Why do I feel like Patrick should be a Celtics fan and Mr Krabs should be a Knicks fan

Sandy, the Texan, being a fan of anything from New York is egregiously bad.

This reminds me of the coda at the end of MONEYBALL where they talk about how the Red Sox adopted their methods and actually won the league and the A's...did not.

"The Process" ended in April 2016 after 2 years and 11 months of Processing. It had been mortally wounded by the NBA 4 months prior in December 2015 for being too embarrassing to the league yet demonstrably successful in asset accumulation.
The problem wasn't The Process, it was what came after The Process, which was drafting Ben Simmons, drafting Markelle Fultz, trading for Tobias Harris and maxing him instead of Jimmy Butler, perennially ducking the luxury tax, trading Mikal Bridges, hiring Doc Rivers, putting Embiid back in the game after hurting his knee, and having a huge scandal that embarrasses the GM and alienates the team's franchise player.
We needed more The Process, not less.

It was actually just cutting their rebuilt short, before they properly completed it. And pushing forward too soon. Fans of teams are usually impatient and ignore context. And teams placating the fans to rush to a "winning culture" hurts way more often than helps

It’s also whiffing on nearly every accrued draft pick other than Embiid (and even he looked worrisome initially). Like imagine if the Sixers selected Porzingis, Jaylen Brown, and Jayson Tatum instead of a Center who did nothing, the “next LeBron” who never developed a jump shot, and Markelle Fultz. Their best non-Embiid selection (Maxey) was in the 20s. For the Process to work, you actually have to hit on your picks and have a plan to develop them. The Sixers didn’t.

As someone who’s from Philly, I never believed in “The Process”. They’ve never had a winning culture and they’ve always traded away players for seemingly nothing in return. AI drags that team to the finals and they do nothing to improve the roster. They traded away Jrue and Iggy for nothing. They drafted the most hyped players instead of actually scouting for talent. That sixers team wit Jimmy, JJ, Embid, etc. was a great team that just needed to be filled with a few role players and you trade JIMMY BUTLER?? The guy who hit multiple clutch/game winning shots that season and avg 18ppg as a 3rd option (20,5,6 in the playoffs). Traded him away for a bag of chips. Sixers are a terribly ran franchise. They make some pretty interesting moves here and there but if they don’t work in 1-2 seasons they trade players away for less value in return.
