Which they will never capitalize on.

Talk about potential all you want, because after all, it's just potential. It most likely will never become actuality. The mere fact you buy into the trust the process bullshit, all this tanking and rebuilding, one day were going to rule the nba world bullshit, speaks volumes about your intelligence, or therefore lack of.


Based on what? That's the dumbest thing you could say here, "it most likely will never happen" is what you're saying....based on? I wasn't aware you could predict the future. The only thing we can go off is potential, and look at the talent and reports that these players project. There are so many factors, yet you just spew dumb shit like that lol.

Fact of the matter is, most NBA analyst, "experts", scouts, etc. generally agree that the Sixers are in an outstanding situation and COULD take a leap to the next level, very quick. Obviously it's the NBA, there are no guarantees but all you can do as a franchise is set yourselves up to be in the best position possible to lift off. They already have the pieces to do so, when you have prospects like Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, both of whom have superstar potential, then you have guys like Dario who balled out as a rookie and lived up to and exceeded his hype, Robert Covington who quietly was a top 20 player in the NBA last season when looking at RPM (and the #1 defensive SF in the league in DRPM), Richaun Holmes (who actually outperformed Noel after he was traded), TLC who is another rookie and was casually putting up 18+ points per game the last month of the season proving to form into a pretty solid two way player by seasons end, etc.

Look at the Timberwolves, with all the top prospects that they have drafted and the big names (Towns, Wiggins, LaVine, etc, etc) and so much potential they finished the season 31-51, despite being a VERY healthy team this season (outside of LaVine going down later in the year) which is just 3 wins better than the god damn 76ers. The same 76ers that didn't have Simmons this season, only had Embiid for like 31 games, had injuries galore, and essentially limped to the end of the season.

It's all about perspective, and the current roster that this team has PLUS the potential for getting TWO top 5 picks in this upcoming 2017 draft, to go with the future draft picks and financial flexibility.....it has us feeling good. B)

Literally dont have the patience to read your homerism novel, but i assume this long winded, diarrhea of a post tries to justify that the sixers have the most potential in the league and are in an amazing position to capitalize off it.

The sixers will be a dumpster fire for the foreseeable future, dwelling in the basement of the nba, just as you dwell in your own basement, jerking off into old tube socks everytime something positive is said about your joke of a franchise. You are an embarrassment to the male species with how much sixers cum you swallow. All you do is provide worthless drivel and are a laughing stock to the subredditors here, who find entertainment in your blindness. In another 3 years from now, you will continue to make these threads saying the same "alright boys trust the process, next year is the year, we have 48 #1 draft picks coming, a clone of michael jordan and the collective, computer animated brain of pop, jackson, and kerr to coach us, we did it boys!" A never ending cycle of disappointment.

The Democrats will be a dumpster fire for the foreseeable future, dwelling in the basement of politics, just as you dwell in your own basement, jerking off into old tube socks everytime something positive is said about your joke of a party. You are an embarrassment to the male species with how much liberal media cum you swallow. All you do is provide worthless drivel and are a laughing stock to the subredditors here, who find entertainment in your blindness. In another 3 years from now, you will continue to make these threads saying the same "alright boys trust the process, next year is the year, we have no reliable candidate, a clone of Hillary Clinton and the collective, computer animated brain of Bernie, Al Gore, and Obama to help us, we did it boys!" A never ending cycle of disappointment.


Fixed. Now it sounds like you are talking about Voyaging.

You're trying too hard.

Like, you want this to be a serious burn but it just comes off as trying really hard. Like you went and copy pasta'd that shit from various forums to try and get a good reaction, but nobody really takes you serious and your post further proves it.

You get slammed, and immediately come back with that.

Triggered :rofl:

Another masterful display of ignorance, kudos.

You say I'm the one who is triggered, but look at you over here typing a novel, and then a blatantly obvious attempt to divert the conversation to me being "triggered" because you genuinely have nothing of note to say about your pathetic franchise, besides hopes and dreams that'll never become reality.

Typical. Enjoy being the subject of continuous ridicule.

Honestly, most of those really long story-like insults come off as contrived. Most of the time you can apply your insulting image to anyone in any argument, which makes it not that creative/unique and therefore not that interesting, at least to me.

I typed out a full response, strictly on topic about the topic at hand.

You reply back with copy pasta personal attacks, saying a bunch of dumb shit. Classic bailout resort with internet rage, you lose an argument and jump off topic to resort to personal attacks. That's basics 101 around here in arguments, automatic loss.


Remind me again, who was triggered? Just take your loss and walk away bro, tomorrow is a new day.
