Turns out even being on the Eagles has not stopped me from feeling happy when I see Saquon having success (and boy did he have a game yesterday). I hope he wins the MVP, makes it to the Super Bowl, and they lose in heartbreaking fashion.
I feel like this Giants season is heading to an absolutely inevitable conclusion: they will win one meaningless game that drops them from first to third in the draft, then mortgage the farm to trade up two spots.
Tonight’s game is a good measuring stick if KAT plays. I care more about how we play than whether we win or lose.
Speaking of Philadelphia!! How about Donnie’s Sixers? Aka, “still the second best team in the East,” according to Pags.
Did you know… not only is this team 3-13 but they don’t even compete in their losses. Their losses are blowouts. And their wins? Two of them were in overtime. Their -8.6 differential is worse than only the Jazz, Pelicans, and Wizards.
There was a fun story about Embiid over the weekend, too. After the team meeting, they’re playing Memphis. Game is at 7. First team bus leaves at 5. Every other player on the Sixers is on it. Second team bus leaves at 5:15. All the trainers and staff are on it. Embiid leaves the hotel at 6pm for a 7pm game. This is the day after he gets called out in the team meeting for being late. Sixers get blown out, and Embiid is shut down after the game for “injury management” (which could also be seen as being benched for not giving a fuck).
The fact that people are even leaking these stories says a lot about the man.
And if he doesn’t play… it’s Sims time! 😛
I’m in need of a win tonight, because my beloved FCPorto is on a 3 game losing streak, which we didn’t have since 2008, and if we lose the next one we’ll tie a record from… 1965!? 🙁
Go FCPorto!
If you come to Porto and there’s a game at the time, we can go watch the game live and you’ll see how beautiful our stadium is. 😉
And hopefully the team is playing a lot better, of course. 😀
Hey Geo, everything alright? antipioneer looked like a new poster to me, and you didn’t ask him personal questions to know more about him? 🤭😜
About yesterday’s thread, i think it’s fair to say things as they are, but to want to trade Mikal after 16 games i read it as a joke. We need to work on this team, and not to keep trading players for new players.
Maybe Mitch/Precious can solve this problem, at least in part. If we play a rim protector more, KAT will be at the 4 more and someone has to go to the 2nd unit a lot more time than now. I’d suggest it to be Mikal. Let him be the go-to man on the 2nd unit and we’ll see if he gets back his confidence. He can still start, if the FO needs to save face, and Hart comes from the bench, but then Mikal plays a lot more time with the 2nd unit and Hart plays more with the 1st unit.
Injuries were always the major risk to the 76ers, but if we were missing some combination of KAT, Brunson and OG almost every night we’d be 2-13 with a -8 SRS too.
Don’t get me started today, Cyber. I went back to cappuccino this morning.
If after watching this team for 16 games, your certified conclusion is that we need Mikal Bridges more than a full time rim protector who can contribute positively on offense, you are in no position to be calling other people’s takes a joke.
Feel free to disagree, that’s what a forum is for. But you exhibit poor class coming on here and calling valid (and I think obvious) opinion “a joke”.
And the irony is you lob disrespectful grenades like that but you’re also one of the first and most frequent to complain when a thread doesn’t go the way you want it.
Sorry your football club is shit but don’t be a troll.
Just goes to show one the value of a top OL. on both 70 yard runs, no one touched Saquon.
Rather than trading up. they should do the opposite, trade down (unless they believe a true franchise QB is available, which doesn’t appear to be the case).
The Number 3 pick has a trade value of 2200 which is equivalent to the top FOUR picks in the second round. They have two all pro players at DT and at OT(Dexter and Thomas who would merit #1 picks in a trade signed for multiple years. Nabors might merit high compensation. Move them and trade down for more multiple 2nd and third round picks. They are valuable and I’d tear it down to the studs
Call up Belicheck and ask him how much he wants for 5 years to rebuild it from the bottom up.
What good is patience when you’re trying to fit a square peg into a round hole?
I have no doubt Bridges will get better but we brought him here to be the Brooklyn Bridges. Then before we even got to training camp we scrapped that plan and brought in Towns to be the #2 option. That was the mark of impatience.
Now suddenly we want him to be the Phoenix Bridges again, but I’m not sure we ever got his buy in on that. He’s a free agent in 18 months, do you really think he wants to stand in the corner on offense and guard the other teams’ best ballhandler every night? He’s a little overqualified to be Quentin Grimes.
We don’t need to be patient with our square peg. We should trade him for a round one.
Cyber – Hubert is quite salty lately. That’s not sugar in his cappuccino
I was downright gleeful this morning when I was talking about the 76ers.
PS – Don’t worry I am not going to repeat myself all day. I have meetings from 10am to 4pm.
Yeah, after Hubert’s take-down of one of our most pleasant posters on this site, I’m skipping his posts for the near and perhaps long term.
Cyber being a troll is perhaps the most absurd of his mostly absurdly hysterical takes.
We didn’t bring in Mikal to be Brooklyn Bridges on a team with Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle. He still would have been at most the #3 option on offense if we stopped there.
The Giants obviously getting buy in from the FO and the coaching staff to go full tank is a bit weird, that’s the thing you do when you think you’ll have a job next season, and I don’t know why they would want to keep the guys who built this team.
Disagree. It was the mark of an executive that believes in accumulating assets at value. The opportunity appeared to move DDV and Randle for a far better player and he did it. Simple as that.
He signed Brunson seeing his true value. He signed DDV buying him at a discounted (in his opinion) price. He swapped out RJ and IQ (two nice players, neither he was in love with) for a player he loved for clear reasons. Same with KAT.
It’s up to the coach to make it work, or for the FO to make another trade (Walt Bellamy and Howie Komives for Dave D or Cartwright for Oakley, that ushered in the two best ten year periods in Knick history.)
We were never going to stop there, though, DRed, because we didn’t want to pay Julius Randle. And I think it stretches credibility to suggest we gave up 5 first round picks without expecting him to be the player he was on Brooklyn.
