Today is Embiid and the 76ers night. Congrats 76er fans. Great series and amazing team you guys got.

Without the refs in round 2 the 6ers are going to get crushed

That's noth'n. The year before, the 76ers passed on Giannis... TWICE. Once for Michael Carter- Williams.

Zero points in 4th quarter and OT


Siakam got STONED every time Embiid was on him. Pascal wanted NO PART of that smoke.

People b!tching about how more fouls should have been called on the Sixers in Games 1 and 2, but Siakam puts ZERO pressure on the rim - especially when Embiid is guarding him. Why the f should Siakam get a whistle?


Almost no one is talking about the refs but you now.
NBA rule book Section IV—The Coach...
The coach’s position may be on or off the bench from the substitution box line (closest to the coach’s bench)...A coach is not permitted to cross the midcourt line and violators will be assessed an unsportsmanlike technical foul immediately

Fake Embiid 3 shot!

It really is a serious point - no smack.

Do you know how many FT's Siakam shot tonight - in FORTY EIGHT MINUTES?

Zero.

And that wasn't bad reffing. That was Siakam putting ZERO pressure on the rim. You can't say, "yeah - even if the calls on Embiid are legit, make the calls on the other end"...but then you have Siakam puttting zero pressure on the rim...doing all that dipsy-do dribbling around the foul line. If you want to get to the line, put pressure on the rim.

Right?

Did anyone else notice Tyrese Maxey chirping and laughing at Fred Vanvleet each time he scored on him? I never noticed Maxey gettin' spicy like that during the season.

Even Tobias has done a great job guarding Siakam.

I just don't see him as a good scorer on the halfocurt and he seems to have troubles against length

Meh she’s no Zu but she’s fine. Her vocal fry yell is pretty rough but you stop noticing it after a while and she just becomes any old hyped up homer-y announcer.

Oh I know. it drives me nuts. Its why that other guys post about our fanbase over rating him was so comical. Half of us say this all of the time. One game he is aggressive and plays great and the next you wouldn't even know he was on the court if you just looked at the stats. Its insane.

In this case though I think it was mostly because of the Sixers, they did an amazing job shutting him down. He didn't know what to do half of the time.

Maxey and Scottie are boys. He knows about Fred's pecking order. He's just sticking up for his homeboy Scottie.

Tobias Harris was playing some incredible lockdown defense man. If he can turn into a defensive stud and still give you 15 to 17 a night he becomes an incredibly great weapon

No she's not. She's beyond horrible. I've never been overly critical of announcers, but she is plain annoying.

She’s fine, if you enjoy watching Japanese porn. Same sound.
