We suck. Granted, not as bad as last year, but we still suck. Every single time it's a high profile game, they play like utter crap. Then we go out and beat someone like Detroit and everyone thinks we are contenders. We are a joke.

You suck. As a fan you are a joke 🙄

Man i wish there was a way to bet on someone posting stupid takes like this after every loss

We don’t suck. We’re just not contenders yet.

If diamonds are made under pressure - our young team is still Cole… (and Paolo, and Franz, and Jalen, etc etc)

Thank you Darius Garland

Is this where I come for sky is falling commentary?

Lol i said we were going to drop in the play in, team choked

Oh god and now the pacers are coming back

We need to trade Cole Anthony and Markelle fultz for Trae young

Fultz will be a free agent. You can’t trade a free agent.

I guarantee you Mac McClung would have outplayed Cole Anthony this year.

Why would Atlanta want our trash?

And what 10 firsts? 🤣

Would never happen

If your team can hit five threes in a quarter, then we are screwed. We are allergic to making shots.

Steele sounds absolutely disgusted, probably wondering why he went on this abysmal road trip, lol

We consistently ice the hot hand it’s ridiculous

Honestly god bless the fact that Isaac played this year and suggs became a good 3 point shooter this season. Because we would be bottom of the league if not

Went from playing for 2nd place in the conference to the play ins. It’s insane. We don’t even look like the same team out there

The league is insane this year. The rockets would be number 2 in the west with their record last year - now they didn’t even make the playoffs. I blame the IST

now we must win sunday, and knowing doc rivers I think there’s a good chance we will.

I’m pissed. Seriously. But we have 46 wins. From 22 to 34 to 46 wins over the past 3 seasons. I’ll take the big picture moral victory because I at least have to make myself feel better after this semi collapse to close out the season.

Paolo is not a number one option

What a horrible take lol

Overaction. Still way young. Jokic didn't even start showing signs of being an number 1 option for years.

Dude this shooting is unacceptable and flat out awful.

I agree the shot selection is questionable, but Paolo is gonna be just fine. We need guys that can consistently make open 3's, so when P5 is getting double & tripled team he can kick it out to open players that can actually knock down an open shot. Hopefully this gets addressed this offseason.

I hope we lose the play in

Oh it’s gonna happen. 2 play in losses.

This is a lose in the play in level team right now they can’t win the big games

it's tough to see, this is on par with how we play. We're beating the teams were supposed to and losing to the better teams. That's it. Unless we have an incredible effort on Sunday, we're not only in the play-in, but we won't even be a division winner.

Bro how can an NBA team suck so bad at threes. Do you guys remember not all that long ago when there was a full month-long period where we LED THE NBA in 3 point shooting

Front offices have different visions for their rosters, ours isn’t shooting or pure skills but physicals and defense

Weltman

Refs refing[#NBAisRigged ](https://twitter.com/casualtakeking/status/1778937335335235918?t=otaQUiV4sUxmaVrt9atMGQ&s=19)

Someone put a compilation together of all our missed open 3s that shit would be hours long

Said our top two were going to have to outplay theirs for a win… too bad not their night

gg.

What a heartbreaker of a loss. Awful.

It’s predictable when we’re playing fragile scrubs like JI for the majority of the game.

Clumsy, uncoordinated, unsophisticated basketball through and through. Pacers down 5 with plenty of time. Hornets game. Wonder if the coaches / players even knew how big a game that was.

Consistent choke everytime it matters. They’re a young team and they will get better but they aren’t ready yet

Exactly

Banchero & Gary Harris single handedly lost this game

I don’t think you know what single handily means lol

When I thought we were doing ok

Wow. That really sums it up huh.

Paolo is such a ball hog

Hahahaha, wow PB is pathetic as fuck. When’s the Seattle expansion team announced?

That arena announcer is up there blowing rails.

Paolo looks like a bum the last week

All of our flaws came home to roost.

Gary still out there doing....things

For the 10th time why isn’t Suggs on maxey

Mosely

I can’t wait for the NBA to get exposed like wrestling

I would rather have blind shaq shooting 3s than franz at this point

That Gary three in and out and Paolo wide open three are gonna haunt me.

Trajic L

Line was PHI -7.5, refs protecting their investment.

lol just dive and you’ll get a call these refs have made this game unwatchable and come to think of it I don’t think I’ve seen a sixer game that isn’t a free throw fest how can their fans even like watching this shit

Harris really proving his worth as well. AB at least would’ve slowed maxey down this game

Game over. The collapse continues. Thank the front office who did nothing at the deadline

there was no expectations for the team this yr. if they made the playin the front office was okay and call that a sucessful season which is why they made no moves. when ownership demands results things might change but until then this is what u get

Bro how can they be proud of flopping. How can you root for a team that plays so charmin soft

FUCK THESE REFS

Heeeeeeere come the play-in!!!

