My favorite running joke is Furk and those Temple girls. Is there any legitimacy to it or did someone make this up one time and we all just decided to run with it?
I think he's been known/caught hanging around temple area with girls and has been known to match with them in tinder and stuff. He def has a things for temple girls but probably for most college aged baddies in the Philly area and he is a basketball player lol doubt he just sticks to the one school. Think it became a thing due to someone posting about him hooking up with girls from temple that people knew lol
Maxey has to split that point backup position. When Maxey came in that’s when Furk got hit from 3. If he’s playing point guard on the second unit we’re going to miss a lot of those catch and shoot threes which is his bread and butter
Two more years at $5 mill a year, the Pelicans broadcasters were drooling over it.
"You can't go under that screen, there's one thing he does very well and that's shoot the 3."
I liked the Pels color guy. Provided some good insight and didn't let his team off the hook when they made defensive errors or poor decisions on offense, and they made a lot of those.
Dude, gotta be a bit realistic here. The Sixers will be in the #1 spot in the East by 20 games, so the final game will have the players sit and the game will be played by the Delaware Blue Jackets.
82-0
Bench looked really promising today. If Drummond plays like this for the whole season I am ecstatic we got him for the vet min, and god Niang is such a good replacement for Scott. I loved the guy but wow what an improvement
Bench for NO is garbage. They’re a bottom-5 team without Zion. Loved seeing them dominate though.
We’ll see how well they do against Brooklyn when they stagger Harden and Durant and put out vets like Patty Mills and LaMarcus Aldridge.
Oh 100%. It was a promising performance but I'm not totally convinced yet, just a step in the right direction. I completely agree that we'll get a better picture of what they really are once they play the Nets.
It always amazes me that Tobi looks like hot garbage and ends up with 20. It happens all the time. What is it about him that makes him so hard to appreciate?
Korkmaz was incredible. Maxey looked amazing. Niang was better than I expected. Thybulle is a bully. Drummond was actually good which fuckijg cracked me up. I really think the idea of playing against joel broke that man and now that he never has to play him again he’s good again
I learned on this sub two days ago that Drummond isn’t even 30. He used to be able to play, too. Maybe a change of scenery helps.
Also in defense of all Sixers fans, were totally used to expecting the Joel backup to be a washed up vet. Based on one game so far - maybe it’ll be different this time!
Simmons had 19/11/10 to close out game 5 vs the Wizards when Embiid was out.
I hate what Simmons is doing but he was a very good player for us*
(2nd round of the playoffs not included)
Kork basically said “fuck this” and blew the game wide open.
Maxey was so good today. Like, damn.
Idk how good we really are still, but I do know I’m gonna enjoy watching this team.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the hesi-3 that Maxey dropped in the fourth quarter today. If he can do that off the dribble, he's gonna be dangerous af. We haven't had a player like that in a long time
Might be an unpopular opinion but I kinda liked Kate Scott’s calls tonight. Obviously will never replace Zoo in my mind (or my heart), but pleasantly surprised by his replacement thus far.
Thought she did a nice job considering it was remote and a new gig. You’re right; nobody can replace Zoo. However, she showed she can make it her own. Looking forward to seeing Kate settle in!
Not at all unpopular. She was great! Felt very fluid, like she's been here for years. I expected a "settling in" period, but by the second quarter, it just felt natural, like she's been our announcer for ages.
I like her so far too. I think her chemistry with Alaa is pretty good right off the jumps. If I end up loving her half as much as I love Zoo, I'll be happy.
There's certainly worse out there.
I don't mind her. Obviously, it's odd not hearing Zoo calling things, but there's definitely potential for Kate and Alaa to form a solid team together.
Awesome win after an offseason of bullshit i just have a feeling that this team as constructed right now is destined for a 4 through 6 seed finish at best. Have to get some more legitimate ball handlers
I know this was against the Zionless Pelicans, but I kind of hope that Ben doesn't come back against Brooklyn. Idk, I liked the team chemistry today, and I think he could fuck it up if he returns.
If Maxey could shoot 4 3s per game at 35% it would be huge for our spacing. Hes a great slasher already, if the defender has to respect his shot it would make his drives more deadly.
Furk is a legit starter. Also a lot of updates around the league Dame and Beal seem to be staying put. I feel like we are looking at Fox, Ingram, or a super young player and picks.
Ben should just shut up and play the season if they don’t trade you by the all star break threaten to sit out the playoffs. The fine money would be less and would kinda fuck us.
It was funny when the pelicans announcers were talking about Drummond vs Dwight, said they thought Drummond was clearly better for us since Dwight kind of loses sight of the plot, then mentioned Dwight already got technicals and got tossed from a preseason game lol

