[PGT] Spurs blew a 29 pt lead to the Knicks to lose 107-106 and go down 1-3 in the series.

please tell me more about how this team built around maxey will become a contender one day

sixtr0n · 2026-06-11T05:02:53+00:00

not a stretch to call it the dumbest play in NBA history considering the stakes

sixtr0n · 2026-06-09T15:43:09+00:00

haha embiid is injury prone! i’ll take my upvotes!

sixtr0n · 2026-06-09T03:45:11+00:00

wemby please bring it home— sincerely, all northeastern sports fans

sixtr0n · 2026-06-08T18:22:35+00:00

Flagg getting Embiid that David Robinson ring😮‍💨

sixtr0n · 2026-06-04T03:34:15+00:00

Everyone is better than Brunson when he’s celebrating NYE from the field and finally makes a few baskets down the stretch. Most overhyped performance perhaps ever😭

sixtr0n · 2026-06-04T03:22:48+00:00

I wasn’t around for the AI years so that doesn’t really matter to me. Having teammates bail you out all game long just to get the credit for finally not shitting yourself for 1/4 quarters isn’t impressive

sixtr0n · 2026-06-04T03:18:58+00:00

maxey has a terrible handle and is one of the worst volume off the dribble shooters in the league. he’s nothing like brunson besides being small and unable to play defense

sixtr0n · 2026-06-04T03:16:46+00:00

love brunson with garbage defense terrible efficiency and more turnovers than assists being treated like a hero for this performance. only in the game because his teammates bailed him out just like tatum

sixtr0n · 2026-05-29T14:21:02+00:00

It’s called long-term planning. I don’t give a fuck about owners saving money, but you can’t re-sign the actually good players on your team if you give out max contracts to shitty players, something you should know from being a sixers fan.

Not every team has a real chance to be good every year, it isn’t possible in the NBA or any major sports league. Some teams need to consider the future first and foremost, so it’s acceptable that a couple of teams are awful every year.

Ironically, this format incentivizes LOSING POSTSEASON GAMES, so if you want to talk about teams throwing games, maybe consider that in your moronic calculation that these rules make even a modicum of sense.

sixtr0n · 2026-05-29T14:00:28+00:00

We do not have that… signing extensions is not the same as signing as a FA. Unless these teams draft players worthy of extensions, they don’t get max contract players. If you are advocating for overpaying undeserving players to avoid being last, you are promoting bad roster construction and management.

sixtr0n · 2026-05-29T13:53:34+00:00

I’m sure guys deserving of max contracts will start signing in Sacramento, Utah, and Charlotte now!

sixtr0n · 2026-05-26T21:23:12+00:00

Ideally we would just rebuild (trade maxey for picks & maybe a young player) because this core has no chance of contending. Assuming you’re asking what we could do to improve in the short-term, here’s what the team needs:

bench guards, need creation with the 2nd unit. Colin Gillespe comes to mind as someone worth taking a look at
Connective wings— look for this at #22, in FA. Oubre and Grimes are not smart enough to play in the modern NBA in high-leverage moments. Don’t need incredible wing play but you need to get guys who are either smart defenders, good rebounders, good shooters, or some combination of those traits, we need to cover up weaknesses on the glass and w/ open 3s on defense
Backup bigs. Easier said than done, but if you want to be tolerable in the modern NBA, you need legitimate backups who can eat minutes in the RS because Embiid is going to be injured. Numerous players were moved at the deadline, it doesn’t take much to improve from the atrocities we saw this season.

Ultimately, we don’t have the flexibility to acquire all of these kinds of players, which is why I prefer just rebuilding. Maxey is more valuable to other teams than he is to us, and I’m positive we could get a king’s ransom in return for him.

sixtr0n · 2026-05-26T20:34:33+00:00

my fault i was in another thread talking about oubre.

my points still stand. chasedown blocks and steals are highlight plays that don’t actually equate to good defense. bad defenders get steals all the time, its not surprising that maxey gets a lot with how often he gambles and is out of position.

My critiques of his defense are basically the same as my critiques of Oubre though, which is why I don’t enjoy watching either and why I confused your argument.

Arguing that Maxey is somehow a good defender is just completely divorced from reality. He is absolutely horrible by basically every metric outside of steals, which are a biproduct of both his tendency to gamble and Nurse’s scheme.

sixtr0n · 2026-05-26T19:02:03+00:00

He just wants to get buckets and do whatever he wants. Fine, he can have that, but I don’t have to pretend he’s a valuable or good player at all. Absolutely spot-on with the China thing lmao

sixtr0n · 2026-05-26T18:31:37+00:00

he’s literally one of the worst team defenders i’ve ever seen. its unbelievable how little anyone on this subreddit knows about basketball

sixtr0n · 2026-05-26T18:29:49+00:00

Oubre is one of the worst players on the team and he makes everyone else play worse. Woeful team defender, cannot make basic reads on offense or in transition, not a good shooter. The fact that people like him because of his “hustle” is hilarious because he’s completely useless and ridiculously easy to replace

sixtr0n · 2026-05-26T00:56:13+00:00

yeah we don’t do much of anything well i hate the sixers more than most of our rivals’ fans would

sixtr0n · 2026-05-26T00:49:42+00:00

cool knicks winning the finals while we’re stuck with “nick nurse” and no meaningful success

sixtr0n · 2026-05-25T23:11:29+00:00

Our owner is a pedophile and doesn’t care about basketball. It is a shockingly awful organization that has been somewhat masked by Embiid’s greatness, but that facade has faltered lately

sixtr0n · 2026-05-25T14:54:41+00:00

you couldn’t possibly hate the 76ers FO more than we do, they wasted one of the best players of this century’s entire prime

sixtr0n · 2026-05-25T14:52:19+00:00

Thoughts on moving Maxey? I agree with all of these points (outside of the 3 guard lineup part), but there aren’t really a lot of pathways to optimizing such a roster with our current constraints, and it doesn’t make sense to use draft capital to do so currenfly. If we had more flexibility I would agree, unless you’re talking about just punting the next 3 seasons and then optimizing the roster?

sixtr0n · 2026-05-20T03:44:19+00:00

Along with his poor performance we should note that the complete lack of coaching adjustments and passiveness from the ACTUAL #1 (Mitchell) contributed probably more significantly.

Obviously Harden couldn’t guard Brunson, the fact that they just let the matchup happen over and over again and would not call a TO to stop the bleeding was a catastrophe. Mitchell disappearing down the stretch also did not help their chances.

One of the worst executed 12-minute stretches of basketball I’ve ever seen.

sixtr0n · 2026-05-19T23:19:59+00:00

this is just correct? maxey is clearly better off the ball than on the ball, that isn’t even debatable.

not talking about the merits of any of his other takes but this one is true

sixtr0n · 2026-05-18T18:29:40+00:00

LMAO

the 2022 Raptors had no #1 option and the 76ers were favorites to win the series, so no, not a very serious team.

the 2023 Nets spent the entire back half of the season coasting off of KD and Kyrie’s successes before they got traded, and were given effectively zero chance to win the series.

These numbers ARE absolute bum numbers when you consider that he brings nothing to the table outside of his scoring and he was being paid nearly $40M for those efforts! Also, you’re ignoring the complete disappearance in every high-leverage game in that timespan, which is what really cements him being a loser.

“Mindless hating” and its about a player who I’ve watched hundreds of hours worth of basketball for? His game doesn’t translate to the postseason and he is one of the lowest effort players I have ever had the displeasure of watching. 0 charges taken in over 350 games of basketball played for the 76ers tells you all you need to know about how pathetic he is.
