I bought a handle earlier today, I have a lot more left in the bottle than the sixers do in tank.
They'll be lucky to win 1 game. They just don't have the shooters on this team. I hated the Horford signing and watching JJ leave I knew would come back to haunt this team. Brand really screwed up not giving JJ his 2yr deal @ 11mil per.
I didn't mind JJ leaving so much. For as much as he could shoot, he missed a lot of wide open shots and made trash decisions down the stretch of games. But with Simmons out this series there was little chance and seeing them turn the ball over twice and still find themselves down 8, the writing was on the wall.
No doubt. I'd have rather seen the money go to Jimmy, so nothing would have been there for JJ. Seemed weird for them to blow up what they did last year by exchanging Jimmy for Horford which doesn't fit at all. Embiid played a shit series and it still was a four bounce prayer to knock them out.
I also wanted Jimmy Buckets back but I think there were some issues with him and Simmons so it would have been a difficult re-sign. That damn 4 bounce prayer should never have happened if they beat the Raps in game 4. I was at that game and man I couldn't stomach how many times they shot themselves in the foot.
Honestly, I don't think his problem was with Simmons, maybe Brown and from there the FO had an issue, as Brown is de facto FO. Listening to Jo on JJ's pod, it sounded like Jimmy wasn't fond of the dribble hand-off those two ran all the time (which they both described as unstoppable, had to laugh, as that clearly wasn't the case....fuck JJ). Sorry, this would probably be better served on a sixers board, but making due with what we have.
True, Jimmy did have it out with Brown after one of the games last year. The max contract should have went to him but instead went to Toby who isn't worth the money but Brand really had no choice in doing so.
Should be up 2-0
SHOULD be imo...
A lot better. Just need to keep it up
Lol thanks man...
