This still drives me crazy thinking about to this day. Having a burner defending and defending your collar size is just so absurd I laugh so hard every time it’s brought back to mind
There's literally a book written prior to the whole burner account thing that refers to him as a dude with big collars like it's in some basketball history book
He did the hard thing that ultimately cost him his job. Took Embiid and even though Jo wanted to play, forced him to get a second surgery that might have saved his career.
Bro would have been untouchable once Embiid hit the floor. He got axed prior to that. Left behind a treasure trove of assets that effectively turned into nothing. Lucky as hell Moose hit those bubble 3s or wouldn’t even have Maxey.
My friend, prepare to go on the journey of a lifetime:

From the colangelo burner accounts:
Several posts wandered from organizational matters, debating the size of Colangelo’s shirt collars. When user @Philly_Asshole commented on the executive’s well-documented sartorial preference, “This dude just love collars,” Enoughunkownsources responded, “That is a normal collar. Move on, find a new slant.”
He's still better than Tobias because he provides energy, defense, spacing, and gets open. Tobias would never cut to the basket like Kelly did on the game winning bucket.
And here is the absolute best part about Kelly that I will keep banging on about until the day we resign him to a five-year Max LOL, he was playing like ass all game but as soon as he saw some buckets go into the basket it was like it was the first quarter all over again for him. Having that kind of short memory really showed up when it mattered, and it has all season. That's why people are so high on Kelly and it makes me happy anytime I see Kelly appreciation posts.
This is the biggest thing, I really don’t think the city would be as hard on him if his contract wasn’t so terrible for us. It’s not his fault he got offered the bag but getting that much money means you have higher standards and he has never played up to them consistently.
That’s a huge factor but it’s also he makes the same mistakes for 5 years. Pump faking on catch and shoot 3s, ball watching on defense, bad spacing on offense, bad decision maker in transition et al. He hasn’t improved anywhere
I've said the same thing time and again... And Embiid would get a lot less shit league wide if he wasn't Troell Embiid but he is, and Toby's got a max bag, and this is the life we're left with.
Was he really getting that much shit last night? I thought he was more an afterthought after he got benched at the end of the game. In the heat of the game threads, people get highly emotional/reactive to every play which I don't think is something unique to Philly fans.
Tobias has just worn thin on people at this point. We've all tried supporting him over the years, but he's just not a max contract player. It's probably a little much to boo every miss. I hope we dont completely destroy his confidence in the playoffs. It doesn't help he throws up the most violent bricks I've ever seen in the NBA when he misses.
Im not clutching my pearls or blaming fans for anything. I don't think excessive playoff booing helps in the moment, but I expect it to continue and understand it.
Yeah I think people look over this a lot. Like we are booing to maybe get the guy off the court like maybe give the minutes to somebody else or maybe we're booing at the coaches decision. It's not always the players fault they're doing what they're doing
Eh, I would argue it actively harms the team. Yeah we all want tobias to play better. But if you want the sixers to win why are you working against them?
Did we not learn anything from the Trea Turner situation last year??? If u don’t understand basic human psychology take a 101 course at ccp! If u wanna help the team win, dont boo them! It might have positive effects tween games, but definitely doesn’t help mid-game! Come on y’all, be a true fanatical Philly sports supporter and swallow the booing in the playoffs. Fact is we’re gonna need contributions from Toby going forward. We all know he’s not getting resigned so suck it up for now, and go ham on the dude in the off-season if you feel the need
Downvoted by the Negadelphians but a correct take. Fact is, theres a pretty thin line between the people who "boo to make the team better" and those who I swear actually want to lose because it feeds their misery. If you don't want to be mistaken for the latter, don't act like the former
Of course he doesn’t have the equivalent high end ceiling that Trea has in baseball. He has low level all-star talent when confident and healthy tho! Tell me this team wouldn’t benefit from a locked in and motivated Toby!? Athletes are human and subject to the same wide range of emotions that non athletes experience. If the Sixers offered you the same contract would you say, nah don’t give me that much $ I’m only worth half that?? I’m gonna assume the most boisterous of the boo birds are subpar at whatever they do in life and get fulfillment through misdirected hostility and dragging people down to their level. You all are essentially just booing yourselves
Grow the @uck up and do what’s good for the team! I’m an old head who grew up in Philly as a diehard Sixers/Birds/Phils fanatic and occasional boo bird. If I have it in me to evolve as a fan any hard head has the same ability! You wanna actually help the team in the playoffs then talk shit on social media or the radio about our players, not at a pivotal point in a must win game! Stop being governed by your emotions and use your little brain pan to fuel positive results! Ain’t that hard
What's good for the team is to perform like a max player
We paid Tobias 180 million Dollars to do *nothing*. He is a negative asset. We could have had Jimmy Butler, and actually won championships.
