Yep. Game 6 was the moment. You caught an off Tatum game. Celtics were feeling the pressure and the Sixers blew the last 6-7 minutes of the 4Q. Not surprised that when Tatum gets hot in the 4Q a killer was able to carry that momentum into a 50 burger in Game 7. Guys like that once they get hot they ride the wave. Wish I had a dude like that.
That game 6 collapse showed me they weren't going to finish the job even if they had won game 6. It doesn't matter the seedings, the playoffs get harder and harder.

And voters never get it wrong off name recognition alone.

Yeah, they get shit wrong from time to time. But I just gave you evidence on two occasions what people invested in this league thought of him. I'm just doing it to support my argument. Because I do think he was a top 15/20 player those seasons. If you disagree, that's fine. Just know that i'm not on an island like you are.

Harris is the only one that gets better come playoff time.

Meh, he played pretty well, but he was paid like a key piece and has never really been a key piece in Philly. His contract was a big mistake and he has been way overpaid for what he has given the Sixers.

I love Embiids game, but how many years in a row do we have to watch him throw everyone else under the bus on an exit before people just tell him to STFU. A year after "prime Harden is not coming back" it is James and I can't do it alone. After a game 7 that he completely vanished. Where is his accountability for that game?

Sure Harris is an awful contract, but you are getting max player value from Maxey for like 4 million? it all evens out.

Can we stop trusting the process yet? If not, how long does the process take?
You guys make this joke pretending that the league didn't sabotage with the colangelos.

That's not the full quote, bro. Pay Attention.

What joke? I didn't make a joke. Y'all sabotaged yourselves, get outta here with that blaming the league BS.
The league absolutely did. The biggest errors in the Process came when the Sixers were rudderless in the front office after Burner gate. They decided to trade Mikal Bridges and they decided to keep Simmons over Jimmy Butler. The Colangelos were only there because the NBA stepped in to the Process after 3 years. Meanwhile, next year will be year 5 of both the Pistons and Rockets tanks. Teams tank all the time in the NBA. Only with the Sixers have you seen the NBA step in and essentially force out a team’s GM and make them hire an approved personality to take over. That approved personality was old man Colangelo who then practiced nepotism and hired his son. They were an unmitigated disaster. The Sixers have to take ownership of their own failures and decisions during that era. However, it’s also fair to point out that Adam Silver and the NBA really did Fuck them in an unprecedented way.

So what you're both saying is, the only reason the 76ers haven't won a championship or even made it to the Eastern finals is because the league hindered you with the Colangelos? Come on now, you both realize how much of a shitty excuse that is right? Adam Silver and the NBA did not screw the Sixers. The Sixers screwed the Sixers. Y'all had 4 players averaging over 20 PPG, 7 averaging over 10 PPG, y'all had 2 players averaging a Double Double, one of the best defenses this year (Top 5 in Blocks per game, Steals per game), best free throwing team in the league.....yet y'all can't put it together in the postseason. That's not a front office problem. That's a player problem. That's a team problem where the players can't carry over the success from the regular season into the post season and y'all haven't been able to get it done in the postseason since we heard the phrase "Trust the Process". It didn't work, it doesn't work, it never will work and that's not because of the Colangelos.

Did it play a factor? Of course it did, but the process wasn't working even before the Colangelos came in so miss me with that BS excuse.
