I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Too bad your swill sign didn't make the TeeVee show.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2018-02-01, 22:53

Pretty solid debut! I’m glad you had fun travis.

by **Rocinante** 2018-02-02, 00:39

If everyone who goes to any games doesn’t have a swill sign I’ll be very disappointed.

by **DWags** 2018-02-02, 19:01

Jabari Parker is back tonight! Buckle up. Ima git my new bucks hat out. Here we GO!!

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2018-02-03, 13:43

I'm rooting for the Bucks and anyone not the Cavs to make noise in the east. Pistons got the Heat at home tonight.

No. All of your players are so boring and you root for a guy that made Izzo sad. No thank you.

by **The Pantry** 2018-02-03, 14:11

Giannis might be the most exciting player in the league. Happy to have him on my fantasy team.

Booooooooorrrrrrrriiiiiinnnnngggggggg

The bucks, I root for the bucks. Wanna know what else? I was happy when Desmond returned a kick all the way for the Packers in a Super Bowl. I was happy Woodson was on the packers.

I don’t like the college either one went to, and have issues with Desmond personally. Same with Parker. Go Bucks!

So, wanna hat?

Yeah I know they are so terribly boring and you root for a guy that stole a national championship from you and your 24 remaining years good job

I have a hat that says “I’m not bitter”. You can’t have that one. Cause you are. How the pistons doing? Should they tank?

I ain’t bitter at all we gonna smoke you fools.

And no tanking is stupid as hell. It’s the super easy take for lazy sports fans to say “they should just lose” but the reality is that it doesn’t even work. What’s their gold standard? 76ers. 8th in the east.

Yep. Has “tanking” worked for anyone? Look at the fucking Lakers too.

Celtics maybe? I’m not even sure that’s really tanking. They just burned the Nets real bad. Outside of that, no. Tanking is a myth.

by **DWags** 2018-02-03, 15:35

Packers just did. We’ll see if it helps.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2018-02-03, 15:41

Losing the last few games of the season once the playoffs are lost to get a better draft spot is not the same thing as blowing everything up and tanking dwags

Astros in baseball - 76ers in Basketball

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2018-02-03, 15:50

Yeah Celtics were built off trades, and then drafting well. Also being the Boston Celtics and being attractive to free agents

Goose - the sixers? 8th in the east? How is that working?

They've got youth, assets and cap space - the process is working there.

Point taken.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2018-02-03, 16:03

Oh stop selling out to “the process” branding. We’re not 76ers fans we don’t have to be nice. Fultz is probably a flop and the only two corner stones have as many injury concerns as Blake griffin

Wait.

Derrick Rose.

That’s what I meant.

Shut up.

And we’re talking basketball here. Not any other sport. Baseball isn’t really tanking in the same sense in my opinion.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2018-02-03, 16:05

When the sixers win a playoff series or 2 we can talk that it’s working. In the meantime they are what they are

The same could be said for Detroit.

Here's an easy way to view this - if you could trade with the 76ers right now would you?

Complete Roster
Cap situation
All Draft picks

Over a 7 year horizon.

Aye or Nay?

Here’s an easier way... every championship team pretty much ever that wasn’t built on tanking vs the 8th place 76ers who have a flop of a number 1 pick.

Missed your aye or nay. We'll get to watch it.

It'll be interesting to see how the Pistons/Celtics/76ers fare. All trying to build in different ways.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2018-02-03, 20:58

Up by 7 with 7 or 8 left to go

Pistons win everything is great

by Guest 2018-02-03, 21:38

Even when they win and get the over they find a way to fuck me.

Miami hit a buzzer beater that sucks lol

Wow, talk about a bad beat

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2018-02-03, 22:46

Ha, I watched that with my son during halftime and was asking if it mattered. I didn't know what the line was and muttered it might to some.