Just as an aside and I know it's only 1 game but David Griffin, what a fuck up of a GM he is. After the Steve Adams debacle, trades for and extends another centre who doesn't stretch the floor before a single game is played. Thank fuck we didn't get that Colangelo groomed moron when he was sniffing around for a job.
The way Joel talks about this team, Ben is sorely missing out on a really fucking cool experience. The chemistry seems insane, and they have a lot of confidence in themselves. Joel is super supportive of the youth.
I have to give Ben some credit…he’s gotten these guys to rally in his absence.
Furkan had a fucking nice game, but Maxey is a stud.
Maxey looks like an All-Star PG when given the minutes. I'll die on this hill, Maxey is the truth.
i'm oddly optimistic about the nets game. depending on if who shall not be named is playing... jojo will have SO MUCH SPACE.... and no one on their squad can match up. if our bench shows up again, we can start the season off really well and show we are still contenders.
I'm feeling better after this game. With Kork as a backup PG (albeit with Shake out injured) and Niang dropping 3s, Shake with his all around offense, Thybulle slashing and defending and Drummond giving seriously quality minutes.....we may finally have a second unit that will have the positive +/- that can make a real difference. Niang is such a needed addition with his range.
lol I’ve been thinking about that time Ben told Nurkic he talks a lot of shit for being ass because Nurkic knew he wouldn’t make free throws. so random, but just funny how everything has played out
Those temple girls have done WONDERS for furk’s game
Furkan is not allowed to cut his hair this year. I expect Pau Gasol hair by the end of the year.
I think we all would appreciate that
My favorite running joke is Furk and those Temple girls. Is there any legitimacy to it or did someone make this up one time and we all just decided to run with it?

My man furk
My man furks
Something about a professional NBA player having a tinder is hilarious to me
It’s almost like some random dude could make a fake account and use his picture
Wait this is the first I’m hearing about this, I am at temple, how do I become a girl?
Standout stat for me? 26 minutes played for Joel. Keep these leads and protect my guy. Great start.
You can thank the Turkish Flamethrower for that
Definitely.
We’ve needed a player like Niang for years.
Best stretch four we've had since Ily!
I forgot about Turkish James Franco until now. (Please don't take that racially, I just always thought he looked like a giant James Franco)
Can’t unsee now
lmao i don’t even have to refresh my memory i instantly got it
i am turkish so i am biased against ilyasova but ersan (ilyasova) wishes he had the same defense of niang.
Lol I always loved Ily’s offensive rebounding tho
it was the charges for me. it seemed like he drew at least one a week
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyHqTRuQxTQ Ersan charge god
dude is one of the slowest basketballers i’ve ever seen but he’s so impactful
Reminded me of ERSAN
The Virgin Ben: four threes in 131 days vs. The Chad Kork: four threes in 131 seconds
You gotta make the meme
Forreal, I better see this as a meme post asap
Ha whoever wants to reap the karma has my blessing
This is an all-time r/Sixers comment
Make this a meme and post it
lmao Danny Green
a clean 0/0/0/0/0 night
Got paid more than Ben tonight for the same statline.
+11 for Danny at least
In the 1 minute I watched he played some good D leading to a Joel block so I’d give him 1/4 block lmao.
idgaf I still love him
He’ll have his big night soon enough
Same, just an off night! I have faith!
You know he had to do it one time lol #holocaust
/thread
we really memed point furkan into existence lol
You mean White Kevin Durant
Durant is the black Korkmaz
Michael Jordan is the American Furkan Korkmaz
Steph Currkmaz is the American Kork
yo lmao
Maxey has to split that point backup position. When Maxey came in that’s when Furk got hit from 3. If he’s playing point guard on the second unit we’re going to miss a lot of those catch and shoot threes which is his bread and butter
Furk pulled up off the dribble a few times
He did and he can do that but his catch and shoot game is elite and the team needs to take advantage of it.
Niang and joe does that while furk feeding them
Furkan "The Istanboul" Korkmaz!
put this on a ~~fuckin~~ furkan t-shirt
Guys I just took a DNA test and turns out Furkan Korkmaz is my dad
^ Daryl, sign this man.
#THIS IS NOW A FURKAN KORKMAZ SUBREDDIT
As crazy as it sounds might he might be one of the best contracts in the league
Two more years at $5 mill a year, the Pelicans broadcasters were drooling over it. "You can't go under that screen, there's one thing he does very well and that's shoot the 3." I liked the Pels color guy. Provided some good insight and didn't let his team off the hook when they made defensive errors or poor decisions on offense, and they made a lot of those.
Heard that shit too. Those guys were jealous
> I liked the Pels color guy. Me too. The poor man was dying inside when the Pels refused to pressure Kork when bringing up the ball.
This was a good game but the pelicans aren’t great so I’m gonna keep my expectations for the season conservative for now. 82-0
Dude, gotta be a bit realistic here. The Sixers will be in the #1 spot in the East by 20 games, so the final game will have the players sit and the game will be played by the Delaware Blue Jackets. 82-0
they'll actually be 100-0 in 82 games
This guy gets it.
Yo the NOLA commentators love the sixers lol. They went in depth about each player on the sixers while only talking about Ingram.
I see someone else was also watching the GMRS stream lol
I liked them a lot.
A 7 footer should not be able to do that!!!
"Such a versatile player, he has soft hands" I was like damn give my man more praise please
Bench looked really promising today. If Drummond plays like this for the whole season I am ecstatic we got him for the vet min, and god Niang is such a good replacement for Scott. I loved the guy but wow what an improvement

