Thie Sixers are seriously bad for the NBA

[masonanddixon]

Down 30 in the 2nd quarter. Not even pretending to be competitive. I bet no home fans even show up when they are on the road.

They are terrible for the league, the image of the sport, and for the fans.

Yep, but with the current draft lottery rules....it's pretty smart. People will come when they get good at home and on the road.

This team could be absurdly talented/good in a couple years.

Surprisingly Mavs arena is packed. Bad news for the Sixers is that the Mavs have blown so many 3rd quarter leads already this season that Carlisle will probably challenge them at halftime to come out with 100% effort in the 3rd, even if they are up 45 at halfime.

lol that would be funny. I usually watch any Mavs game I can when I am free but it'sn pointless against the Sixers because you know they are actively trying to not win.

Their roster is pure garbage still. They have to hope and pray one of their big men turns out to be gold and even thats not anywhere near a certainty

[Qwyjibo]

It's on the NBA to fix the system then. I don't blame the Sixers. This is Philly, it's not like they will be at risk of relocation so they can afford to try this.

[bigt]

[JimmyMcAdocious]

How pissed off will everyone be after the Sixers become OKC East after this tank?

[R.I.P.]

Make that 40 in the second quarter :oldlol:

Suprisingly the Sixers have been within four points in the 4th quarter in six games so far, but that was probably when they treated every game like game seven of the finals and now they settle in the every day feel.

[DMAVS41]

Their roster is pure garbage still. They have to hope and pray one of their big men turns out to be gold and even thats not anywhere near a certainty

And there is certainty in running with Holiday and Thad Young to win 42 games every year?

Meh...they don't have garbage. Noel, MCW, Saric, and Embid is at least loads of talent.

You are looking at having the above and a top 3 pick this year....top 5 or so pick the following year. With loads of cap space to do whatever they want.

That potential is worth it in my opinion.

[Genaro]

The GMs had their chance to change it and didn't. It's pretty bad for the league if you ask me.

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

Saric aint here yet. And do you think MCW will want to stay with a tanking team?

Embiid hasn't played a game. And Noel after his surgery will have growing pains.

I don't see a franchise player out of that group.

There are very few sure things in the NBA, but I'd take that potential over what I know I have with scraping into the playoffs each year with no chance to win titles with the likes of Young and Holiday.

I hate the rules, but if winning the title is the goal...this is definitely smarter.

Surely they won't be tanking after this year. Next season their rotation will consist of MCW, Embiid, Noel, Saric, top 3 pick this draft. Whether they win or not they will be competing next season, not tanking.

the 76ers have sucked ass before. That one 76er's team lead by Fred Carter in the 70s never won shit either. Some say that was one of the shittiest 76er's teams of all time. The Shawn Bradley era Sixers were pretty ****ing terrible also. I think this current 76er's team can beat that 76er's team that drafted Shawn Bradley.

They found a plan and are sticking with it.

We were never going to win anything with Holiday, nor any of the players we had. Many Sixer fans feel we got very lucky with MCW.

Adding Nerlens(who is doing nicely so far) and Embiid IF he turns out to be something great, will make it all worth it.

The 'core' that we have now will rotate into role players and we will have about 5-6 different potent weapons.

It's a very smart plan, just need patience now.

[hateraid]

Sixers had worse futility in the 90's before finally being competitive. And that's when we won multiple lotteries. It's been worse. But last year's and this year's teams are understandible. We started the year with no returning starters and an injured PG. Yet we almost beat Chicago?
It's not like we're tanking. We're developing and showcasing potential trade scenarios. Loses were inevitable. But the upside is very promising which makes the losing tolerable

[hawksdogsbraves]

I guarantee you the Sixers won't make the playoffs next year. They'll be tanking again.

Embiid and Saric will be good but not in their first years. Noel also needs time to develop, and MCW frankly isn't going to carry anybody to anything.

The good thing to come out of all of this is that the lottery rules will likely be changed.

