Yep, I get he is getting up there and this a short term thing but I think he will get back into form and give them 2-3 elite to really good seasons. I think that is worth it, they could win a championship if he get back to his Houston level.

Or maybe NBA officials could actually call what's going on fairly rather than on reputation and narrative.

People need to stop making excuses for them and hold them accountable. No other sporting league in the world has this kind of approach to officiating, it's nonsense.


THIS had to be said! Spot on. Bravo.

Not an acceptable post, don’t wish injuries on players.

The game is totally rigged and has 0 credibility. Tonight Dave and Jim were talking about how Harden is a master of bending and reshaping the rules. You literally cannot make that **** up. Imagine in football if the best corners could just hold the opposing wideouts the entire play. Or if guys could line up offside and were exempt from hits on the QB rules because they were known to be the best. Harden broke the rules and got away with it because the refs decided to let him. If KAT got half the whistles Embiid gets he would be MVP.

Ant needs to get some GPS because he is lost right now and he better find himself soon. His game has fallen off a ******* cliff and we need him to at least make his free throws.

As frustrating as this loss is, it was basically expected. This was similar to that Suns-Warriors B2B in that given where all the teams are in their development we should be expecting losses. The fact we beat Memphis is great. That we lost this game is acceptable.

That said, **** Embiid, **** Harden and **** these refs. I look forward to the inevitable 3-1 collapse.

9/39 three pointers. Pathetic. Shooting continues to be by far the biggest problem on this team for decades and it's never addressed. Feels like the Bears who just keep trying to win without a good QB year in and year out

I said we need to go 2 for 4 in this stretch and we are on pace for that. Cleveland without LeVert and hopefully without Garland should be vulnerable. Our schedule gets much more manageable after this unfortunate stretch. I still think we can get to 6th but assuming we go 2 of 4 in this stretch we will need some help.

Wow Just a complete mismatch in talent we are light years away from being relevant in the NBA. What an eye-opener.

KAT Appears to be more happy about winning the three-point contest then he does playing actual basketball games that count

Let’s give Morey credit the cat took a lot of heat but the man had a plan and followed through. This is for sure a championship caliber team Philly has. WOW!!

No other fanbase feels the needs to come in here and stir the **** (whether through actual accounts or clear burners) like Philly does.

Scumbag fans, scumbag city.

1. You don’t need four separate posts.

2. A fresh team vs a team on back 2 back always has an advantage. You know the #1 area where tired legs make an impact? Three point shooting.

3. Light years ahead is a huge stretch. Even with a terrible shooting night it took a lot of help from the refs to break this game open.

4. Harden will be 33 this summer and has not opted in. This means he has all the leverage in the world. He will force a 4 year super max and they will be paying him around 60 mil by the time he turns 36. Not exactly a win.

dude it’s not even a close we brought a knife to a gun fight and got totally outclassed. They have Morey for a GM - he will make the necessary moves the next six or seven years of Joel Embiid’s prime.

Please don’t blame the refs that is a weak excuse for a team that totally dominated us. They are in a different universe than we are.

The same Morey who managed to let the Simmons mess get out of hand then trade for Harden before he opted in. Good luck. As for us not being close, you either didn’t watch the game or are trolling.
