  1. needed roco or batum in the 4th not tobi. probably win the game if tobi doesn’t try to save the ball out of bounds like a fucking moron with 4 seconds on the shot clock.

  2. You guys were hyping up empty Embiid stats and ‘vibes’ against HORRIBLE teams to say that we’re good.. we play a semi functional team and look awful. We aren’t good and ‘dogs’ and ‘vibes’ don’t matter. Y’all will write this off as ‘ we can’t win them all’ but we got losses to pacers, cavs,wolves,bucks,Boston and more. We just not good, and the excuses about sometimes there’s off games are not gonna cut it.

    Other copium response is that ‘ it’s December’

  3. As has been the case for 6 years, the Sixers will never be an actual contender until Tobias Harris is off the roster.

    He’s a curse on the court and financially

  4. there’s plenty of reasons to have doubts about most of the available trade targets but i really can’t see any of them only putting up 3 points lmao, for as many defensive liabilities or injury concerns or other such issues exist there’s at least that

    wolves will be tough but the team has bounced back from worse so here’s hoping for a big win

  5. The two man game with Joel and Maxey works great a lot of the time but it seems like the ball isn’t moving anywhere else.

  6. Embiid was the only person who played well today. Maxey was bad shooting 34% from the field but at least he kept trying to shoot especially from 3 unlike Tobias who did nothing in 3 quarters.

  7. If we’re not gonna get rid of Tobi, we at least have to make his minutes earned, not given. No reason he should be playing 10 minutes per point he scored, we should absolutely not be afraid to have closing lineups without Tobi if he doesn’t have it (which he seems not to 50% of the time).

  8. When we are not playing bum teams we are gonna need another guy capable of scoring consistently. More than obvious Tobias is not that person and no amount of defense is going to balance that(his defense isnt even great)

    He’s such a cancer on this team. Constantly kills momentum with soft plays, never hustles, cant get a contested rebound even if it literallt falls into his hands…Get this man out of here or we’ll keep falling short, plain and simple

  9. I never want to see that ugly ass contested push shot by Embiid again. If he doesn’t have a pop or a lane, he’s got to reset.

    That kick to Oubre in the corner was nice. Still a long way to go as a passer before he can truly punish the attention he gets.

  10. 3 points in 31+ minutes making 39 million dollars. Tobias should have to do prison time for making this city watch him shit all over our eyeballs.

  11. didn’t watch the game… how tf did tobiASS only get 3 fucking points? boot his ass to the moon.

  12. Of all the vets to never sniff an NBA championship or finals, Tobias Harris is by far the most deserving.

  13. Idk how Morey calls himself an analytics guy but still has Tobias and Pat Bev on the team. It legit makes no sense

  14. 90% of the comments about Tobias. Just don’t be upset when we still come up short and we’ve booted him off the team

  15. Harris, Melton and Batum took a combined 12 shots. They were basically watching Embiid and Maxey play most of the night

  16. So tired of watching Embiid get panicky and jack up quick bad shots when the game is on the line. The only one I’ve ever seen go in was the miracle in Toronto….Embiid panics way too much when it matters. You can just tell by the pace he is moving at with the ball in his hands that the pressure gets to him.

  17. This kind of game made me think maybe we should throw the kitchen sink at getting Lauri Markkanen. On paper, other teams can outbid us for sure. But the only team in a contending tier that has the assets is OKC. Teams not competing may not be as eager to pull the trigger on him for that price tag. In my eyes, it’s either two very high level role players or Markkanen. But I also just badly want an upgrade on Tobias.

  18. Is there a reddit filter I could use to block the constant churn of Tobias hate posts? I hate people who thrive on whining. Alternatively, can we start calling out fans that aren’t good fans, like Seinfeld heckling office workers?