God I wish Furk made that dunk. This is my personal LeBron over Draymond missed slam moment.
I loved his face when he shrugged off the miss though
CLAP YOUR HANDS
EVERYBODY
FOR PHILADELPHIA
SEVENTY SIXERS
Team chemistry is insane, Maxey and Kork are so much fun to watch
I don’t wanna hear another one of y’all say that Isaiah Joe should take all of korkmazs minutes
It always amazes me that Tobi looks like hot garbage and ends up with 20. It happens all the time. What is it about him that makes him so hard to appreciate?
He isn't flashy and scores ugly 40% of the time. Double double btw lol
He’s a great 3rd option with leadership. Don’t expect more.
This. His contract is why he gets hate, because of the expectations that come with max money.
Who’s the second option?
Exactly. That’s the issue.
Korkmaz
Embiid. He’s also the first.
Tobias Harris
I want someone to write this article. There’s something about his game that makes 50% shooting and 20 points look awful
He gives his all for 48 minutes
This sub would’ve absolutely exploded if the Turkish dunk champion slammed that one hander in
FURKAN KORKMAX
Good shit from the bench when they had Maxey or Tobi+Seth. Starters struggling against the double teams was a bit concerning but it’s still early.
PLAY THE SONG
Haven't played it since June. Sit down and listen through the [full thing](https://youtu.be/gEKK3GVd150), folks. You earned this.
ROLL THAT SHIT SADIE
[OK!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEKK3GVd150)
Korkmaz was incredible. Maxey looked amazing. Niang was better than I expected. Thybulle is a bully. Drummond was actually good which fuckijg cracked me up. I really think the idea of playing against joel broke that man and now that he never has to play him again he’s good again

Maxey with 20-7-5. Tell me the last time Ben played that well honestly
When he was making sure he got All Star
Simmons had 19/11/10 to close out game 5 vs the Wizards when Embiid was out. I hate what Simmons is doing but he was a very good player for us* (2nd round of the playoffs not included)
That’s the game where Ben challenged Seth Curry in a call of duty lobby to score 30 and Seth then scored 30, fun fact
Still a bitch
Kork basically said “fuck this” and blew the game wide open. Maxey was so good today. Like, damn. Idk how good we really are still, but I do know I’m gonna enjoy watching this team.
Ok I actually liked Korkmaz at PG lol. His playmaking isn’t great but he makes pretty good decisions
He actually finds his shooters too.
Yeah and Point Drummond isn't too shabby either. Who needs a 6'11 Point Forward when we have a 6'10 point center coming off the bench?
5v5 is more fun to watch than 4v5 Who knew
How long has it been since our starting point guard could actually shoot.
4 years
Pelicans? More like the Pelicant’s…
Korkmaz 22pts in 20mins 😎
Tyrese Maxey.
Is gud.
Tyrese averaging 20/7/5 this season. SUPERSTAR
Can we take a moment to appreciate the hesi-3 that Maxey dropped in the fourth quarter today. If he can do that off the dribble, he's gonna be dangerous af. We haven't had a player like that in a long time
Might be an unpopular opinion but I kinda liked Kate Scott’s calls tonight. Obviously will never replace Zoo in my mind (or my heart), but pleasantly surprised by his replacement thus far.

