The curse of T-Mac.

Oh poor T Mac what an overrated arse m8

Never been out of the first round once but demands respect like hes a hall of fame superstar :facepalm

All Simmons needs to do is play well and get his team to the second round and he surpasses Mac all time

Regular season warriors :lol

[9erempiree]

Ingram going to be rookie of the year.

[9erempiree]

Jeff was wondering if it had anything to do with it.

I haven't been following much basketball in the off season so did he bulk up or what?

[AirBonner]

Ingram going to be bust of the year.
Agree

[Warriorsfan86]

I hate when shit like this happens :(

[Warriorsfan86]

I heard he gained 25 lbs or some shit like that.

[Meticode]

God damn, the Sixers just can't catch a break. Embiid is out 2 years, finally looks like he's coming back, then the Sixers #1 pick this year breaks his foot. :facepalm

[AirBonner]

God damn, the Sixers just can't catch a break. Embiid is out 2 years, finally looks like he's coming back, then the Sixers #1 pick this year breaks his foot. :facepalm
Honestly you can't feel bad. This is karma for purposely tanking all those years.

[BigKAT]

Honestly you can't feel bad. This is karma for purposely tanking all those years.

Might just be.

Still, it really sucks to see it happening. It's not those player's fault that their Organization started this shit storm.

I actually feel really bad for most players who were drafted for them. Sure, they are making millions of dollars and what not, but you can't help but feel that this Sixers team is deterimental for their careers.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Dude probably trains 10-12 plus hours a day. His foot just gave out

[FreezingTsmoove]

This board has gone to shit today. Karma? You shouldnt feel bad? 76ers deserve to have this happen to them?

Do you clowns ever think for one second about the players themselves?

[raprap]

How long will he be out? Can't open the link atm

[alec613]

Ingram going to be rookie of the year.

Spelled Embiid wrong

[AirBonner]

This board has gone to shit today. Karma? You shouldnt feel bad? 76ers deserve to have this happen to them?

It does suck for the players. But how can you feel bad for the organization? Were 76er games exciting these past couple years knowing they were going to lose every game? This is what happens when you put out a shitty product for so long.

[Nash]

God damn, the Sixers just can't catch a break. Embiid is out 2 years, finally looks like he's coming back, then the Sixers #1 pick this year breaks his foot. :facepalm
wasn't nerlens noel also out his first season with an injury?

:biggums:

[BigKAT]

wasn't nerlens noel also out his first season with an injury?

:biggums:

And Dario Saric choose to stay a season overseas.
And Andrew Bynum got injured the moment the got him.
And Jru Holiday also got injured real bad.

Really the Sixers are experiencing lots of bad luck lately. Even before the Tanking fiesta.

[fourkicks44]

F#ck my life

Of all the f#ckin injuries too.

I'm out, seriously f#ck this shit.

[Naero]

Horrible news to hear for the number-one pick. Because of how straining a big-man's hefty center of gravity can be on the foot and how far away the foot is from the heart, foot injuries are one of the hardest injuries to recover from; for that reason, I wouldn't be surprised if yet another 76ers rookie is sidelined for the season.

I feel bad for Simmons, but that's only on an individual level; how I feel on an organizational level is a different story, and I'm going to be candid; it's hard for many of us to feel bad for the hit the 76ers organization itself will take knowing how they reaped this number-one pick to begin with.

It's hard to feel good for a team that artificially tanks in order to stockpile high-end draft picks to begin with, especially to those of us who are fans of rebuilding-mode teams that organically ended up in the lottery only to get the shorter end of the stick partly due to the out-drafting 76ers; therefore, is it really much of a surprise that we're unsympathetic to the team itself when such setbacks happen?

[Wavves]

That really sucks. The 76ers were looking like they were going to have a pretty positive season this year too even if they still lose a lot of games, which they will.

Hopefully he isn't out for the year and it's just a minor setback.

[CuterThanRubio]

Injuries suck and I hope he recovers quickly but don't forget who was one of the first people calling this guy a bust.

LeBron's durability will never be matched, the comparisons can end now!

[Milbuck]

Sucks, but do we know the details yet? If it's just an avulsion fraction he should be good in a couple months or so with good treatment, if it's a Jones fracture it's a whole different beast. Gotta hope it's the former.

[Achilleas]

Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons have the potential to the best two man combination in Philadelphia hospital system history.
:(

[MrFonzworth]

He'll be 100% by no later than mid-season lol chill not like they're aiming for the playoffs anyway

[HylianNightmare]

2017 draft

[BigKAT]

Sucks, but do we know the details yet? If it's just an avulsion fraction he should be good in a couple months or so with good treatment, if it's a Jones fracture it's a whole different beast. Gotta hope it's the former.

Yeah, but are you going to spring him comes February assuming the Playoffs aren't an option?

[bigt]

Wow Sixers fans can't catch a break. Shame their players can...

[JtotheIzzo]

Oh poor T Mac what an overrated arse m8

Never been out of the first round once but demands respect like hes a hall of fame superstar :facepalm

All Simmons needs to do is play well and get his team to the second round and he surpasses Mac all time

Regular season warriors :lol

TMac played in a final

[tourettes3]

Was looking forward to seeing him in action, but will have to wait a little bit longer now

[StephHamann]

Karma for that tanking bullshit

[DCL]

so much shit for one franchise

[retaxis]

See Cavs? This is how you make a big move.

[Lebron23]

Sixers are curse. I really feel bad for Ben Simmons.

[SamuraiSWISH]

TMac played in a final
As 11th man Tracy McGrady

Not superstar T-Mac

[FireDavidKahn]

Simmons is a f'ing retard if he really gained 33 pounds in 6 months due to a "strength regime":roll:

[Sarcastic]

See Cavs? This is how you make a big move.


+1

[The_Yearning]

Simmons is a f'ing retard if he really gained 33 pounds in 6 months due to a "strength regime":roll:

Probably took something

[G-train]

Ingram going to be rookie of the year.

Was going to be anyway.

[G-train]

Dude probably trains 10-12 plus hours a day. His foot just gave out

:lol

Maybe 1-2 hours.

[Annyong!]

Thanks Phili :facepalm

[beastee]

Really unfortunate for them. At this point, what would be the reason for actually paying to support this team? They keep saying trust the process, but everything that could go wrong has.

Embiid better be a stud, or its another 2-3 years of agony for their fans.

[avonbarksdale]

:lol

Maybe 1-2 hours.

a normal fit person works out 1-2 hours a day

this is a pro athlete you idiot
