GM 25- Lakers @ Sixers 7:30 pm ET

[76ciology]

Amazing how Embiid dominated, 38 PTS 12 REB 5 AST, +20, highest +/- in the game!

Are those hearts or are those eyes red from crying?

I'm surprised LA didn't just keep guarding the inbounds during overtime. They really let us off the hook by not doing that. We should have lost that game last night. That whole sequence caught us off guard big time.

No the better team won,was it sloppy at the end yes but the lakers shot better in this game
than they ever have and still lost,at one point they were shooting 80% for the game out of there a$$.

I didn't say the better team didn't win. Where did I say that? We are the better team. The odds shifted massively though.
Here, I'll break it down...

The score is 120-119 US with 3.6 seconds to go in the game...
Anthony Davis is at the line with two foul shots. He shoots 83% on the year. Odds are he will make both shots and put the Lakers up by 1 point while leaving only 3 seconds to work with.

WE...Are completely out of timeouts and have the full length of the floor to go. For the last two minutes of the game, we haven't been able to inbound the ball because the Lakers have been full court pressing us aggressively.

When was the last time this team drove the length of the floor in under four seconds and hit a game winning shot at the buzzer against a defense that had been straight up owning us for the last two minutes of the game? Odds are with no timeouts, the game would have ended on a desperation three by one of our players, if they're even able to catch the inbound pass. That shot would have most likely came from the halfcourt area due to how LA was full court pressing us. Sorry...But the score would have ended 121-120 LA LAkers with the win.
The momentum shifted dramatically last night and the Lakers had us by the balls! Anyone that watched the game knew that. It's an absolute miracle that Anthony Davis missed that second foul shot because had he made it (83% shooter), we would have lost the game due to yet another... incredibly... epic meltdown of a collapse. We should have lost that game, IDGAF what anyone says. Yes, we're the better team, no we should not have won.
