Trash! 34 days left for the fraud to upgrade this roster or decline his contract extension and resign in shame.

Yeah I can't get too high or low on this team until after the deadline. I look at these games as an evaluation period. I highly doubt our team will look the same after Febuary

Tho games like this show why maybe we should consider Pascal or Lavine if the price is right. Tobias just ain't it as the 3rd guy

I'm on my Larry Brown steeze rn

this is great for them....getting mollywhopped on National TV means they aren't as good as the record says and hopefully the players, the coaching staff and most importantly the FO realizes that and does better.

fact is that we have played the Wizards and Pistons 80 times and thats a large part of our win total...that also came off the backs of Biid hitting all of his mid rangers and Maxey hitting Steph 3s...not always going to be there

plus I refuse to get up in arms about this franchise until the playoffs and even then...i just don't see it atm nor do I think there is a magic trade to make either.

TLDR : We aint **** until we are and until then who gives a **** lol.

Its hatin season yall

Just sucks to see this ****. Also gives all the haters more fuel on the GB, and social media. I'm tired of defending Embiid so much only for him to fail either because of his body, emoness, or the other myriad issues he's faced through the years.

I'm tired, I'm 40, and I just get way to involved in a game that literally does not make any difference in my life. I have other priorities, which I focus on. This is a nice release, and the internet is a toxic place. It's draining though. Best thing I've done is focus on my body, and exercise over the last 2 years. Just came off a 3 week holiday, and was looking forward to this game. Ah well.

I just dealt with the Indian cricket team losing the world cup final, after going unbeaten in the 10 games before that. Absolutely crushing for 1.5 billion people.

Think I just need to know that you can't get to high or low with sports.

Sports really can do a number on you haha...

Agreed relies on it too much, and then forgets there are other parts of his game he can go to when it's off. Stop moping and use that damn 280lb 7'2 frame and yam on some people.

The Knicks did what they were supposed to do. They pushed the pace especially with gimpy Embiid hobbling around.

I know that feel bro lol.

I legit had a mental breakdown after game 6 last playoffs lol.

I need Biid to win it all like it justifies me life choices lol.

This year I decided to just let wehatever happen and not ever get too high...I don't think this team has it to win it all without some serious luck

but yeah I get it.

Exactly. The obvious weaknesses will get exploited some games.

Overreliance on the middy is what kills Biid every playoffs...especially when he's tired.

It kills DeRozan too and even KD.
its a tough shot to live off of

which is why I liked the offense earlier in the year when he was getting to the rim..but he's settled back into the tough long twos

I blame Hanlen lol....Tatum also forgets he's huge in the playoffs too.

Nic is about to hurt himself again trying to guard Brunson. I don't get him as a POA defender maybe there's something I don't know.

I think Nurse told him to start driving at halftime. He’s finally doing it.

Return to Philadelphia 76ers
