ATL - Ham Slamwich to the Lakers

Just imagine if the Sixers took the Haliburton + Hield or McCollum + picks trades like a bunch of us said they should. Now, they're gonna guilt themselves into re-signing Harden to what will immediately become the worst albatross contract in the league. You love to see it.

He had as many 30pt games as 35y Al Holford this season. He is about to get an insane supermax till he is 37-38 years old.

Crowder with the shameless acting.

Also Crowder is such a **** loser. Sick of this dude's flopping.

Booker is having a tough stretch. 2 TOs, 2 fouls, a brick.

Yup, the 30 for 30 on what they did with all those assets to get to this point will be tragic (hilarious for us) to watch. Someone broke it down maybe 18-24 months ago and it was bad then, obviously only worse now.

That's also going to be a bad contract. After years of trying to convince myself Bogut wasn't injury prone because the injuries were in different areas, Embiid is definitely injury prone.

I don't think they are managing him well in the season, which is probably because of thin roster and need to win MVP. So either they work that out or he leaves a lot of his career off of the court.

I'd say take it to the main board but I assume Harden is fresh out of fans by now.

In Ben Simmons’ defence, the 76ers collective mental fragility is not on him and this series shows it. He was part of a broader issue in that the team has no heart. They gave up way two easily those last two games having worked themselves back into the series in games 3&4.

Pathetic whimper of an end to the season. Even if embiid is healthy I don’t think they would have won that series.

They’ll never do it but I’d be letting harden walk and let a team like the Kangs sign him to an albatross contract.

Bogut was out for like 3 months for “viral illness” or some ****. Missed 2 games a month with “head aches”. And, missed like 2 weeks with “personal reasons, not death in family” in Australia.

Dude was less injury prone than a constantly menstruating woman.

Brought in his own coach as a security blanket. Talked **** about NBA hall of famers and Australian legends before he ever did anything. Started lockeroom ****. Had terrible taste in music. Seems like a definite MAGA guy.

He was one of my least favorite Bucks ever.

Mavs have made more threes than the Suns have attempted and the Suns only have 4 midrange points. Feel like that's a bad recipe for Phoenix.

Yeah, he is another one that was not always like that and it is getting worse and worse every year.

Guys like CP3, Smart, Booker, Luca, Harden...have always been floppers. It is weird when a player like Crowder is such a good defender for x amount of years and resorts to those antics.

0 **** given about throwing a teammate under a bus. Should you throw teammates under a bus? Maybe, I don't know- but you should at least seem like you give a **** about them.

Wow embiid really said that after everything that happened last year? :lol:

Embiid was really thinly veiled. He said he loved Morey, and shouted out...two guys he traded (Seth, Drummond). He said he wishes hey still had Jimmy - "I don't know why we let him go." And he said the above about Harden. Excellent stuff

Plossum · Post #218 » by **Plossum** » Fri May 13, 2022 3:52 am

I hope Harden tries to box Philly in and declines that player option.

Crowder doing dweeb **** that leads to Paul being injured would be the most fitting thing ever.

If it's the truth I'm all for throwing teammates under a bus. And then jumping on the bus and backing it up and running him over a couple more times.
