It's the price the Sixers has to pay for that godawful red court.

Fucking shit giving me vertigo. 0-2 on that god foresaken shit show. Glad it’s gone now for the rest of the year. Not sure if it’s any correlation but the Sixers shot like shit from the floor on this court.

 

[fightinfunbags]

The Sixers will play their 15th game tonight. This is the third time they’ll be playing a 3 games in 4 days stretch. Sorry. That’s fucking bull shit and now you know why I bitch about the Sixers arena situation.

@Shanemansj13 @WiggyRuss @dtgold88 do Cavs fans regret the Mitchell deal? Watching the team without Mitchell it seems like you get a better Garland, a better Allen, a better Mobley. You’d also still have Markk who has really turned into a great player. Sexton is still likely traded but for a different piece. It seems like the Cavs just went out and acquired a “name” player without any attention to how he fit.

I wasn’t a fan because I don’t like 2 small guards

Portland showed how hard it is to make it work

But they’ll get a decent amount of it back

I’ll eat that I wasn’t a huge mark fan and he’s taken huge leaps forward

Sexton is much closer to clarkson, like I said, and also dumb that Utah is collecting non pgs to play pg….

Those courts were ugly as heck. So bad staring at those for long could give somebody a seizure.

LOL.

That's not gonna be good.

OKC gonna boatrace them.

Yeah, so far, I'm not a fan of any of these courts, Lakers included, but the red ones are almost painful. Like looking directly at an eclipse. lol

I wouldn’t bet on that, Jalen Williams still out and they can’t keep shooting like Gods forever. Or can they?

Mark didn’t grow into the player he was until he become a #1 option on Utah though. I loved him but he was inconsistent.

I understand though what Utah is doing because of where they are in their rebuild. You stock pile assets to get future assets. You don’t care about fit. In fact, bad fit is better for organically tanking to improve pick odds.

Yep. At first I’m like, when were the Hawks ever light blue but when you see the red courts you’re like, thank god it wasn’t that.

Then they should’ve sold clarkson by now…

That’s fair. At the same time, if that’s me and say Shake Milton goes off to do things elsewhere I’m mad at the Sixers for not having the vision and development to get that ceiling out of a guy.

Do we agree that Mitchell doesn’t fit and he’s stagnating the growth of others?

Now is the time. He’s gone off and has been posting some numbers. I think Ainge has held on perfectly if he keeps putting up stats.

Worse than that Boise State football field.

Cry me a driving river. The Pistons have already played 15 and don’t even have a real team to do it with. Just means your schedule will be easier down the stretch. At least you have something to root for; we’ll get the #5 pick again in a weak lottery year and have a twice fired coach locked up for 6 years.

Wishing everybody an early Happy Thanksgiving.
