Jimmy buckets!!! man, the sixers definitely have a closer now.

Damn, Jimmy just iced the game with a 3 against the Hornets. Crazy game. Hornets haven't beaten the Sixers for the longest.

Should have gotten him for jaylen + Rozier + picks when we had the chance.

Are you guys worried? I had you over the Raps, but the Sixers look good now

Board is melting down. I'd say we're beyond worried.

Pretty much because Celtics look like a juggernaut one night and a lottery team the next. Hell, beyond a lottery team sometimes.

The 76ers beat the Hornets in OT...wow, so impressive...
I don't buy the hype around this franchise.

Embiid has talent, but he is a stat padder.
Last five games :
FG% > 36% on 19 attemps/game
3pts > 38% on 5 attemps/game

Same thing with Simmons.

Celtics might not even be able to keep up with Hornets.

Sixers are still nothing special. Not a championship caliber team, and I'm not hating. As of right now we just suck and it kinda seems like no team in the East is in the same stratosphere as the Warriros.

Time to talk about the elephant in the room:

why is The Kelly Olynyk only averaging 17mpg (and dropping) in November.

that's bad for ratings, that's bad for ad revenue, that's bad for basketball: the League's better when Kelly Olynyk is a factor.

Kevin Durant looking like JB shooting the ball in the last 4 min of that Spurs game. Lol

JB and Smart for Beal.

Silky · Post #1937 » by **Silky** » Mon Nov 19, 2018 10:10 pm

I want beal. I really like him and he is abstar just waiting to break out.

I want him sooner than when smarts trade restriction opens up.

And I am still not sure I like Horf as starting center for a full season especially with Tatum as the pf.

But I love Beal at the sg spot beside irving.

Not that I want either of them...but isn't Wall the better deal?....thinking in terms of a possible scenario where Kyrie either does not return or is traded....Wall would be the more valuable commodity???......Wall being already signed for 4 years...at a reasonable price?

Regardless of whether or not the Sixers have Butler.

Nope. If we play to our potential, we're out in the second round. If we don't, we're out in the first. We and, apparently, Danny have way overrated our talent. Kyrie, a declining Horford, an injured Hayward and a bunch of mediocre young guys isn't going to get it done.

Doesn't this dude only post here when we're losing?

Seems dubious dude. To be honest I really doubt you're a Celtics fan.

Thats absurd. I did it at first too. And it was because this was a place to vent when I was fustrated with the team. When things were good, I enjoyed it to myself, with company, etc.

You are seeing messages on a message board. Who knows why someone only posts negative things? I did. And Im a huge fan with confidence in this team. Cut him some slack I say..people experience fandom differently, and use message boards for different reasons. It seems like there's an unspoken "rule" or brotherhood of "real" or "superior" fans who seem to defend the team against lesser fans. But thats the nature of message boards
