Thursday 3/10 Game Thread

[GSP]

On the flipside, Brooklyn is a massive problem.

They have several floor spacers.

They have the two best 1-on-1 players in the league, so they can control the pace much easier.

When Simmons comes back, they can run a 5-out offense.

They will have tons of issues defending the perimeter & interior, but it might not even matter.

Their perimeter defense is fine and underrated. Kd, Bruce, Ben are all great defenders and Clax can switch just depends on the lineups they use. Their interior defense and rim protection will always be bad tho

[mademan]

should of gave up thy.

someone has to play defense

hes -16 on the court right now 2 points off FT.. i mean...

It wasnt just Thy. Value wise, it was Maxey>>Curry>>>Thybulle. I know fans love all their young players, but he's just not very good. He's almost as bad offensively as he is good defensively

And Kyrie still living off the bad defensive rep from his Cleveland and even Boston days (tho he wasnt bad in Boston, just below average). He's developed into a solid defender and can get up for big games and be really good, as we're seeing today.

Embiid with more free throws than the entire Nets team. You have to wonder if all the free throws from Embiid and Harden will mess up the other Sixers' rhythm as well lol.

He wont get that many attempts in the play off's.

[OfficialRef]

imagine Harden losing to the nets in the playoffs... LOL

[dribble1614]

impressive performance by the nets but no one is questioning their dominance when fully healthy (which they aren't even right now). we all saw them nearly steamroll their way to the title last year until the injury curse struck both kyrie and harden.

what everyone is saying is that kyrie and simmons are both weirdos who will both refuse to play in games despite being 100% healthy for their weirdo reasons, and something will probably come up come playoffs time that prohibits all 3 of durant / kyrie / simmons to be on the floor together.

going to be a rude awakening when durant is trying to carry the nets by himself in the playoffs due to playing with 2 mental midgets.

[MikeTheKid]

to keep maxey and thybulle

should of gave up thy.

someone has to play defense

Someone finally said it, Thybulle should've went to BKN, he aint 1st Team All-Defense

[slicedbread2]

James Harden bringing that playoff Harden mode tonight. He keeps it up and he'll be known as layoff Harden. 3/15 WTF?

Gotta tip the cap to Brooklyn for really doing their thing in frustrating Harden and executing their game plan to perfection. Seth Curry, Dragic and Mills have done phenomenal with Kyrie and KD killing it. Gonna be scary to think whenever Simmons gets back.

[cupcakesnake]

imagine Harden losing to the nets in the playoffs... LOL

I'd say tonight's first half has absolutely everyone imagining that.

[Ballerhogger]

Thy would have to be tony allen reincarnated save this defense. this is bad. They got rid their one rim protector in AD.

Hell after the first half people will have trouble imaging Harden not getting swept if he faced a full Nets lineup in the playoffs

[Paradise]

Harden is a fool thinking he has a better opportunity winning a ring with Embiid than with both KD and Kyrie.

In his defense I think it was more about him hitting his limit with Kai and the organisation's support of him. Harden played on one leg in the Bucks series. I don't begrudge him leaving.

He played on one leg because he couldn’t stop partying and couldn’t get on the same page with our performance staff. He wanted a free ring with no effort beyond passing. **** that.

[Goomba3666]

Oh my....

[DonaldSanders]

Why did Philly trade Seth Curry again?

Embiid needed someone to blame. Curry shot 50% from 3 last playoffs, can't blame that guy.

[Ballerhogger]

Simmons smiling ahahahha . Comical !

[celticfan42487]

Durant is the best player in the NBA

He could of had a legacy like LeBron or Jordan while leading the Thunder to multiple championships but he robbed himself and all of us from that possibility by being a pathetic cupcake.

That's the real thing his pure cowardice robbed us and history of.

[BeatDaCavs420]

Durant is so good omfggg. I swear I forget how god damn good he is until I see him play a full game and it's just incredible how the game just comes to him. He is just slicing and dicing everyone out there.

[scrabbarista]

That Durant cross and three was... mm-mm-mm!

[jc23]

alot of talk of best player in the league but KD absolutely is the number one guy you want in the 4th quarter of a playoff game.

[Ballerhogger]

Joel MVP chants no where to be found.
