Playing for the 2015-16 76ers didn’t harm the development of Robert Covington and TJ McConnell. Maybe that’s because, unlike Okafor, they’re not bad at basketball.

“I don’t know! I might be able to talk myself into Griffin, Beverley, and DeAndre Jordan forming the core of a feisty, fringe playoff team.”

Hinkie lives inside the brains of this website’s staff, yet somehow it’s Sixers fans who have Stockholm Syndrome.

And this is the valid criticism of the Process: that Hinkie sucked at drafting. If that was Deadspin’s argument it probably wouldn’t get much pushback. That isn’t, however, the criticism that Deadspin likes to push. Deadspin’s argument is that strategic losing is inherently a con hatched in the buzzword-addled Silicon…

“The Sixers could become, in other words, exactly the kind of basketball team that Hinkie and his Process cultists viewed with contempt—a team with no plausible chance of contending for a championship in anything close to the near term, but one capable of game-to-game feistiness.”

One of the most common insults against Hinkie was that he was “extending his job security” by trading for future assets. That was by far the dumbest criticism of the Process.

The Lakers aren’t going to be tanking?

you’re just the worst, gavin. booing the cowboys is a mitzvah for the world.

I think Joel in the trailer was a figment of her imagination and this whole scene was her going to avenge his death, the game being just Ellie with some flashbacks of their relationship between the games.

Burneko thought Embiid and Saric would never play an NBA game so maybe he’s not the most prescient judge here.

I’d say the reaction to a joke that was kinda clever, kinda meh, very harmless is perhaps a reason why Democrats lost the election.

The Lakers give Nick Young, Timo Mozgov, and Lou Williams minutes. They are not cool and young. They are middle-aged and bogus.

What I think is complicated, I admit, and not entirely clear even to me.

This brings a smile to my face. I imagine it makes Bryan as annoyed as I was when he and Harris kept insisting he didn’t get the job because of his dad.

Dude has spent most of those two years on an operating table or walking around in a cast or boot. It’s up to you but you should consider cutting the kid some slack.

Sometimes little things in life bring unexplained albeit proportionally tiny bits of joy. Like knowing (a college acquaintance works for the Sixers front office) just how much Bryan Colangelo hates it when Joel Embied proudly refers to himself, and further is now introduced in-stadium(!)  as ‘The Process.’

Didnt you just answer your own question?

nah

Are you saying that the US President is an “unaccountable emperor?” Because really? The Prime Minister in any parliamentary system has more power than the US President. Let alone, you know, North Korea.
