OT: My Sixers, Oy

[NJCardFan]

0-15 and they've looked worse than their record. I've rooted for some bad teams in my day but this is the worse.

Papa John's does this promotion where you can 50% off the day after the local team wins (Phillies, Hershey Bears, Sixers, etc.) It is so bad that they changed it for the Sixers so that ALL they have to do is score 90 points, and not even actually win a game.

I still don't know why they blew everything up- they had a nice, young team. I also don't understand what they are thinking- I am all for tanking fully when rebuilding, but this is beyond that. I would be surprised if there is one single person in that organization who knows what the hell they are doing. Oddly enough, people are still showing up to their games.

That's pretty sad about the Papa Johns promo. I use that offer all the time here. Also, I've been on a minor league team and our record was 15-68 or something like that and it is such a bad feeling knowing you are going to get beat everytime you play. Plus, it caused some serious locker room problems. No one likes to lose, even if you are making millions.

They're using Hershey and not Lehigh Valley? Strange considering the Phantoms are the Flyers' farm team.

The Sixers are bad statistically but not that much worse than the Lakers. Defensively they are only 2% worse than average but offensively they are 20% below average - no one else is close to that mark on O. The Lakers are the worst defensively - 23% worse than average. Their closest competition is Cle and Min at 10% below average.

The Suns are currently 1% below average offensively and 4% above average defensively - hows that for a surprise?

I think it depends on the area. I am closer to Hershey, so my local stores use the Bears. Not sure what they do in other areas.

'Reminds me of the tour of the Hershey factory -- the original one back in the day, where you walked by an actual vat (a plexiglass enclosed room) filled with chocolate being processed. At the end of the tour, you were dying for a piece of chocolate. And they gave you one Hershey's Kiss. Then out came the credit card.

I ultimately toured the later version with the Disney-like recreation of the factory.

I have since graduated to one square of Ghirardelli Intense Dark Midnight Reverie 86% cacao per day. Real chocolate, fills the craving and good for the heart.

But, oh, that vat of milk chocolate in Hershey, PA.

Funny. I've been to the RV show there twice and never been to the factory.

 

[sunsfan88]

They finally won.

 

[Azlen]

They finally won.

They only scored 88 in doing so though so I wonder if the Papa John's discount will apply.
