This isn’t the NFL Stephen A, its 81 more games chiiiiillllllllll dude 😂
😂😂😂
FUCK THAT!
I’m tired of the Sixers Brass making DUMB MOVES!
Tatum should be on the Sixers!
DJ Kevgeez ur an idiot no one knew Tatum would be that good and faults was he consensus number 1 pick clown
Exactly bro these fools tripping
@@magacop5180 that wasn't a dumb move know one knew he was going to be that good damn you wasn't saying draft him on draft night so stop the BS
1 game and they're a dissapointment? Pump the Brakes, SAS.
They are. Simmons still can't shoot. And Fultz is still a bust.
76ers = overated
They’re gonna get embarrassed in the playoffs again, they got embarrassed by the Cs without their 2 best players last postseason imagine if they run into em again
@@MrGenexxx I hear ya, bro, but I feel like this is a bit of an overreaction to the first game of the regular season.
I'm not saying they will come out of the East, but can we get a larger sample size before we just wave off Philly?
Ian G they made no offseason moves after almost getting swept by the Celtics they are a disappointment
1 game and sas giving phily the smoke already 😂😂😂
I believe he is trying to motivate them by talking shit. He knows they are watching this and it's going to piss them off. Sas is hard on philly, but I know he is a fan.
How tf is calling them a disappointment and saying nothing has changed apart from their GM motivating them?
Xavier Cassar grow some and take it on the chin and prove them all wrong that’s how.
Lol yeah sas is legit wrong about everything
@1:53
salty
Kyrie shot 2-14 and the Celtics almost dubbed them...I’m still trying to process that
I see what did there
they went 5/26 from 3. they aint beating the D league bench shooting like that dont even get me started on FTs
Stacey Jones Did someone say “Process”......
He doesn't need to score 30 on this team. He was obviously coasting... Don't be stupid...
Joey Sparks 2-14 isn’t coasting....that’s struggling. If it was Westbrook people would be all over him
It`s game 1 lmfao. Stephen A is going to change his opinion like 50 times during the season lol.
The Sixers will be good. They they aren't on the Celtics level
Naw... hes actually right the 76ers is garbage and not as good as the hype. There still rebuilding no joke.
50 times is too low.
They fucked up the moment they let they shooters go
He always does. He goes back on his word constantly
If the Sixers are a disappointment after 1 game I can’t wait to see what Stephen A says after the Lakers first game 😂
Lakers will be a top 4 seed..
He'll probably say they're gonna go to the West Finals
@@theacelestino4709 he pretty much said that already. He said of they don't play the warriors before western conference finals they will make it that far.
Tee Cee what you smoking? They will barely make it
Mamba what he’s saying is they didn’t look any different
Definitely not a disappointment. But they really lack a “go get a bucket” perimeter player. I mean they have to run JJ Redick off a bunch of screens to even get a bucket sometimes.
wordtoyourmamason agreed. I’d take my chances on trading for butler. Give them Saric and Covington and a late 1st or 2nd rounder
Factssss
@@jameeljames2338 That's too much. Especially for only 1 year of Butler who isn't even that much of a big time 3pt threat anyway, They can't pull a Minnesota and break away the young core for so little return
AguywithaCZcamschannel I’d be willing to lose saric and Covington for a year of jimmy butler. He could be the difference in them losing in the second round or making the finals in the east.
Jameel James Covington is the only player not named Simmons or embiid that they should keep. He’s a great two way 3 point shooter.
It's not complicated , it's simple, the celtics are just a way more talented team overall than phili , the celtics are just loaded , if you don't believe that you're just fooling yourself !
maxcity tv Facts. Sixers are no better or worse than last year.
Facts and this comes from a philly fan. It isnt that philly is bad, its the fact that boston is just so good. They are stacked with talent. As for 76ers, they are playing the same bball from last year. No refreshing or improvements. Hope it is just a one game.
yea celtics are loaded no cap but... we have the next lebron
@@SilverInterpolFire last year they said they would beat Celtics in the playoffs... They change their mind after each bloody game, and refuse to admit what they've said before - even though the cameras were on... ridiculous.
The Average Gamer they actually are worse tho than last year. They lost bellenli and ersan who really made them succeed last year. Also 2 great shooters that they don’t have this year
Tatum sonned that whole team last night just like he did in the playoffs last year
Yeah with that prayer of a back shot he hit .
