8:40 I don’t think you understand tanking. Players and coaches will try to win every single game. Only management tries to “tank” by trading away players for draft picks and not going for big name free agents.
Daz is absolutely correct. It's a psychological condition called "the yips"... Once a player gets into their own head in any sport they tend to perform poorly and sometimes forget how to play the sports entirely. It's wild to even think about.
@@ItsDefOver9000 happened to Charles Barkley in his golf swing. Fulltz and Barkley both were treated by sports psychologists for their conditions. They hypnotized Barkley.
No team tries to purposely lose. Management just makes it hard as possible for them to win. Also Golden state did not tank on purpose. They were injury riddled and curry had on off year. Every team goes into a "tank era". Where they don't have any talent to trade and there draft pick haven't been good( usually due to bad management and coaches). Its a natural process in the NBA its how teams get out the mediocre circle.
@@yonko23_ management IS the team bud - not the players. You're thinking it's the other way around when it isn't. The ones that decide who does or doesn't wear the uniform. Players and coaches have pride and of course never want to lose but if the org wants to lose, then the team DOES want to lose.
@@yonko23_ I clearly described what you were saying - we just have different definitions of what "team" means dingus. Maybe you should learn to read, and learn to spell while you're at it.
As a sixers fan the 10 win team was one of my favorites we’ve ever had and they were fun because they were young guys who were actually trying to win a lot of them were just not very good at all. TJ McConnell, Hollis Thompson, Tony Wroten, RoCo, the process legends lol
@@Laurica-lb6nv Dont doubt they didnt want to be in that position just saying they took full advantage of it lol they said lets get a top 3 guy for when currys back
19:11 that's where you're wrong, shooting on an nba floor is always different from an open gym. Simmons could walk into any gyms right now with guys who are not pros but play basketball regularly and be one of the best shooters in the gym. Even in highschool playing for montverde he shot threes from time to time
Yep. Even in game there is a massive difference between a wide open shot and a contested one. And if you're in the gym you're far more relaxed and able to get a rhythm going. "Bad" in game shooters will still outshoot 99% of people in the world. lol
Buddy of mine played with Chris Anderson (The Birdman) Who in the NBA was just a dunker and defensive guy. He saw him make 15 threes in a row. People just dont get the skill level of these guys. And he was a guy who probably shot less than 10 jumpers in his entire career.
So it should be obvious but teams don’t really “lose on purpose”. Management will try to have the weakest roster but it’s worth noting that players will never ever tank. When a team tanks, they just have shitty players who still try to win

The lottery system is designed to help stop teams from tanking. The teams that finish in the last 3 spots all only have a 14% chance of winning the #1 pick, and then it drops from there. I've been a Knicks fan my whole life and we have had numerous bottom 6 finishes, and haven't had a SINGLE #1 since 1985 when we got Patrick Ewing. We are straight up cursed.
U might think it's weird for American sports teams to tank for draft picks but we think its weird that the same 5 European soccer teams win every year by buying the best players. Atleast we have parity.

All you can do is wait for the draft. The off-season becomes what you look forward to. The post Kobe injury years of the Lakers was like this but at least the Lakers never gave up. They just made some bad trades; they gave up too many draft picks for Nash and Howard. Plus, Kobe's injury crippled them financially. Can't blame that on anyone though. However, they drafted well: Randle, Russell, Nance, Clarkson, Ingram, Kuzma, Ball, that allowed them to make moves for another championship run. But those years from 2013 to 2019 were rough. The off-season was what you looked forward to.
Of all the bad decisions Philly made during the process, drafting Ben Simmons was far from the worst. From what I remember, Simmons was pretty much the consensus #1 player in that draft. He’s not even nearly as bad as fans would have you think, it’s mostly just the fact that 1) he’s dealt with injuries and 2) he is basically the same player he was when he came into the league and hasn’t significantly improved anything about his game. Compare that to other guys in the same draft like Jaylen Brown and Pascal Siakam who have improved pretty much every year they’ve been in the league. That being said, it’s hard to blame Philly for drafting him when pretty much every other team would’ve done the same.
NOBODY expected Simmons to never develop a shot. He literally has all of the intangibles of Magic Johnson and was thought to possibly be the next version of him. It would have been dumb to draft anyone else given that position.
You would think so but these guys have horrible takes on basketball that they think are true but aren't and they're really bad at retraining old info when they think they already know something.