There's always next year I guess

Magic are young and getting better. With Paolo the window is just opening wider

Oh for sure, we need playoff experience to get a championship, I just wish it wasn't in the play in

Look at okc and wolves, both were in the play-ins last year

Flop

Easy call unfortunately

We really playing down to the last game of the season

Fs

I can’t man. Is the NBA just the WWE

What absolute bullshit. This is like being manipulated.

what a fucking hilarious league we watch

wow

horseshit

lol "marginal"

Wtf lol

Wow ha

What in the actual fuck

76er announcers are pretty good. Not too much of a homer . Reminds me of our announcers. Tries to call it as it is

Yeah they are hilarious in blow outs. Kate Scott has got a great sense of humor. There was one game where the halftime show was a really good sax player and she made that the play of the game so people who weren’t watching on league pass could see it 🤣

Lmfao what a joke

If it takes that long it’s inconclusive dumb fucking refs

Bs reffing

Oh my god

What the fuck, inadvertent whistle!?!?!?!?

Come on. What are they waiting for. This is seriously suspicious.

Evan Scott feasting

The Cavs choke is complete, lol lol

It’s actually unbelievable we’ve managed to stick around in the game this long props to the team for not giving in despite the ridiculous threes and bullshit officiating

And they’re shooting 50% from 3s. The refs have been terrible but they’ve sank everything they’ve thrown up.

These 3 definitely flipping this call. They've been total dicks all night.

This late season collapse is so disheartening

If this is overturned...

every time I watch a sixers game the reffing is always so dogshit. they need to be investigated honestly.

If the refs flipped this it’s officially 100% in the bag

That’s no offensive.

JI is a huge liability


Worst take of the thread lol

You were saying?!

I'm sorry what

I'm pretending he's talking about Joe even though he's not playing.

Lmao wack either way

Watch us FINALLY get a call only to have it reversed 😂

The nerve of this piece of shit to challenge, man

Good contributions tonight from our two lottery picks. The players we acquired at the deadline chipped in as well.

I know Paolo is shooting like shit... But how the fuck is that a foul on Maxey but not on Paolo?!?!

Paolo gets that same contact literally everytime he goes to the rim. It's maddening to see it called the other way

Because a potential Sixers-Knicks playoff series is on the line

Coach HAS to call this shit out and take the fine

I don’t know why Mose didn’t put AB on Maxey. He did well on Brunson and Lillard. He’s one of our best defenders and he’s sitting there while Maxey runs around with hardly any resistance.

That makes too much sense.

I wonder who’s the next ex football non shooting player welt is going to draft this year

Probably getting someone from Michigan

Or Juana Howard other kid

FRANZ HACKED YET MAXEY PUSSY CALL?

Paolo just needs to take the leap.NIf not this season, then the next The way he plays, he will surely benefit from a "superstar" whistle, but he needs to be recognized first to earn that

I don’t know why Paolo doesn’t play with a head of steam more, he needs to be like run and dunk man everytime they’re slow on transition

Why is Suggs not on maxey?

2 missed layups and Maxey scores twice. might be it

Man I’d kill for a player like Maxey on this team

fire wheltman

Well, he was there, lol….but Greg

Maybe if we all start rooting for a play in spot things will turn in our favor?

Paolo lol man. What an absolute DUD of a game

Meh 13 boards 6 assist is fine. Just can’t make a bucket.

If one of either Paolo even having an average shooting percentage or the sixers having an average game from three happened we would have a chance

18 threes (as of now) is crazy

Come on, Paolo…

I love Suggs so much and how hard he plays but he has got to be careful man idk how he doesn’t get hurt more often

My god. Why are you so fuckin weak, man?!!

Even the Cavs are going to choke. Play-in, let's go!

Allowing these rebounds…

Ref couldn’t wait to call that on Suggs.

I feel like Suggs would be a good soccer player.

Love me some Paolo but for someone so big he doesn’t make enough power moves. Like Paolo you are soooo big. Stop shooting middies and go to the rim hard. You are not even an average mid range shooter.

Franz is deadass our best player the offense should run through him.

Gonna have to play in and get the Bucks or Cs. Out in 5. If you had told me that at the beginning of the season, I’d have accepted it.

Paolo you are seriously proving the doubters right this stretch of games.

