I’m starting to really feel for Philly fans. I get that they’re going to be good in the future (at least, that’s the plan), but damn, how much fun could it possibly be watching your team lose night after night with no reprieve. It’ll take a couple chips to undo the amount of bad will the 76ers organization is earning from the average Philadelphia sports fan. The diehards will be fine, I guess. They had already rationalized this outcome years ago; they’re still good for another couple years of full-on tanking madness.
It’s going to really suck when the Bucks win the lottery causing the 76ers to miss out on Ben Simmons. Zhou Qi just doesn’t seem as dynamic a prospect. Oh well, there’s always next year. And the next, and the next…
