The Sixers are not cooking. What would be the opposite of cooking? Burning? That sounds good. Yeah. That actually fits the Sixers these days.
Yeah. The Sixers lost again. Their loss Sunday makes it SIX straight losses. They are just simply not talented enough these days with George and Embiid, Embiid in particular, never playing. It's just been a worse case scenario season for the Sixers. Not much good to even say. It's frustrating to watch.
As optimistic as I was about Paul George, deep down, I kind of saw this coming. George is a good player, but I honestly get the vibes he's just content with collecting a check. Maybe I'm ungrateful, and that's rude to say but I just don't have a great feeling about him. He'll be 35 in May and he doesn't seem to be aging gracefully in NBA terms. Peak Paul George was an Indiana Pacer a decade ago. I feel like he's been living well off of those years ever since. He's like an Aaron Rodgers of the NBA. All numbers with little competitive spirit.
When it comes to Embiid I am just at a loss.
Look, if I were as rich as these dudes, it's hard to say how I would be handling it. Meh.
It's just copy paste night in and night out when it comes to the Sixers' struggles this season. The only hot topics these days are who the Sixers should or should not trade.
Doesn't seem like the Sixers are going to see much mercy tonight as they'll be in Denver tonight to face the champs from two years ago and the great Jokic. Not to mention Westbrook and Murray and well, the whole team!
I'm just going to look at the Sixers as underdogs. If they were to win somehow tonight, it would be insane.
Tough times but still.