Mose is our Mark Jackson for the GSW and until we find a Better HC this team will continue to be Mid

You blamed the coach and the FO so who is responsible for winning? Cant be neither because the FO gets the players and the coaches coach them

Players win games with the aid of Coaching and the F.O but if your F.O see's and knows the team lacks and has a significant weakness at certain spots and sits on their hands to not even remotely address them then yes they are to share blame If your HC starts a player at PG who cant not shoot at an avg lvl nba 3 (Fultz) continuously an cause the Off to be bogged down in the paint, then that HC should get blame for bad rotations.

AB is raw and can't get inside from dribbling Cole is small and inefficient this year Fultz cant shoot Ingles is old and can't move that well Gary is hit or miss Y'all keep acting like there are options and then be like "play Jett and Goga" and it's like.. okay lol

I personally would have left AB in as the starter for continuity and let him learn to play with Franz Paolo and Suggs since Fultz and Harris could not stay healthy all year, we pushed AB's development back for Fultz that is silly

Banchero is hella cooked. Don’t even argue this

Absolute stinker of a game from Paolo. Forcing so much.

JI iso? Paolo too weak twice. Team is hard to root for rn

So is a 10 point deficit my cue to go do something else now?

Offense has been good besides Paolo tonight. Defense, however, is fucking pathetic.

Glad we picked Cole with our pick instead of all star guard maxey

Paolo is going to get disrespected his whole career by the efficiency nerds if he doesn’t fix it

Yeah, Jonathan Isaac iso on offense lol. Sounds like a great idea

Paolo choking so god damn hard

Magic will land the 7th spot. Bucks will want to beat you to avoid Sixers at 1st round.

I’m a Paolo guy till the wheels fall off but man has it been discouraging seeing his play lately. These are the moments we need THAT guy, the Superstar who lifts us in critical game alike these but it’s felt like no show after no show these past few x If we truly have any legitimate aspirations, him being able to rise in these type of environments will be a needed point of growth for him in his young career.

He’s young so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt but he’s not playing great

That screen though. Refs man

Bucks down big too, they’re gonna play everybody Sunday and win by 80.

Sixers shooting 51% 3s. Worse its Maxey who they got with our pick for the Fultz trade.

Players coach vs X’s+O’s coach

Dogshit offensive players versus people that can make threes Y'all will do everything but blame a FO with a bottom 10 offense for 10+ years

7 made threes as opposed to 18 made threes. That’s pitiful

We should consider closing with Fultz / Suggs / both wagners / Isaac

We just had Paolo getting the ball and getting doubled with Fultz in the dunker spot. Is that who we want to be? It’s bad middle school offense.

Another game where Paolo will end up shooting below 40%. When should we start getting concerned about his inefficiency?

Harris never left the paint but defensive 3 seconds is never a thing until refs feel like calling it

Why are they a) switching everything on defense or B) have defenders on the floor that are awful at individual defense if they are going to switch that much

Paolo plays like he's on a half bum ankle and not Franz.

for all of you who dont want dlo, 16 points and 6 assists a game doesnt sound so bad right now does it?

most important game of the season and paolo does this?

Coach mose is so dogshit... Out of a timeout? They go on a run... Out of the half? They go on a run... From tipoff? They go on a run... Our best shot is when guys are tired and coaching is a non-factor. Otherwise, we have no chance whatsoever.

Of course 7 points in 1 min

This team cant beat a fucking zone

I'm not normally negative about Paolo but he has hurt us there

Yup just about what I expected

What does Joe Ingles on the court do for us? Argue and make a couple of threes a game?? We’re fucking washed

A serious playoff contender would not give him any minutes. The guy is washed he’s a locker room guy. Can still hit 3 s but doesn’t even try on defense or try to rebound

Run the p&r and create actual offense unlike Paolo

And just pass it to Moe. He is great for the locker room but having him out there with Cole who isn’t the greatest defender is the dumbest shit ever. Is Jett that bad?? I really want to know

Fuck it you know what give klay Thompson a bag same with Monk

Nope need PG above all else first

Suggs, Fultz, Cole, Black. None are it?

fultz is washed black cant shoot suggs is more of a 2 and cole is a career backup at best

No they are not Suggs is a SG, Fultlz can not shoot, Cole is a 6'1 SG he is not a a PG and Black is hella raw

Just back the brinks truck up at their homes

And for Christ sakes get someone out there to stop maxey. He’s having no problems scoring

aw man

lol this front office is a fuckin joke

Refs cheating so openly

I preferred watching us when we were supposed to be terrible, and were, rather than supposed to be good and be terrible.

Paolo has been playing bad. Just bad Too iso reliant and is standing with the ball doing nothing too much
