Harden Hostage Crisis Day: WhatevertheFuck
Â
Sure I'm ok being comfortable, it's what this whole thing was built on, it's our ethos for crying out loud, but at some point man, you gotta want more and better and that's what I want. I want more and better for us and I'm not quite sure where the road to better starts but I'm positive it isn't with 3 months of loud and not so loud back and forth with James Harden.Â

Spike's Corner... God Bless Mike Scott
Every week Spike or Mike will give you something that's on their mind. It's Spike's week, and he's celebrating a Process related championship for one of our favorites.
Â
We’ve had a lot of fan favorites over the last ten years.Â
We give him a lot of shit, but Joel Embiid probably reigns as the mostest fan favorite over the last decade, but we’ve loved a lot of them. TJ McConnell of course will always be a Sixer. BBall Paul is putting his stamp on underdog-of-the-moment. But the most one-of-us Process Sixer of all time is probably Mike Scott.Â
This is why it felt so good to see him cursing after winning the championship and MVP for Gigantes de Carolina in Baloncesto Superior Nacional in Puerto Rico, and cursing while doing it. One of us finally brought home a trophy.Â
It’s pretty easy to remember the amazing Mike Scott moments that built his legend. When he shared a drink with a courtside patron during a game, hit an enormous shot in the playoffs, wore a Ricky hockey jersey and said he’d wear it at the Finals, or any weird moment involving the Mike Scott Hive (shout out to CJ’s tattoo). Of course the proof that Mike Scott is truly accepted is that the moment we like best is when he tried to beat the shit out of Eagles fans while wearing a Washington jersey in the parking lot before a game. (honorable mention goes to the face he was making while watching a replay of a fight between Karl Anthony-Towns and Embiid).
If you’ve seen any of Scott’s highlights in this league, he is balling. He looks like an adult playing with children. As Mike mentioned on last night’s podcast, it’s a good reminder that the NBA players who are role players, and then role players who can’t even stick in the NBA anymore, are much much better than just about anybody else.Â
As the years wear on, and it feels less and less likely that the Sixers themselves will fulfill our hopes as a team, we’re going to have to find victories elsewhere. We got one in Puerto Rico.
Connor Barwin's annual concert for the Make The World Better Foundation is happening on August 26th with Alvvays and Alex G. at The Dell.
Before the show, the official tailgate will happen from 4:30pm till 6:30pm, right across from the venue at Fairmount Park. Spike and Mutlu will do a live Carl Landry Record Club pod, and if you've got tickets, you'll get specialty Stateside drinks, beer from Human Robot, and food from Federal Donuts and Goldie.
You'll need a ticket! Get them here. These are not tickets to the concert, which are separate.