Brandon Dyer how you gonna call that a prayer, he put the move on embiid and rose up to knock it down. Quit playin. He didn’t just throw it up
Qam Yasharahla it don’t matter if he don’t do it to kawhi 😂 Kyrie, Hayward, Brown and horford might do it to kawhi
@@andreic8786 Man sit your old ass down somewhere. I'm sure they said worse shit back then. Especially since shit wasn't PC.
@@sirnolacketh2176 you are clueless son
Simmons didn’t work on his jump shot offseason 😴😴😴
Anderson Rodriguez he was working on his shot in the offseason they probably just weren’t going in
If you watched the game you’d see he did... he took a few from free throw range and they didn’t look bad. He looked comfortable shooting from that distance. You can’t judge anything off one game
Someone didnt watch the game
Its not gonna work
Didn't watch it
I'm not a big fan of the 76ers but to call them a disappointment after 1 game is sooo dumb lol it's 1 game!!! not only 1 game but literally the FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON. And Stephen A says he knows basketball
Agreed
Its not because they lost, its because they showed zero improvement from last year. No good signings, players not developing, just kinda staying in the same state they were last year
Still its the 1st game of the season. After 30 games if they still haven't improved ok it's disappointing, but still do you really expect a young team to make it to the finals after one year in the playoffs?? That's ridiculous
Dude is straight trash
lol real talk
I've been against the Sixers hype from the jump but it's ONE GAME....chill
RocNation93 I respect your comment a lot
Nigga he said that before going into his convo, did u not listen? Loll
@@briandan0521 Which proves my point, he even acknowledged that so his rant wasn't even necessary
I've been a Sixers fan since the 60s we haven't won a championship since 1983 haven't been to the final since 01
Brian Dandridge he always kiss ass before he talks
Celtics going to the Finals Kyrie and Tatum gone figure out the formula by mid season...the 6ixers still not enough to hang with the big boys, they are basically the Bucks with extra cheese
What?
Lol you hungry?
Niggas cracking jokes and talking about “what” because they can’t say anything
Show Out facts bro , until markelle fultz show improvement they going be the same as last year.
Chill y'all, nobody's gonna beat the Monstars from Oakland anyway
Who will make a 3-pointer 1st this season
Drummond or Simmons😂
Drummond
Def drummond
Drummomd
Drummond
Ad
"could celtics challenge warriors?"
talks about the 76ers
Of course! They believe they can win
They would rather talk about a team being a disappointment rather than just stating, hey the Celtics are good 😂
Anybody can be Golden State if you play a complete game
They can but not sure they can beat them
it’s one game against the best team in the East on their home court 😂😂😂RELAXXX
You're right but the 2 best players for the Celtics played like dogshit and they smoked the 76ers by 18 next time it could be a lot worse.
They cant compete than
What if they would have beat the Celtics on their home court when they lose it's no big deal when they win they are headed to the finals
1990758 it’s not a big deal either way sir, it is October!
@@KelvinJones97 of course not what if they would have won it would have been a big deal if they win the first five games it's a big deal if they lose the first five game it's early it's only October
76ers should have drafted Tatum simple.
Imagine Simmons, Tatum, Embiid, Covington, Saric line up
Still not better than kyrie hordfor haward brown and fultz
Justin Y.
Tatum is the future, and Kyrie had an off night, but Ill take the team with Kyrie over any of those guys
Justin Y. Gtfo here
@Outrage: The New American Drug thats better than 50%...and most were jumpshots...the league leader in field goal percentage is usually a big man with the majority of his shots being dunks oe layups
He ain’t wrong, Sixers look like they didn’t improve at all
Thats becuz they haven't
They're a pretender team
KingNat ok 1 game...
The old blazers but probably still not as good
ITS 1 GAME. They played well in the preseason. Simmons played great, em id is gonna do what he does, reddick hit shots, Covington is a 3 and D guy. Like really bro? They'll be fine, and I'm not even a 6ers fan
Y’all forget they lost Ilyasova and Belinelli😂😂😂
Maximus I man get out of here SMH lol
Jae KiDd shut up
Kyrie better look for another team, Tatum gonna take over and Kyrie will be in his feeling at the end of the season.
TheRamboss and I believe they will be perfectly fine with Rozier. He a certified killa.
They will not be fine with Terry over Kyrie in crunch time... see how they folded last year to Lebron ? They gonna need uncle drew for the big plays
@@BlackMamba-dq9dt They're fine without him
@@BlackMamba-dq9dt they don't need Kyrie. Why pay him max money? He's too injury prone for max money. I could see him being traded by the deadline.