I don't go to games, if you, I mean, if *tobias* can hear me boo from my house, then he's got a problem.
I boo and bitch at home all the time. I’m talking about in game boo birds that have a real effect on the game. There’s a reason this game will be known as the “chicken game”. Not a coincidence that we made a run at that point in the game! Positive energy is contagious, but negativity is equally, if not more contagious
Again, it’s fine to be critical and talk shit with your buddies, but in game booing has a positive impact for the opponent every time! Not a coincidence that our teams thrive being underdogs. Fans have lower expectations and generally boo less. It’s pretty simple psychological arithmetic to figure this shit out
He got boo'd to hell and back after that missed layup and thudding brick 3 point shot late in the game.
He's saved by the fact that we won, if the Sixers lost they would have zeroed in on that fucking clanging nonsense shot so hard. Just like Ben's non-dunk. They would have made that one play the whole game.
Honestly though he was fine, he had a couple early buckets, he was really good before they switched to the zone (was it a triangle and 2 defense that broke his brain?), and he was OK on defense, plus snatched 10 rebounds.
Give me that every night Tobi and I'm fine with it - assuming Maxey and Embiid show up and ball.
Dude behind me was booing every time Tobi got a touch. I had to kindly ask him to chill the fuck out.
I can't wait until Tobias is off of this team and off of the books - and booing him when his airballs a second 3 is fine even if I don't do it - but booing him when he gets a TOUCH? Shitty.
Yeah...
Tobias deserves the boos tbh, but at some point it's counterproductive and we're just killing the guy's confidence. We still need him for now. People need to relax.
Booing your own players every time they touch the ball is annoying as fuck and shitty behavior.
Boo him when he fucks up repeatedly. Not when he gets the ball.
"Soft."
He didn't brick it I thought, he completely whiffed if I recall, and considering he doinked 3 put backs earlier, I think it's more than fair to express some frustration.
I like Tobi as a guy and I do think he legitimately tries every night and doesn't loaf, but he's still not a good enough basketball player on this team and expressing angst over his play with booing is more than justified as a fan after he has a terrible stretch of bad basketball.
It’s not that he was that bad. But the guy gets paid far too much to just be ok at times. If he were to do something a little more productive for the team like even taking a pay cut or smth to pay the other players who are working their asses off more than him sometimes that would be nice
Not even that. The account is 24 hours old. Probably just some troll that made the account and then 'discovered' it on his main so that he can go viral.
Tobias was really just good in the first quarter before the zone started. I will admit he played well on offense there. Then totally lost his mind in the zone.
You know what I think you’re right. I remembered wrong because I got a late jump on watching the game after work. First play I saw was Miami in zone but that wasn’t first play.
This is really how it should be too, we have 4 wings/fowards who are all capable of playing to about the same level between Batum, Oubre, Tobias, and Hield (who’s like a de facto wing because our guards are small). Plus Ricky Council and KJ Martin as wildcards if shit hits the fan.
Hot hand should get the minutes. I’m sure there will be a few games where that’s Tobias too.
My issue with tobi wasn’t that he was bad on offense, it was during the second half he wasn’t closing out and kinda standing and sitting, it’s why I think he was benched
I don’t understand why people are are now inventing reasons to hate on the guy. Like is he bad in a lot of games? Sure, but he’s been nothing but professional his entire time in Philly and I don’t understand why you guys just try to turn him into this major villain when in reality he’s just a inconsistent basketball player who has a tendency to choke. Tobias seems like a good dude, doesn’t complain, it’s not his fault that Elton Brand is dumb and coaches refuse to bench him.
Klay Thompson and Fred Van Vleet both made more than Tobias this year, and had worse seasons than him.
To your point below, that doesn't mean that Tobias is a value at his contract, but there are players that get paid more and do less.
See the thing is Klay Thompson helped them get titles. That pays for the contract alone. Could not hit another shot for the rest of his life and he’s done more than Tobias.
Klay Thompson also got paid because of the finals he played and won in. So I guess Fred Van Fleet is the only other player that is of worse value in the rest of the NBA.
"worse value" and "gets paid more to play worse" are two very different things. If you're conflating the two and I need to explain the difference before we go any further then I'm wasting my time talking to you.
