R1G3 - 76ers at Nets - Apr 20 7:30pm ET TNT

[76ciology]

Nobody talked about it. But why did Biid suddenly knelt like his right leg got weak when Nets threw that lob? Did he slip or got out of balance?

I saw it too. Physically he looked off all night long. I don't know if it's a case of him manipulating the game plan of the other team or what, but he does it all the time so you never truly know what the deal is.

There was one possession too when Harden drove and drop it to Biid, then Biid’s legs looked weak and couldnt get balance that he was called for a travelling. But it wasnt too obvious compared to that lob incident.

Maybe its just me. But sometimes you can see in Biid’s face if he’s going through one of his “spiritually absent” games. What’s scary here is this occurs quite often and thats why we need a lot of “more than just 3&D” guys to surround him with for these kind of games.

But yeah, in the end, he pulled through so maybe it’s nothing.

Another one to check.

4th quarter 8:25-8:15

Kevin Harlan was superb this game.

Kevin Harlan was superb this game.

Give me Spero Dedes and Grant Hill every game, please. They call the game straight, Dedes is rock solid and knows when to get excited but without carrying on, and Hill offers unbiased analysis that actually adds to the broadcast.

Harlan sounds like a game show host who loves the sound of his own voice, with constant histrionics, and Reggie Miller has become a clown with his hot takes. I'm so tired of shouters and self promoters, and this pair defines that.

Reggie Miller only recently started to annoy me, but people have complained about him for years. It was the overly dramatic proclamations in the last game that really started to irritate me. "OH BOY, YOU DON'T WANT JOEL EMBIID HOLDING HIS KNEE!" As if he's hoping that Embiid is hurt. Miller just likes to pour gas on a fire and is a certified blowhard.

I like Kevin Harlan, but Hubie Brown is still my all time favorite announcer. It's so cool that at damn near 90, he's still at it.

It's beyond rare now, but I like broadcasters that let the event be the star and just call and describe the action without histrionics and drawing attention to themselves. And for crying out loud, we don't need to hear blather every damn second. Dedes and Hill are a rare example of how it should be done.

Harlan has read the gushing praise he gets (which is a mystery to me) and much like Verne Lundquist seeks to make every moment one that makes the ESPN highlight reel.

Harlan is dramatic for sure, but he doesn't work my nerves the way Miller does. Ryan Ruocco is another one that I simply cannot stand. Ruocco's voice just cuts through my brain like a scalding knife through melting butter. I guess I"m just showing my age these days complaining about these guys.
Hubie Brown is my all time favorite. Doug Collins, Mike Fratello back when they did were great. I like Hill and Dedes for the most part. Like you said, they let the game be the star. JJ Reddick isn't a bad one either. I like him, I like Richard Jefferson quite a bit. Mike Breen screaming "BANG" gets a little excessive, but he's pretty good. In a perfect world my guy Tom McGinnis would just team up with Hubie Brown (who's from PA) and just announce only Sixer games.

Hey, we have to listen to them for a couple of hours, so I have no problem with criticizing or praising them.

I'm not with you on Hubie, other than respecting the fact that he's 140 yrs. old and still doing this with energy. I get a kick out of him, but he tends to grate after a while. Never liked Fratello, and Collins was fine until he started sniffing himself after a while.

Breen is a superior play by play guy going back to his years with the Knicks, but he's another who has gotten a bit big for his britches. And with him we have to put up with Van Gundy's wackiness and sometimes the dreadful Mark Jackson. Breen with a guy like Grant Hill would be fantastic.

Agree on JJ and Jefferson, both do a solid job and just focus on the game, offering their expertise. Another play by play man who's very good is Ian Eagle - together with Jim Spanarkel they do a great job.

Man, all I want is a play by play guy who calls it straight without histrionics and a color guy to offer things from his experience in the league that we might not already know. That formula is pretty much obsolete these days.

This place has the most dumbest so called sixers fans ever. You are sick in the head when the team wins and your mad about it because you wanna bash somebody? Doc out coached? Embid being roughed up? Lol win? Did you mfers see that game winning block? Lol embid is not hurt nor is he faking injury, you people are the worst around here. Mods keep hating because I tell it like it is! 90% of sixers Dan here are dumb.

So why post here random dude? The only thing that sucks about this place is there is no -1 for posts

I don’t post here, smh too much stupidity. The shoe must fit you though

If you tried you'd have would have been banned long ago anyways.

People here tend not to have much patience for individuals with low emotional intelligence who struggle to hold conversations and disagree without resorting to personal attacks as most of the posters here are grown adults. If you want to discuss the Sixers and have something worthwhile to say then all means stay and say it but if your only goal is to come here and insult the board and other posters I feel confident in speaking for everyone else here take a hike.

Harden missed some absolute bunnies around the hoop but the good sign was he was easily getter by DFS and Bridges off the dribble.

[LeonJordanJr24]

As a primary ballhander he lacks elevation. He's still quick for a wing and strong as a 4.

If that's true, then judging from your posts here your goal is clearly to increase the level of stupidity.
