@SpikeEskin Do you think the Sixers front office ever paused to consider why one of the best run organizations in the league wanted to trade for McCain?

Jared McCain in Game 2: 18 points in 18 minutes Sixers bench in Game 2: 15 points in 56 minutes

@legsanity I’m sure it’s happened, but I cannot recall another time when a “good” team traded a young / cheap player to a “great” team for picks. It’s alarming the juggernaut Thunder saw a role for McCain right away while the middling Sixers couldn’t get him consistent minutes.

again, it's not about trading McCain. it's that they dumped him, after Jo publicly asked for them to not duck the tax again, to duck the tax again and didn't make a subsequent move. him playing well just makes it worse.

@PHLY_Sixers @KyleNeubeck 100. This is on Morey and ownership. And not just at deadline … resigning Lowry and Gordon last summer. Drafting 33 year old Johni Broome who is not an NBA player. Curiously deciding to punt on the margins bit them in the ass.

"This is a game you lost at the trade deadline." 🗣️ -@KyleNeubeck breaks down the Sixers' game 2 loss to the Knicks

@dan_wilson4 @SportsRadioWIP Morey - a guy who people think wins around the edges - has compiled the worst bench in the league. Kyle Lowry is older than Kerry Kittles and he’s still better than 4 guys on our bench. His only good decision was not paying Grimes.

All that to run out of gas after 44 minutes.

@Liberty_Ballers Indictment on Morey to have such a feckless bench. Grimes hasn’t been good and he’s the only non big who gets any burn

The Sixers are 1-for-7 from 3PT in Q4... and a lot of them have been very good, very open looks. A brutal time to go cold from long range.

@big_business_ Holy hell he’s really delusional. He thinks it’s a conspiracy theory that the refs called a small percentage of his many obvious offensive fouls.

Jaylen Brown GOES OFF on the NBA Refs and says they had an agenda against him throughout the Sixers vs Celtics series: “They clearly had an agenda, maybe because I spoke so critical on them in the regular season” “I actually spoke to some refs and they told me there’s an agenda going on each game every time Jaylen puts his hands up just call it”

@letitflyely They showed the replay of the Embiid “technical” 34 times and never once commented on Brown putting his head down and ramming into George. It looked like Daffy Duck in Space Jam

The announcers were so pro celtics it was kinda cringe. They said that "embiid better be careful he doesn't get a second technical" when this occurred. No more than 20 minutes prior they said the Celtic player did a "vet move" standing over another player after he fouled him ????

@Philly__Nation Harris had as many points for the Sixers yesterday as he did in his last Game 7 against Boston

Game Sevens from Tobias and Harden today. Potentially an insane hate watch on the horizon.

@KorverAintMe Actually two of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. Brown’s offensive bag is basically WWF. Ran over George full steam

One of the worst calls in NBA history, no doubt

@APH00PS Has he tried committing more offensive fouls ? Maybe some two handed shoves

Crazy stat: Jaylen Brown has now recorded a negative net rating swing in six of his nine playoff appearances. For most of his career, the Celtics have statistically been a better team when he is off the floor.

@DavidEarly @Liberty_Ballers It’s absolute insanity this isn’t called as an offensive foul every time. It’s his only move. Well except the bull rush he put on Paul George.

If Embiid misses time vs. Knicks with this scary knee injury, fans can wonder why refs determined to *green*light Jaylen Brown’s patented elbow shiver.

@KevinOConnor Another forearm shiver from Brown.

Joel Embiid, man… what a moment

@legsanity And throwing defenders across the court with his off hand

man Jaylen Brown was just throwing shit up there and it was going in. same with Queta lol.

@mdschaeff @RealMattCarey This is a pretty fair take. I wouldn’t add assets to deal him, but hard to argue that the specter of Embiid hanging over the franchise has been good for anyone.

@RealMattCarey That’s up to the GM. I know as a fan I don’t really see the point of a part time center who isn’t what he once was. The sooner they can build around Maxey and VJ, the better

Such a disingenuous take. What do those 40 games do for you? Nothing. Why does anyone want to go through this again?

@TheGoodPhight @SciarrinoMario This is legit gaslighting

@SciarrinoMario You want them to enter a rebuild while they have prime Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, Cris Sanchez and others with young top prospects like Painter and Crawford up because of a slow first 20 games while the weather is 45 degrees Seek help

This fanbase is lost It’s April holy shit

@ZBerm How do you reconcile your above with how the Eagles run certain routes at the highest rate in the NFL and also utilize certain concepts at the lowest rate? And that these extremes exist across multiple seasons and OCs? Hard to see how Hurts’ preferences aren’t limiting

Re: Jalen Hurts' preferences in the offense — It's often interpreted as a negative, but one thing I've heard with him is that he's wanted to build more equity in the offense. He knows the OC role is a revolving door — when they win big, that coach gets poached; when they underachieve, the coach gets replaced — and Hurts' presence is the constant. He's wanted to take more on, but he's also felt empowered to (and I'm using his words from before the season here), "take the bull by the horns in terms of what we are and who we are offensively.” ...That's obviously going to need to evolve in 2026 with a new scheme. But I don't think a QB being rigid with certain concepts is necessarily a negative. It's often what QBs in place for a long time do.

@ZBerm @AdamSchefter Two days ago you said $15-16mn per !!! Though full details won’t be out for a bit, this now seems like a massive overpay….

Jordan Davis agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Eagles worth $78M with $65M, per league source. (As @AdamSchefter reported.) Davis is now under contract through 2029.

Even with the addition of Tionne Gray from Oregon, fellow defensive tackle Sean Sevillano Jr. remains the heaviest player on the Notre Dame football roster. He's 6-2 and 342 pounds. on3.com/teams/notre-da…

@NR_Garrett @thomasrp93 Unless the tea leaves played zone …

@thomasrp93 The only person that would benefit would be the head coach to preserve what literal remaining power that he has. Jalen hurts is smart enough to read the tea leaves if I’m him I go to the owner.

How odd that Eagles start OC interviews, and immediately "sources" say SB MVP Hurts can't run an offense, nobody likes him, and AJ asked for trade 10 times... Anybody can leak these stories to paint a bad picture, hoping to scare coaches away from Philly. #Eagles

@BleedingGreen Are we definitely considering Sirianni as our head coach?

Eagles will reportedly consider Kliff Kingsbury, Kevin Stefanski for offensive coordinator job bleedinggreennation.com/philadelphia-e…