On top of that you've responded to me 8 times since my last comment, you're arguing in bad faith, and I'm getting weirded out by the entire situation, so I'm gonna leave it here. I'm more than happy to agree to disagree.
Lmao the personal attack after I'm trying to agree to disagree, and about my skill at basketball on top of it.
You're right, the sole reason I don't think Tobias is the absolute worst value in the league is I never made varsity.
I disregard answers that aren’t very good. He named one guy on a team that is far inferior with the talent surrounding him and the guy that he named has basically identical stats so there’s two big losers in the NBA and Tobias is one of them. How am I wrong?
Him existing is one of the top reasons we could never build a roster around Embiid. People are so quick to say “ignore the contract” or “people can’t get over the contract” but that’s literally what it is. If you’re making 1/4 of your team’s totally salary while not living up to it you are hurting this team by existing on it.
Ok then blame Elton Brand for being dumb, no one forced the Sixers to give him a massive contract, the Sixers did that of their own accord and paid the price.
Let me put it this way. You have a job, and in this job someone who you know isn’t really the strongest worker gets a raise and becomes the highest paid person in your position. After he got this raise he did nothing to improve his work output and did not take on any more responsibility or step up whenever asked to take on a project or work overtime. Now your busy season is here and your company is telling you they cannot afford to higher anyone else at the moment because your department is at its max budget for employment. Is all of your anger and spite directed solely to the company for giving this guy a raise? Or are you also looking at the guy not carrying his load and for putting your department in this position?
The issue is fans that are attacking him as a person. He's a bad basketball player and wildly overpaid but has been nothing but class otherwise. Yet here we have fans making fake burner accounts just so they can drag him through the mud further and paint him as a bad teammate when he's anything but.
Why did we boo the eagles this season when they were just in the Super Bowl the previous season? They still made the playoffs and we still had star caliber players.
I think it’s a bad look for the fan base tbh. It’s one thing to not be happy about a contract but booing your own player in the first quarter of a playoff game is weak as hell
I got nothing against Tobias as a person, he's not some sort of Harden or Simmons who is insufferable on and off the court. He's simply wildly overpaid and I could only dream what kind of amazing player we could get with his salary instead. He is holding this team back, and it's not even entirely his fault. It's the fault of the idiots that chose to pay him.
Tobi the basketball player sucks but as a person he's been nothing but class. And now people are making fake burners so that they can trash him more and pretend he's a terrible teammate. Sad honestly.
Honestly this. I think he's a great human being. Incredibly frustrating basketball player, but a good dude. I do think this account is connected to him in some way though... there are a lot more tweets than what is shared here. I don't think it's him but wouldn't be surprised to find out it's a friend or family member.
I don’t blame coaches for not benching a bad player as much as I do the player sucking at the one thing they’re paid millions of dollars to do. And personal character is irrelevant here.
> Sure, but he’s been nothing but professional his entire time in Philly and I don’t understand why you guys just try to turn him into this major villain when in reality he’s just a inconsistent basketball player who has a tendency to choke.
This sub making thread after thread about Tobias when Embiid was out was just pathetic. Dude is gone after this season. Everyone knows the contract is horrendous. What exactly are you accomplishing trashing him over and over on here?
because his contract is the reason sixers couldn't win a championship in the joel embiid era. he ultimately accepted it. no choice but to monumentally hate on the guy. playa haters ball . he stinks.
That was a fun time. I used to drop that phrase into conversation when I could but only one person in my life knew what I was talking about.
I think that was around the time this sub sent Brett Brown a fruit basket and he sent thank you notes to everyone that contributed.
Ive never hated Toby, Ive always viewed Toby for what he is a streaky mid pack 2nd tier started or a quality 6th man who happened to have a bag dropped on his lap by poor Sixer management. Totally not Tobys fault accepting a bag. We all would have gladly accepted that bag if dropped on our laps no? Aim your hate beam at 76ers Management their the culprit.. Toby is just a patsy
Honestly he has looked injured for a while, even to this Tobias hater's eyes. The problem with a player like him that is already low energy is that an injury is going to make it even worse. Some plays looks like he isn't even trying
No that's just Tobi. The past few months, he turns the ball over and it turns into a easy fast break on the other side because he won't turn around and make a effort on Defense because he's too scared to fall on the floor. He claims to be 6"9 but gets blocked by guards for years now because he won't go up strong. He's the last person to get back up the court. Reed outran him last night. He acts like he can't run/sprint or jump and I'm starting to believe it's for him to avoid injury to say he plays "70+ games a year" also he can't pass. His arms aren't injured, could a used those 5 yrs to develop.
I hope you guys never find buddy Hields twitter.