@derpderpin1568 Yeah, but their takes are bad because of lack of knowledge about the sports so it makes sense. Some people out here know a lot about basketball and have worse takes and believe BD to be true and they have know excuse lol. Whether these guys are knowledgeable or not about the sport they are watching, it's usually an entertaining watch amd atleast they actually talk about the highlight/videos/players. Many reactors just basically let the video play and say "Wow" and them the video finishes and they say "Well like and subscribe" and then yhe video ends
Regardless of teams deliberately tanking or not. They introduced a draft lottery, where the bottom 8(?) Teams are randomly selected for picks one thru 8(?) so teams aren’t able to lose out and be guaranteed a number 1 pick
To be fair to the players they aren’t going out there to lose on purpose they just aren’t good enough to compete with better teams. It’s all on the management for putting together terrible teams and golden state didn’t suck on purpose that year I think kd left klay and steph were both injured.
Golden state did NOT deliberately lose to get a fist pick in the draft. KD left, Klay torn is acl and Achilles, steph broke his hand in the 3 game of that season and they were in salary cap hell. They did everything they could do in the season to put a decent team out there. They were just in a tough spot. They were actually trying to win games. That was not a very good draft class for anyone to tank for when there is no guarantee to get the first pick.
Hello from northeast Ohio, USA. As a Cleveland Cavaliers fan, I feel bad for the Philadelphia fans. The team has gone over 40 years without a championship, and they have to watch all this corruption.
the objective truth is that Hinkie played the system perfectly and put the Sixers in a position to succeed for a decade +, but the people who took over for him squandered everything. the Sixers were screwed over when the NBA took over and put the Colangelos in charge of the team. Everything has gone downhill since that moment. They once had tons of flexiblity and assets but were stuck in a tough spot. your team wins 10 games, that sucks. but guess what, if your team wins 30 games a season you will NEVER get better. the nuances of tanking in the NBA and how the sport is set up is different from any European sport and will be hard to grasp for newer or casual fans. a large number of Sixers fans were with Hinkie because they understood how the NBA works. you need superstars and the easiest way to do that is to acrue high draft picks.
they also hitched their wagon to Embiid who has literally no motor and then had the amazing idea to grab Harden, another player everyone knows has no motor. they were never going to do anything with these players, none of the guys they picked are winners.
To be fair to the warriors KD left Klay got injured in the finals and curry got injured 5 games into the season. The team was just filled with draymond and roleplayers
Philadelphian checking in, best believe the tickets were CHEAP from 2014-2018. You could get great seats to see us lose against good playoff teams for like $50, they were fine times there weren't any expectations and guys gave it their all. THATS why we as fans stuck around, a lot of games were blowouts but guys didnt go out there and bow down and thats all you can ask when the talent disparity was that great
This is a biased video that you are reacting to. I was a 76ers season ticket holder at the time (I moved to Florida since) and almost everyone was for it! We all understood what was going on and embraced it, the fans never got "tired" of it. The Sixers also didn't choose to let Hinke go, the NBA came in and forced our hand. Sixers fans were very upset about this, and everyone took their anger out on Colangelo, who was now deviating from the plan that the fans have invested years into. He got a lot of hate, which is probably why he felt compelled to get a burner twitter to defend himself, which led him to resigning. Basically, we were only halfway done doing this untraditional thing and then were forced to do a traditional approach when we were at our worst. I Still think we would be much better off if Hinke were around. There were also protest about Hinke's firing, but the Sixers confiscated the signs. I just feel like this video misrepresented this in a way that makes it seems like the opposite was true. You guys are awesome! I get extra excited whenever you react to a Philadelphia Team! and love the Philly Jokes OB Daz throws in time to time. Reacting to the 2017 Philadelphia Eagles would be awesome! You actually recently asked if a team like this ever happened and wanted suggestions. So, without spoiling the ending, I know you would enjoy it! Thank You!
@OfficeBlokeDazSportsEdition When teams are "tanking" the players and the coaches are usually still trying to win, it's just the management has got rid of all the best talent so the team just isn't good enough to compete. Its not like they go out there and stand around and let the other team just score 200 points
james harden recently demanded a trade from philly and called the sixers gm daryl a liar and said he would never play for him again, so the process continues
I would love it when opposing teams would showcase a tank when playing a team that was obviously intentionally losing on purpose. And yeah everyone is right that the players don't, their stats mean money so why would you expect them to play worse on purpose. But the reality is that it's pretty much in every team sport.
we went because top level was $7.76 and bottom level $17.76 lol sixers werent really relevant since iversons earlier tenure too so the process actually brought them more attention
Golden State didn't tank, their best players were injured and when they were healthy again they were good again and won another championship. Also, teams don't lose on purpose. Players are still playing hard and competing for new contracts and most players have incentive based contracts. What the sixers did was trade away their good players for future draft picks. They set themselves up to be not as competitive, but coaches stilll try to win because they're trying to cement their legacy and get bigger contracts as well. It's betting on your future.
