problem with 76ers they dont have any shooters mostly inside scorers. they will struggle postseason game of 7.
Doncic will be goat. Lauri will be his sidekick.

The way Embiid throws his arms around for calls is embarrassing. It works but yuck..

If Simmons fits in, no one is beating the nets. They should’ve won the chip last year if they were healthy

Seemed like Embiid blindly, wildy threw his back into a planted KD on a spin.... seventeen feet from the basket...

and now he's at the free throw line?

Wait... were they not even in the bonus?

Was that "shooting?!?"

This will be just another home game for Phili, but obviously they would want to win if anything to prove the trade was in their favor.

I got this one for Phil, as their defense is the key (top 10): 123-117.


If PHI wins, they move up and BKN moves down, increasing the likelihood they'd face BKN in the 1st round, which they presumably don't want - not when they could play CHI or CLE in Round 1 instead.

So, PHI appears incentivized to lose. Whether they think that way, especially with so much time left in the season... we'll see tonight. But I think they won't be too upset as an organization if they lose this one.
Philly gonna show n prove. They want this w imo. They can take an L from another team if they wanna move down but not this game.

When you switch on the game because it's been hyped, and you remember half of the game is going to be spent at the FT line.

NBA was great at the start of the season when they weren't letting players foul bait like this....too bad that didn't last long

This dude has been getting away with it for years.

This is where the rivalry began.

Apparently you're forgetting the history of the game. Splash Brothers + KD is way better than those three.

Doc walks like he's 80.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I see Simmons chickened out.

I'm so annoyed they went away from how they were reffing game at the start of the year. Everyone absolutely LOVED the game except for the whiney stars...

Dead silence from Miller after Harden overtakes him on the 3 pointers made all time list.

KD and Kyrie play legit team basketball and they're individually great. You can see how they're trying to put players in their most comfortable spots on court. Not just drive and kick AAU ball.

Really visually appealing
