OT: Philadelphia 76ers: Onseason

[Les Averman]

Yeah I think this is pretty difficult to read, honestly. I've zoomed my browser out for this domain just to be able to see more on the screen. Way too much padding on the posts because of the height of the profile. Date/Time being at the bottom sucks as well. I'm not usually one to complain about a new structure but I'm really not a fan of this at all.

 

[Embiid]

So the NBA just passed lottery reform....top 3 sucky teams now have the same weighted odds at getting the number 1 if I read it correctly. Not sure it is much of a reform...

 

[Lotusflower]

Its not really. The Sixers only finished dead last once in the 4 years of the Process. The plan was always to end up in that top 3 area because getting the top pick was a crapshoot even when the lottery was weighted more towards the worst team. This wont stop tanking at all, it'll just make the lottery a little more intriguing.

Playoffs or not, this team is going to be fun.

 

[Jack Straw]

Watching the blue-white game, Okafor has a whole new body. He looks great, maybe it will improve his all around game.

 

[Jack Straw]

Simmons has an odd FT shooting style.

You were looking at the wrong Okafor

So I was (am) trying to get partial season tickets for this year and filled out the "Request Info" form as soon as they became available and still haven't got an email. Even if they're sold out or whatever I should have a least heard back by now right? It's been well over a week.

I wouldn't be surprised if they sold out already. Back in June, they had already sold 14,000 full season tickets, which led the NBA. I'd imagine those plans are gone and wouldn't be surprised if partial is as well. Said they were expecting to sell out every home ticket this season. Capacity is around 19,500, so I'd imagine they're all gone.

But you'd at least think I get a response saying that they're gone.

In that scrimmage his shot was embarrassing. This guy is gonna be like mcw 2.0. Im not encouraged at all

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

You're f***ig crazy.. MCW isn't even a functional NBA player.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Apparently Embiid was caught midnight jogging. lol

 

[Jtown]

Mcw could do everything but shoot. Simmons is a worst shooter

MCW can't do anything.

 

[Jtown]

MCW can't do anything.

Check out those rookie stats

Why would I do that?

So you can make an informed statement instead of coming off as ignorant.

There's nothing similar between the two aside from their inability to shoot.

Mcw his rookie year accomplished something only magic and oscar accomolished by avg over 16 pts 6 rbs and 6 assits. Look as his d too. Great defender

 

[Hiesenberg]

What about the rest of MCW's career?

 

[Jtown]

He nevwr improved his shot. Shooting is the most important skill in todays nba. Teams gave up on him. Simple as that.

I'm confused. Why are you continuing to talk up MCW by only discussing his rookie season, directly after you compared him to Simmons in a negative sense.

I just really don't understand the argument at all.

Im saying they simmons may be able to revound and pass and defend a la mcw. But if he can't shoot he will be an afterthought on this team. Mcw sadly is a better shooter than simmons

As someone who used to work there in the ticket department, the form you submitted gets sent to management then they would distribute that "lead" as they see fit. They have had a ton of internal change over the last month (most sixers reps are selling devils tickets as of now) so chances are they have not yet distributed all of the form submits. I'd imagine as others have said as well that they are completely sold out and that...fair or not...you are probably not a high priority for them right now. Wouldnt be shocked if you dont hear anything until midseason when they start getting an idea of who is renewing their season tickets and who is not.
