great play to get jj that 3.

is that what 76ers really wanted at the end of the game? fadeway shot by okafor?

My thoughts exactly, isolate your C at the 3PT line? Really?

Well we're going to OT. 6ers really didn't get off a good shot. Now it's time for us to take over this game.

Okafor was playing the "hope he misses" defense on that play btw

Looks like we got away with a DJ offensive interference non-call for that bucket.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

It would be nice to get a bucket here with 90 seconds left

[Dynamix]

Ugliest win of the season?

[LACtdom]

So frustrating! All we need is an easy 2 but instead we keep throwing up the 3.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Relieved that we won 96-92 in OT

I really hated this game. Clippers just gave the Sixers the first 3 quarters and the illusion they were going to win the game. But then they reneged.

Clips never had the lead for nearly the whole regulation. All they need was overtime to make it serious. They can't do that against the Warriors, Spurs and Thunder; they'll eat through their facades like how a frog snatches flies with its tongue...

Except the Spurs...

Silver lining: Chris Paul passed the ball to J.J. Redick to make the game-tying shot. Had Paul taken the 3-point shot himself, it would have most likely missed, and the Sixers would have won. Paul must become a role player in order for his team - not just the bench - to excel in the playoffs.

That's a very captain obvious comment there. Most likely if CP had taken the shot it would have to be a contested or off the dribble 3PT shot, he would have a much higher chance of missing than Redick taking a wide open 3PT shot.

Redick is a 48% 3PT shooter and 49% on catch and shoot.

This is an obvious thing and has nothing to do with Chris Paul having to become a role player for the team to excel in the playoffs. He just did the majority of the playmaking in the game and took 18 FGA and 10 FTA, role players don't do that...

Paul should definitely become a role player, I think Crawford and Rivers should get the ball ALOT more come playoff time
