OT: Teh Philadelphia Seventy Sixers are Almost done searching

[Beef Invictus]

I remember many years ago when the late Congressman Tom Lantos tore into tech companies acting as toadies for oppressive totalitarian governments by calling them "Moral Pygmies". That sums up exactly what I think of both the NBA and the Sixers organization after this.

It's a f***ing home game, what are they thinking

Without getting political and I’m not defending the Sixers in any shape or form...

I am assuming that they would do this for anyone that is in the stadium making a political statement or something similar. It’s not simply just because they supported Hong Kong and they were playing a Chinese team.

It’s not a good look regardless though.

I also am a ketchup and mayo kinda cheesesteak guy. If this is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

Aside, I heard about the salmon cheesesteak some time ago and it was heavily on my mind, the absurdness of it was fascinating. Went to Lee's deli on Balt Ave, it was a fantastic sandwich, they include shrimp for 'the works'. No ketchup or mayo added, but there extra fixings. Gotta look for them in West, North, Germantown areas. Doubtful they'll be in CC or South.

Yes f***ing sir ketchup and mayo is my go-to

Commy Bastards.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Good time to be capped out. Works for me.

Good time to be capped out. Works for me.

Simmons isn't going to be too happy. Quick math, it could cost him $25-30M over 5 years.

 

[Embiid]

Commy Bastards.

Free King Kong!

Lol.

Obviously China is pissed off but I guess Silver is holding out hoping it passes over & he doesn’t have to piss his base in America (if Morey is the sacrificial lamb in all this).

 

[Embiid]

Did China conduct cyber warfare against the Sixers telecast tonight?

 

[BigToe]

“Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.”

Lol.

They’re all a bunch of phonies.

 

[FLYguy3911]

3 steals in 4 minutes for Thybulle?

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

This squad is going to mercy rule teams.

 

[DancingPanther]

This squad is going to mercy rule teams.

The upgraded team D should mean that their inevitable 2nd half cold spell shouldn't almost blow a 15 pt lead every night, right?

 

[FLYguy3911]

How does Zhaire get 8 minutes in a preseason game?

 

[Striiker]

“Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.”

Lol.

No company cares about any social issues. They care about money. Pretending they care is just how they get gullible people on their side.

 

[Lotusflower]

Simmons this year @ 8 Mil and 170 over the next 5.
Jo @ 148 over 5 counting last year.

Is absolute robbery.

 

[Lotusflower]

Sixers Orlando game isnt being televised but I have a stream so PM me I'll try to respond quickly.

 

[Jack Straw]

Sixers Orlando game isnt being televised but I have a stream so PM me I'll try to respond quickly.

I’m just listening to the radio broadcast and watching the Jets beating Dallas ( fingers crossed)

 

[Embiid]

Tuesday's game should be televised vs Detroit..hope to catch most of it before the Flyers game. So Simmons got 3 pts last game in 20mins. Doesn't look like he learned much this summer so far...

 

[JXC]

This squad is going to mercy rule teams.

I feel like I want to do a poll “In how many of their 82 regular season games this year will the 76ers be outrebounded?” because I think it may wind up being fewer than fifteen.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Oh no. What is you doin, Tobi?

NBA commissioner Adam Silver held a tense meeting with players from the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers last week when he arrived in Shanghai, sources told ESPN's Rachel Nichols.

During the meeting, sources said, several prominent players voiced frustration about their perception that they were being put in the middle of the dispute between the NBA and China, and they said they were unhappy about being asked to address the situation by local Chinese reporters before Silver himself was scheduled to do so.

The relationship between the league and China was disrupted after Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeted in support of anti-government protesters in Hong Kong on Oct. 4. Morey later deleted the tweet and apologized. Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta denounced the tweet and said the Rockets were "not a political organization" and that Morey did not speak for the team.

During the meeting with the players, sources said, Silver was directly asked whether anything would happen to Morey, as several players said they believed that if a player had cost the NBA millions of dollars because of a tweet, there would be repercussions.

Keep being "woke" NBA players but your true colors are showing.

Single mothers working 2 jobs just to make ends meet. I wonder how they sleep at night? Who cares, these athletes need more attention.