No american professional sports team is allowed to deliberately tank. It does happen in round about ways like in the 76ers case and it has happened in more obvious ways like the Mavericks at the end of the year this past season but they were punished for it. Also the nba has a lottery system for the draft to prevent teams losing on purpose to gain the first pick. The poorer record doesn’t necessarily mean the top draft pick. It does however give you better odds to get a better draft pick, still not a guarantee of a top pick.
IM A DIE HARD SIXERS AND EAGLES FAN BEING FROM PHILLY BORN AND RAISED AND IT WAS A HORRIBLE TIME WATCHING SAM STINKY AND CHIP KELLY DISMANTLING BOTH OUR TEAMS.. BUT NOW WE BACK AND BETTER, EVEN THO MY SIXERS NEED MORE WORK AND SHOULDVE KEPT PHILLY BORN ALL STAR AND VILLANOVA GRADUATE MIKAL BRIDES
The funniest thing about the process is that the Sixers had Dru Holliday and could have picked Yannis in the very beginning of it and those two won a championship as the best two players on the Bucks. They didn't have to do any of this nonsense.
I think you guys are misunderstand the “trying to lose.” The players are trying to win the games, but the front office, specifically those in charge of managing the roster will play less than desirable players in order to lose. They don’t literally tell people to lose, it’s against the NBA’s rules for a reason.
You're wrong about the Warriors. lol Curry and Klay got injured. And Durant also left. So their whole team was gutted out. They definitely didn't tank on purpose. Because you can maybe get away with one injury for a while if you have other superstar teammates, but to lose your top 3 is another story. It wasn't planned out. lol
its a combination of being terrible and tanking. usually teams will try in the first half of the season and if their not good enouh they just take towards the end
I’m only 5 1/2 minutes in & my heart rate is already escalating! The Sixers had so many opportunities around 2012. Sam Hinkie getting fired was the worst decision ever! Ben Simmons killed us, Doc Rivers is awful - thankfully both are gone. Now we’re dealing with drama again. Ugh so much to say but I’d rather put my energy in the Phillies & Eagles for the time being!
You aren't going to be a better shooter unless you are coached about how to shoot. I think that Simmons probably was not very coachable, but I don't know for sure. We were taught how to shoot in great detail regarding feet, shoulder, hand position, the type of stroke to take when shooting, what to look at/aim for at different angles, etc. And we practiced it over and over--and during the offseason we were required to keep and log of the hours we practiced each skill--dribble left hand, right hand, speed, crossovers, left and right hand shooting (layups especially), foul shooting (had to make ten in a row before you could stop for that session--and for each foul shot you had to mimic game conditions by dribbling full throttle back and forth to foul lines between each foul shot--you don't get to stand there calm, not tired and shoot one after another --if he did that after getting coached on the foul shot technique that is best for him, he would not be missing 7 out of ten foul shots in a game. Overall, you, with the coaches, identified where you were weakest and put in extra time with that instead of doing those things you were solid at over and over--maybe Simmons never learned how to practice on his own?--a lot of players want to play a lot of pickup ball, but then don't develop the discipline to work on skills individually. I turned in my time chart of individual practice into the coach each summer during high school and there were 250-300 hours spent most of those summers broken down by each skill practiced (as described above). AND, we played in a Summer league, too, outside at our school district courts with games scheduled several nights a week--to get a chance to apply what we were working on.
100% its that Simmons isn't coachable. He has the same awful shooting mechanics since high school and never improved it. Also coach Brown was begging him to shoot during games, even going to the media and talking about it. But Simmons wouldn't listen. I think he only took like 5 3s his whole career. This is a guy that relied on his physical attributes and gifted iq passing ability to get him by. Such a shame, he could've been a HOF if he had the right mental approach. that's the end of my rant lol
An owner that actually cares about winning for the city & not just collecting ownership of other sports franchises… that happen to be rivals of Philly! I don’t want the Sixers moving to Chinatown either!
