Celtics @ Sixers 7 pm ET

then fire the GM , he brought the players

The thing is, everyone saw this coming. It's been a running joke since the draft. What did we expect would happen?

I didn't expect the team to go 0-30 to start the season, they took it too far

0-30 is 19 games away, aka over a month's worth of games. Can they at least get halfway there before you start acting like is already happened?

I am just speculating

[WorldBeFree]

It's hard to get on Brett Brown's case, because he has so little to work with, but this team is out to sea man. No concept of what they're trying to achieve out there. And KJ only getting 11 minutes? Wtf...

Its Browns fault, doesnt run plays everyone running around with no.idea what to do.
Edit solomon hill just made a amazing buzzer beater. When pacers can win why we cant?

There's not many "plays" in the kind of offense they are running. It's a motion offense where you make decisions based on where the ball moves.

They aren't a lot of "plays" in many NBA offenses in general. This isn't high school ball.

Where is the motion? I consider it a play and where is the ball movement? Ball falling to floor and getting back up into mcw hand isnt it ^^
I am from europe, here plays arent only for high schools. Bad teams should run plays, if they dont have a good to great player on their team to ISO or draw double teams and so on

Oh yeah I miss those mediocre teams too.......

What wrong with mediocre actually? Hinkie. We don't need to go down before going to the top.

History disagrees with you. There are many examples.

Right, but we do not want to repeat the history. It is bloody. .

[Embiid P]

If you jokers are about to wish to go back to the old days...I am going to take a long break from this board.

You guys cried for the tank for years. You get it and suddenly are crying for more of the same exact **** you complained about?

0-30 would be insane and too much yes. But lets be real here...3-27 or 10-20 isn't much better and at the end of the day this is exactly what you are were asking for.


holy **** how quick you are all to jump off the bandwagon when holy crap...we actually are tanking?!?

wow

IKR? I thought they knew what we were getting into before the season started. Now things changed since we are 0-11? I know this team is tough to watch on a nightly basis, but remember we lost 26 straight last year. If we can survive that as an NBA fanbase, we can pretty much survive anything.

[ryst]

I don't see anyone crying about the tanking or the plan
I see people understand reality
and the reality after a 26 losing streak last year and maybe similar streak to start the season this year some people(including me) think it is too much and might get people fired

what is so outrageous about that?

[GoSixersBro]

It would be a lot cooler if we tanked this amazingly in 2013-2014 when thinking about draft classes, but I'm not going to complain. This is what we're in for and it will be worth it in the end.

[AAKing23]

I don't wanna see Thompson, Davies or Mbah a Moute back next season, I've seen enough of them. Davies and Thompson are not NBA players and they have no upside.

I completely agree that they aren't running the offense as well as they could be. That is partially Brown's fault.

Agree. We know the plan and are sticking to it with no regret at all. The good days are yet to come.

[WorldBeFree]

No one is against the tank, the super tank is to much. Also just lost some money to my teammate.
Its just we all see how they play, how some of them suck hard, how kj sits. There is no need for all of that. The tank is on, everyone accepts it, we just dont want to suck that hard...

But seriously why are people complaining about a season that we knew was a lost cause since draft night? In the end is there really that much of a difference between a 5 win team and a 20 win team? No, a bad team is still a bad team. I get the whole wanting to win from a player's standpoint to boost morale, but as fans, we all should have known what we were getting into months before the season started.

[Mogul]

As long as we win 1 out of every 27, I'm fine with super-sucking. I just don't want that record losing streak.

I understand your point from management's perspective (they need someone to take the fall. still don't think they should do it though).

I don't understand it from your perspective. Do you just get pleasure out of seeing people lose their jobs?

I somehow look at it as a player, imagine myself how it must feel when you lose every game. Also as a fan i dont want that my team loses, just i accept the tank doesnt i want to lose. I watch every game with hopes of winning, if i dont i could just stop watching. If i could choose between winning 5 or 20 i take 20.

no one is against tanking but could the Sixers tank beautifully?

It's hard as a true fan to root for your team to lose. Everybody knows what the tank entails, living through it is something different. I can see where his anguish comes from. You never expect it to be THIS bad. The team has no redeeming qualities right now.

[sixersblue]

We have to think in this way, a blow out loss is better than close loss.

Have you ever heard the saying, "You can polish a turd all you want to, but at the end of the day it's still a turd"? Point is we are still a bad team no matter how much management tries to sugarcoat it with D league signings and average NBA role players.

For so long we were a bad team that was simply in denial of that fact by trying to make the playoffs as a 7th or 8th seed to get knocked out in the first round. Now Hinkie and company have accepted our status and have made no secret of it. Acceptance is the first step to getting better no?

So that means they should be fired in the middle of the plan? Because it's slightly worse than you thought it would be?

If this is still going on in a few years, fine, let them go. You've invested a lot at this point, let them carry out what they said they would do.
