Jerry West lived a profound basketball and American life — iconic as a player, executive and looming figure in the history of the game. He was an MVP, a champion, a gold medalist, a dynasty-builder and literally the league’s logo. His loss leaves a massive void.

@gordonwjones My career!

Preferably one who scores more than zero points in a closeout game

Another lost 76ers season. The Process failed. For those that are optimistic, do you trust Morey? That's the $64,000 question.

Kyle Lowry shouts out fellow #NovaMBB Legends, Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson: "They did their job in this series. As a fellow Wildcat, I'm proud of them and I have big love for those guys." #OnceAWildcatsAlwaysAWildcat

But Morey is in charge. Good luck.

A lot of articles today start with something such as ‘while The Sixers lost’…listen, there are always positives to take out odds anything, but when they become repetitive, that is not the way to be. The Sixers lost, period. Eleven years, and not to the conference finals.

The number of D-1 men’s basketball players in the portal since it opened on March 18: 1,882

@DrBrianMcD Thank you ... always nice to hear!

@AndyJasner Andy, I am sure you know this quite well but your Dad was a great writer and an even better person.

My father always taught me to focus on the present but always looking one step ahead. Do the Sixers have enough left in the tank on Thursday?

My bad.

Maybe fans will now appreciate what I said last week on @SportsRadioWIP.after Tyrese Maxey 46 points in Game 5.

@timbo202020 @jollywipradio Tobias hasn't been good enough. Everyone sees that. Buddy Hield has been invisible. Paul Reed is overmatched. Star players carry teams. If Embiid was 100 percent, I think the Sixers would be at least in the EC Finals. He's not healthy.

@jollywipradio @AndyJasner And we paid him 39 million to do it!

Joel Embiid simply cannot criticize the fans. The optics are so bad here.

@timbo202020 @jollywipradio Everyone needs to be better. Obviously. But if you're criticizing Nic Batum or Cam Payne, that's not logical. Embiid is the face of the franchise. He's not healthy. It's really as simple as that.

@AndyJasner @jollywipradio If you need one player to score 50 points to win a game in the first round of the nba playoffs, not ideal! I’ll criticize the players that didn’t step up (or simply get a rebound) over the ones that carried the entire load on offense

@timbo202020 @jollywipradio Yes, they need more from Embiid and Maxey. That's not unreasonable. Embiid's knee is clearly hurting. Look at his fourth quarter numbers.

@AndyJasner @jollywipradio Luckily Embiid put up MVP numbers (35, 9 and 5) this series. Still down 3-1. Meanwhile, Celtics had 74(!) points from players other than JT/JB in game 1. Tatum and brown just 40 points combined and they won by 20. Now fans asking for more from Embiid/Maxey? That’s…. interesting

@timbo202020 @jollywipradio If you're talking about KJ Martin and Ricky Council IV, well, the Sixers aren't going anywhere. None of this matters without Embiid being healthy and playing like an MVP.

@AndyJasner @jollywipradio Agree with that but I think KJ Martin and Council IV showed some worth at the end of the season while Tobias played like crap since ~December. They tried to ignore and sweep it under the rug and it cost us BIG time. He couldn’t even get a rebound. Martin/Council way more athletic

Joel Embiid 4th quarter rebounds: Game One: 0 Game Two: 0 Game Three: 1 Game Four: 1

@timbo202020 @jollywipradio There wasn't much choice with Hield benched and Melton not really healthy and Reed being terrible and Batum struggling ... well, you get the point.

@AndyJasner @jollywipradio The Sixers simply cannot give Tobias Harris 35 minutes per night against the knicks since he can’t make open shots or rebound. The optics would be so bad

@bicycle2552 @inkstainedretch Not blaming Reed. He's just not a good player.

@inkstainedretch @AndyJasner The whole team blows when Joel is off the floor you can’t just blame Paul Reed

Paul Reed is so bad that Nick Nurse felt he had to play his one-eyed, one-legged center the entire second half. #Sixers
