Tobias Harris’s lack of criticism 

Post#1 » by GrandTheftRondo » Fri May 3, 2024 4:07 am

Genuinely astounding.

39 mil, 0 points in 26 minutes in a must win game.

I know he’ll be gone from Philly end of season but man I’ve never seen a dude escape criticism like this guy.

Every playoffs he’s just out there doing cardio.

He lacks criticism because you forget he’s even on the court most of time.

Thankfully this should be his last mass overpay.

He's the most generic, average NBA SF there is. The only thing he's good at is stealing money.

With his size and athletic ability it’s quite hilarious how mediocre he is.

Here's hoping Detroit doesn't do the unthinkable. Save that money for someone who's good.

He’s a cautionary tale in maxing a guy just because you gave up an unprotected first to get his expiring contract. Doc Rivers did wonders in pumping up his trade value to offload him to a rookie GM in Elton “deer in headlights” Brand.

Obvious hindsight (and seemed obvious at the time) is they should have kept Butler over him.

I will say he was a very decent player (not max worthy) who constantly had to sacrifice for the team or scheme.

It’ll be interesting next year when he’s elsewhere to see how much he has left as I personally suspect he’s been cashing his pay cheque and mentally checked out from Philly after years of abuse. We’ll find out I guess, but I imagine the feelings will be mutual when they part ways.

Because he's already (accurately) graded as an extremely overpaid very average forward and no one is objecting this. I mean, expectations were low to begin with.

But he put up 0 points. 0!

That’s 12th man on roster level garbage

Yes you're absolutely right, pathetic performance. I was just trying to explain why he is not going to be the one criticized at this very moment.

Everyone knows he sucks. There was no expectation for him to play well.

Can you blame him? He had to play vs the Hall of Famer Brunson in the 1st round.

Anybody else would've done the same as Tobias Harris

If you criticize a player because you expect him to be better, so Harris not getting criticism is in fact the biggest criticism, that he has become such an irrelevant scrub no one thinks he's even worth criticizing cuz everyone already has a low expectation of him.

Yeah, you must not live in the NE if you think he's not criticized.

Sixers fans have hated him for years....

Waste of a roster spot on an NBA roster. Could be quite good in Euroleague though.

He’s so lucky he’s not on the Lakers :lol:

I’m sure he’s criticized locally but he’s irrelevant outside of Philly. He’d get treated so much worse than Westbrook and DLo get treated, just dragged if he were in LA.
