IheartVolt Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 I think this is the longest thread I have ever seen here. Full of whining and belly-aching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 I have decided that as long as we're going to get an unproven coach, that I'm thinking why not bring in Kevin Willis to coach the young guys. At least he's terrifying when he yells and few people will ever equal his work ethic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB21 Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) 5 years of misery just to get ousted in the 2nd round. Tanking doesn't work. And now the Hawks are going to hire their head coach from this pathetic organization. Edited May 10, 2018 by KB21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just swallow your pride already you sound ridiculous. These young guys made it to the 2nd rd and lost to a very well coached, deep, and talented Celtics team. Not only that..it’s clear the edge in this series was NOT talent, but experience. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embiid was drafted in 2014, and while he hasn't even played a full season's worth of games in his career, he has been in the league and already has a second contract. Simmons is a 2nd year player who was with the team last year even if injured. Even then, you are still talking about a "process" that netted 253 losses over a 4 year period and only has two players to show for it. Now if you want to act like this process started 2 years ago, then I don't know what to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn’t for injuries, they’d probably arrived here sooner. Now they are primed to be title contenders for the next 5 years. They are literally ONE lead dog (PG-13 or otherwise) from being legitimate contenders with young pieces to leverage in trades. P.S. Those 2 players are looking like shoe-ins to be Top 10 players over the next 5-7 seasons. Talent matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the actual Philly fans I know were excited as much as 2/3 seasons ago since they knew what the potential was going to be with Embiid. Even now, I think I'm more excited about the Hawks than I have been since the 60 win season. Don't make it out like everyone is miserable bro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
