Didn't they get absolutely blasted by the Bucks on national TV too?

Tatum only needs 3 quarters :rolleyes:


Aren’t we still better than your team in every single way too?

Yes. The 76ers aren't world beaters or champ favorites though. We have realistic expectations.

For the Celtics it's championship or bust.

But thanks for comparing your team to the Sixers 😁

Honestly, do you read what you post?

Just sit down for a second and read whatever nonsense you just hammered out on your poor keyboard. Then come back and talk to us.

He’s not wrong though

And how is it championship or bust for the Celtics, but not for for the 76ers? An insanely large reliance on a heavily injury prone player who has proven he isn’t cut for post season basketball.

All your eggs are in literally just one tiny little fragile basket. Once that basket breaks, you’re back to tanking again for another decade lol.

Embiid is in his 30s now but “no rush we aren’t even in our final form”

lol Embiids prime might only be a couple more seasons

In what world did the 76ers enter this season with championship aspirations???? C'mon now

Do they have a shot? Certainly, they're probably top 5, as long as everyone is healthy they're obviously a great team. But as we've been saying all along, this roster needs one more move to truly be the best. They're one piece away. They're not better than the Celtics as they currently stand, but they have the flexibility to get there thankfully

Most fans didn't want them to just punt this season. They're a lot better than most gave them credit for under Nurse, with Maxey taking another step, and with Morey adding some key veterans. But again, still missing that one move.

You're right, but that's not a reason to make a move just to make a move. While they're one good move away, that move could also backfire and ruin any chance they have of staying relevant for the next few years.

The new cap apron rules will make things interesting around the league. A lot of players will be available that normally wouldn't have been in the past.

in game theory there's "playing to win" and "playing not to lose" if the 76ers are in a position where they could feasibly be Champions, then the time to push their chips in is now

the Raptors weren't the best team on paper when they won, the Bucks weren't the best team on paper when they won either

I think if Philly management is reluctant to make an all-in move, that signals they don't have much faith in being Champions EVEN IF everything breaks their way