That's hilarious yeah phillys got nothing to look forward to i remembered when the Eagles won the Superbowl and my friend sent me a video of a fan eating literal dog sh!t and thinking yeah they deserve nothing nice, like the bulls after MJ Chicago wins they riot they lose they rioting so with overly "passionate" fans its tough to do anything because any expectations are not enough to satisfy a community.
Kinda sucks that you talk about the NBA like you know it but really you don't know much about the NBA. Bynum was a great player, just had injury problems which shortened his career (still got 2 rings by the way). GS didn't tank they had injuries that caused them to get a top pick. It was the Covid year when scouting was worse overall because the college players couldn't really play much. GS missed on that pick as Wiseman wasn't great and was also injured most of the time. Philly had like 5 chances over multiple years and got 1 player worth keeping. The process failed the 6ers and they have never been good enough. Trust the process is the same as Trust the Bullshit. Most of their picks were constantly hurt, or just didn't feel like playing but still wanted to get payed 40 mil a year. There is something to be said about character when picking players they got a lot of injury proned bad character players and missed on a lot of good players. Butler has made the finals twice since he left and the sixers haven't made anything notable.
Philly is falling apart. Harden wants to be traded, he is in China now talking sh*t about Philly management. Embid made statement that he wants to win in Philly or somewhere else. Even if they stay as a group they will choack again
I wish US sports didn’t reward the suck. Bring on Relegation. Lol And exactly daz, people shouldn’t go. But NBA/NFL fans kind of deal with tanking as it is supposed to result in something better. It’s so broken. 😂
The US System of tanking is so alien to others. They celebrate losses all in hope they might get the number 1 pick. That's ludicrous to anyone not from the US. The Warriors tanking highlighted how stupid the whole process is. A team with that amount of talent, tanked the year away when Curry and Thompson went down and still ended up with the number 2 pick. It's just ridiculous. And the really annoying thing is they didn't break any rules. It's truly crazy. And they're not even the best at it, the Spurs are NBA tanking masters. When they tank they get David Robinson, Tim Duncan, now Wemby and they sneak into top spot without people even realising they're there.
The warriors didn’t deliberately lose games Curry got hurt, Thompson was hurt and Durant left
Yea but once they realized curry was out they definitely didn’t try hard to win. I think draymond it himself 😭
I just know they ran to KD crying. That makes em a bitch franchise if I ever seen one
Once those injuries happened they definitely started the tank.

To be fair to the warriors KD left Klay got injured in the finals and curry got injured 5 games into the season. The team was just filled with draymond and roleplayers
The Lonzo disrespect is crazy
Philadelphian checking in, best believe the tickets were CHEAP from 2014-2018. You could get great seats to see us lose against good playoff teams for like $50, they were fine times there weren't any expectations and guys gave it their all. THATS why we as fans stuck around, a lot of games were blowouts but guys didnt go out there and bow down and thats all you can ask when the talent disparity was that great
The Warriors definitely didn’t lose on purpose, Draymond was their best player the entire season lmao no KD no Klay no Steph
This is a biased video that you are reacting to. I was a 76ers season ticket holder at the time (I moved to Florida since) and almost everyone was for it! We all understood what was going on and embraced it, the fans never got "tired" of it. The Sixers also didn't choose to let Hinke go, the NBA came in and forced our hand. Sixers fans were very upset about this, and everyone took their anger out on Colangelo, who was now deviating from the plan that the fans have invested years into. He got a lot of hate, which is probably why he felt compelled to get a burner twitter to defend himself, which led him to resigning. Basically, we were only halfway done doing this untraditional thing and then were forced to do a traditional approach when we were at our worst. I Still think we would be much better off if Hinke were around. There were also protest about Hinke's firing, but the Sixers confiscated the signs. I just feel like this video misrepresented this in a way that makes it seems like the opposite was true.
You guys are awesome! I get extra excited whenever you react to a Philadelphia Team! and love the Philly Jokes OB Daz throws in time to time. Reacting to the 2017 Philadelphia Eagles would be awesome! You actually recently asked if a team like this ever happened and wanted suggestions. So, without spoiling the ending, I know you would enjoy it! Thank You!
@OfficeBlokeDazSportsEdition When teams are "tanking" the players and the coaches are usually still trying to win, it's just the management has got rid of all the best talent so the team just isn't good enough to compete. Its not like they go out there and stand around and let the other team just score 200 points
james harden recently demanded a trade from philly and called the sixers gm daryl a liar and said he would never play for him again, so the process continues
Ben Simmons rubbed off on Fultz and that's how his shot got messed up, guaranteed.
