Oh Yeah, The Sixers
The Long and Short of It
- The Vibes are so off
Maybe I thought enough time had passed, maybe I was so tired from being beaten senseless all summer by off the court drama that I thought all I needed was to actually see some Sixers basketball being played. What an idiot!! This is the same fatally flawed team with or without 25, with the same stubborn ass coach, that'll present justttt competent enough to make it to a second round playoff series before...yea.
Current Running List to fix the vibes (Sans Ben Resolution) :
Fire Doc
Not happening in the least, he's got too much money left and the owners love a big name but ya'll need to know where my head is.
Let Maxey, Joe and BBall Paul Cook
Can't grow without some pains. If you're serious about developing these three into CONSISTENT contributors, you have to let them eat shit a few (alot of) times and if any city knows about eating shit it's us.
Trade Tobias
I'm not adding the "nice guy but.." who cares, this is for basketball not humanitarian purposes.
Give the big fella a week off
We can't keep doing this you guys. We're already getting the "I just have to push through" and "I probably shouldn't have played' 's, all the hits!
I know what you're thinking, Zo it's only the first 4 games of the season, take it easy. Allow me to retort, GFY, we need to get ahead of this before we're forced to ease into sneak tank SZN (emoji eyes, Jalen Duren Jalen Duren Jalen Duren).
Special War On Drugs Ricky TONIGHT!
The War On Drugs, indie rock darlings, critically acclaimed, VERY popular. They have a new album coming out at midnight tonight called I Don't Live Here Anymore. They're going to be live on ONE podcast this evening right before it comes out. That's right, our Sixers podcast. Adam and Dave will be on the pod tonight right after the game. Watch live on our YouTube channel, and it'll be in the pod feed after.
The Rest From The Best
Maxey and Joe are going to absolutely stink some nights and we should be championing that cause. Our guy Andrew Unterberger on why that's a good thing and crucial for their growth.
Would Daryl Morey really let the Ben stalemate/drama/sage etc last 4 years like he proclaimed a few days ago? Mike O'Connor reads between the lines for us.