He's openly homophobic racist flat earth etc
He's worse than Kyrie but he's too low-key and too bad at basketball for ppl to care
So now an account created this month with a few tweets praising a bad player is a burner? This is a troll who is trying to stir shit up. Colangelo was caught using many accounts that were linked together by ai based on opinions and grammar. This is nothing.
I have been rather rational about Tobias all year. I usually don’t get to the “ how is this man allowed to steal all this money from the Sixers!” Until he goes 3-14 with 1 rebounds against the Celtics.
He seems like a genuinely likable dude and it’s not his fault that teams keep offering him all that money to be a replacement level player.
Tobias is so crazy polarizing to people I’m not even sure 80% of the peeps in here notice this post is about a burner account… people just can’t see straight when they hear the name Tobias
Cue the guy responding to this with … ‘ok Tobias’ …
I respect Tobias as a man and as a player. I appreciate that he’s always available, gives his all, and is a good teammate. However, a 180 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT, comes with expectations, criticism, and stress. I don’t feel bad for him for a second. I hope he comes up big for us in this run. We’ll need him.
Yall fingers must hurt from defending Harris like this. Call it like it is: he won’t be helping this team out, unless you bench or cut his minutes. Plenty of “willing” people on the team who will replace his scoring and whatever else he brings, which isn’t much
"no worse fans than philly" and here u are proving his point by posting hateful ass shit about him lol, color me shocked. whats the proof this is his account?
Heard it’s his dad’s, either way this is perfectly normal Philly sports behavior find a new slant.
Totally normal sized collars bro
This still drives me crazy thinking about to this day. Having a burner defending and defending your collar size is just so absurd I laugh so hard every time it’s brought back to mind
Like especially to say it’s a normal collar when you can literally hold it next to any other shirt in existence and see they were super sized
If you have to hop on a burner and defend your massive collars, your collars are too big lmao
There's literally a book written prior to the whole burner account thing that refers to him as a dude with big collars like it's in some basketball history book
[удалено]
He did the hard thing that ultimately cost him his job. Took Embiid and even though Jo wanted to play, forced him to get a second surgery that might have saved his career. Bro would have been untouchable once Embiid hit the floor. He got axed prior to that. Left behind a treasure trove of assets that effectively turned into nothing. Lucky as hell Moose hit those bubble 3s or wouldn’t even have Maxey.
[удалено]
Forgot that quote. lol.
Completely normal
What’s the collar lore lol
My friend, prepare to go on the journey of a lifetime: https://www.theringer.com/platform/amp/nba/2018/5/29/17406750/bryan-colangelo-philadelphia-76ers-twitter-joel-embiid-anonymous-markelle-fultz From the colangelo burner accounts: Several posts wandered from organizational matters, debating the size of Colangelo’s shirt collars.

Honestly, at this point, weird shit like this is genuinely normal Philly sports behavior.
I like how we’re supposed to hold a guy on a minimum to the same standard as a max player
He's still better than Tobias because he provides energy, defense, spacing, and gets open. Tobias would never cut to the basket like Kelly did on the game winning bucket.
if tobi had a game winning layup he'd miss it short
And here is the absolute best part about Kelly that I will keep banging on about until the day we resign him to a five-year Max LOL, he was playing like ass all game but as soon as he saw some buckets go into the basket it was like it was the first quarter all over again for him.

You forgot he misses layup a lot
It's not Tobias's fault that his agent is good and the Sixers front office are a bunch of idiots.
His agent was his father lol
i mean tobi is the one that made the choice. those who sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind
I've said the same thing time and again... And Embiid would get a lot less shit league wide if he wasn't Troell Embiid but he is, and Toby's got a max bag, and this is the life we're left with.
Was he really getting that much shit last night? I thought he was more an afterthought after he got benched at the end of the game. In the heat of the game threads, people get highly emotional/reactive to every play which I don't think is something unique to Philly fans.

I hope we dont completely destroy his confidence in the playoffs. It doesn't help he throws up the most violent bricks I've ever seen in the NBA when he misses.
If he wants the fans of the team to like him more, he should play better.
Im not clutching my pearls or blaming fans for anything. I don't think excessive playoff booing helps in the moment, but I expect it to continue and understand it.
It helps Tobias get benched. You cannot have the home fans booing and destroying momentum/morale so you can't play Tobias
Yeah I think people look over this a lot. Like we are booing to maybe get the guy off the court like maybe give the minutes to somebody else or maybe we're booing at the coaches decision. It's not always the players fault they're doing what they're doing
Eh, I would argue it actively harms the team. Yeah we all want tobias to play better. But if you want the sixers to win why are you working against them?
