Yet their fans seem to act like We Solved Basketball.

love seeing deadspin call teams out for not purposely losing games, you know, after they skewered the Sixers for 3 seasons because they had the balls to just tell everyone what they were doing, rather than sugar coat it with “X player has an injury, so we sat him after 10 minutes of play”

Deadspin: “LOL Sixers are tanking; here are 10 million spurious reasons why that’s a bad idea”

the 76ers have won a playoff series more recently than the Mavericks. Your analogy was almost close to accurate

But hey that Sam Hinkie guy was such an idiot for trading for draft picks

“I don’t believe in it,” Walton said. “I believe in trying to play the right way and have a culture that you’re gonna try to win no matter what. You start losing on purpose, I think the basketball gods come back to get you in the long run. Good things aren’t gonna work out for you. We try to do things the right way…

So...you realize that the Bucks are a lot closer to being the 76ers than they are to being an actual competitive playoff team, right? Like...its nice that theyre technically “in the playoffs” and all, but that doesnt mean you get to just check the internet comments-section superiority box...youre still a Bucks fan,…

Yes, he missed the Okafor pick, but he crushed the Richaun Holmes pick in the same draft. He wasn’t bad at drafting; he was bad at appeasing media hacks like Burneko, who think they’re entitled to every NBA team winning at least 20 games every year

Indeed.

How quickly did your fan base go from winning a WS to talking about how painful it is to be a White Sox fan?

“This game would be a lot more fun with teammates”

Que all the people who can’t accept reality and their inevitable “This doesn’t mean Tiger is done for good and can’t ever win another major or two. If any 41 year old who hasn’t won a major in 9 years, has suffered a series of increasingly debilitating injuries, including a catastrophic back injury that has basically…

This is just stupid at this point. Nothing Sam Hinkie has ever said or done has given the impression that he thinks that tanking is the answer to every problem, or that he values draft picks above all else. And the Kings’ roster and situation is radically different from the situation that Hinkie faced when he took…

Deadspin’s continued hate for Sam Hinkie is one of the weirdest things. I’m a Bulls fan and I would trade the Bulls roster for the Hinkie-built Sixers one in a heartbeat. I think most other fans of mediocre-to-bad teams would say the same.

Bold move to continue to shit on Hinkie after how well the “Robert Covington was signed to help Sixers lose” take has aged.

Love how you guys act like The Process didn’t pay off. Saric is really damn good. With the exception of some injuries Embiid has the potential to rock the league. Next year they add Ben Simmons and they have that great draft swap with Sacramento. Yeah it hurt, but trust the process.

Ridley, mostly white, blue collar neighborhoods down near the airport. CB West, upper middle class, affluent neighborhoods in Bucks County. Rich kids taking it to the poor kids on the scoreboard. Poor kids lash out and use foul language. Get harsh penalties.

I think the most intriguing thing in all this is that there’s a Yacht Club in Lawrence, Kansas...

Unfortunately that would mean admitting that this ass-clown is there because of their meddling in the first place. Not likely.

Nice job by Colangelo, hiding the injury and rushing Embiid back to play in the national TV game.