@@Cavsfan02 They need someone who can give they the ball to when they need points. He is like the "Kobe" or "MJ" of the Celtics. He is needed for clutch moments. Plus he brings basketball IQ and knowledge to the team. He can influence the young players too, which is great cuz they can learn from a player with great offensive talent.
By Stephen A standards Kyrie a bust
yup, perhaps the worst player in the NBA what a fall off
Kyrie has a reputation and track record. 76ers players have still not done shit
Kyrie has a ring and he’s proven. Can’t say the same about this sixers team
@@DaFlash47 get yo infinity stone snapping ah on somewhere
@@DaFlash47 You do know the woman in the avatar it's probably just a model and did not write that comment right?
Markelle FAULTS.
That nga is ASS.
Props to Danny Ainge for the epic Finesse he pulled on the Sixers.
DJ Kevgeez
Ainge stay finessing every team
Now everyone knows Tatum would've turn that good and Fultz having shoulder issues. Yeah right
samuel morrison yeah just like Porzingis falling to 4th in 2015 because they don't know him (no one is overhyping him coming into the draft).
Ainge always finesses teams
He's fine, he's coming off a major injury that forced him to retool his jumper, just give him some time to get into the rhythm and better shape. It's basically his rookie year
Stephen the season literally just started 7:00 last night it hasn't even been 24 hours and you’re about to have heart attack
Haha, he gets paid to have heart attacks, he's a clown :D
Embiid ain’t on my level.. what is max on?
He be cooking you in the matchups tho
@Macedonian_Pride 83 are you ok?
😂😂
Anthony Davis ohhh bull shit Joel is actually above you
Max isn’t to bright
The problem is the sports analysts we're overrating the 76ers. They lost Marco and irsan who were huge on spacing the floor. They aren't gunna be a top 3 seed this season and won't be a problem in the playoffs.
Yes! They will miss them both.
Fr
Joseph Garcia People need to chill it’s only the first game and the sixers are not gonna beat the Celtics because guess what we already know that during the Off season. And obviously they can still improved and they are not going to play Boston every game.
Sixers werent a play off problem last year they just happened to play a bum Heat team and won.
They replaced Belinelli with a much better playoff piece, Wilson Chandler. No he's not the same shooter, but he's a significantly better defender. They replaced Ilyasova with Mike Muscala, who is a similar stretch big. BOTH are currently out with minor injuries. Stop judging teams at the beginning of the season holy shit
Cant believe philly traded their 3rd pick to get the 1st from the celtics and celtics drafted tatum who is MUCH better than fultz
Tá Ligado ?!
They also gave up the Kings 2019 first round pick
Everybody and their moms have Fultz as the 1st pick,what happened last year was unexpected.
How you gonna say "can't believe" when is was unanimous that Fultz was no.1 pick. Especially judge them for that a year and half later when you have seen the results.
Nobody could have predicted Fultz would have a surgery that literally made him relearn his jumper. Supposedly it was nerve damage that's not something teams plan for. Had he been healthy I think he'd be up there with Tatum, with Tatum probably being a little better right now. It's just unfortunate but Fultz can still turn it around the dude has insane talent.
yea but hindsight is 20 20
Months later with the addition of Tabias & Jimmy they still can't beat Boston
It’s just the first game, when Durant joined the warriors the got blown out in their first game and they still ended up goin to the finals
WHATS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN
Diego Herrera Totally different teams and situation. Durant was new to the Warriors system which led to the slow start. 76ers have been had the same team from last year and have zero improvement. You could get a blowout lost from the Warriors but still expect them to make the finals because they have 2 MVP caliber players (one of which the greatest shooter of all time), a great shooter, and an the Defensive Player of the Year in Draymond (and also an imacculate coach in Steve Kerr).
It’s not Sixers V Celtics
It’s Celtics V Raptors
Actually it's Celtics V Warriors
KP
I’m talkin bout the East
Too early
gotta beat the best team in the east first the raptors.aint happening
CONLEY DOWNEY well the raptors were the best team in the east regular season wide now they got the best player in the east
Already disappointed 😂?
😂😂😂
76ers 2nd or 3rd best team in the East. No offense. Celtics are too loaded
GG Yunis facebook.com/groups/967348520070287/
Been disappointed
Max kellerman smoking crack saying celtics got a 50/50 chance against the warriors LMAO
What's a scary is kyrie and Gordon are still shaking off rust I can't imagine how good this team will be once they get back to normal
I'm a Celtics fan and I think we're making the finals but it's way too early to call the sixers a disappointment, bad games happen to every team especially given it was the first game of the season
That being said Raps still a bigger threat than the sixers
Sean Lyons no ones a threat lol warriors in 4
Basim Israr nah
You think the celtics will win a game
Basim Israr
Celtics can beat gsw in a 7 game series. They match up with them better than any team in the league. Gsw aren’t a young team by any means and they will have the fatigue of going to 4/5 straight finals. They also have NO depth. Think of it as a Detroit vs LA 2004 type series.