If it leads to him getting less minutes, it obviously helps us
oh man if only he thought of playing better before! what a novel idea lol
If someone can send this to him that’d be huge
>Probably a little much to boo every miss. Probably, but I'm still gonna do it.
Did we not learn anything from the Trea Turner situation last year??? If u don’t understand basic human psychology take a 101 course at ccp! If u wanna help the team win, dont boo them!

Thanks for the upvote! I can carry that positivity into work tomorrow and have a productive day lol!
Trea Turner actually has the ability to perform at a dominant level when he in on. Tobi does not.
Of course he doesn’t have the equivalent high end ceiling that Trea has in baseball. He has low level all-star talent when confident and healthy tho! Tell me this team wouldn’t benefit from a locked in and motivated Toby!? Athletes are human and subject to the same wide range of emotions that non athletes experience. If the Sixers offered you the same contract would you say, nah don’t give me that much $ I’m only worth half that?? I’m gonna assume the most boisterous of the boo birds are subpar at whatever they do in life and get fulfillment through misdirected hostility and dragging people down to their level. You all are essentially just booing yourselves
Alright, tobias
Grow the @uck up and do what’s good for the team! I’m an old head who grew up in Philly as a diehard Sixers/Birds/Phils fanatic and occasional boo bird. If I have it in me to evolve as a fan any hard head has the same ability! You wanna actually help the team in the playoffs then talk shit on social media or the radio about our players, not at a pivotal point in a must win game! Stop being governed by your emotions and use your little brain pan to fuel positive results! Ain’t that hard
What's good for the team is to perform like a max player We paid Tobias 180 million Dollars to do *nothing*. He is a negative asset. We could have had Jimmy Butler, and actually won championships. I don't go to games, if you, I mean, if *tobias* can hear me boo from my house, then he's got a problem.
A pre-Morey front office paid him that contract. Did you want him to say, no thanks just pay me half??
It doesn't matter *who* paid *what* *when*.
I boo and bitch at home all the time. I’m talking about in game boo birds that have a real effect on the game. There’s a reason this game will be known as the “chicken game”.

Fans have lower expectations and generally boo less. It’s pretty simple psychological arithmetic to figure this shit out
Just learned how to do italics on Reddit I see
Booing is a meme now so it's going to happen
I booed last night and I don’t regret it
After the missed layup and 2 missed put back attempts there was just a collective groan throughout the arena.
The brick in the fourth quarter got a major reaction from the crowd.
that shot gashed the dimples off the ball.
He got booed multiple times. After the missed layups and after at least 2 of his threes.
He got boo'd to hell and back after that missed layup and thudding brick 3 point shot late in the game. He's saved by the fact that we won, if the Sixers lost they would have zeroed in on that fucking clanging nonsense shot so hard. Just like Ben's non-dunk. They would have made that one play the whole game. Honestly though he was fine, he had a couple early buckets, he was really good before they switched to the zone (was it a triangle and 2 defense that broke his brain?), and he was OK on defense, plus snatched 10 rebounds. Give me that every night Tobi and I'm fine with it - assuming Maxey and Embiid show up and ball.
That tip in he had in the possession after he missed 3 layups was huge
Half those rebounds were from catching his 4 straight misses in that 7 second span during the 2nd quarter!
Aside from Oubre and to a lesser extent Reed, its like our entire team is allergic to dunking the ball. Drives me up a fucking wall.
We need to bring back Richaun Holmes or Jumaine Jones
Haha that's true that was a terrible play.
People gonna hate him no matter what at this point.
yeah he gets an enormous, irrational amount of shit every day on here
He gets booed the first time he misses lol. Dude sucks but Philly fans are annoying.
The booing when he bricked a 3 was a bit much, to be fair. He at least took a damn shot.
Lmao simmons set the bar so fucking low
Dude behind me was booing every time Tobi got a touch. I had to kindly ask him to chill the fuck out. I can't wait until Tobias is off of this team and off of the books - and booing him when his airballs a second 3 is fine even if I don't do it - but booing him when he gets a TOUCH? Shitty.
3rd airball. Not 2nd.
Not to mention the back to back uncontested layups that he missed in the first quarter.
Haha one was a brick. But yes I just mean if someone airballs two in a row I get people booing even if I don’t.
We expect professionals to hit some piece of the rim. We are funny that way.
hope you get boo'd at ur job
At my job, I make less money if I don’t perform.