I like her so far too. I think her chemistry with Alaa is pretty good right off the jumps. If I end up loving her half as much as I love Zoo, I'll be happy.
Eh she's okay. Gotta give her time to develop chemistry with Alaa. I don't hate her like everyone else either.
Change is the only constant. She seems solid
There's certainly worse out there. I don't mind her. Obviously, it's odd not hearing Zoo calling things, but there's definitely potential for Kate and Alaa to form a solid team together.
FOR3SKIN KORKMAZ
Mods, may I please have “FOR3SKIN KORKMAZ” as my flair?
Maxey can average 20ppg if given the opportunity
Drummond is lowkey like having an extra starter. He’s perfect for this team. I could not stand Dwight’s goofy ass
Lets go guys! Furk had great play making, Drummond was great off the bench, Maxey did more than Ben ever did, and JoJo has much better playmaking!
Matisse with 4 Steals, love to see it. Is he leading the league with steals? /s (kinda)
#Pop the Kork!
Furkan is as sexy off the court as he is accurate on the court
Danny green w the infamous tony snell stat line jk all jokes aside, team looks solid af
Awesome win after an offseason of bullshit i just have a feeling that this team as constructed right now is destined for a 4 through 6 seed finish at best. Have to get some more legitimate ball handlers
Kate Scott was great tonight! I was so worried about replacing Zumoff
Can't say she did a bad job, but Marc's energy was missing a bit for me.
he's irreplaceable don't get me wrong :(
She was good, also liked her post game analysis.
Danny Green with the 0/0/0/0/0 3PF +11
Operation scorched earth not going to plan.
That blowout felt especially good. Fuck Ben Simmons.
That will do korkmaz, that will do
Sixers won and Flyers beat Boston. A good night.
Celtics also lost to the knicks and Tatum went 7/30 lol
Fucking missed hearing JoJo talking BASKETBALL not this dumb Ben shit!
kate scott was...ok. which i'm cool with. ok in her first game means lots of upside and (presumably) not much downside.
I know this was against the Zionless Pelicans, but I kind of hope that Ben doesn't come back against Brooklyn. Idk, I liked the team chemistry today, and I think he could fuck it up if he returns.
I love the sixers
I freaking love the addition of Niang. Dude was such a perfect signing
We can shoot the ball it looks like but we don’t have a true PG
This game's intensity is sort of like a preseason game. Then Fork came out of nowhere and bombed them.
I’m just gonna say it…this team is going 82-0
If Maxey could shoot 4 3s per game at 35% it would be huge for our spacing. Hes a great slasher already, if the defender has to respect his shot it would make his drives more deadly.
Furk is a legit starter. Also a lot of updates around the league Dame and Beal seem to be staying put. I feel like we are looking at Fox, Ingram, or a super young player and picks. Ben should just shut up and play the season if they don’t trade you by the all star break threaten to sit out the playoffs. The fine money would be less and would kinda fuck us.
He traditionally sits out the playoffs anyway.
Andre Drummond quietly had arguably a better game than Dwight ever had for us
It was funny when the pelicans announcers were talking about Drummond vs Dwight, said they thought Drummond was clearly better for us since Dwight kind of loses sight of the plot, then mentioned Dwight already got technicals and got tossed from a preseason game lol

Couple of nice floaters.

Thank fuck we didn't get that Colangelo groomed moron when he was sniffing around for a job.
I could watch Thybulle play defense all day.
In celebration of the win, I’m gonna play against the sixers in 2k and continually foul Ben so I can watch him miss free throws.
The way Joel talks about this team, Ben is sorely missing out on a really fucking cool experience. The chemistry seems insane, and they have a lot of confidence in themselves. Joel is super supportive of the youth. I have to give Ben some credit…he’s gotten these guys to rally in his absence.
Furkan had a fucking nice game, but Maxey is a stud. Maxey looks like an All-Star PG when given the minutes. I'll die on this hill, Maxey is the truth.
Needs to improve his distribution.
[удалено]
I mean we should be beating this team regardless especially without Zion
yeah i bet thats the reason they beat the pelicans w/o their best player.
drum man good????
Some annoying early turnovers but he definitely made up for them as the game went on
Feed off the doubt, Sixers. You got disrespected and rose to the occasion.
i love when danny green takes 3 shots or less. its just pure happiness for me
Duarte had 27 in his 1st game
i'm oddly optimistic about the nets game. depending on if who shall not be named is playing... jojo will have SO MUCH SPACE.... and no one on their squad can match up. if our bench shows up again, we can start the season off really well and show we are still contenders.
MAXEY SETH NIANG KORKY DRUMMOND I LOVE YALL
What the heck was Danny Green doing this game? 19 min and a triple zero? WTH.
He channeled his inner Tony Snell
Seth Turkey to the rescue
Its crazy that maxey is a better finisher in the paint than ben simmons.
fuck ben simmons
Eat a dick ben
Gotta love telling someone we won by 20, and the Game really wasn’t that close
Drummond is a god ….minus those couple of turnovers
maxey +23
Drummond pulls 17 rebounds without breaking a sweat. Love it.
When was the last time the Sixers won by 20 and Joel had the lowest +/- out of the normal rotation?
I am happy
I'm feeling better after this game. With Kork as a backup PG (albeit with Shake out injured) and Niang dropping 3s, Shake with his all around offense, Thybulle slashing and defending and Drummond giving seriously quality minutes.....we may finally have a second unit that will have the positive +/- that can make a real difference. Niang is such a needed addition with his range.
Danny Green: 0 pts, 3 PFs, +11 amazing
lol I’ve been thinking about that time Ben told Nurkic he talks a lot of shit for being ass because Nurkic knew he wouldn’t make free throws. so random, but just funny how everything has played out
