Is Hinkie employing the same strategy as the owner from Major League? Does he just want to move the team to...[checks Hinkie wiki]...the Netherlands?

What if I told you...

the 76ers hate around here is exhausting. I could come around and explain, again, how so many of the 6ers young players have developed over the course of the season. I could explain how you neglected to mention that for jrue, the sixers got Noel, saric, and a 2017 first round pick, and how the sixers got grant and kj…

The lack of basketball knowledge is strong with this one. Good God man. No mention of some of Hinkie's best moves. Didn't even mention Dario Saric. KJ and Grant were 2nd round steals, plenty of teams passed up on them. Robert Covington was found in the D-League. He robbed the Magic by trading them Elfrid Payton for…

What exactly is the thesis here? It's hard find one in this mess, but I gather it's that you don't like Hinkie because he's a geek who won't give the media quotes and the Sixers haven't become a contender in the two weeks since Deadspin posted its last tired "The Sixers suck because they're run by nerds!" piece.

How is having information a bad thing? Having access to as much information as possible does not mean it all needs to be used, and there is no downside to collecting it.

There's a huge misconception about the proper application of analytics. Barkley and many old time players have hammered the point that advanced stats don't win you championships, great players do. Duh. Most supporters of analytics agree: it's a tool, not THE tool. From a player stat angle, everybody can see that…

The Sixers, I believe, will ultimately follow the Hawks path; the Hawks are following the Spurs. But you have to vomit out the booze to even get to the hangover. And the current CBA makes you eat more vomit if you want to get rid of vomit.

"The only time you're allowed to slide your bet in piecemeal is when you've said out loud how much you're going to bet or raise."

Yes, thank you. I highly recommend people do this. One of the more annoying things at the table, even among people who know most etiquette listed here, is when someone is going to make a bet…

As a Niners fan, don't know if it's good but it has a chance to be really bad. The whole coaching search was a sham. They wanted a yes man, someone who wouldn't rock the bots as Harbaugh did. The guy didn't even fucking interview for the job.

well not really, if you want to look into the situation, a number of players transferred and a player was kicked out before playing 1 minute, which ruined the APR score and caused uconn to be docked a few scholarships for I believe 2 seasons. Then, the NCAA made harsher penalties suddenly, and uconns average score…
