McMillan is just what a franchise that can’t find postseason success needs.

Yeah 1 playoff series win in 16 years as a head coach, got swept 3 out of the last 4 years, no thanks.

Should just rotate Brett brown and Nate McMillan between pacers and Sixers jobs every few years. Lose in first round every year

to be fair to Nate, it seems to me that he has far less talent than Brett had and that team is decent every year
Continued success, thanks for comin' on the show!

To be fair to Brett, he won more playoff series as a Head Coach than Nate has and Nate had some good teams in Seattle and Portland.

That Pacers team may have been working from a deficit the past few years, but they only won a total of 3 playoff games.

Those Roy/Aldridge teams were sort of analogous to our squads. Hopefully without one of our stars suffering a career ending injury.

That series he won was that year Jerome James went nuts against the Spurs then the Knicks gave him the full MLE. Good times.

edit- Oh no it was the second round that year when they lost against the Kings. 17 and 9!

darvin ham, he's name that has been thrown into the mix. was with brand at atl so there's a connection. honestly, don't know much about him other than being a long time budenholzen assistant, which isn't a bad place to look.

I like having all of the sports stadiums in one central location. I’d like for the Sixers to have their own arena, but not a fan of taxpayers paying for arenas.

+1 to all of this

Now, if we can just airlift Subaru Park to Penn's Landing...that I am in for.

They're so tone deaf.

Having an actual basketball arena closer to CC would be cool though, the above aside.

It's fine it's just a hockey arena.

Also I said this was tone deaf before I even realized what was going on with the Bucks, talk about terrible timing for another example of your greed to come out.

That part is new, which leads into why else this is fucking stupid - they just gave the Center a facelift the past two years!

Well they don't own the arena Comcast/the Flyers do, the Sixers are just tenants which is a major reason why they want to build an arena.

Well guess what, this is a laughing matter, and we need you again. Thanks for recording that moment in time. I've been feeling full circle times ever since Sixers got eliminated. So much pressure had built up, investments and attachments, a ticking timeline. The dam was meant to burst, or in this case the bubble. Embiid and Ben have only had 1 voice to listen to as they've come into their own. It's a clean slate now as far as I'm concerned. There's no relationship history or pre-conditioned dynamics in play. Just a couple of young 20-somethings moving on up in the world, ready to learn more. And I think for the first time, the mythology about their potential received a reality check, and this program can't get by on talent alone. The Process is about to get refined and I see some good years ahead and a new set of goals and expectations. The long view being to create a team around these guys as they peak in the next 5-7 years, and beyond. The fear had been held that Embiid could drop at any minute, but I don't see that kind of vulnerability from him anymore. Hinkie's abrupt end and the Colangelo era was a clusterfuck of forcefulness to push this thing forward from the league and Harris. I finally feel like they can start again.

In Camden.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?
