Please note that this video was in the process of being made before certain... events... occurred in the sports landscape. You can call that a nice pun, eh? Nah, not really.
It's no secret that The Process of the Philadelphia 76ers is now dead and buried in the ground. After years of hype and some promise in the current core, they are now locked in a very precarious situation. What caused it? What missteps were taken? Quite a lot, actually.
This video will try to explain everything that's happened in the past few years. Keyword here is try. - Sport
who is here after the 76ers won the 2021 title and finished the process
You weren't wrong: The Process is all but finished.
Ouch, way off like Ben Simmons jump shots 😂
Can’t do that with Doc Rivers as your coach and Ben Simmons as one of your “stars”.
You meant Clippers Suns bucks hawks?
@@UrinatingTree Ben Simmons is afraid to shoot
Sixers: "TRUST THE PROCESS"
Also Sixers: *become good and make the playoffs*
Rest of the NBA: "so what are you gonna do now?"
Sixers: "I don't know, I never thought I'd get this far"
"Hey we can get to the second round. Sometimes."
I would say "They're going to Disney World", but they lost there already 😂
I'm not even a 76ers fan and I still felt this
EDP JAWL WHACK DO!!! HE GAINING TO MUCH WEIGHT HOPE HE OK!!! SIXERS JAWL WHACK!!! JAWL HURR? AINT NO SLINKY LIBERAL GOWAN HAVE A PRIZE!!! YOU SEE!!! GO KNICKS!!! GO JETS!!! GO BIG MARKETS!!!
So basically the 76ers are the Sheldon Plankton of the NBA??
My favorite comments:
“who’s here after the sixers are 49-23 and first in the conference”
“Tree jinx”
“this aged poorly”
“the sixers are 1st in the east”
“who’s here after the sixers win the nba title and finish the process”
“Thanks Tree for Jinxing, now my sixers are NBA Title contenders”
*Don’t* Trust The Process
(INSERT URINATINGTREE LAUGH HERE)
The process never fails.
It always makes the 76ers worse

Lol
Facts
The Process has all but stalled in neutral and is about to roll backwards.
BRING OUT THE TANKS AGAIN
List of all events/scenarios that help killed the process
1. Firing Sam Hinkie
2. Markelle Fultz's shoulder going to shit (EDIT)
3. Kawhi's game winner in Game 7 of the 2019 ECSF
4. Signing Tobias Harris and Al Horford to max contracts
5. hiring an unqualified Elton Brand as GM
6. Bryan Colangelo being a fucking idiot
7. Ben Simmons not being able to develop a jumpshot
8. Getting rid of Jimmy Butler, Dario Saric, Landry Shamet, JJ Redick, and Robert Covington
9. trading for Josh Richardson
10. not signing a shooter during the 2019 free agency period
11. Ben Simmons not having the willingness to score with most opportunities (EDIT)
EDIT 2021: not trading Ben Simmons for James Harden.
Losing Covington is an underrated aspect, that guy is the prototypical 3 an D wing
OP sleeping on Robert Covington.
That man really was an underrated piece of the team.
Fultz was so surefire number 1pick. Only Boston didint want him. Everyone else would drafted fultz number1.
The 76ers were never going to get Tatum. The Celtics were willing to draft Tatum 1st
markelle didn’t necessarily help kill it. not every player is amazing from the start. fultz is becoming decent and only way up
“Ben Simmons is allergic to jump shots”
-tree
I just saw a video on Aaron Rodgers and why him and the Packers never became a dynasty. Someone commenting compared Rodgers to Simmons. That hurt!
@Matt Ludwig Ben Simmons is a fluke.
@@djtrankilo231 That's a little harsh.. They are nothing alike.
I see Ben Simmons being a taller Tony Allen. Great defender, can drive and score, but falls every else.
@@mike_tysons_lisp4248 Tbh I think they would be better just moving him back to the 4
This video is relevant once again! Thanks Philly for choosing Fultz over Tatum, we really do appreciate it 😂
Congrats you’ve done just a little better
For those who prematurely made fun of the video and thought the 76ers are ready for the championship.
Look at the next video
(Evil Leprechaun Laugh)
LOOK AT IT, LOOK IT AT YOU FOOLS!
"STOP IT, STOP IT PLEASE, I BEG YOU!"
but I lean down and I say...NO!
yall had Brooklyn tank for you and you are even worse.
