It's going to be an issue this year for sure. I think there was a Brown or Noel quote today about how they need to learn from it, and that pissed me off because that was something we should have learnt after the Miami game.
Yet, this season and the last 2 before it are an inevitable consequence of wanting to build something great down the road and when/if that happens, the team will look completely different with a new identity. Hence why I don't believe the losses now are going to be an engrained fixture of Philadelphia basketball in the future.
Also a side note (me venting really), but if people have an issue with how the Sixers are rebuilding in the sense that they don't think that it will work, then that's completely fine. I myself can't say that it will work for sure, but I can live with it and feel that it's more preferable than repeating the alternative for another decade.
What pisses me off are when people act as if its an affront to basketball, and that there are simple and holier-than-thou ways to winning a championship. As if being a middle of the pack team for years on end is more noble than being a bottom of the table team for a few years.
Some people don't want Simmons to come to Philly because of what we're doing. Everyone's entitled to their opinion or whatever, but just * off. And then there's people who feel sorry for Okafor and Noel.
I thought this tweet from Ja's dad summed it up pretty well.
Anyway end rant, love and Porzingis y'all.
