Time to start winning again.

I don't want to see us lose to the Knicks or Magic. We need to keep it going.

Not only did we expose this team and make Harden quit again, we also made their fans quit. This curb-stomping certainly threw a wrench into their plans of gloating in here after the game. :lol:

That said, this is just one game where the drama had everyone bringing their intensity & A-game. Need to win a few more before I'm convinced we're finally ready for the Playoffs... or play-in.

KD really said it sounded like there were more Nets fans.

LOL

There's nothing like seeing Kyrie and KD locked in. Just so cold blooded. Im 100% certain the Nets wanted Brown on Harden and Kyrie DEMANDED to guard him. Locked him up too.

Curry, Dragic and Patty are just ballers.

Sneaky good game from Nash. I almost shed a tear when he went to KD at 5 because DJ was on the floor. Some people think you should stay home on shooters and let Embiid go 1v1. I LOVED how we were sending defenders at him left and right. Mattyse is a terrible shooter. Harden doesn't like spot up 3s. Outside of Maxey, those other guys are nothing if you run them off the line. Rotate properly and play hard and live with the results.

I wish I could trash Harden more but his game did all the talking. All the BS we've seen all year. Lazy passes, not getting back on defense, looking for BS fouls, quitting as soon as we went on a run. No surprises. Let's see who he blames in the post game.

The only silver lining is that his play is not predicated on thing that needs tons of reps to get into rhythm. Elite passers never lose their vision.

Turnovers will be an issue once he debuts. It’s going to be extremely difficult to replicate a high level of play.

Did we really blow them out? Lol

Wtf.. I did watch semi ish... but it was great, Philly never got into a rythm

Harden was in peak playoff form.. LOOOL. Simmons needs to hurry up though cause he needs his reps with the team because the playoffs/play in is right around the corner.

Wtf just happened at the Sixers' board?? Did they just lock & hide their game thread?? :lol:

I actually don't think Doc Rivers is a better coach than Nash...at all. I'd 100% prefer Nash.

Doc Rivers is a proven failure who's choked in the playoffs over and over again. He's what y'all think Nash is.

Fire Nash! I wanted to win by 30.

That’s expected but it doesn’t take anywhere near as long to get back up to speed passing wise as it does for shooting.

BTW it's hilarious watching DJ try to defend and throw back door passes.

Late in the party, but man that was utter domination over the Sickxers...

We just Ethered the 76ers. RIP. Curb stomping of the highest order. You could not possibly write a worse script for an outcome for philly then what we just witnessed. My thoughts....

1) Philly fans talking smack before the game that they were going to boo Ben so hard he would be scared to come back in the playoffs... by halftime they were boo'ing Harden and fans were throwing his jersey on to the court after the game. Nothing like coming to boo and hate on simmons only to realize you brought in a guy who is known to disappear/choke in big games and he proved it the very first playoff-type game he played in, and embarrassed himself while simmons looked on with an ear to ear smile. Hopefully it gets better for philly for Harden sake, or they will crucify him in that town.

2) Can we talk about Kyrie Irving completely locking up James Harden? Bodied him up, stripped him, kepy him out of the paint, didn't get baited into fouls. stripped him. Picked him up and hounded him at half court. General board continues to call Kyrie an awful defender. When he is locked in he is a plus defender (not having him on middleton is an underwritten narrative for why we lost to the bucks). This team has legit defensive potential with Kyrie locked in, Simmons, KD, and Claxton.

3) All i ever hear is "nets have no one to guard Embiid". I'm not sure how many times i have to say it or where I have to scream it from but... you dont need someone to defend Embiid. Year after year after year he drops huge numbers but his team comes up short in big games. He cant be that guy on both ends, wheres down, and he goes stretches where he freezes out teammates. And he takes the ball out of Harden hands, and Harden isn't close to the same guy off ball... and... umm... how about who on Philly can guard Kyrie or KD? A: no one.

4) A locked in KD/Kyrie is a scary thing. I said back on page 1 earlier today that the one advantage we have is that for Kyrie/KD this is no sweat. its not a big game. these guys were in finals games. Kyrie was down 3-1 to a 73 win team. playing philly in a "big" regular season game for him is like playing YMCA pickup. Lebron went toe to toe with prime Lebron in multiple finals. he aint worried about Embiid. It was clear from tipoff the moment was big Harden/Embiid and they were rattled... and Kyrie/KD were laser focused. This is why you dont tank... it creates a LOSER mentality. when it gets hard, you quit. Second half Embiid tossed in the towel. Harden quit on 2 teams when it got tough, he aint a guy who perseveres.

5) Too many story lines for him to get his due but SETH CURRY was phenomenal this game. You could tell it meant something to show up in this game... he always has a chip playing in stephs shadow... but tonight he wanted to stuff it moreys and docs face. He hit a ton of big shots after philly hit a 3 and to extend leads and defensively he was big. high iq on that end and was always in position. Curry a low-key steal in that trade... not just what we get but it hurt phillys spacing big time.

6) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the coaches and players for not closing out on Harden's step back three. let him shoot it. he will hit a few but you cant give him free throws on that. it was incredibly important and it kept James from getting into a grove or bailing out his poor play. While we are on Harden, it is nice to be on the other end of a Harden miss where he complains about the foul for 10 seconds while the opponent plays 5 on 4 for an easy bucket.

7) I knows Embiid got numbers, but Drummond/Claxon did a great job on him. Made him exert alot of physical energy for everything he got. it gasses joel a bit to have to try and bully drummond. Claxton played stronger then his size. LMA has been a great Net, but hard to keep claxton out of the rotation right now.

8) People have called for trading Kyrie, calling out KD for not forcing Kyrie out of town, etc... but games like this, vs good teams, is why KD is ride or die with Kyrie. He want to war with him in the finals and knows Kyrie's DNA. you get someone like Beal and you might get the 28-30 points Kyrie gives you... but you dont get a killer, you dont get a difference maker. you dont get a guy who is unphased by huge moments. You trade Kyrie and you just flat out will never get anything close to him in return. Kyrie has his availability issues, but their are few guys who are ceiling raises the way he is. Being healthy and rested going into the playoffs is huge.

9) Bruce Brown is playing possessed since the trade. props to him. he was out of the rotation for a good stretch, great attitude and has been making a big difference. Brings a bunch of energy. He works hard and deserves this.

10) The win is great but the Memes are the real hero tonight. crying jordan harden, the undertaker ben simmons. it is the gift that keeps on giving.

If we can get good news on Kyrie where he plays vs the knicks all of a sudden we can all step back from the ledge.
