I have tried, and tried, and tried to stop you from making an idiot of yourself. It’s futile.
Yeah, Sauce. It is getting pretty old. You're a grown man.
This season is cooked. This roster is a mess. There are people spamming about Ishbia selling our fantasy picks all over the board. At least I'm having fun with it. There is hope. He is hope. If you don't like the optimism, you can easily click ignore. Name calling ain't it.
Fair enough. But saying "making an idiot out of yourself" isn't name calling. Some of the stuff is a bit embarrassing that you're saying. And yes, this season sucks so it's nice to try to have fun with it.
I’m tempted to list some of the players taken with “fantasy picks” in recent years, and fantasy picks we have traded away in the past, but it’s a hopeless cause.
I can post receipts of you coming at me nonstop ever since I told you I don't care about your cba proposal when you kept bumping the thread asking why nobody responded. It was just giving you an honest thought when nobody else did. Trade proposals and a fucking contract of how the league pay will be structured are wayyyy different things. Chill bro I'll read it in full man I'm so sorry

Moving Brad and Nurk to the bench had to be done. Time to signal to Beal, this isn’t working( waive the NTC, buddy) and Nurk because he’s dog shit.
This again. The way to make someone better is simply to let them know how shitty they’ve been.
Hes sucks tho. Hes washed and there’s nothing we can do.
OK, just pointing out that “signaling” them isn’t going to make them less sucky or washed, or more appealing in a trade.

Makes me feel better. I’ve seen enough, Oso needs to main back up big. Brad as super 6th man might save the season. Use Grayson or JO to get a proper center. Let’s cook again.

Watch us cough up the lead in the last 5 minutes by going to Durant all the time instead of sticking with what was working

Gonna need to see more but Beal as super sixth man, going full Lou Williams maxxxed out, might fuck up the Himmothy agenda.

I’ve seen enough. It’s time to live and die with Oso as back up C. Idgaf. Use Plumlee and Nurk like how we used Jason Collins in 2010, until we trade for a proper center.

Dominant win tonight. Turning point incoming. Love the youth movement.

Not getting my hopes up, been burned before. 2nd half was good for the most part but the Sixers are just as big a mess. Dunn and Oso need their minutes.

Not buying it. It's been two years of showing a glimmer of change only to fall back on old habits. You know what it is. This team needs a major shakeup. Trade 1,2 or all 3 of them. Get some hustle and toughness in here. What I have seen from Book this season is really worrisome , dude ain't right mentally or physically

Tuned in for the final 15 minutes…thought we looked great! I saw like 2 minutes of Nurk and I don’t think Tyus even played while I watched…did he get hurt? Team seemed to be having fun. Grayson barely played too. Loved Dunn and Oso. What the hell is wrong with Booker though? He can’t make anything.

Strong finish to the game with some major caveats:
-it’s one game
-the Sixers are really bad (and undermanned)
-we could have been down double figures at half time

I’d like to see it more often and against decent opposition before getting my hopes up too much. But it was nice to see them play like a team in the second half.

You have a problem with 18.8%/20.0%/50.0% shooting splits?

Hey, at least he had a double-double!
