Can we not argue that 'The Process' was a success as it yielded us -
The most gifted big man of All-Time who is the MVP this year and is the most unstoppable force in the NBA
and
A Swiss Army Knife who is the Defensive Player of the Year this year and can play anywhere on the court 1-5 and thinks pass 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th who is a wizard with the ball in his hands in transition who is pretty much a maestro on the court conducting an orchestra?
With these 2 additions 'The Process' yielded us it in turned yielded a HOF coach to come here and also a HOF Exec to keep this ball rolling as we have become one of the most attractive destinations in the league?
Can we not argue that Stew?  I guess it has netted you guys some good players, but you don’t really have a lot to show for it so far, do ya? Simmons and Embiid might be skilled (more so Embiid), but how far have you guys gotten? Not even to the Conference Finals. Not even a bridesmaid. I wouldn’t mind seeing the 76ers win it all, but I’ll won’t put my hopes on them as they always disappoint. Till they’re actually hoisting the banner and trophy I’ll assume that they’ll get stomped by the Celtics or the Heat in the first or second round. Ben missed last years playoffs
The playoffs before when the Raptors went on to win the title -
Can we not argue that Kawhi's shot that knocked the Sixers out was arguably the greatest shot in NBA history?
Who knows what may have happened if we took that game

The fact that your two superstars are always hurt can't really be used as an argument in their favor, can it? Kawhi's shot was not the greatest shot in NBA history. Not even the top ten. You most likely lose the next round? The whole, "We would've won it all if we hadn't lost earlier," argument is rather silly.

Who were you referring to on the Warriors when you stated they drafted 2 generational talents?
You surely cannot be referring to Klay or Draymond can you?
I'll give you Steph but I'm scratching my head on who the 2nd is....

In other words - it can be argued......

Anything "can be argued", no matter how shortsighted. As you continuously demonstrate. *Braces self for middle school insult!*

Steph and Klay are the two greatest shooters of this era, an era which values shooting above all else. Arguing semantics over who's a generational talent is missing the point (or again, misdirection because you know I'm right). The point is that the Warriors built a mini-dynasty without going through some bullshit 'process.' They weren't great, they had some good drafts, they became great. It isn't magic and they didn't need to try to be terrible, which is an insult to the fans, in order to achieve their goals. Honestly I'm surprised you're saying we don't know. You're already handing the Sixers future titles, it's stunning you aren't handing them that one, too.

A Generational Talent is a talent that only comes along every generation

Klay is a tremendous player
An elite shooter
But that is pretty much his game
That is not 'Generational'

Sam was honest with everybody
He had a plan
Per BusinessInsider.com
"What we look at is, how do we add to what we're doing in a way that gets us closer to our goal? We don't think that it will necessarily be linear — that every year you will add five wins and after 10 years you will get to 50. That's not the way we think about the world. We think that it comes at fits and starts, and you have to be prepared to put yourself in a position that you might be able to make big leaps."
"We're focused on how to put the building blocks in place that have a chance to compete in May. Those teams win in the high-50s. They don't win in the teens and they don't add two or three wins a year and they don't add a win a month for a little while to try and get to where they're going. They get all the way to the 50s. And they get there usually on the backs of great players. We are still — as much as I've talked about how we make decisions and as much as I've talked about our organizational goals and our player development — it is a players-driven league, still. When we have a set of players that can carry us deep, that's the only way, that's the only way to get where we're going."
"We will not bat a thousand on every single draft pick. We also have them by the bushelful, in part, because of that. We don't have any hubris that we will get them all right. We're not certain that we have an enormous edge over anybody else. In some cases, we might not have an edge at all."

But how can anyone differentiate when you say the same thing every year? And why does it matter what you believe if you're usually wrong??? Rey is right. Just discuss sports honestly. Who the fuck are you to tell me what to discuss
'Just discuss sports honestly'
What am I talking about baking a fucking cake? It is sports.
'Why does it matter what you believe'?
It shouldn't matter to you. I'm a fucking stranger on an internet message board.
But obviously it does matter to you as you put your fingers on the keyboard and respond (like clockwork)
Funny how that works, eh?

You did not believe a Simmons-less Sixers team down 3-0 to the Celtics last year was going to come back and win the series. To say it was ridiculous. |

I'm a fan who believes in my team

Nobody ever thought a #16 seed would take down a #1 during March Madness

True, but imagine being a 16 seed every year and proudly declaring to anyone and everyone that your team is going to win this year. You can be loyal and hope that your teams will win, but there's nothing wrong with being a realist. |