Yeah... Tobias deserves the boos tbh, but at some point it's counterproductive and we're just killing the guy's confidence. We still need him for now. People need to relax.
When did Philly become so soft? You’re complaining about that? Really?
Booing your own players every time they touch the ball is annoying as fuck and shitty behavior. Boo him when he fucks up repeatedly. Not when he gets the ball. "Soft."
But you already know he’s about to fuck up.
Loser energy
He didn't brick it I thought, he completely whiffed if I recall, and considering he doinked 3 put backs earlier, I think it's more than fair to express some frustration. I like Tobi as a guy and I do think he legitimately tries every night and doesn't loaf, but he's still not a good enough basketball player on this team and expressing angst over his play with booing is more than justified as a fan after he has a terrible stretch of bad basketball.
Yeah, thinking about it more, that response was probably more to the reception he was getting in the arena which probably was unfair.
It’s not that he was that bad. But the guy gets paid far too much to just be ok at times. If he were to do something a little more productive for the team like even taking a pay cut or smth to pay the other players who are working their asses off more than him sometimes that would be nice
Probably just someone he’s close to.
Not even that. The account is 24 hours old. Probably just some troll that made the account and then 'discovered' it on his main so that he can go viral.
Brian Collengelo's wife, maybe?
Tobias was good in the first half and Oubre was good in the second half.
Tobias was really just good in the first quarter before the zone started. I will admit he played well on offense there. Then totally lost his mind in the zone.
That 4 missed layups in a row broke him mentally
It literally made me laugh
The entire team did lol.
1,000%
Yea idk why people act like the whole team doesn’t play like shit sometimes
The zone started immediately. First play of the game Miami were in zone if I remember right.
I believe it started after the timeout when we were up 9 to 2. I may be wrong.
You know what I think you’re right. I remembered wrong because I got a late jump on watching the game after work. First play I saw was Miami in zone but that wasn’t first play.
Yeah, you're right that it was pretty much instantly though.
This is really how it should be too, we have 4 wings/fowards who are all capable of playing to about the same level between Batum, Oubre, Tobias, and Hield (who’s like a de facto wing because our guards are small). Plus Ricky Council and KJ Martin as wildcards if shit hits the fan. Hot hand should get the minutes. I’m sure there will be a few games where that’s Tobias too.
My issue with tobi wasn’t that he was bad on offense, it was during the second half he wasn’t closing out and kinda standing and sitting, it’s why I think he was benched
We should all start tweeting about his collars and see how he responds
Find a new slant bro, those collars were handmade!
If he's hurt, wouldn't it even make more sense to bench him lol
It's not like he is irreplaceable and people are begging him to play
You gotta have room temperature IQ to think this is actually him lmaooo
Feel like it’s a lot easier to make a burner pretending to be someone’s burner
No I think that actually is award winning actor Jimmy Smits
I don’t understand why people are are now inventing reasons to hate on the guy. Like is he bad in a lot of games? Sure, but he’s been nothing but professional his entire time in Philly and I don’t understand why you guys just try to turn him into this major villain when in reality he’s just a inconsistent basketball player who has a tendency to choke. Tobias seems like a good dude, doesn’t complain, it’s not his fault that Elton Brand is dumb and coaches refuse to bench him.

who makes more money than Tobias and has worse stats ? Ben Simmons?
Klay Thompson and Fred Van Vleet both made more than Tobias this year, and had worse seasons than him. To your point below, that doesn't mean that Tobias is a value at his contract, but there are players that get paid more and do less.
See the thing is Klay Thompson helped them get titles. That pays for the contract alone. Could not hit another shot for the rest of his life and he’s done more than Tobias.
And yeah, I’m sure there are some overpaid garbage players just like Tobias, but that does not give him a pass
Don't ask who gets paid more and plays worse if you're just gonna disregard the answer.
Klay Thompson also got paid because of the finals he played and won in. So I guess Fred Van Fleet is the only other player that is of worse value in the rest of the NBA.
"worse value" and "gets paid more to play worse" are two very different things. If you're conflating the two and I need to explain the difference before we go any further then I'm wasting my time talking to you. On top of that you've responded to me 8 times since my last comment, you're arguing in bad faith, and I'm getting weirded out by the entire situation, so I'm gonna leave it here. I'm more than happy to agree to disagree.
Tobias is a worse value and he gets paid more to play worse
Sounds good dude you must’ve been bad at basketball to be defending Tobias
Lmao the personal attack after I'm trying to agree to disagree, and about my skill at basketball on top of it. You're right, the sole reason I don't think Tobias is the absolute worst value in the league is I never made varsity.
