When a franchise like the sixers chokes and quits at the first sign of adversity every year it’s no wonder sixers fans gave up, Boston series last year was the final straw, as was the hawks series.
You don’t see this with the eagles and the Phillies because they’re actual winners and give it their all even if they fall short. They have competent front offices too.
It’s also pricing and how every New York team is fucking garbage and the knicks are finally an ok team for once

This probably doesn’t happen if the Sixers weren’t constantly disappointing
Never would’ve happened in an eagles or Phillies game, never ever
Maybe don’t lose in the second or first round every single year. I’ve really enjoyed Embiid’s time here but I’m not sure you can build a real contender around him at this point because of the constant health issues.
This shouldn’t even be a fucking discussion point being down 3-1.
I’ve never seen a Philly team quit more than the 2023 Eagles last year… just saying
Wish he’d be this pissed off that the team (including him) can’t even be bothered to battle for rebounds.
Of course the toxic positivity dorks are now taking out their anger on the fans.
You all can’t just admit you simp all year for an organization and players who let you down every single time and time and time again.
Your delusion has gotten you nowhere and there’s nowhere else to point the fingers.
Right to Ricky Sanchez did a good spot on this. The franchise hasn’t earned fans respect enough to forgoe earning 5x on playoff tickets.
I mean, he’s right. I’m glad he was honest about it. Having away players hyping up the crowd in your building during a playoff game is absolutely embarrassing.
I also don’t think he’s necessarily blaming the fans here, just acknowledging that it was frustrating. It’s not worth getting all defensive over y’all.
Me after Joel scores 1 point in the 4th quarter of a do or die game: “It’s disappointing. It kind of pisses me off”
Stop supporting this organization.
Shotout to the Sixers fan in front of me who stayed calm when a Knicks fan flipped the bird an inch from his face and screamed “f you.”
There was also a 5 year old kid in my section chanting “fuck embiid” every time Joel went to the line. Where was his dad? Right next to him chanting the same thing. 😬
Brother, YOU are the reason. nobody truly loves the sixers anymore like they do other philly teams. we watched him completely give up against boston last year on the home court. you lost a lot of sixer fans wit that one
I mean Embiid is out here half blind on one leg scoring 50 points without being able to pick his feet up off the ground and you have scumbags on Reddit saying we should trade him or we can’t build around him or whatever other asinine internet hot take you want to spew for likes. Bottom line is this team has awful ownership, has for decades, and hasn’t built a winning team since Julius Erving; we failed Allen Iverson who died every night on the court; we’re failing Embiid who dies every night on the court; I’m not telling anyone not to be frustrated but aim it where it’s deserved; straight to the top of the chain. It’s ownership and somewhat morey; it’s not the players or Nick nurse, they’re not going out there trying to lose.
I’m a season ticket holder. My tickets are $45 a piece for the first round. If someone wants to pay $300 a ticket for my seats for the 1st round, I’m gonna let them. Me being there isn’t gonna help the Sixers rebound. If you care so much, you buy season tickets.
I agree with Joel, but the fans are simply too discouraged to care. Knicks fans on the other hand are excited to finally have a somewhat relevant team after years of irrelevance. That and taking the Amtrak down to WFC is cheaper than getting in the door at MSG.
Spent almost $1k to go to your MVP game last year Jo. You shit the bed. Tell it to Josh Harris.
Disappointed and pissed off, Joey?
Welcome to the club.
And you can be 100% certain he ain’t gonna use that as fire to do damn shit.
It pisses everybody off but there’s a lot of causes and it’s beyond any one person’s control.
The only thing Joel can do in that situation is use it to motivate himself to win the series so we don’t have to play a giant city that 90 minutes away.
Watching the sixers is basically waiting for jo to get hurt now, it’s not fun, and realistic expectations are low.
I hope they win, I hope he is healthy but it’s like watching a slow moving train crash
Now it’s time blame the fans huh?
The problem between Brunson and Embiid/ Maxey is that he consistently plays to his strengths whereas those are two don’t….. often at times during games they do things that makes you question the thought process there
And then at the trade deadline The Pacers and Knicks were aggressive going for difference makers type players in Siakam & OG while we got buddy who just got DNP and forgot how to shoot (now I won’t clown the Sixers too much because I don’t know behind the scenes stuff with trades) but to my eyes they failed to get difference maker type players…
Me too Joel
What’s disappointing is having an MVP caliber player who gets hurt EVERY year dude. When do we get a season where this dude carries the team to the finals? Let’s be honest that’s what separates good from average teams. He has the potential but dude has SOMETHING every year come playoff time.
Don’t move to Chinatown you dont deserve you’re own stadium
