[hawkfan]

This season will make the 10th straight season of not having a winning record.

Mismanagement of a franchise.

Lol, don't worry about my Sixers. I see us dominating the East with our young prospect in the foreseeable future: Embiid, top 5 pick this year, Heat pick, Noel, Dario, MCW, Wroten, Cov, KJ. :rockon:

[hateraid]

Lol, and they've made the playoffs 6 Times plus another winning record 04-05

What's the term GoBB has on you that all the kids are using? Rent free?

[Legends66NBA7]

I think it's the Timberwolves who have the current record and it's 9 straight. Will have a losing season this year too to make it 10 straight.

The thread hasn't even begun yet and now it has to close.:lol

The 76ers are one of the proudest franchises' in the NBA. We have been to more NBA Finals than any other team, save for the Lakers and Celtics. We have produced some of the greatest players ever and an all time 76er team will compete with any best ever from other teams when you're talking Wilt, Sir Charles, AI, Dr.J, and others.

Currently, we are only on our 2nd year of rebuilding, and the future is looking bright with Embiid, Noel, MCW, Saric, Wrotten, Mcdaniel, and 2 more 1st round picks this year, and tons of cap space.

34-48 isn't tanking?

[Dr.J4ever]

34-48 isn't tanking?

Absolutely not.

It's called bad luck and incompetence. That was the Andrew Bynum year and his attempts at a bowling career. 76ers management was not yet under Sam Hinkie who started our current course at player development/asset acquisition just last season.

We will exit tanking after this year and head into next season very competitively with Embiid and 2 more 1st round picks(one lottery). It's actually looking good.

Hawkfan has been the laughing stock of ish since he joined from all the bullshit trade ideas to the outrageous posts hes made over the years. Your hawks haven't even brought 1 championship to Atlanta. They finally have a decent team and now he's talking shit like they the spurs
Here are some quick wiki facts

The Hawks currently own the second-longest run (behind the*Sacramento Kings) of not winning an NBA title at 56 years. All the franchise's NBA Finals appearances and lone NBA championship took place when the team resided in St. Louis. Meanwhile, since the elimination of first-round byes in 1967, they have not advanced beyond the second round in any playoff format. Much of the failure they've experienced in the postseason can be traced back to their poor history in the*NBA draft. Since 1980, the Hawks have drafted only three players who have been chosen to play in an All-Star game (Doc Rivers,*Kevin Willis, and*Al Horford;*Dominique Wilkins*was actually selected by the*Utah Jazz*and traded to the Hawks a few months after the draft). Horford is the only All-Star Hawk to have been drafted since Willis was selected in 1984, and is also the only first-rounder the Hawks selected in their nine-year playoff drought to play in an*NBA All-Star Game.

You will not be competitive. A ton of kids, with no leadership, no accountability, and who only know how to lose. That will be incredibly hard to shake, just ask K-Love and Kyrie, and the 6ers don't have anyone half as good as them.

No leadership?

Brett Brown is our coach who comes from the Spurs system and was the player development guy there. Did you see the celebration by 76er players last night after MCW scooped a lay up under the outstretched arms of Roy Hibbert to give the Sixers a 1 point win? They are a tight nit group despite all their losing.

They are starting to learn and they play tough defense. They play hard and that can be credited to the leadership of the team.

I don't really put too much stock in losing habits and stuff. Just ask KD when he was in Seattle. They were tanking then too. And then they got Westbrook and Harden and all the losing habits were gone

[hawkfan]

:roll:

One winning season out of 10.
Good work.

[Eric Cartman]

hawkfan's brain, where stupid happens.

Discuss.

[Dr.J4ever]

One winning season out of 10.
Good work.

Past 76er management aimed for mediocrity and they got it. You can't lump the last 10 years into these last 1.5 years since management is different.

What we are doing now is precisely to change the course we were on the last 10 years or so.

You had the number 2 pick in the draft one year and picked Turner over Cousins, George, Favors, Monroe.

Oops.

You'd think someone would do a tiny bit of research before making this thread. Not the OP.

Marvin Williams. :roll:

We can go tit for tat my man!

Yep, that cost us a championship, no doubt.

Ditto with the Evan Turner mention. :confusedshrug:

No one believes in a coach who is a perpetual loser. And you don't know shit about their inner social workings.

Minnesota was not tanking, KG went to the playoffs 8 times, including a WCF, and was a perennial all star and DMVP candidate.

That was probably the worst analogy you could come up with.

KD Seattle, not KG Minnesota


to the topic, 76ers will get it on track.. there's obviously been some bad luck and bad decision making the last few years but meh... they seem to want to build a wining team it's just not as easy as it once was to turn a franchise around and one or two bad contracts or injuries can take 3 or 4 years to undo

He brought up the Thunder and Durant, not the Wolves and KG.

the problem is that KD WAS young. So it WAS easy to pair him with players who were young and being drafted.

once he's been in the league a few years, you are really then facing having to pair him up with players that are of the same class, or veterans.


unless you've given up on him as your clear number 1 option.

The sixers streak is not as bad as this:


2007-08 NBA Atlanta Hawks* 37-45 .451
2006-07 NBA Atlanta Hawks 30-52 .366
2005-06 NBA Atlanta Hawks 26-56 .317
2004-05 NBA Atlanta Hawks 13-69 .159
2003-04 NBA Atlanta Hawks 28-54 .341
2002-03 NBA Atlanta Hawks 35-47 .427
2001-02 NBA Atlanta Hawks 33-49 .402
2000-01 NBA Atlanta Hawks 25-57 .305
1999-00 NBA Atlanta Hawks 28-54 .341

A dark era.
But both Jason Terry and Boris Diaw went on to win championships, and Terry Stotts is doing well in Portland coaching.
We drafted Pau Gasol and traded him away.
We didn't draft Tony Parker.

[artificial]

Yes, the 76ers haven't been contenders for a while. Did the news just hit you? Or what is the point you were trying to make?

The 6ers had bad management for a while. A mediocre franchise that was stuck in being borderline playoffs / 1st round exit. Management has changed, and now we are placing our bets in blowing the house and rebuilding. So far most of the fans keep faith in that bet.

But we all know that. So again, besides being wrong in your thread title, your point was?

you living in the past man every team has superstars now retired why list em like they gonna come save your team, no way Embiid pans out or half of those other prospects only one i like is Carter Williams who you didn't list :biggums:

Lmao he clearly listed MCW. Are abbreviations to hard for you to understand? MCW rookie of the year and Noel and McDaniels both in the top 5 rookie race this year so your whole post is irelevant

[AI09]

Not to mention Embiid next year will be in the running for rookie of the year so will our lottery pick in the 2015 draft. Dario Saric has been beasting the euro league too

[Shih508]

Some ppl think AI is a career loser, but when I look at what Sixers has accomplished in past 25 years, only AI could have kept them relevant while he was there. The franchise is a joke

Yeah because losing in the ECSF in 7 games to that Boston team a couple years ago is a joke. What makes things even funnier for me is the sixers get more publicity tanking than the Hawks get as a top team.

[kurple]

but they got rid of the canswer