Until Ben Simmons can shoot they’re basically playing 4 on 5
Reggie major facts
Facts, Defenses will play off him and clog up the paint on Embiid. Celtics left him open all night and helped defense on Embiid.
Simmons shoots with the wrong hand, he'll never be better
I’m a Celtics fan but I disagree. Simmons played well last night. He’s only a joke when it comes to threes. I don’t know why we didn’t play off of him even more
Yeah, once the shooters go cold from 3 the driving lanes shrink for Simmons making it easier to contain him. The Sixers also need a 2nd guy at least to create their on shot. That was supposed to be Fultz but so far he's struggled since he's been in the league, but it is only one game & it's basically Fultz first season really, so things will improve with him.
After one game we get headlines like this wtf lmaooooo 😂😂
Its early but i see what Steve a is saying .we do need another piece
Simmons needed to practice on his shooting in the offseason but he really seems to think he doesn’t need a jumper, gonna be a waste of potential smh.
If I was the coach, I wouldn‘t even let him do a layup in the offseason. It has to be a jumper otherwise don‘t score.
Simmons was the guy who said he didn't need Kobe Bryant's advice when he offered it. Meanwhile, Tatum spent the summer training with Kobe. Both Simmons and Embiid thought they arrived last season.
BlueWave yep, i think those 2 need to put their feet on the ground, the all time greats didn't just became great on their own, they were heavily inspired and most of the time copied the ones before them, before making their own style of play and thus making them great too.
Alex Turner nigga is fuckin 20 for Christ sakes. Y’all actin like he’s a 10 yr vet
I get the notion that Simmons should shoot but relax. He in his 2nd full year and he had 19, 15 rebs, and 8 assist. Relax
Y'all serious? The season just started lmao
fr, I'm not ready for the media to be wylin out this early lol
The Sixers arent going anywhere
I’m trying to figure out where did all these sixers fans come from???
Well I'm a Grizzlies fan since the stomile swift days....so don't put the bandwagon jacket on my back when memphis is doing well....
We been around just had NOTHING to be here for.
@@TheClutchKenny yeah it's not like Philly is a small market....it's a lotta y'all niggas
Good question Let me guess from Pennsylvania most likely
Philadelphia. Next stupid question, please
Al horford always matchin up well against Joel. One of Joel’s hardest matchups
This is why i give lebron credit. He improved his jump shot. Ben Simmons will never get a jump shot unless he switch to shooting with his right hand
David Sayimright bruh it’s Simmons 3rd season in the nba... lebron couldn’t shoot in his 3rd season...
Took 9 seasons for lebron to get a consistent jumper
@@lukeyost7566 lebron could still shoot though his jumper was inconsistent but he still shot
Lol Simmons 3rd season yet he won rookie of the year last year? 😂
Luke Yost 😂😂 FACTS! in all honesty bron bron just started to get a decent jumper these last 3 seasons his shots ALWAYS BEEN SUSPECT 😂 FREE THROWS THE WORKS 😂..other then that bum rush bullying to the hole..or the famous dip the shoulder spin right lay up...😂😂 sad sad stuff
Last year sixers was also trash before ilyasova and belinelli came
Robert Dietz: they were a 5th seed
A.J Fraley
.500 record tho
TitanKiller with Embiid not playing back to backs and on minute restrictions tho.
Uncle Kanye Thomas Ruckus
Yea that’s fair but he still played a decent amount of games and Simmons played virtually all of those games, I’m not saying Phily is bad but he’s right they needed to keep or get new jump shooters, 2 on your roster in 2018 nba is not gonna do it for you
TitanKiller true but they have to do or die with Fultz this year to see what they have. In my opinion JJ Reddick took some of the shots that should have gone to Fultz in the first half.
Elton Brand. Wow. I remember watching him play! Congrats on being GM!
Fultz had range at Washington... That shoulder injury his rookie year is what slowing him down. He can get to the rack though, he just needs confidence
Kyrie and Hayward shot 6-26 and combined 17 points, while Celtics won by 18. How come no one is talking about how bad those were?
LeBryant Howard Its their first game back after injuries, not much to talk about.