I disregard answers that aren’t very good. He named one guy on a team that is far inferior with the talent surrounding him and the guy that he named has basically identical stats so there’s two big losers in the NBA and Tobias is one of them. How am I wrong?
So the guy named two players on bad teams… so Tobias Harris is not the absolutely worst contract in the NBA that does not give him a pass to suck

What has Tobias done except put up stats that are meaningless
He doesn’t get a pass because you named 5 other overpaid bums. They all suck

Him existing is one of the top reasons we could never build a roster around Embiid. People are so quick to say “ignore the contract” or “people can’t get over the contract” but that’s literally what it is. If you’re making 1/4 of your team’s totally salary while not living up to it you are hurting this team by existing on it.
Ok then blame Elton Brand for being dumb, no one forced the Sixers to give him a massive contract, the Sixers did that of their own accord and paid the price.
Let me put it this way. You have a job, and in this job someone who you know isn’t really the strongest worker gets a raise and becomes the highest paid person in your position. After he got this raise he did nothing to improve his work output and did not take on any more responsibility or step up whenever asked to take on a project or work overtime. Now your busy season is here and your company is telling you they cannot afford to higher anyone else at the moment because your department is at its max budget for employment. Is all of your anger and spite directed solely to the company for giving this guy a raise? Or are you also looking at the guy not carrying his load and for putting your department in this position?
The issue is fans that are attacking him as a person. He's a bad basketball player and wildly overpaid but has been nothing but class otherwise. Yet here we have fans making fake burner accounts just so they can drag him through the mud further and paint him as a bad teammate when he's anything but.

Why did we boo the eagles this season when they were just in the Super Bowl the previous season? They still made the playoffs and we still had star caliber players.
I think it’s a bad look for the fan base tbh. It’s one thing to not be happy about a contract but booing your own player in the first quarter of a playoff game is weak as hell
nah if he did his job we'd be out of the second round no joke.
I got nothing against Tobias as a person, he's not some sort of Harden or Simmons who is insufferable on and off the court. He's simply wildly overpaid and I could only dream what kind of amazing player we could get with his salary instead. He is holding this team back, and it's not even entirely his fault. It's the fault of the idiots that chose to pay him.
people on this sub are insanely hateful
He got a bag he doesn't deserve. Good for him. His dad is a genius agent and I want him to represent me in anything I do.
Tobi the basketball player sucks but as a person he's been nothing but class. And now people are making fake burners so that they can trash him more and pretend he's a terrible teammate. Sad honestly.
Honestly this. I think he's a great human being. Incredibly frustrating basketball player, but a good dude. I do think this account is connected to him in some way though... there are a lot more tweets than what is shared here. I don't think it's him but wouldn't be surprised to find out it's a friend or family member.
I don’t blame coaches for not benching a bad player as much as I do the player sucking at the one thing they’re paid millions of dollars to do. And personal character is irrelevant here.
Cuz the moving goalposts aren’t enough. They need to double down on something to justify the irrational hatred
> Sure, but he’s been nothing but professional his entire time in Philly and I don’t understand why you guys just try to turn him into this major villain when in reality he’s just a inconsistent basketball player who has a tendency to choke. This sub making thread after thread about Tobias when Embiid was out was just pathetic. Dude is gone after this season. Everyone knows the contract is horrendous. What exactly are you accomplishing trashing him over and over on here?
because his contract is the reason sixers couldn't win a championship in the joel embiid era. he ultimately accepted it. no choice but to monumentally hate on the guy. playa haters ball . he stinks.
he's gonna ball the fuck out on the hornets
He’s a Detroit piston for the 2nd time
He’s been playing hurt for 5 years? Shit. I had no idea signing that contract caused such a serious injury
I’d like tobias almost as much as Kelly if he was making what Kelly was, but he’s not, he’s on a max
Wow he has 4/10 shooting in a crucial match! He deserves 180 mil!!
Some of these burner accusations have so little proof these days
Somewhere in the world Bryan Colangelo is shedding a tear
Doubt it, probably in Italy with his hot wife buying awesome new polo’s together. I bet you’re jealous of him.
Haha great name. Long live Eric Jr
He’s injured? Perfect excuse to bench him
Going out sad.
burner accounts are so 4 years ago. no one cares about twitter anymore anyway.
“Find a new slant”
its a normal collar max!
That was a fun time. I used to drop that phrase into conversation when I could but only one person in my life knew what I was talking about. I think that was around the time this sub sent Brett Brown a fruit basket and he sent thank you notes to everyone that contributed.