There's new drama with Harden now refusing to play for any team run by Daryl Morey, who is the 76ers current GM.
Hinkie didn’t resign we was forced out to the league by the NBA Commissioner and they implemented Colangelo
I would love it when opposing teams would showcase a tank when playing a team that was obviously intentionally losing on purpose. And yeah everyone is right that the players don't, their stats mean money so why would you expect them to play worse on purpose. But the reality is that it's pretty much in every team sport.
The players were trying to win, but since they traded away all major talent they just couldnt compete. The front office wanted them to tank.
Ben Simmons did not get hurt in the middle of his rookie year he got hurt before the season started and was out that whole year
we went because top level was $7.76 and bottom level $17.76 lol
sixers werent really relevant since iversons earlier tenure too
so the process actually brought them more attention
also aiden 4 coaches in 10 years aint too bad,
I think there were more coaches changed than teams in the premier league last season lol
And now Harden has requested a trade and publicly called his GM who was also with him in Houston, a liar 😂
Golden State didn't tank, their best players were injured and when they were healthy again they were good again and won another championship. Also, teams don't lose on purpose. Players are still playing hard and competing for new contracts and most players have incentive based contracts. What the sixers did was trade away their good players for future draft picks. They set themselves up to be not as competitive, but coaches stilll try to win because they're trying to cement their legacy and get bigger contracts as well. It's betting on your future.
As a sixers fan this is basically what happened bad gms bad draft picks bad coaches and quitters
Yeah the warriors never tried to lose. Curry was hurt
No american professional sports team is allowed to deliberately tank. It does happen in round about ways like in the 76ers case and it has happened in more obvious ways like the Mavericks at the end of the year this past season but they were punished for it.
Also the nba has a lottery system for the draft to prevent teams losing on purpose to gain the first pick.
The poorer record doesn’t necessarily mean the top draft pick. It does however give you better odds to get a better draft pick, still not a guarantee of a top pick.
golden state had that bad year bc steph and klay were both injured
IM A DIE HARD SIXERS AND EAGLES FAN BEING FROM PHILLY BORN AND RAISED AND IT WAS A HORRIBLE TIME WATCHING SAM STINKY AND CHIP KELLY DISMANTLING BOTH OUR TEAMS.. BUT NOW WE BACK AND BETTER, EVEN THO MY SIXERS NEED MORE WORK AND SHOULDVE KEPT PHILLY BORN ALL STAR AND VILLANOVA GRADUATE MIKAL BRIDES
Im wit Aiden on that. They did change the rules alot tho so tanking doesn't work like it used to.
They've always had a lottery system in place but they made it even more fair these days. 4th to last has almost the same odds to win it as 1-3rd last.
The funniest thing about the process is that the Sixers had Dru Holliday and could have picked Yannis in the very beginning of it and those two won a championship as the best two players on the Bucks. They didn't have to do any of this nonsense.
Check out some little league world series highlights !! Really good 12yr old teams . Impressive !!
A lot of the players who fall out of the nba go play overseas
Day 1 of asking for 14 minutes of pissed off nhl goalies
The warriors were just bad that year 💀
Philly fans go to the games as some sort sadistic torture
they stopped the tanking this season because the draft is now a lottery
I think you guys are misunderstand the “trying to lose.” The players are trying to win the games, but the front office, specifically those in charge of managing the roster will play less than desirable players in order to lose. They don’t literally tell people to lose, it’s against the NBA’s rules for a reason.
You're wrong about the Warriors. lol Curry and Klay got injured. And Durant also left. So their whole team was gutted out. They definitely didn't tank on purpose. Because you can maybe get away with one injury for a while if you have other superstar teammates, but to lose your top 3 is another story. It wasn't planned out. lol
its a combination of being terrible and tanking. usually teams will try in the first half of the season and if their not good enouh they just take towards the end
Golden State never deliberately tanked, Durant left and I believe Curry and Klay Thompson was still hurt and rehabbing.
Ben Simmons problem is more mental than anything. Although his shooting mechanics aren’t good either.
golden state didnt tank. they were just injured all seaason
I’m only 5 1/2 minutes in & my heart rate is already escalating! The Sixers had so many opportunities around 2012. Sam Hinkie getting fired was the worst decision ever! Ben Simmons killed us, Doc Rivers is awful - thankfully both are gone. Now we’re dealing with drama again.
Ugh so much to say but I’d rather put my energy in the Phillies & Eagles for the time being!