They Coming From Injury Bitch Ass
It's even worse for the sixers. Kyrie and hayward shot themselves out of the game but the Sixers allowed Tatum to destroy them
They are trash. .. young core much better
Kyrie had an off night and hayward hasnt played in a year. Nothing to talk about
The Sixers should have pulled the trigger and traded for Kawhi now there in a position were they could lose to the Wizards! There not as elite as people put them out to be
W
@@CoopDysfunction Never mentioned the Celtics in this but if we looking at the Wizards Sixers on Paper atleast it's close and ik the Sixers have a good future but rn I don't think they'll beat Wall Beal Howard 4/7 with Simmons not shooting anything but layups
@@EspnNeedsIKD Your comment is just as dumb as any other comment I've seen on here talking about Ben Simmons and his lack of shooting. Why the hell are y'all so worried about someone who doesn't shoot jumpers and looks to get to the rim every single time? Have y'all forgotten about HIGH PERCENTAGE SHOTS??? Simmons is 6'10" with guard skills and guard speed. He's the fastest player in the league at his height. Who cares if he can't shoot? That does not affect any other part of his game. He rebounds well, he passes GREAT, and he defends well. He's also a walking triple-double and he doesn't even care about stats. if anything, I'd rather him be a solid free throw shooter than a solid 3-point shooter. Steph Curry has y'all drunk on 3-pointers like it's the only thing that matters in basketball. I don't care if this is the era of shooting 3-pointers. You forget that there wasn't even a 3-point line back then until they implemented one. I'd be happy if they eliminated it just so you idiots can stop moaning and complaining about dudes who can't or choose not to shoot from the 3-point line. A basket is a basket no matter if it's a dunk, layup, or a long 2-pointer. As long as they go in, I don't give a damn.
@@wook1990 You took the comment the wrong way its regarding how playoff ball works people gonna keep playing back and make him shoot and rn if they were to get matched up against a team like the Wizards they losing but many people have them as a serious contender. They won't be a contender without him expanding his game and Embiid recognizing doubles better. Fultz ain't playing great yes it's one game but the struggles could be the early indications of what mistake they made that could have been franchise altering
@@EspnNeedsIKD It doesn't even if it's playoff basketball. Simmons still gets to the rim at will and finishes. Now there are times when he doesn't finish especially when he goes for layups which is why he should dunk more with his height and speed, but that does not mean he needs to start jacking jumpers. He'll be just fine. In due time, he'll develop a midrange jumper. But his skillset is too versatile to focus on just his shooting.
hindsight is 20/20...a lot of reporters were calling Fultz the obvious 1st pick at that point and time
Fultz May have a development issue because he’s a damien lillard type player. He missed a year and now has to readjust from the ball dominant role he played in college if he can’t do that it may difficult
Straight facts. You know, Im happy for the 76ers, theyve been bad for a long time, but theyve been overhyped over the offseason cuz of their marketable players in Simmons and Embiid. They wont live up to the top 3 in the East, contending team expectations theyve been given. Im not saying theyll do bad over one game, but its not fair to put them somewhere there not yet. Theyre not an actual contending team, and when they show that this season, its gonna look like a failure, but its not Simmons or Embiids fault. Its the medias for blowing them up to be something theyre not. Give it one, two years and your looking at a monster, but not yet.
well said i agree 100
Don't know why they didn't sign Jamal Crawford.
Real shit
It’s crazy how much Jason Tatum reminds me of a young Kobe! Tatum is going to be special!
What's scary is that he's better than Kobe was at 20. But the jump Kobe made at around 22 was insane.
That is such a bad comparison sorry but Tatum takes more good shots than kobe and i bet that you only compared them because kobe trained him they are not alike at all
Basketballfan15 I mean how he moves and his athleticism is like Kobe. There’s even a video showing side by side comparison with Tatum and Kobe and Tatum is definitely trying to mimic Kobe's style and that’s a good thing. I’m sure you can find it on CZcams. He’s for sure better than Kobe was at 20 in my opinion!
Devin Gray Tatum looks like a cross dresser that's gonna fade out, he's not taking them anywhere, Joel will get revenge and then sas will be saying how great they are
@@mscottlawrence2037 where do you live on the moon?JT is gonna fade out ?????
SAS joking about Fultz and that the Sixers traded up but Markelle looked hella fine right outta college back then.
Simmons/Embiid/Tatum would've been such a perfect combo. More length, better defense, better shooting. Jesus, that would've been a scary team.
k o naw embiid/Tatum/Ingram should be the team
It's all Embiids fault. He posted that group pic with Markelle on Instagram talking about how great it would be. Colangelo probably saw it and decided then and there
The 76er's shot horrible. I'm talking about Embiid, Saric, Covington, & Fultz.