For both Brooklyn and Phila fans. Should I remind you that The Celtics made it to The Eastern Conference Finals with a Rookie Head Coach
These comments are why you don't count your chickens before they hatch kids.
‘This group has some interesting pieces. Then before the starting lineup is revealed, half of the team is injured and they’re back to trusting the process again’
- UrinatingTree 2017-18 Hater’s Guide
As a sixers fan, I’m absolutely disgusted. We went so ass backwards. This process has been a complete failure
They couldn't find a Billy King to sucker which is why the Celtics are getting by. Billy King made Brad Stevens.
The process had promise, but the end result is the definition of "too many chefs spoil the broth".
@@martytu20 so true man
how is it the 76ers have won 1 more 2nd round playoff game in 8 years then they did in just 1 year in may 2012 when they lost in 7 and then blew it up for the process for 5 full years?...smdh....they suck!.....2012-2017 were all wasted years looking back..they should have a title team by now
As Sixers fans, we've been had.
the Halo: ODST music makes this so much better.
Glad somebody else noticed! How funny haha.
that OST is a gift to all humankind
SaxNinja “human kind” lmao
And the Persona 5 music. Tree has good taste
I was about to comment on that. You know it's gone bad for you when deference for darkness is being played in the background.
Btw does anyone else play this when it rains?
The more things change, the more things stay the same
Imagine seeing your team tank for years only to give terrible contracts to Tobias Harris and Al Horford
@Gerrit Durant It is, he should have gotten 20 mil max, he's getting 16 million more than that
I don't need to imagine it. It's a real life nightmare for me. So many years of tanking for absolutely nothing. I feel betrayed.
Literally ruined the process
Fingering Things ✔️ Horford is still a good bench piece but he does NOT deserve a big contract
that al horford contract is insane
Imagine having all the cap to sign Horford and Harris.At least Brett Brown is fired tho
they really thought horford plus richardson and harris at max mpney was better than butler and a underpaid harris lol
As a Knicks fan, I can imagine
Wtf is that link is that dutch
@@razkable think butler wanted to leave tho
You still have Embiid and Simmons though, who are also a big part of the problem and are made out of paper
"Philadelphia's issue is that they've had three completely differing visions." So, they have the same issue Star Wars had with its recent trilogy.
Literally the first thing I thought when he said that.
Y’all read my mind
That's not fair.
The Star Wars sequel had NO vision.
Who’s here after the 76ers lost AGAIN? In the 2nd round
Here again
Jimmy:"Tobias Harris over me!!!"
"Knights are amazing" lmfao
@@joeford5181 Tobias did get better after that, but his contract is still awful
I’m here again lol
I knew after the Kawhai shot was gonna impact the 76ers, but never this bad.
looking back if that shot missed man they could be set but instead they signed al hoford lol
Maybe if Kawhi had missed we wouldn't have covid and riots.
Man this is the worst timeline
@@razkable
If that shot missed, 76ers would have been the champions.
@@averymerrick I don't know, they would've gone to OT if Kawhi misses 'The Shot', and likely lose to the Raptors since Simmons and Harris were in foul trouble(both had 5 fouls heading into OT).
And it's going to get worse.
At least we have the Flyers: That's a sentence I never thought I would ever say but it's 100% true.
philly_sports yep. Also the Phillies have no bullpen and the Eagles are back to just a normal team
@YEGGERtalk A battle tested head coach in AV. A good goalie in Carter Hart. Young defensemen in Ivan Provorov, Travis Sanheim and Robert Haag and a good mix of young and veteran forwards.
Brennan McKinney The Eagles are great f hey stay healthy. That’s their only problem. And the Phillies need a couple more good pitchers and they’ll be golden. We are so close to being great in all three. But if the Eagles become regular again that’s fine, we got a ring. That’s more than the Sixers can say in the past 40-50 years. And the Phillies got one in ‘08.
Hope the Phillies have money left to keep JT Realmuto.
tommythetreat000 Not to mention we have Mike Yeo and Michel Therrien to add to probably the most experienced bench in the league. We still have are problems though. We lack speed and our veterans can be invisible at times.
Between you, scooter, grossi, perna, and 5points, you've quickly become my favorite presenter due to videos like this and the willingness to cover all 4 major north American sports leagues.
