You’re doing a lot. Let’s focus on RJ and my posts concerning him. I don’t talk about those other guys bc they weren’t first rounders with as much expected of them.
you're doing too much off one guy and ignore the other trash takes you have. obi was a lottery pick. the way some of yal talk about quickley draft position be damned he should be a star right? maxey only went a few spots before him should we temper expectations of him too?
RJ has 3 seasons of mendoza level 40 percent shooting.

Lol. What are we not seeing, bruh.
Quickley hasnt shot 40 percent period and he's supposed to be a sniper.
cam reddish has 3 years of low iq, low motor, low efficiency play and you nikkas will turn around and embrace him as a savior
you nikkas are corny and have no type of semblance of objectivity
consistently ass takes abound

What 8th pick in the NBA has ever been looked at with the same expectations as a top 3 pick? :ohhh: Stop being obtuse, RJ was drafted with franchise player hopes l, Obi wasn’t. Quick was a damn 25th pick. When have I ever said Quick should be a damn All Star? :dead:

You’re making up arguments I sure as hell didn’t say, just to skirt around the fact the RJ is t living up to expectations. You’re resorting to comparing him to lesser valued players.

Y’all doing alot with RJ… he dominated the preseason and has a terrible first game on the road defending Ja the second? Best pg in the league and now he’s a bum who’s not worth his contract? Let’s settle down a bit.

You cats in here overreacting about RJ :comeon: it’s one game.

shyt is hilarious, let them get they shyt off.

It's actually been 3 years of not being able to give a top pick the ball at the end of a game in any situation.

He's a role player. Almost anybody can score 20 if you give them 35mpg.
statistically hes one of the most clutch players in the NBA. we gave the ball to him down the stretch a few times last year and he won games for us.

I would've traded Barrett for Mitchell I was thirsty for that trade but this is one game, in a career where he's been up and down admittedly but all that means is he can go either way with his progression this year. Lets wait a few more games to see what direction he trends in at least.

Philly overpaid him just like we are with RJ. Simple analogy. You’re being a RJ apologist which kinda makes you more of a weirdo tbh. It’s not just one game, we have a few seasons of data now. When do the excuses stop? :manny:

It's a pretty bad analogy respectfully

Tobias is being paid like a #1 option, RJ's contract is nowhere in the same ballpark

This is what it comes down to. I’ll ride with you if you tell me RJ can be a solid role player on a good team. But then I look at his draft position and it’s crazy to me how you can look at his role and production on this team and not think bust.

Actually it's not just 1 game. We've seen the inconsistency and slow starts every year of his career. We were just hoping to see RJ come out on fire for a change and look like he's really ready to go to another level. This game reminded us we're likely in for more of the same RJ we already know. We wanted to stop wishing the Mitchell trade went down.

Looking at the play again, i think it was supposed to go to Evan and Cam said fukk it… it was the right move since he was wide the fukk open but Evans reaction tells me everything.
He's tired of Thibs low balling him. Rightfully so and same with Obi everytime they fuq up. Coach needs to be fired. I'm glad Randle stepped up but I'm not on the hype train and prepared for the inevitable. Obi needs equal minutes and I just hope Randles trade value goes up so we can package him with IQ and Fournier then give Cam the bag and get another star. Team won't see its full potential with Thibs here though.

Literally does nothing well.

Thibs has to play this guy because of contract while Obi and Sims gotta rot on the bench. Lml.
Thibs gives a lot of bums a longer leash when there's guys shriveled up with talent on the bench for political gains. This shiit has to stop. Team could be alot better than it is if it wasn't for the politics of making this a Randle/RJ team and actually giving everyone an equal leash.