THE PACERS ARE GOING TO BE BETTER THAN THE 76ERS. They are the true contenders. MARK MY WORDS
Everybody forgets about Marcus Morris. He's a solid role player off the bench. He could be better on defense but solid role player in this system.
I’m with Stephen a no one is gonna get better throughout this season but fultz we should have seen improvement game one from Simmons and embiid
Wouldn't say there a disappointment but 76ers have alot to address Fact that Fultz and Simmons play at top on perimeter They cant get Embiid the ball in post because Guys are playing off daring them to shoot they need a legit 3rd guy who can score play D take pressure off Simmons to create And Boston Scary Tatum is The Deal!! For me I see Toronto and Boston ECF
That's Wilson Chandler
Stop the excuse they have Robert Covington
Covington is trash always has been
@@GuerillaxMoB he trash? Bet let him go to pelicans they need him, set decent 3 and D u don't know what the fuck you're talking about
@@johnalwx394 I forgot be add depth that they need
Does he realize that their off season acquisitions didn’t play? Give it a fucking break, it was only game 1. Yes, Boston is better than Philly, but by no means are they a disappointment.
“Markelle Fultz comes on the floor anemic as far as I’m concerned” 💀 I’m dead
Ben Simmons did not work on his jumper c'mon bro 😫😫
1realVA OG can y’all niggas shut up shooting is not everything he’s 6’9 he don’t need to shoot he wasn’t shooting his rookie season and almost averaged a triple double
Simmons may not have the work ethic to improve his game
Joshua Flowers that not shooting got him 1 point in a playoff game lmao foh
@@GuerillaxMoB bruh how do you know what his work ethic like? You think you get to this level and this good this young by having a shitty work ethic and not improving one game doesn't determine how much he worked on his jumper lmao. It takes time, you'll see it later
Yes hebdoes need to learn to shoot, because a lot of times he has the ball with 8 seconds or less on the shot clock. Good defenses will easilyback him up away from the paint and make him pass the ball like a hot potato amd cause a turnover, just because he will be afraidnto shoot and Embiidbwill be waiting by the 3 point line insteadbofbstaying under the basket to get the board or position himself for a dunk.
Jason tatum a allstar in my eyes stl 🔥💯
"My money tall, Jayson Tatum"
@@user-qy3qf3bu6x jayson tatum will be an allstar fuck u mean final 12 spot.
314!
Last night was an atrocity for my Sixers and I am willing to admit that. The only thing that I saw out of last night, is that Ben Simmons is prepared to jump to another level this season. He looked like a top 15 player to me last night. His play-making ability is off the damn charts.
Jason winking like Kobe, like Kobe threw is tongue out like MJ, MJ had swagger like Dr. J AND IT GOES ON AND ON..
That pimple tho😂 Rarely see that from a celebrity on Television ..
CHiLLiN HENDRiCK bro I thought I was the only one who noticed 😂😂
It’s just as loud as Stephen a 😂😂😂😂
That pimple annoyed the hell out of me the entire time he was talking😂😂
Make up crew played my boi lol
CHiLLiN HENDRiCK wait who and where
Jayson Tatum's height makes him more of a problem than Kyrie Irving. 😀😀😀
Makes no sense for Philadelphia to lose with Irving & Hayward struggling.
@Outrage: The New American Drug they lost by 18 points, that is sad
@Outrage: The New American Drug if you lose by 15 or more is basically a blow out.they suck and overrated
Just one game in and now there a disappointment y’all just had them as eastern conference contenders lol 😂
Jesus Is lord Exactly why they are disappointments. How are you going to be hailed as a conference contender but almost get dubbed by your "rivals" when their best player shot 2/14?
Simmons still has 2-3 years before he gets that superior confidence out there on the court. Same team as last year with the exception of Fultz getting the start other than that nothing’s changed
Phily fans mad salty in comments
😂
Not really.
Fultz is a disappointment not the Sixers, its almost to the point where you can compare him with Bennett
I think that's what he really wanted to say. But he didn't want to dump on the kid.
Yea he's a bust, unfortunately
If Jimmy Butler goes to the Boston Celtics for a future 1st or 2nd draft pick, then it's a wrap in the NBA East.
i’m a celtics fan but SAS needs to chill, it’s only been one game 😂
they lose the 1st game of just their second year together, to the favorites to make it out of the east, and they're a disappointment already? as a sixers fan, i admit this probably isn't "their year," but still a 3rd or 4th seed. raptors are better, and the pacers could potentially be better
Well said Kahn Celts fan for life and hope to get back to early 80's Philly Boston wars.
