I can never hate on Danny for missing out on Maxey and Bane because if Danny picked Hield over Jaylen and Fultz over Tatum...


Danny is so **** stupid and just got lucky. Imagine having the number one pick, and trading down to three. That is so **** risky stupid. We could have left with lonzo or fultz.

Sixers didn't have a 2nd elite player to pair with Embiid before. They do now.

Heard this story from them before. End result is always the same

If we're going off recent history, then I guess we can expect the Celtics to fall short of a title too?

If only they had players with proven playoff success like Jimmy Butler!

I know some of y'all think Tyrese Haliburton is a +40 player. let's just agree to disagree.

I mean, 25 points and 17 assists is pretty good...

The sixers are who they are, and we will be laughing at them once again when they bow out in the second round. You will see

Maybe we can palm Pritchard off on the Nuggets. They seem desperate for a ball handler.

One coworker wasn’t all he ****. Unfortunate.

Celtics fans struggle with objectivity if you’re going to use “do it in the playoffs” as a crutch for the Sixers. They’re really good this year, right with Denver imo.

Or some of us don’t buy the hype after less than 10 games when the sixers have shown for years exactly who they are. Let them have their fun in the regular season. I don’t fear them one iota

If you want to be objective then let's not ignore the Sixers playing a ton of games at home and playing a bunch of really weak teams. The best team they played other than the Cs was probably the Pacers aka the team we beat by 50. Let's see where they are after 30 games.

These are the dysfunction-less Sixers. Probably 1st time in Embiid era. Maxey making All-Star leap. Best coach they’ve had by a mile. Nurse has proven he can coach a team led by MVP type talent. They’re playing loose and free. But Embiid still needs to stay healthy through 90+ games or so. We shall see.
