OT: Teh Philadelphia Severty Sixers: Let’s Still Do This For JS’s Goodest and Bestest Boy

[Jack Straw]

Here's an answer from one of the people most likely to have a meaningful one:

I can see that kind of situation occurring, but I see plenty of times when guys (like Embiid) are right there in the paint when the shot goes up and they still don’t box out.

 

[The Madrigal]

I've doubted the Heat all year, safe to say they're for real.

Me too. I was wrong about Jimmy Butler. There is a reason why every player for the Sixers during BB's tenure was better before and/or after they were with the Sixers. The Heat's rise is also a prime example of how coaching can and does make a difference. Spoelstra is damn good at what he does.

But we are gonna get Tyronn Lue...

If Kawhi disappeared when Thanos snaps his fingers I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep.

Throw Idina Menzel in that ring too

Has Spike Eskin issued an apology or admit he was wrong about Jimmy Butler yet? I remember the pod right after he left and it was just straight vitriol to the guy.

Spike Eskin is a complete and utter clown and that's putting it nicely.

Spike Eskin started out with integrity during his earlier years, but eventually the cash gained from hot takes won out.

Feels like this is exact scenario has happened all over the sports talk radio landscape.

Like Father like son...

NBA IMO has done a better job than the NHL with making the crowd-less arena more presentable but obviously a different set up court-side ....easier to mock up but still props to them for being more creative. NHL looks like a funeral parlor in comparison.

 

[Hurricane28]

I think both did a real good job, I don't really notice much of a difference. Memorable moments though such as the Luka 3 for example won't be as memorable though without crowds.

I think the real interesting case is the NFL, where we could already hear snap counts and cadence on the line of scrimmage. Should be able to hear it even clearer now.

Also didn't know crowd noise was capped at 70 decibels, and that they can't cycle it on or off depending on who is on the field.

There was def a learning curve. First week or two the NBA games looked and sounded like a summer league gym.

Hate to be that guy but champions this season should get an *.

 

[FLYguy3911]

There’s our guy.

 

[Chinatown88]

There’s our guy.

No

 

[DancingPanther]

Swear to god if the Sixers choose Lue over this guy

 

[FLYguy3911]

No

Yup.

 

[Chinatown88]

Yup.

Nein

 

[Embiid]

Heat movin onward and upward. Will be typical if Butler gets a ring...

 

[cheesesteak]

At least Horford can be reunited with his college coach. I actually like Donovan but only really know him from those Gator teams with Noah and Horford.

It’s a shame the Sixers signed Horford and Harris instead of making Butler feel like part of the process. Was hoping they could make it work, but this team was better put together for Embiid/Simmons with players Reddick, Belinelli, and Ilyasova.

It will prolly happen because Lue gOtS a rInG!

OKC is such a mess..loads of talent they develop but can't accomplish anything themselves. The Montreal Expos of the NBA..

Sixers really shit the bed with the Butler and Harris acquisitions....gave up so much for marginal returns. Terrible asset management by the FO. Holmgren level...

He sucks.
