OT: Teh Philadelphia Seventy Sixers: We'll Make You Tap

[Embiid]

Watching the replays of the idiocy giving me an ulcer. Why did Embiid hold on to the ball so long when it got poked...he had two men open he could have passed to easily. He has such terrible form with the ball when he's double teamed....

 

[AaronTrieu]

What’s the sixers record against the zone. Lolllll

 

[The Madrigal]

Besides the OBVIOUS need for a shooter or two, this team needs some changes. I wonder how much longer Brand is going to sit back and watch this team underachieve.

kevin love and chris paul would move the needle for sure, simmons and harris wont.

Next up....Indiana and Houston. This should be interesting. Like I said....giving Brown till end of Jan to intill some damn discipline in this team especially with its two "stars." They continue to do whatever the hell they want. Embiid deciding on his own last game to try and get fouled and go to line against the double team when he had open men (got stripped instead)...and Simmons saying nah to Brown's diktat....I'm not gonna try and shoot at least one effin three a game even when I'm open. They don't respect the guy....and Simmons especially is a diva....

Miami gets blown out in DC. Its Bucks first and then everyone else in a cluster.
A Lot of this year's narrative has yet to be written.
Still very much in the hunt for the 2 seed despite only Kork and Matisse meeting or exceeding expectations on the roster to this point.

Im choosing to be positive because otherwise the rest of this season is going to be torturous.

Beal didn't play either.

Jordan McRae!

 

[FLYguy3911]

Damn. Pelle must lead the league in Posters/36. He challenges everything.

 

[Embiid]

This team is so lame lately.....another crappy effort so far. Great way to kick off the New Year...if they lose

 

[Embiid]

Team has packed it in...hope they have fun tonight...

Happy New Year Sixers fans....compliments of your yellow bellied Sixers...

 

[Jack Straw]

This team looks lost. And they have Houston, OKC, Boston, and Dallas coming up- all playoff teams as of now.

 

[Shrike]

What does Ben Simmons do that any generic point guard can’t do?

if he is unwilling to drive, unwilling to shoot, and unwilling to be an option after he passes the ball, I would be unwilling to pay him a big contract. Trade him before the leagues gm’s realise he is all flash and no substance.

 

[Jack Straw]

... unwilling to drive, unwilling to shoot, and unwilling to be an option after he passes the ball...

This is a disturbingly accurate description of Ben Simmons.

 

[Embiid]

This team looks lost. And they have Houston, OKC, Boston, and Dallas coming up- all playoff teams as of now.

They decided to give themselves the day off...

Fire Brown!

Yup..this guantlet of games will tell a lot....so far very very bad.

 

[Embiid]

This team without Embiid is the pitts but seriously where is the added value from Horford? Guy just came for the contract...also he seems not to fit into this offense whatever it is anymore...

 

[tucson83]

this is getting to a point where you just cant make excuses for ben and harris anymore, if this team cant win without embiid then these guys are not stars which means they have to trade for them because embiid cant be relyed on.

He's a better passer but that's about it. If he was 6'2 nobody would even make a big deal out of him. It's the fact that he's 6'10 and can handle the ball and pass that people make a big deal out of him. I've been saying since the Boston series two years ago he is vastly overrated and the Sixers would be better off trading him. Hopefully they wise up soon and realize that and bring in a PG who can shoot and bring a different element to the team.

Note to "new guys": please go ahead and step on some toes. Step on entire feet if you have to.