2nd* seed
Sixers are young, fun and talented. But they've been overhyped since the end of last season. Simmons is awesome but he's more Magic than Bron. Kyrie went 2/14 which will never happen again and the Celtics still won by almost 20. Until a 3rd guy either emerges or is acquired, or if I see Simmons become more of a scorer, this team is no threat to the top of the East (Celtics, Raptors)
OhSoDreamyy Simmons been overhyped more than the sizers themselves. Ben Simmons is way overrated to me
I agree, it's because of the comparisons to LeBron. His game is somewhat similar, but he's just not the scorer Bron was even at that point.
Kay Phenom He almost had another triple double in his second season/first game dummy. Lol learn the word overrated before commenting.
Players like magic, lebron and simmons cant be your go to scorers on a championship team in crunch time ex lebron( kyrie, wade) Magic(kareem)
Markus Mahadeo i disagree because we’ve seen both magic and Lebron take over the game from defense to offense. Magic and Lebron creates the offense, so they don’t have to score all the time because almost everything they do contributes to points. Ben ain’t at that level yet, that’s why i feel he’s overrated. It’s more potential then actual skill. He’s not even the best young player on the sixers. Joel Embid is the center piece of that team.
Dario sharic not fultz is that third guy . However I think they should get him more involved with the offense . He was a 39% 3 point shooter . Can create his own shot . Took the same amount of shots his rookie , year and softmore year . But became more efficient in every field and scored more , with the same shots . They need to get the ball in his hands a lot more too . The only play through Simmons and embiid , who are excellent passers
I’m a wizards fan but you can’t just say that the sixers are a bust like you said Lonzo was one last season. Give them more than one game against the best team in the east

.....stay off the weed max
Brugh if Markelle don't start balling soon I'mma have a fit, Tatum, Dennis Smith Jr. De Aaron for Lonzo ball Josh Jackson Lonzo ball, OG all drafted after fultz and that's after the Sixers traded up boy you better show something one game don't make a season but I'll be damned if he don't play better than that
tbh, i think he's overwhelmed in the pro scene and can't adapt, maybe he's hurt or whatever, but we only see a bust in that 1st round pick smh (not that he's the first player to be 1st draft pick that turned out to be bust tho) .
If he’s a bust it’s gonna be plain rotten luck for the franchise that drafted him..it seems some teams are cursed in this league
Saying Simmons didn’t work in the off-season 😂😂😂😂😂
I'd have to agree lol. 6ers didn't make any moves lol just playing pickup out there. Stay in the gym, out the media.
*Why people go hard after just 1 game? Like they give they best opinion just from 1 game*
After 1 game? I know you guys are short for stories and will make a big deal out of nothing, but seriously? Im embarrassed for you ESPN, and im even more embarrassed for you Stephen A.
Ben Simmons its not 1 game. It was the playoffs last year too. Sixers may not be a top 3 seed and theyre nowhere even close to the Celtics level
I'm embarrassed you don't want a jumpshot
Tatum owned you
Tatum sonned our whole team.... I'm embarrassed
Show is called First Take. Where you know, they give their first take immediately after a game.
I bet y'all the same ones thinking Giannis gone win mvp
Nah they the same ones after the first half giving Curry the MVP
And who u think gonna win it?
He play tonight
Nah, bruh, Trae Young bout to surprise the world, I’m just sayin
He can if he wins enough games. He'll probably have to at least win 50 though.
Simmons looked really good but Embid had to many turnovers but it’s the first game but Celtics killed them
Is Stephen A really saying that the sizers are strange for wanting Fultz number 1? Not 1 person in the media said that Tatum should be number 1 the convo was between Lonzo and Fultz, Tatum was considered a step below. The fact that they can now go up and say this in hindsight like that is ridiculous
for the people saying “Stephen A it’s only one game” .........he said that when he talked.
people didn't watch the video but only make out of the title thus the salt.
