Embiid is doing too much out there for sure. Beginning to hate this dude

It's not a shooting foul. Only 76ers fans would think so, default is just automatically defend anything Embiid does without even thinking.

no Jokic, MPJ, Murray or KCP tonight

-10 is generous, Nuggets gonna be down 20 after 1 quarter

edit: NBA needs to address this

every contender is sitting out entire lineups from time to time
disgraceful for folks who bought tickets

total bs

it's the "correct" move
giving players rest when seeding isn't all that important anyway (not as much as having key players healthy and well-rested come playoff time) and if ur gonna sit out the entire squad, might as well do it on games like this game @ Bucks where the team was likely to lose even at full strength. so it makes perfect sense and is the "correct" move..until the league steps in and punishes the team for doing it. the cost of that should be high enough to make this move "incorrect"

shameful stuff that's been going on (more and more) for a few seasons now

What’s dumb is scheduling a back to back on the road 1100 miles apart. Just dumb completely

Simmons just gives harden a wide open look. Dumbass

It's really crazy how much Embiid flops... If you look at the Top center in the league in Jokic or arguably the 3rd best in Sabonis they never flop in comparison to Baby Biid...

Superstar getting superstar calls. Wow, never seen that before.

Unless you are this guy who gets less superstar calls than others. Mainly because he doesn’t chase them by flopping

13-2 in Free throw attempts

Meanwhile Jokic ducking his matchup against MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo...

Simmons being overaggressive on defense so he doesn't have to play as much.

Lol 13 FTs and it's only half way through the 1st, insane whistle

He has hamstring issues. So they are obviously not going to push him on a back to back with less 22hrs between them. Jokic is the last person to accuse of ducking. Lol. If anything he plays through a lot of pain issues. But hamstrings you have to be cautious for sure.

That’s not a foul on Embiid

RB34 · Post #55 » by **RB34** » Thu Jan 26, 2023 1:08 am

Philly fans chanting refs suck when they’ve got Harden and Embiid.. bruh

Kyrie trying to outflop Embiid now. At this rate, gonna have 100 FTA.

Insane of you to think that was a flop by Kyrie.

Claxton has become one hell of a post defender