This is pure Irony. Ben Simmons shrinks like a man’s private when it’s cold outside
I’ve never been this early. And as a sixers fan, this is well deserved. Been saying for a while they were overrated
Brendan Reguera Tree was saying the same thing too
2019 was their chance
As a lifelong Sixers Fan, I laughed my ass off when Joshua Harris said that they had the best starting five in the NBA.
Double down, full rebuild, restart the process. 😂
They don't need it, the moment they actually stepped on court in 2021 they took over the East.
@@dusk6159 sorry man. Brooklyn owns the east now
@@Lucas-tx3rt I actually see the Nets superteam winning the East in a close series, but it's already impressive how the Sixers overturned all the casuals bs and are toe to toe with something like a superteam of KD, Harden and Kyrie with Harris, threes and defense around them.
@@dusk6159 the issue is these superteams get better, they will get better defenders like the heat got better shooting
@@Lucas-tx3rt really?
The problem is that we've got an inexperienced GM who's still learning, and an owner who cares more about owning as many teams as he can (he owns the Devils, and he's trying to buy the Mets!) rather than the success of our Sixers. If he cares that little about succeeding in Philadelphia, he needs to sell his stake in the team to someone who is passionate about winning! At least at this moment we can try to find a coach that can ignite a spark in this team
...and now he also wants to buy the Commanders, they are SO unlucky
The process of blowing a 26 point lead in the playoffs
Process of possible elimination by a 5 seed.
@@HugeStan920 Process of successful elimination by a 5th seed. Honestly, Clippers vs Suns and Hawks vs Bucks is the greatest final four scenario i’ve ever seen
@@obijuanquenobi1911 it is
What aged better:
This video, or all the comments from Sixers fans saying they are gonna win the title??
9 months ago, video. 9 months later, comments.
If the process hasn’t been dead after all of that, then maybe it is after blowing a 26 point lead and losing game 7 to the 5th seed of the Hawks.
Congrats sixers!
Here again after ANOTHER Second Round Exit. Jesus CHRIST
Another choke job, another 3-2 series blow out
Who is here after the Sixers lost to the Hawks as the #1 seed?
It was either us or Doc Rivers in game 7. The Basketball gods made their decision
The fact that people are saying "who is here again" every year since this released lmao.
Since 2018 when the 76ers emerged as a contender from the results of the Process they have been eliminated from the second round 5 times and got swept in round 1 once. They haven’t made it to the Conference Finals after winning 19, 18, 10, and 28 games and receiving several top 3 picks.
In that timespan, the Bucks have made it to 2 Conference Finals, an NBA Finals, and win a title without being at the bottom for 4 years.
The Heat stripped down an all time talented team with LeBron/Wade/Bosh and the 76ers helped them rebuilt by choosing Harris and Simmons over Butler. They have been to 3 Conference Finals, 2 NBA Finals, and a chance to win a title this year.
The Celtics had one losing season this entire span, and rebuilt from the Big 3 to this new core almost seamlessly. They have been to 5 Conference Finals and had a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals.
Hell, the Raptors have had more success than they have. The Process is dead.
“The process” destroyed the Knicks chance to ever rebuild. Can’t even be horrible and get a top pick anymore
May be they should learn how to develop talent and build a foundation to attract stars like the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat did. The Nets were in a far worse situation than the Knicks a few years ago after Billy King traded away all of those 1st round picks. And now they got Kyrie and KD. The current Heat squad isn't a list of top 10 draft picks and they are in the Eastern Conference Finals.
@@nick0875 At least the Knicks got into the playoffs this season. Better thing to say now than some of their past few seasons, that's for damn sure!
@@crazyluigi6664 The Knicks, for the first time in awhile, played a style of basketball that actually fits their personnel roster. Because they don't have a go to elite scoring option they played defensive focused basketball, controlling the pace and grinding out contests to take advantage of hot nights from their players and cold nights from their opponents. And that is a style that works, Eric Spolestra of the Miami Heat has coached that team in a similar style ever since Lebron left.
But before they get carried away with what success the team has had, the Knicks have some big questions to answer this offseason. Notably most of this roster is up for new contracts and the front office has a lot of cap space to work with. Minus Kawhi leaving the Clippers there isn't a huge star in free agency this year so Leon Rose and Tom Thibodeau have to pick carefully who they decide to both resign and bring in and what they pay them. The worst thing that they can do right now is get desperate and overpay players that aren't going to move the needle that much.
