Man I miss having Nico Batum

I didn’t miss the Sixers missing the playoffs at all, until I just heard the crowd in this Denver game.

I absolutely loved the way the Clippers built their team this summer. Was almost the opposite of what the Sixers did. They even managed their star’s health the opposite way of the Sixers.

Happy Gotcha Day to my dude, Zeus

Fucking President is dismantling the DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, and everyone is too busy watching March Madness to pay attention. We truly live in the dumbest country.

Here’s the real issue - it’s not just that they “can’t be bothered”. Most working Americans do not even have time to be bothered. BOTH parents are working, full time, sometimes 2 jobs, just to keep life moving. And that’s how the upper class wants it.

Had a company Town Hall today which ended with a 30 minute conversation explaining why the company is an ardent believer and supporter of DEI, which should be common sense but unfortunately is not due to the current climate.

Man that’s such an enormous loss to get

Andre Drummond is a human tank effort.

What these teams (TOR, UTAH, etc) are doing is so so so much worse than anything Sam Hinkie ever did. Blatantly tanking games by sitting healthy players is way worse for the integrity of the league than fielding a bad roster that plays hard and loses.

😱😱😱

I will listen to a lot of (valid) criticism of Daryl Morey, but I will not do it with the Embiid extension. Unless you have info that his knee is completely toast, you pay your franchise player. The end. It’s not even a decision. That’s how it works.

I would’ve given anything to not have to seen Drummond play basketball anymore

Rooting for Canada and don’t even feel badly about it

This is going to sound harsh, but I’m looking at drafting another potential center and not extending until I’m sure that back is holding up.

2 seasons into Industry, nothing got me more in than Jesse Bloom listening to Liquid Swords at full volume on a giant speaker system

….. why

The dark truth everyone's circling around is that it doesn't seem like the People care very much about democracy or the Constitution or the rule of law and it's extremely hard to see how anything good happens as long as that's true

This is Severance for me, at the moment. Every week people rave about it like it’s ground breaking TV, and I wonder if I’m watching the same show, or have just become too dumb to get such profound TV.

i'm whatever on the format but the nba overreacting to the all-star game being perceived as a huge problem by having like 30 minutes of basketball over three hours is the most nba thing imaginable

IMO the best thing they could do with All-Star weekend is just remove all the nonsense. No more performances, no more between-event interviews, no more Kevin Hart, no more intros that take 20 minutes. Let the shooters shoot, let the dunkers dunk, and then play a basketball game.

That’s all well and good but the games’ actual STARS have not been treating Sunday as if it is “sacred” for years, which is how we got here. The young guys came in, played hard, and acted like they wanted to be there at least.

I’m a straight white male with, by any reasonable standard, talent. I’ve never - not once - been blocked from something I thought I earned by anything other than mediocre-at-best straight white males. The notion that “we” are somehow oppressed is in equal parts infuriating, infantilizing & offensive

Ok, a season and a half in now, I feel comfortable saying this - Severance is a show pretending to be good simply by not giving you anything. It sucks.

No idea how Embiid ends up on Gary Trent on consecutive possessions but his complete refusal to defend on the perimeter meant that went as you would expect.

Not sure he’s going to help the rebounding issues.

Green pancakes 2 weeks ago, green pancakes this week.

I have a theory - I think if Maxey & the young guys had fallen apart over that 2 week stretch, Embiid would’ve been shut down & had the surgery. But they realized they weren’t going to be able to tank anyway, saw some potential in the play, and so he wanted to give it a shot.

Lillard is cooking Grimes

Embarrassing stuff to give up both the long pass and then the basket there to end the quarter

The Sixers have got to get off that Paul George contract at the very least in the offseason. Embiid situation is what it is.

Can we maybe not do Hubie Brown interviews in the middle of game play?

Embiid looks like a completely different player today and that only aggravates me more about Friday night.

Eagles not posting their hype video here stinks.

Lol at the way this is presented - “3 time All Star”.

Pandora throws “Eye of the Tiger” at me to start the morning?? Oh yeahhh Go Birdddsssss

This video cassette is definitely somewhere in the basement of my parents house.

So from what I can tell, Embiid did no media last night either?

Absolute perfection of a game recap. No one sums up my disdain and wrath better than Kyle.

Mike is going to single handedly going to keep me on BlueSky the rest of the season.

Basically been shooting practice shots

Grimes looks like he can play

I’m fairly certain that Tobias Harris has more offensive rebounds in this game than he had in his five year Sixers career.

Not sure what sparked this but one of the biggest issues with Embiid checking out for entire halves is you then don’t have the clout to hold other guys accountable at all.

waiting to start trying until they're down 300 so they can lose by a respectable 8 -- if the Sixers shot me in the head it would be better for my health

Joel going to spend the next 12 minutes making sure he still gets his 25 or so.

I just cannot take these no effort awful body language games from Embiid anymore. Not when you’re no longer healthy enough to be the GUY 99% of the time to make up for it.

Just yank Joel and leave him on the bench, man. He shouldn’t even have gotten on the plane.

There is absolutely zero reason for either Lowry or Gordon to be on the floor let alone both at the same time. What are we doing. Just play the young guys who give you some athleticism.

Most fun the Sixers were all year was the last two weeks Embiid and Paul George were out because at least the young guys played hard.
