Series Thread: 2nd Round: Philadelphia Sixers vs Atlanta Hawks

[msgkings322]

She was at a friend’s family’s Christmas Party. The friends older brother was home from college and his buddy Lefty was there. She got drunk and gave up the poonanny to a college guy. Horrible experience getting cucked like that. I went to a small Catholic high school of about 800 kids. It took about 36 hours for everyone to know but me haha. My boy ended up telling me at 1st period.

Was she a freshman too? Because that makes her too young for Lefty and kind of a ho

Jesus Christ! Sports has me using strangers like they’re my therapists. Maybe in our next session I’ll open up about my relationship with my parents.

Oh absolutely. But FR year me the fact that she was a ho and I had a chance to lose my virginity to someone who puts out made her more attractive with my 14 year old priorities. I gambled right. She was a ho and she was gonna give it up. I just wasn’t in the right place at the right time. Now I’m gonna look her up on Facebook to see what she’s doing today haha.

I am hung over and angry this morning. Not a good feeling all around. Fuck these Sixers man, they are extremely frustrating to root for. I think they are toast now, but of course I will root for them to win the next two and eke it out. Do I realistically think they will do it? Hell no. They choked these two very winnable games.

 

[Iggloo]

He's probably laughing somewhere, watching Benny miss those FTs and yelling at the screen, "Still think it was MY fault???"

As for trading Simmons and Harris, I think it is going to be pretty tough because of their salaries and obvious warts. But I felt the same way about Al Horford and Morey whipped a rabbit out of his hat there.

 

[We Are Decent]

They just need a third person for a Big Three, they had that spark with Butler and blew it. Embiid can never be 100% and Simmons isn't meant to be the backup star player (tho I'm not on the hate train for him, that's dumb), they have not realized this in the past two seasons, and I don't know if they ever will.


Also I'm just convinced that Doc Rivers is a disease to teams, why is still in the League?

 

[Iggloo]

I have not been a Doc hater, but his managing of minutes in these playoffs has raised some major question marks for me. I think he just needs to give up on Shake Milton, the guy doesn't have it. Maxey only played one minute last night, while Milton got 12. That's nuts IMO.

Someone will take on Simmons. You won't get a superstar in return though. And it won't be a str up trade. The Sixers will have to give up Ben plus players in order to move him

Pasta right again…. Will ya Eva learn

No way man. That is nuts.

Ben Simmons is an asset on his current deal for sure. 100%.

You don’t have to give assets to move him.

There are many teams he would fit on and who would be happy to take him.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Watching last night go down was an other worldly experience. With 3 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter ESPN predictor had the Sixers at 99.7% to win. 99.7%. Let that sink in. That’s flirting with powerball odds that the Hawks would win.

This reminds me of 7 year old me being so disappointed and angry when I watched Superman 2 and I see my hero give up his super powers for Margot Fucking Kidder’s Butter Face and then watching Superman get his ass kicked by a Hucklefuck truck driver. Just so fucking sad.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

On an absolutely shit day, you’ve made me smile bro. Appreciate it. I need to grow up. I’m 45 years old and sports has me experiencing the 7 stages of grief. That’s mother fucking sad. At the same time, it’s real. I actually bought in with this group. Feel like I’m back in FR year of HS and I walk into homeroom and everybody but me knew my girlfriend fucked some guy named Lefty over the weekend. (True story by the way haha.)

Simmons is the player to blame for this choke job.

Embiid and Curry can't do it alone. 4 FGA's is embarrassing and 4 of 14 from the FT line is abysmal.

 

[DJ]

The Sixers bench was also awful.

 

[DJ]

Man, the Sixers should have traded for Harden.....Embiid and Harden is an excellent 1-2 punch with Curry and the others they have. That team would be hard to beat.

That combination would have been very hard to beat. But then again Harden is hurt. So the sixers would have been outsed by the Hawks already.

Watching last night go down was an other worldly experience.

I didn't have a dog in the fight (but was pulling for your Sixers). There was a point where I just wanted to change the channel, but couldn't because it was like driving past a bad accident where you don't want to look, but you can't stop yourself.

 

[Four4Four]

the amount of attempts he took in the last four 4th qts.

 

[Iggloo]

The Sixers are a mentally soft team. That's the painful reality. They are like schoolyard bullies. They don't respond well when punched in the mouth.