@@nick0875 Agreed. Meanwhile, my team just beat the Lakers, so it already feels like we won the NBA Finals today! That being said, I know we need to keep our focus in check. We did almost let the Lakers back in it for Game 6, and we definitely can't get sloppy against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets in the second round! Of course, the fact that we even beat L.A. this series means we do have a more confident outlook on ourselves against Denver, high altitude be damned.
@@crazyluigi6664 and now they're in the WCF
watching this in 2023.....this holds so much greater truth. The process has the 76ers by the highest of CHOKEholds
Trust the process.........
Of elimination
Also noticed that persona 5 piano music, good taste as always
amazing soundtrack and amazing video!
where is it
@@mmicb0b 7:25
Imagine taking Al Horford from Boston. their starting center and then getting swept by Boston with no Horford, seems like Horford did help Boston in the end lmao. Meanwhile the 2017 draft trade is the sole reason why Boston has a future and Philly does not
Erik Lerström Either way it should have not been a sweep
To be fair, it wasn’t actually the process anymore after Adam Silver sacrificed Sam Hinkie to the Basketball Gods and replaced him with the oversized collar of Bryan Colangelo. To me at least the process didn’t fail completely, but it was crashed before landing by Colangelo and Elton Brand. And the fact that Embiid can’t seem to put in an effort to get into shape.
He threatened the credibility of the league and got what he deserved.
Amal Guptan sure going out and saying that you’re full out tanking should never be a thing. But it’s not like he was the first GM to ever tank. But I’m simply saying Hinkie was actually on the right track. What is going to ruin the team moving forward is mainly the Tobias Harris contract and other mismanagement by the GMs who followed Sam Hinkie. And of course like I said Embiid never being in shape.
Erik Lerström yeah exactly the process worked out fine. It’s not the fault of the process that Bryan Colangelo traded up for Markele Fultz when he could have gotten Tatum etc
Amal Guptan Hinkie saved the sizers, sure they publicly tanked but he’s the reason why the sixers are even in the playoffs
Erik Lerström Funny thing is that Fultz has turned into a pretty solid NBA player and is playing well for the magic
This aged like fine wine.
They should’ve kept Sam Hinkie for the process to have become successful
had they picked tatum over fultz they could of had tatum simmons embiid and either butler or harris plus a bunch of ok bench players lol...thats a title team imo...
@@razkable hinke also told them, to pick him to
HALLELUJAH Sam Hinkie Snakish cheating ways blew up in Philadelphia fans faces!

And you choked, getting eliminated by a underdog franchise from a city that's known for blowing leads led by a guy who looks like a balding child.
(I'm a hawks fan lol, had to throw that joke in there. Trae has been amazing so far considering this his first playoffs appearance)
Who's here after UTree's latest 76ers vid to see the hall of shame comments he exposed from this vid
*raises hand*
The fac that Simmons cant hit a jumper to save his life coupled with the fact that Embiid is made out of tissue paper pretty much means this team is dusted.
He was beginning to shoot more before his injury and if anything a major injury will slow most players down (at least a little bit) which might make it harder for him to play his normal game and force him to develop a jump shot a bit faster than he's been doing. He's still a damn good player and if they sign someone who can shoot from deep, you know he'll get a shit load of assists.
@@cheeseypie5555 …yeah that didn’t happen
7:35 WAIT A SEC ISNT THAT "REGRET" FROM PERSONA 5 YES IT IS
Eh, regarding the Kawhi shot, even if that didn’t happen and the Sixers won game 7, they still would’ve had to face a red hot Bucks team...
Keep in mind, it took the entire Raptors defense and brilliant scheming by Nick Nurse to stop them.
Still only 6 games though. Sixers were the only ones to take them to game 7. I know it’s not a perfect rule but it’s something of note
Furthermore we played like ass throughout most of that Game 7. It shouldn't have come to that shot in the first place
This video aged like fine wine.
Who is here after the 76ers choked against the Hawks in Game 7 of the Semifinals?
5:29 There are two tales to this:
-Deal with Philly fans being insufferable because they beat the Warriors and “the process” was a success.
