Support your players you bunch of whiners.


Yes. A max contract Draymond, without the Steph and Klay nonetheless, is a total waste.

He's a moody little jerk that takes a bunch of bad shots, commits a ton of turnovers, and plays the most selfish brand of basketball in the NBA. Just on personal projection, I wouldn't want to play with him.

And we have instances where all three of Durant, George, and Harden all bailed on him.

Didn't Draymond have a sexting scandal not long ago? I'm sure the dude is getting around.

Also, Green shot almost 80% from FT this year (and shoots two 3s per game), whereas Ben shot 0-6, including misses in crunchtime when it was still a game. I'd honestly take Draymond for a playoff run over Ben. I'd take Ben every other time for his perceived value in future trades.

Exactly these type of fans make me sick and it’s one of the main reasons I don’t post here hardly ever!

Ben has got to shoot free throws way better though, not being a jump shooter is fine with me right now but you cannot go 0-6 from the free throw line! Simmons needs to get his **** together because not being atleast a 70% FT shooter is unacceptable

The only thing worse than Sixer fans are international fans that only care about one player and not an iota about the actual team they play for.

Thank god for Westbrook.

You can always depend on him to do something dumb.

I dont mind Simmons playing like that minus the 0% ft and maybe a few more shot attempts. Better than chucking to no end like Giannis did yesterday. This was going to be Wizards' best chance to win in Philadelphia and we won relatively comfortably, even with Embiid's foul trouble.

Having said that, i still dont trust our offense and if our defense doesnt improve we will have problems even in the first two rounds.

Do the Sixers have a Steph, Klay, or Durant to make up for, and space the floor for, a Draymond?

And Boston fans. You forgot Boston fans.

Let’s not forget Raptor fans, either.

Jazz fans are pretty annoying as well with their inferiority complex.

So to recap: Boston, Toronto, Utah, Simmons, Sixers

So you're calling the Sixers front office clueless morons for sticking with Simmons?? And Doc for getting excited about coaching this team.

We can't help ourselves. We're degenerates in search of meaning. We lash out at the players because, deep down, we despise who we are. But can you blame us? We're grotesque monsters. No man or woman could ever love us. We cry out for affection the best we can, but it's barely intelligible to passersby. Instead, we gather here to wallow in our self hatred and convince ourselves that life if just as unfair as we make it out to be. A LSD trip or even daily meditation would help us realize the truth, but we dismiss drug-taking as a pathetic endeavor. We see sunshine as oppressive, so we only dwell where darkness is king. We push posters like you away because you attempt to make life brighter. But we're too far underground. The light would only sting our eyes, rendering us blind. Take your banter to twitter, where optimism reigns. You're of better use there.

Incredibly, the only stats he cares about are in a vacuum and completely without any context or nuance. Anything that feels like a complete slam dunk argument against people who were born yesterday.

IMO, next game will be telling if the closeness of this game was due to rust or not. If not, then the outlook is not good.

The one positive (besides the W) was seeing Harris light it up. If they make it to the ECF, I'm willing to bet he will be involved in a few key moments as the second option. It'd be nice if he could build some confidence up going into that spot.

or ignore the Game Threads? People are in the moment and basically just popping off at the mouth. We say irrational **** because we're invested in the game. The other threads are way more nuanced aside from the Ben thread because he's literally the most polarizing star player in recent Philadelphia sport history.
They say an analytics man doesn't have a heart, but I ran the numbers and nothing can be further from the truth - Sam Hinkie probably
