You didn't even wait until the clock hit 0:00

They're dead already. The machine registering a heartbeat is just a bit wonky.

[dockingsched]

Sixers performed as well as they should’ve been expected to as currently constructed. Second round exit.

Ceiling goes up if they get better coaching.

[VanWest82]

Things could get tricky very quickly for Embiid and co. They either pay Harden something he isn't worth, thereby hamstringing them for the rest of Embiid's time there, or hope to recoup something helpful in a S&T. It's very hard to comment without knowing how that plays out.

[Childs]

Just trust the process.

[Floody100]

Death, Taxes & Phily getting bounced in the Second Round.

[okboomer]

Get rid of everyone except Maxey. He has the right mindset and will be a future all star.

[pontius]

The choker trifecta (Doc, Harden, Embiid) magnum opus.

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

The process has been a failure. Docs is gunna get fired and Harden looks like he packed his bags before the game started

[SkyHookFTW]

This poll might be the most lopsided “fire the coach” vote out of all the post-mortems.

[Ballerhogger]

Gotta be record for you . Well fire doc step 1 . Figure out if you want Embiid to stay or not .. let harden go and most of the role players .adds picks to get rid of tobais . There’s nothing to run back

We knew from day one that it was a mistake to hire Doc and to trade for Harden. Blame Morey.

[Yuri Vaultin]

Doc giona Doc. Harden gonna chuck. Embiid goina cry and avoid accountability.

Harden has to go . Need few more players but yea new coach is sorely needed

[Marvin Martian]

Why did they trade Thybulle? They literally have no perimeter defenders now. And they also have no depth. This team is finished

James Harden

Exactly what we'd all expect every time.

Like death and taxes in this bitch. It couldn't have gone any other way and if you search your heart you know that to be true.

And Thybulle shot better from 3 in Portland suddenly. Wonder why?

[Calinks]

Got to find a better wing/guard to be the number 1 offense getter. Embiid will have to be option 1B. I don't know who would be available at this point but they need a younger, more effective player than Harden. Jimmy Butler was that perfect guy but it didn't work out.