Nowhere. I shitted on your "3 years of being a disgrace" nonsense. Your entire argument is the Sixers are a disgraced based on INTENTIONALLY PUTTING TOGETHER BAD ROSTERS. This has happened 2 seasons, not 3 as you suggested. 2 seasons ago the Sixers were NOT trying to lose. All you did was look at the win total and ASSume. And fail miserably at it. Swallow your pride whatever left of it and just take the LOSS. Fall on the knife.

Its 2 years not 3.

And you cant see that the Sixers 3 years ago were not trying to lose. Are you naturally retarded or just practicing to be?

What are you even talkin about? Notice you avoid me embarrassing your argument and logic? Let's recap shithead.

Sixers are a disgrace for tanking past 3 seasons they say

I mention kings have been living in the lottery past 8 seasons. They avg during this run 26-27 wins per game.

You say "they weren't trying to lose tho it's different".

I mention 3 seasons ago Sixers were run by a different front office, approach. No different than what you were excusing Kings performance past 8 years was.

You ignore fatal facts then talk about something else.

The irony is that you are losing more games than the Sixers and tanking at the game called LIFE.

They aren't throwing games, they have no talent. The only players on that team who are NBA players are MCW, Noel, McDaniels and then there are few fringe guys like Wroten, Shved etc. This is not a team that can win much. They have a coach who is an excellent player development guy but with a roster without even five really solid NBA players, regardless of how hard they play, they will not win many games. That's just reality. The tank in Philly isn't in what the coach or players are doing, it's with the roster they've fielded. Please tell me how "throwing games" will help Hollis Thompson's career or Chris Johnson's, or any of the other D-League level talent on their roster. It won't and that's why you won't find players "tanking". The player doesn't benefit from it at all. Stop reading sensationalized stupid stories and believing them.

I think Tony Scrotum gets way more flak then he deserves. Yes he's a little reckless and turnover happy but he's young and still learning the game.

Replace them with a D-League team.

Seriously though, this shit is horrible for the NBA. I understand that if there's a loophole, might as well take advantage of it, and the blame is on the NBA more than the Sixers but this stuff is just ugly. Makes the league look awful especially to the casual bball fan/ the football fan who starts paying attention to the NBA after Christmas.

Horrible for the NBA? Why is it the Sixers are God awful bad and people want to talk like politicians. Like the Bobcats Wolves Kings Cavs post bron never existed. Teams have been blown out before. Teams have been bad LONGER than the Sixers stretch.


I dont understand. You'd rather have your team willing throwing games instead of learning how to win as a group? You guys have enough talent, stop being p*ssies and start grinding.

They aren't throwing games. As said they aren't very talented. This team was built this way so winning wouldnt take place. The players and coach do not gameplan to lose. They want to win, execute, etc. These guys are digging and grinding. In fact when Sixers win it will because of high energy hustle effort.

If u watched the Sixers and honestly I can't blame u or anyone who hasn't. They have been IN games for 3 quarters and shit the bed in the 4th. I typed this already I guess people don't care or think I'm making shit up. Last night was bad and any and everything they could go wrong did. It happens.

ESPN praising their willingness to tank and shitting on Lakers for being so bad.

Most ass backwards reporting Ive ever seen.


One team had no intention of trying to win this year. One team wanted to win and just sucks.

[hateraid]

I'm totally ok with what's happening. This will be the last year of it though. Next year will be somewhat better.

On anither note, Wroten looked like his normal shitty self without the ball in his hands all the time.

You had to go there! J/J

I think people are lumping together everything from Post November to now and calling it tanking. We had a blowout sale last year and got rid of all our vets. Standard recover time for that is at least 2 or 3 years. We are not even 1 year removed.
Another thing people don't realize is we do not have 1 experienced vet in our starting line-up. We're a developing young team. Losing is a given, we're not aspiring to lose.
I'm sold on the plan.

Meanwhile Sixers are 2-18, Pistons 3-18 (lost to Sixers), Wolves 4-18 (lost to Sixers), NYK 4-18 (What did Phil Jackson say about them recently?) and Charlotte 5-15/Lakers 5-16. But Sixers are seriously bad for the NBA, can't beat Kentucky, can't hang in the Dleague, franchise has been set back for years & years according to one idiot.

You guys are hilarious. :facepalm
