I feel this deeply. They fought hard, didn’t fold in instances when they would have every other year, and didn’t make me feel like an idiot for cheering for them. This was the year, I think next year will be too. I feel more optimistic about them than I have in years. And the vibe upgrade from doc to Nick, and Ben/harden to maxey can’t be put into words. And Joel not folding is sadly very important to my psyche, so that was very big.
I knew the loss was coming yesterday even when the Sixers led in the 2nd half. I didn't feel anger or annoyance like I did after Game 4 as I was appreciative of the team showing a determination and spirit that has not been evident in the past (except perhaps when it came to securing defensive rebounds, but I digress).
I'm interested to see how Morey remakes this roster without having a gun being held to his head by one of the team's stars demanding a trade.
Thanks to you, Mike, CJ, AU, MOC, DO and everyone else who makes the RTRS so much fun.
Damn, I feel way better than usual after Sixers elimination season?
Partially it's the roster overhaul that is inevitably happening, but mostly, Joel didn't shit the bed and that feels awesome. You articulated this feeling so well. Thanks for the pods (I will never listen to last night's but I never listejn to elimination episodes) and shout out to the whole crew for being awesome as always (special props to the Danny cuz he' s new). Im looking forward to a drastically new team next year, instead of dreading the summer sixers discourse and that feels brand new
I'm in a similar boat. I joked with my wife that, if we miraculously won game 5, we'd play the most dogshit game of basketball you've ever seen in your life game 6. Someone would forget how to shoot a basketball, Tobias Harris would get stuck in the Suez Canal, it would be a bunch of unwatchable horseshit, and we'd lose 72-110. This did not happen and we fought until the end. We lost like a normal basketball team loses, and not like a joke of a franchise does. It is what it is. TTP.

God, this loss sucked, but also...
