The Results Driven Milwaukee Bucks Get Demolished by 35 as the Sixers Clinch the No. 3 Seed
If we’ve learned anything this week, as Mark Zuckerberg tries to explain to a panel of 80 year old white guys how Facebook works, it’s that social media is a powerful thing. It’s important to remember if you’re using social media that its users never forget:

So, after that dumb quote, it is only fitting that the Philadelphia 76ers set a franchise record for consecutive wins at 16 by demolishing the Bucks by 35 and in the process (no pun intended) clinching the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference. On a night where there was obviously no Embiid, JJ Redick was a late scratch with back tightness and Ben Simmons got into foul trouble early, it was never even close.
Justin Anderson finished one point shy of a career high, TJ McConnelol also chipped in double digits and Markelle Fultz provided us with a moment we endured four years of losing for:
Look at how Markelle Fultz’s teammates react to his triple double. They genuinely love the kid. Heart-warming stuff. #Sixers pic.twitter.com/V73AEOZenW

And for those “results driven” Milwaukee Bucks, they fired their coach mid-season, underachieved at 44 wins, and ended up as the 7 seed in a weak Eastern Conference. Hell of a year, fellas.
If there’s anything worse than having to live in Milwaukee, it’s rooting for a team who’s owner promised you, you’d at least have a good basketball team to follow while living in that, “shithole” (Embiid, 2016).
In the scheme of things, Bucks Owner, Wes Edens is just another misinformed guy, taking a shock jock approach to gaining some attention by slandering The Process…only to have it blow up in his face…

At least Milwaukee made the playoffs. The Lakers and the Pistons, both of which have coaches who criticized Sam Hinkie’s strategy, have a great seat to see where our 52 win season takes us in the Postseason.
Maybe one day, the people who criticized us will realize how blatantly wrong they were. Maybe one day I’ll stop getting mad about comments like this. Today is not that day. Today, I’m fueled up on ripping a teams heart out by beating them by 45 and Phillies extra inning baseball. From now until the weekend I’m listening to nothing but Meek Mill intros, looking at that tweet every night when I got to bed, and restoring my voice I lost while non-stop booing of Malcom Brogdon.
Process then, Process now, Process forever so take your results and shove it.