Ben Simmons shoots with his non-dominant hand for some reason, that’s why he never improves
You aren't going to be a better shooter unless you are coached about how to shoot. I think that Simmons probably was not very coachable, but I don't know for sure. We were taught how to shoot in great detail regarding feet, shoulder, hand position, the type of stroke to take when shooting, what to look at/aim for at different angles, etc. And we practiced it over and over--and during the offseason we were required to keep and log of the hours we practiced each skill--dribble left hand, right hand, speed, crossovers, left and right hand shooting (layups especially), foul shooting (had to make ten in a row before you could stop for that session--and for each foul shot you had to mimic game conditions by dribbling full throttle back and forth to foul lines between each foul shot--you don't get to stand there calm, not tired and shoot one after another --if he did that after getting coached on the foul shot technique that is best for him, he would not be missing 7 out of ten foul shots in a game. Overall, you, with the coaches, identified where you were weakest and put in extra time with that instead of doing those things you were solid at over and over--maybe Simmons never learned how to practice on his own?--a lot of players want to play a lot of pickup ball, but then don't develop the discipline to work on skills individually. I turned in my time chart of individual practice into the coach each summer during high school and there were 250-300 hours spent most of those summers broken down by each skill practiced (as described above). AND, we played in a Summer league, too, outside at our school district courts with games scheduled several nights a week--to get a chance to apply what we were working on.
100% its that Simmons isn't coachable. He has the same awful shooting mechanics since high school and never improved it. Also coach Brown was begging him to shoot during games, even going to the media and talking about it. But Simmons wouldn't listen. I think he only took like 5 3s his whole career. This is a guy that relied on his physical attributes and gifted iq passing ability to get him by. Such a shame, he could've been a HOF if he had the right mental approach. that's the end of my rant lol
Bro what GSW did not tank. Curry, there best player was injured. Klay was hurt for like for a long time. KD left for Brooklyn.
warriors didnt lose intentionally their teams best players got injured so they finished in the back
An absolute disaster. I’m embarrassed to be a lifelong sixers fan at this point. We need new ownership
An owner that actually cares about winning for the city & not just collecting ownership of other sports franchises… that happen to be rivals of Philly! I don’t want the Sixers moving to Chinatown either!
@@lovesgucci1 completely agree with everything you said
That's hilarious yeah phillys got nothing to look forward to i remembered when the Eagles won the Superbowl and my friend sent me a video of a fan eating literal dog sh!t and thinking yeah they deserve nothing nice, like the bulls after MJ Chicago wins they riot they lose they rioting so with overly "passionate" fans its tough to do anything because any expectations are not enough to satisfy a community.
They re-sign Jimmy and this video does not exist! Smh
Kobe reaction
Andrew Bynum was the starting center for the Lakers back to back championship runs alongside Pau Gasol and Kobe
Kinda sucks that you talk about the NBA like you know it but really you don't know much about the NBA. Bynum was a great player, just had injury problems which shortened his career (still got 2 rings by the way). GS didn't tank they had injuries that caused them to get a top pick. It was the Covid year when scouting was worse overall because the college players couldn't really play much. GS missed on that pick as Wiseman wasn't great and was also injured most of the time. Philly had like 5 chances over multiple years and got 1 player worth keeping. The process failed the 6ers and they have never been good enough. Trust the process is the same as Trust the Bullshit. Most of their picks were constantly hurt, or just didn't feel like playing but still wanted to get payed 40 mil a year. There is something to be said about character when picking players they got a lot of injury proned bad character players and missed on a lot of good players. Butler has made the finals twice since he left and the sixers haven't made anything notable.
Philly is falling apart. Harden wants to be traded, he is in China now talking sh*t about Philly management. Embid made statement that he wants to win in Philly or somewhere else. Even if they stay as a group they will choack again
I wish US sports didn’t reward the suck. Bring on Relegation. Lol
And exactly daz, people shouldn’t go. But NBA/NFL fans kind of deal with tanking as it is supposed to result in something better.
It’s so broken. 😂
The US System of tanking is so alien to others. They celebrate losses all in hope they might get the number 1 pick. That's ludicrous to anyone not from the US. The Warriors tanking highlighted how stupid the whole process is. A team with that amount of talent, tanked the year away when Curry and Thompson went down and still ended up with the number 2 pick. It's just ridiculous. And the really annoying thing is they didn't break any rules. It's truly crazy.
And they're not even the best at it, the Spurs are NBA tanking masters. When they tank they get David Robinson, Tim Duncan, now Wemby and they sneak into top spot without people even realising they're there.
First!