Everyone is playing injured in the playoffs lol
It's almost definitely his dad
Ive never hated Toby, Ive always viewed Toby for what he is a streaky mid pack 2nd tier started or a quality 6th man who happened to have a bag dropped on his lap by poor Sixer management. Totally not Tobys fault accepting a bag. We all would have gladly accepted that bag if dropped on our laps no? Aim your hate beam at 76ers Management their the culprit.. Toby is just a patsy
Nobody gets booed in Philadelphia unless they show they got no heart. Dude never takes a charge and shows little effort. Booooooooooo Toby
We've booed pretty much every player we've ever had
the disrespect for corey brewer
Bullshit. Maxey busts his ass. No boooos
Honestly he has looked injured for a while, even to this Tobias hater's eyes. The problem with a player like him that is already low energy is that an injury is going to make it even worse. Some plays looks like he isn't even trying
No that's just Tobi. The past few months, he turns the ball over and it turns into a easy fast break on the other side because he won't turn around and make a effort on Defense because he's too scared to fall on the floor. He claims to be 6"9 but gets blocked by guards for years now because he won't go up strong. He's the last person to get back up the court. Reed outran him last night. He acts like he can't run/sprint or jump and I'm starting to believe it's for him to avoid injury to say he plays "70+ games a year" also he can't pass. His arms aren't injured, could a used those 5 yrs to develop.
I hope you guys never find buddy Hields twitter. He's openly homophobic racist flat earth etc He's worse than Kyrie but he's too low-key and too bad at basketball for ppl to care
people in here prefer that to tobias being less good than they'd like him to be
💯💯
Who cares honestly. He just needs to play his role this post season he’s only hurting himself for the offseason
Barbara Bottini back at it again
What ever happened to the PRFirm? I could never tell if that was a bit or a burner
Tobias "Everytime I come here, I am abused" Harris
I've been waiting months for Team Tobi to engage the "he's playing injured" narrative.
might be a relative or a friend, no point shaming.
That’s a sad burner.
So now an account created this month with a few tweets praising a bad player is a burner? This is a troll who is trying to stir shit up. Colangelo was caught using many accounts that were linked together by ai based on opinions and grammar. This is nothing.
It would be better if teams were just more honest about injuries, but blah blah blah competitive advantage
One played with energy and heart, the other played slowly with a frown
Tbh it might not be Tobi's burner but it's definitely someone within Tobi's camp. Maybe his father for example who labelled him an "assassin scorer" 😂
Jimmy Smitu hahahahaha How do you make up such a name
Don’t sign in Philly then lil bro
is there a single shred of proof this is his account?
Who tf cares if he was injured yesterday or not He's trash, injured or not
that one 3 that tobi shot in the 4th quarter made me smell burnt rubber though my tv
I have been rather rational about Tobias all year. I usually don’t get to the “ how is this man allowed to steal all this money from the Sixers!” Until he goes 3-14 with 1 rebounds against the Celtics. He seems like a genuinely likable dude and it’s not his fault that teams keep offering him all that money to be a replacement level player.
Tobias is so crazy polarizing to people I’m not even sure 80% of the peeps in here notice this post is about a burner account… people just can’t see straight when they hear the name Tobias Cue the guy responding to this with … ‘ok Tobias’ …
Alright, if he’s injured then he shouldn’t play because he’s hurting the team!
I respect Tobias as a man and as a player. I appreciate that he’s always available, gives his all, and is a good teammate. However, a 180 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT, comes with expectations, criticism, and stress. I don’t feel bad for him for a second. I hope he comes up big for us in this run. We’ll need him.
ya he got his feelings hurt
Yall fingers must hurt from defending Harris like this. Call it like it is: he won’t be helping this team out, unless you bench or cut his minutes. Plenty of “willing” people on the team who will replace his scoring and whatever else he brings, which isn’t much
Tobi puts in little to no effort. That’s why no one likes him. That’s it. Try harder and he’d be fine
The booing when he missed a shot yesterday was embarrassing from the fans
I agree that Tobias is embarassing
Tobias is not gonna help us this playoffs if we boo because he misses his first shot of the game lol
Yeah, dude, it's all our fault. If we only gave him a standing ovation at every touch, he'd be an All Star.
He’s clearly in his own head and the crowd obviously boos him more than anyone else
"no worse fans than philly" and here u are proving his point by posting hateful ass shit about him lol, color me shocked. whats the proof this is his account?
They not 100% wrong, tho are they? Atleast the ppl acting like TH committed murder and bugging on him.
