What the Sixers are risking right now is not people being mad, it's people not caring. It's irrelevance. It hasn't been that was since the start of the rebuild. Trust me, this city moves very quickly past anger and into "I don't care" for every team but the Eagles.

In 4 seasons Carson Wentz has ZERO playoff wins, 48 regular season fumbles. He is 7-20 vs teams over 500. He has no heart no desire to win. His teammates hate him. He has started 5-6 in 3 of his first 4 seasons. Eagles are 24-6 in their last 30 games with Nick Foles.

This Sixers era is a lot like the Walking Dead. Nobody is enjoying it anymore. It's not all that interesting. But we've all spent ten years watching it so it's too late to leave and miss the ending (even though we know it won't end in a satisfying way).

If I do not make it past hip surgery today, my final message is I love you, spend time with your friends and family, but also I was right about Ben Simmons the entire time.

I am excited to start the show with @Ike58Reese and @JackFritzWIP. No two people I'd rather do a show with. It'll be great to come home. I'm eternally grateful for Chris who hired me at @WFAN660, and our team here who accepted me as part of it. I am proud of what we do, how we.

Embiid has been the best player in the NBA this season. Beat Jokic head to head (again). Stan Van Gundy is a loser. Added bonus: no issues against the blitz tonight.

The Sixers absolutely must keep McCain in the starting lineup when Maxey returns. And for whatever value there is in declaring one of them the point guard, it should be McCain.

If we are going to trade for Buddy Hield, I would prefer it's just the first deal of more. If there's even a chance Embiid is back, you go all in. No half measures. Also, farewell Furk, a true Sixer. And farewell Marcus "The Key" Morris, truly FROM HERE.

Wemby is like 9 feet tall and Embiid has him FROZEN on midrange jumpers. Embiid is just shooting right over him. It's wild.

The Magic game broke me. No more ramping up. No more Nurse being pissy at the media. No more second half sloppy passes and lack of urgency (which is a reflection on Nurse). Gotta start winning games or you'll wake up much further behind. Have to win tonight.

Bill Barnwell says the Eagles are the most frustrating team in the NFL, and you guessed it, it's the fans fault! It was also the fans who got Andy Reid fired, not going 4-12.

BREAKING: 76ers star Joel Embiid — the reigning MVP — will undergo a procedure this week to repair a left meniscus injury, a team official tells ESPN. A recovery timeline is expected after procedure, but expectation is that he will miss an extended period of time.

Tyrese Maxey is the first guard Embiid has played with who can take advantage of both pick and roll/pop with Embiid and the DHO stuff. Of course, Ben Simmons, the primary ball handler for several years could do neither.

Just so we are clear, the @ Denver games that Embiid missed in 20-21 and 21-22 (he played in 19-20) were both in stretches where he missed 9 consecutive games due to injury.

It was me. I was the snitch. Now that it's solved can the Sixers simply win one NBA game in regulation before the All-Star break?.

Nobody gives worse quotes than Joel Embiid. 30 years old and still with this shit. Totally immature, not self aware. Amazing that he and Harper are the same age and handle things completely opposite. Grow up.

An atrocious performance, effort and energy from the sixers. And quite honestly forcing the Embiid 30-10 is loser behavior. This one has to be a one night situation.

Dan here shows a misunderstanding of why Shane Gillis is popular. He is not popular because he got fired or canceled. He is popular because he's incredibly funny and people like him. He is successful in spite of getting fired not because he got fired.
“Now, the show that fired him for some slurs that were in his podcast past is bringing him back as host and needs him more than he needs them.”. Dan and @pablotorre discuss cancel culture in comedy as Shane Gillis returns to host SNL five years after being fired from the show.

The number of Philadelphia sports fans who do not understand how much worse it is if the Knicks win for us than the Celtics is astounding. It is not 1982. Live in today. I promise you won't want even more chesty Knicks fans. They're the one universal team in NY.

Just finished last night's game and just unable to figure out how the Sixers won that. Unreal game from Maxey, big moments from Pat Bev, and I continue to be a wholehearted Marcus Morris guy. If the Sixers had a wide open shot to win the NBA Finals I'd pick Morris to shoot it.

For the up and coming Takesmen out there: JJ Redick and Game Seven Harden are proof that if you have a deeply held belief in a take, do not abandon it in tough times. You will be rewarded for sticking to something you believe in.

Nothing more exciting than a package including Randle, Barrett and Fournier. Where do I sign up?.
The New York Knicks are willing to offer a package that includes three key players, with Julius Randle, R.J. Barrett, Evan Fournier and Mitchell Robinson all available in exchange for Joel Embiid, according to sources. A trio from that group would be paired with two or three.
