Man...I bet....they had to keep that pick (slim chance that lose it) with how their season went and no flexibility to add FA's this summer....

Thoughts, @fightinfunbags?
For the sake of mental health I’m checked out on all things Sixers. Tobias Harris isn’t a bad player. What was bad was him being a max player with the Sixers and the impact that had on cap and being able to trade him.

Maybe PG bounces back next season. In fairness, in LA he was healthier than The Klaw.

Maybe he dedicates himself to returning next season in peak condition.

Everything went wrong for them this year. Hoping that opposite is true next year.

Sixers didn’t make the playoffs though so they have no right hijacking this thread haha. I’m out. Good luck to everybody rooting for teams that don’t suck dick.

You got a super bowl brother, not a bad trade off.

And despite losing the last game a hell of an ND run as well. I definitely am not getting cheated in the sports realm (except for winter sports - Sixers, Flyers bad and alma mater St Joes hasn’t made tourney since Martelli left).

All I am going to say…

I better not see you complain about the team’s effort after you hire that coach and the defense gets worse.

This is what you have been asking for.
As long as they score more pts then their opponents, who gives a hoot how many pts they give up….

The NBA way!!!

Thibs will NEVER get his team to the big one or a real contender bc of the simple stuff. Great defensive coach and probably great in the locker room but he can’t do simple math. He wears out his starters and refuses to play his bench. It does seem like his teams don’t have greatest offenses but like I said, when it comes to the playoffs it matters little bc the team is either injured or worn down.

If Malone is on the market he is a much better coach. I am not sure who is out there now. Bud or Monty wouldn’t be an upgrade though…not close
He’s a great defensive coach, Or did he have players that wanted to play defense?

You see any improvement in KAT ‘s defense since coming here?

Yes actually a lot.

He went from being a disinterested liability to someone who is at least trying.

KAT has slow feet. He will never be a defensive ace. But Thibs got more out of him defensively than anyone else has.

Tomorrow nights game is as close to a must win for the Knicks. But it’s not a must win. They will still be in the series if they lose. But it will be a hard mountain to climb if there down 2-1. But I think this team can do it

No, sorry.

Both games have been very close.

No must wins here until somebody gets 3.

Are you serious?

Have you watched Townes play?

Yes, he is slow footed. Lots of slow footed players can win offensively if they are skilled enough.

Jokic and Luka for example.

Joker and Luka are like the older, heavy-set guy at the park that no one wants on their team, then it turns out he can actually play.

Vegas? No thanks. Lived in that area before I got to CO. Just too hot in the summer.
I liked the Pacific Northwest, but its gotten more crowded and expensive since I lived there.

That's the story to keep people away. It hasn't worked. Seattle is very North, so in the winter it is dark a lot and grey when it is light. But from about June to October it is amazing. And I think it has gotten warmer and less rainy since I lived there as well. But you can live in the city and have all those benefits and still get to pretty much any outdoor activity you want in a very short time. A little cold for surfing though,
