Hinkie doubters are looking more stupid by the day (based on those posters' history around here, not surprising)
The Fixer has already been to two games (home opener and the OT win vs Indy) -- GREAT time at the sixers games these days. Go see Embeast. He's legit
Sixers fans and fans of USA Soccer are the only fans in the world who think its ok to lose. gotta love it.
I'd love to interview the team physicians and/or trainers who think a guy playing 28 minutes might cause injury. 24-27 is ok, but no don't let Joel get to 28 minutes in a game yet even when you got a chance to win the game. absurd.
is there a bigger joke of a franchise in sports today? maybe the cleveland browns? they just keep finding better ways to embarrass themselves. will they use this to get a new stadium like the Eagles did?

Hard to top the Browns. Carson Wentz would be in a wheel chair right now if they had not traded that pick. Although I don't think the Browns intentionally try to be shitty.

If they were smart and in the NBA they would've....
Sixers have had such a weird schedule. I looked last night after thinking they have played a lot of home games and realized they have played over 70% of their games at home so far. very strange. I know them and the Flyers always go away near Christmas because Disney on Ice is there for a bit but seems like that is a disproportionate number of home games so far.
thought on nerleans "complaining" about only playing 8 minutes?
nerleans thinks he is a lot better than he actually is.
that being said this roster is structured so poorly. thanks Sam. 6 legitimate regular NBA rotation players and all play 2 positions and those 2 positions are barely in fashion in today's game. When Simmons finally plays his best position is probably the 4. I can't see them getting away with Embiid, Okafor and Simmons on the court together. that would clog the lane way too much on offense. I think their best bet is to go with Embiid and Simmons, with Okafor and Ilasova and/or Saric coming off the bench together. Surround Embiid and Simmons with 3 legitimate NBA perimeter players and there is your best team. I want Simmons having the ball a lot so don't necessarily need a pure point. Lots of quality freshman guards in college game today so should be able to get at least 1 next year. they you need a big time shooter and a lock down defender on the perimeter. still a long ways away from being a legitimate contender. going to take some really good roster management to get this team to that level.
okafor and noel are not long term sixers ... unfortunately, the way the roster is set up ... i think you're gonna get $0.70 on the dollar for these guys on the trade market ... if simmons can really play the point - maybe it can work ... but right now ... you're looking at a few years still and then some of those guys are gonna be done their rookie deals looking for max contracts ...
did you guys read the recent SI article on hinkie?

Agree on the $.70 on the dollar but as long as Embiid is the once in a generation dominant beast he appears to be and Simmons is as advertised, these problems will work themselves out.
Deep guard draft with probably 2 lottery picks.
I'm still astonished at how great Embiid is already.

now this is something you and I can fully agree on. For a guy who sat out 2 years and really only played half a year at Kansas it's pretty stunning to be this good this quickly at this level.

Glad Hinkie didn't take the easy way out there.

I would have thought they would have had at least twice as many wins as they do know, kinda frustrating.

I wish Brown would flip flop Noel's and Jah's minutes.