Doesn’t change the fact it was one game, that he said it was one game. All they need to make are the playoffs then we will see how the click then
How are you a nba player and you can’t shoot😂😂
Shooting in game is understabel, it really becomes a problem when you cant even make them in pratice
Hate to break it to u but ALOT of NBA players are not shooters..They're are so many other aspects to the game besides shooting...Some of the ALL TIME GREATS could not shoot the ball well but they still dominated in the other parts of the game
@@jaredcoates3273 You don't have to be a knockdown shooter but Simmons can't even shoot open shots. He can't even shoot mid range
@@gotworc Im aware of that n he definitely should try to develop a Jumpshot sooner rather then later but I dont believe his shot will make or break his career...Ever since Steph came on the scene n started shooting the ball like he does everone thinks you gotta have a J to b good which is simply not true....Players like Magic,Dominique,Dr J, even D Wade(Kinda) have all dominated without a J...Im not saying Ben Simmons shouldn't worry about it bcuz it would help his game out tremendously but his still a top 10 PG without it
Don't Be a Sheep, hate to break it to you but if you can't shoot you can't be in today's nba, haven't you seen how the game has changed? some of the ATT TIME GREATS could NEVER play in today's NBA, Top rank D1 college coach even stated that, "THEY DON'T RECRUIT BIG MAN that just play back to the basket anymore," the GSW style of play that everyone seems to imitate now has change the game, just take a look at the past 5 years, all the so call great big man are basically nowhere to be found, teams aren't drafting 1 dimensional big man anymore; i admit you don't have to be a knock down shooter, rondo ain't the best shooter but he's a great player and a champion, simmons needs to figure how something about his jumpshot, brad stevenson beat him one on one last year in the playoff and he never set foot on the court and he did it again last game. simmons will be a liability especially in playoffs, or the 76ers needs to find a way to play a style of bball that fits simmons none shooting ass.. lebron shoots and coming into the nba he was know as a non shooter.
The sixers should put they starting lineup with merkelle, redick, simmons, saric and embid, the bench with tj, covington, chandler, amir jhonson and some any guy.
in my opinion we missed our bench (Chandler, Muscala)
Elton Brand?
Stephen A Smith brain.exe stopped working
This is the problem with daily sports blogs. It's the 1st game of the season. Teams gotta get into their rhythm. Geeeez!
They don't have enough shooters and scorers. They need someone like Lou Williams. All their perimeter shooters are catch and shoot guys or they come off the screen.
No the disappointment was when the sixers gave covington a max contract smh
Lol
Facts
Jayson Tatum is the celtics best player dont @ me
He will ask for big $$$ after his 3rd season meanin irving,hayward,horford one of them wont here
@@jefftacsin911 Irving is gone pretty soon. Mark my words.
@@jefftacsin911 not if horford takes a veteran pay cut. If he and kyrie both take cuts the future for boston is gonna look pretty bright
@@itztokeyo Horford could (and should) get a long term contract on a lower salary per year, definitely! Doubt Kyrie will take a pay cut though. He knows he's worth the dough and he's in his prime.
That would be kyrie.. so for clutch time you giving the ball to Tatum over kyrie.. lmao, but Tatum is a all star but not on kyrie level bro
They build their team by tanking the Celtics however build their team by acquiring picks , signing good free agents and they only miss the postseason one time in their short rebuild
I saw 6ft 8in Al Horsford straight man-o Y man-o block 7ft Embiid's lame low post attempt. It reminded me of when Clint Capela straight up blocked Kitty KAT lame low post attempt and made Kitty KAT go to the 3 point line the rest of the series to look for points
East goes like this
1. Celtics
2. Raptors 3.sixers
And this coming from a die hard lakers fan
Raptors going to be 1 KL and Danny green got championship pedigree in them and will destroy Tatum.
twistr lol u sound foolish af listen when your second best player (Kyle Lowery) doesn’t show up every game in the playoffs you will NOT beat this Celtics team in 7 games
@@saidullah146 lol..... at least I tried 😏
@@saidullah146 Kyle Lowery= some pure babbage
Raptors might wash them 😭😂😂😂
Sixers are overrated. And Ben Simmons still can't shoot from outside the paint. Oh yea fultz is looking like the worse player from the draft he went number 1 in.
the whole team is in the same boat.
Toppnotch Mike Ben Simmons been overrated. He does nothing spectacular that makes you go “ooooh”
Offense is stagnant , need more back cuts and motion off the ball . They seem confused about what to do when the other team won't let them post embid. Fultz has to be able to get plays called for him and produce
It really was p disappointing, felt just like that playoff series last year. And it’s not just losing games. It’s an indictment of getting rid of hinkie. Because ik for sure he would’ve never given up a pick to trade up for fultz. It’s maddening to see how much better the Celtics seem to be positioned. Especially considering the 2 best players of either team is on the sixers. Smh everyone on the Celtics can shoot 3s and we got people excited when our guards make jump shots in practice
