I don’t think anyone gives GMs of bad teams a pass! They get fired, you know? They have to accept the losing as them failing at their jobs. I think what troubles those critical of Hinkie is that he got a lot of otherwise reasonable fans to evaluate his performance according to a completely unfalsifiable belief in his…

Slow your roll, jesushorse. No one should have to repent for anything written, at least until the Sixers are actually good. Remember, The Process was supposed to be about positioning the Sixers to win championships. Let’s at least wait for them to be actually good before we start doing any touchdown dances, you know?

Well, this isn’t meant as a knock against Marcus Smart, but I think we can probably close the book on him coming close to star-level production, where I think it’s probably too early to say that about Jaylen Brown. You wouldn’t know it from watching his rookie year in Boston, but he was a really slick off-the-bounce…

Maybe theCeltics can pick up a PG with their second pick in the draft. Someone that could get minimal minutes the first year and learn from IT. Like Frank Mason from Kansas. They could grab Mason and Jackson and that would be interesting. Probably even trade back with their second pick and still grab Mason

Awful lot of talking going on after what was literally the least special championship run in history.

I feel embarrassed for ever being excited for that show. “The Rock, starring in a show about the excesses of superstar athletes? What could go wrong!”
Answer: literally everything.

Since it doesn’t seem to be the hardest thing in the world to find someone’s secret Twitter account, it seems like it would be more effective to hide in plain sight and just start a parody account of yourself. Nobody would guess @thatidiotadamsilver is actually Adam Silver.

Paul is 32. Curry is 29. They gotta be born on the same day or something?

Paul is probably the best point guard of his generation, yet he’s never even made the conference finals.

LaMarcus Aldridge is super-excited to get to watch another point guard dribble around and around and around. At least this time around LMA will get yelled at a lot, too.

In the same vein, Andre Miller was already old in college.

I miss watching Old Andre Miller back down and score on some young jamokes in the post.

Sure. One of them is the most extraordinary athletic specimen in the history of the sport, and the other is a slightly dumpy point guard who never had all that much athleticism to begin with, even before he spent multiple seasons playing out of shape. Deron Williams is old, man.

Remember when Deron Williams got Jerry Sloan to quit and then disappeared into obscurity shortly after that?

Yes.

Yes, a team that has made a conference finals and won the number 1 seed has a brighter future than a team that remains in the basement of the league.

You mean besides having the #1 pick in the draft?

I don’t think you understand how painful it is to be a sober-minded Sixers fan. The delusional ones prove that ignorance is bliss.

I would have sworn the total point stat wouldn’t scan across generations since LBJ has so many more games but he passed Jordan with 100+ fewer shots, which, damn, doesn’t seem like a huge thing but is also seriously badass.
