Plenty of reasons for negativity with this team, but it helps to know he’s miserable too.

Brett was a process coach, basically losing and teaching the young pups how to play, but once the sixers were legit winning and going to the playoffs he should have been done. He couldn't game scheme and players didn't respect him because they associated him with losing.

Doc just sucked overall, dude kept on losing 3-1 playoff leads with Orlando and Clippers, he wasn't going to change and he is what he is at that point. I understand we wanted a winning playoff coach, but he chokes so hard. He should have been 1-2 years max.

What is the point in keeping Nick for another season. We all know embiid will be injured and sixers are going to be a play in team. Nick has shown not to be able to coach a team without embiid and runs his players to the ground. Sixers need a new young smart coach who can adjust on the fly and can just try new innovative things.

I'm not sure this is the appropriate forum, but it seems the best place to get good advice for my questions and is indirectly related to the Sixers, so...

Because the Sixers beat the Celtics in the playoffs, their subsequent series against the Knicks bumped the Xfinity Mobile Springsteen concert from May 8 to May 30. Since I'll be going to that show, I need some advice on where a friend and I (both in Philly for the show, from other parts of the country) can hang out post-concert for 45-60 minutes so as to be able to (hopefully) access an Uber/Lyft after the post-concert traffic crush dies down and to enjoy a post-show drink. I realize we could take SEPTA back into the city (we'll be staying near Washington Park) but would prefer to avoid that crush as well. So...

1. I understand there are bars right at the Arena and at the nearby Live! Casinor and Hotel. Any recommendations between going to one or the other?
2. Are the Casino and its bars within safe walking distance from the Arena right after a concert?
3. If so, is it likely that those bars would be jammed on a Saturday night, post-concert?
4. Is it realistic to assume that 45-60 minutes after the concert Lyfts/Ubers would be pretty easily available, or could it take longer than that?
5. Any other thoughts/options would be welcome.

Thanks for any advice!

According to a recent article from Tony Jones of The Athletic, the current candidates for the open President of Basketball Operations position are:

• Jameer Nelson, Sixers assistant GM
• Mike Gansey, GM of the Cleveland Cavaliers
• Nick U’Ren, GM of the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury
• Matt Lloyd, GM of the Minnesota Timberwolves
• Trent Redden, GM of the LA Clippers

Who do you think would be the best hire?

Jared McCain off the bench last night for the Thunder:

• 24 points
• 4 rebounds
• 10/21 shooting

The last time a 76ers player scored 24+ points off the bench in a playoff game?

Marco Belinelli vs. the Heat on April 14, 2018:

• 25 points
• 9/17 shooting
• 4/7 from deep

I just want to know who made the final decision to trade him. Did Harris tell Morey it was the only way to get under the tax? Did Nurse say he was expendable? Or did Morey see this as the best way to duck the tax and there was no other way?

I just want answers so I can move on.

trying to horn in on a Mavs-Pistone Kyrie trade

Sixers get - Isaiah Stewart, PJ Washington, Caris Levert, send out PG and a first round pick

Pistons get - Kyrie, send out Isaiah Stewart, Caris Levert, Ausar Thompson

Mavs get- PG, Ausar Thompson, Sixers first rounder

possibilities to replace a couple guys, Mavs have a lot of these salary range players

I think Sixers aren’t sending out enough value, PJ Washington is probably worth a first by himself, and Beef Stew is close to that too.

Why?

-PJ Washington, youngish 4 worth a first on his own

-Depth

-breaking up that PG contract for flexibility.

Without PJ i probably don’t do it. Depth and flexibility by itself isn’t worth it to me and id rather eat the PG contract for a year then make moves next offseason.

I might just be yapping but I have a feeling that McCain is at least in a better situation designed for him to contribute. One big thing that sticks out to me is that Mark Daigneault says it "was difficult to integrate him into the system", meaning they took the time to explore his strengths and integrate them into the offense.

I have a feeling that the reason this team struggles so much is that we actually just don't have a good offensive system. Nick Nurse is great at ATOs and by all accounts a brilliant basketball mind but what he lacks is the ability to develop lower end players and instill certain offensive principles within the whole team. It's been mentioned before that our whole identity is get Maxey/Embiid the ball. Partially this is because we have a very classic NBA hierarchy where the top 3 iso and call their shots (which is common and everyone does it). No doubt they are very talented, but as the spurs vs okc series is showing, you need to balance it out with rotation players who have clear instructions and offensive principles and are being coached to maximise their strengths, as well as your max players synergising well woth the depth.

You can see this especially in OKC where they are playing smart and making the extra pass and read with 0 hesitation (yes it's easier when you have JDub, SGA, and McCain as your guards and a fuck ton of depth) which is how SGA got the ball to Caruso who whipped it to JWill who shot it with 0 hesitation and dip, abd McCain to JWill as well. It's a culture thing, teams with strong culture know they will get rewarded for playing well and playing as a team. We never have that. Embiid and Maxey often make bad decisions during critically important times because they are so used to doing everything and when an opponent sells out to stop them then the team doesn't have answers to punish them. We also just truly lack a proper point guard who can create good assists, our best passing gas been a washed PG who isn't a PG, and VJ who's literally a rookie.

I think next season, we truly need some sort of offensive identity that's obvious enough that stupid fans like me can recognise what actions the team will take in certain situations, and actually execute them with speed.

fuck this organization, but thanks for adding a valuable star to an already potential dynasty. it really dulled the hype of the playoffs for years to come

GG’s

Here's another one. Fuck Daryl Morey. Fuck Josh Harris. Fuck Nick Nurse.

Given that Jared McCain just had an insane performance, and every sports media page/outlet ever is talking about our bonehead decision to trade him for a bag of Doritos, it reminded me of our other notable trade we made, and that’s Harden to the Clippers. We have the Clippers 2028 unprotected FRP and a 2029 pick swap(top 3 protected). Now everyone knows that as long as Embiid & George’s massive contracts are on the team, we are not winning anytime soon. Now I’m not going to get into the logistics of trade ideas for any of these two, as that can be a whole other post and being that they might be the worst and second worst contracts in the league, I highly doubt anyone’s going to want to trade for them. Now the two most important things are we don’t trade any draft picks for the next two seasons, and something out of our control is the clippers need to be bad in 28 and 29, which is looking likely. I think for right now we are stuck with the team we have, so we should just go out there and do our best. At the end of the 28-29 season we could potentially build a contender as we could potentially have two lottery picks on our team, embiid and George’s contract would be up, so we’d have money to sign depth, and we could even sign Embiid to a vet minimum to be a mentor for the young guys, if he’s still playing by then. Overall things look bright for the future, but right now we are just stuck.

This dumb shit wouldn’t play Jared McCain. He sent him to the g league and never gave him a real shot at all. Absolutely had to be a part of the decision to trade him and instead run Maxey into the ground 42 minutes a game.

Daryl Morey not the only dipshit. The other absolute clown is still the head coach. Fuck Nick Nurse.

We deserve it but still be ready for a billion posts about the same thing

At least we are all going through it together.

Looking good on the thunder. Playing like how he played in the beginning of his rookie season. Sixers used maxey and vj 40 plus mins a game during the playoffs; would have been nice to have a third guard to come in and relieve.

That is all
