it really is truly hilarious how terrible the Sixers are and how they embarrass themselves every year. words can’t describe how pathetic and incompetent this franchise is. younger me would be more upset after a loss like this but i’m older now and i’m used to it so idrc.
Once handed my 7 y/o Pokémon collecting niece my TCG binders and told her to pick 2. Dozens of cards among them worth a hair-curling amount of cash.
She pored over those binders for hours, a wonderous sparkle in her eyes. She wasn't thinking anything about their value or what she could sell them for in 5 years. She was genuinely enamored with the cards themselves, to the point that her final choices amounted to a paltry $30 out of my pocket.
Had she asked for a grail, it would be hers. Instead, she chose cards that seemed interesting to her own tastes. A priceless experience I was glad to share with her.
The worst thing anyone could have done that day was talk about "investments" and "value". A cheap lesson about "asset management" would have prematurely scarred the pure and whimsical attitude she held towards the hobby.
I’m not sure what’s worse :
-Mazzulla starting 3 end of bench guys and none of them scoring a single point
-Bricking 5 open looks in a row down 1
-Tatum filming multiple docuseries about his heroic comeback only to sit out a game 7 with knee stiffness in his other leg
Brutal
Tatum been blessed with demonic role players his entire career to the point where he can dig in his ass for an entire game and show up for 5 minutes and be seen as a “winner”