OR
-The Warriors have their three peat, and overcome a 3-1 lead and losing both Klay & KD in Games 5 & 6.
Third tale is that the 76ers totally blow it against the Bucks in the ECF, Bucks beat GSW, 76ers still end up in the same hole.
I'm all for 'what-ifs' but remember the Bucks were up 2-0 in the series against the Raptors and took the entire Raptors squad playing defence to win the series. Not sure if the 76ers would've done the same
Fourth tale is:
The 26ers completely blow it in the second round, and choke against a team known for choking. The process is dead.
I feel the celtics got the last few moments of Horford's prime, Sixers are stuck with a rapidly deteriorating Horford
Even if Horford can still play, the sixers really don't need another PF/C that has no perimeter game, especially if they're gonna resign Harris (another forward with a limited perimeter game). Now they have four expensive stars, none of whom can really shoot and all need to get into the paint to have any effectiveness.
They should've kept JJ Redick, who cost exactly half as much (13.5M) as Horford and is the perfect fit for the team.
@@jack90054 How dare you doubt the process

I'm a Canadian born in 1994. I love the Raptors and hoped to God that one day a Canadian team, ANY team, will win a championship in my lifetime. The Kawhi shot is one of my favourite moment in sports history because it paved the way to the only Canadian championship in my lifetime.
If the bruin’s don’t make the playoffs, or are knocked out, I’ll cheer for a Canadian team…. Except the Montreal bozoos

Not re-signing Jimmy Butler is the dumbest thing the Sixers have done since trading away the #1 pick in 1986 then Trading Moses Malone for a bag of used basketballs and an injury prone Jeff Ruland. With Jimmy Butler this team would have been a true contender.
Love the Halo ODST music choice at the end, UTree. Perfectly gets across the bittersweet and tragic nature of the 76ers’ last half decade and its one fluke glimpse of greatness.
As a 76ers fan, this video made me extremely sad. Good video keep up the good work.
The Philadelphia 76ers are a lot like SNL since 2013.
You think that, while there are clearly some nice aspects to it, everything feels like a grandson period in terms of finding a main cast that sticks... and then you realize it's been 9 seasons already.
Don't get me wrong. Ben Simmons (Cecily Strong), Joel Embiid (Kenan Thompson) and guys like Al Horford (Pete Davidson), Tobias Harris (Aidy Bryant) as well as Seth Curry and Danny Green (Colin Jost and Michael Che) are good to build around. However, If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Just like SNL trying (and failing) to make catchphrase comedy work, the Sixers have tried (and failed) to turn Ben Simmons into a 3-point shooter.
The Philadelphia 76ers-Atlanta Hawks (at least for Philly) is the Wario courtroom sketch of basketball: pretty good in theory, but absolutely horrid as time goes on.
*Blow it up, Philly.*
I think their biggest issue this season was that the guys they signed didn’t fit together. Simmons and Embiid can probably work together if the other three guys can shoot. Instead, they get Richardson, Harris, and Horford, all of whom can shoot but aren’t truly knockdown shooters. When they had Reddick, a guy who can knockdown just about any jumpshot, and Butler, who is borderline elite at making his own offense, things actually kind of worked.
I’ve been waiting for this ever since we got swept. Thank you, Tree
It's about that time of year for this video to be relevant and bring me joy once more!... especially since Boston's fate is all but sealed.
The process was an epic failure.
Jimmy Butler was proven right for wanting to leave Philadelphia for Miami. The Heat are going to the Conference Semifinals while the 76ers got Swept by Boston.
Lenard Williams and Erik Spoelestra is proving he can win without LeBron by his side
@@ChiefBlue4298 He surrounded Butler, Dragic, and Bam Adebayo with shooters like Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson. Scorers like Kendrick Nunn and Derrick Jones Jr.
Including Miami gives players accountability. Philadelphia didn't. They just blamed the coach.
And Miami has a legit chance to upset Milwaukee in a playoff series as well.
@@SmoothCriminal12 Aaaaaaand they made it to the Finals before losing in 6 to Lebron and the Lakers. Pretty good. If they get some pieces, they’re a force to reckon with
Forget that 5 year extension Philly gave Doc Rivers, it’s better to fire him now. And I bet you they’ll make the Conference Finals If they’ll fire him, look at the Clippers now…
