Lol ya'll are right, this team is ass.

Embiid goes into his mopey self when he's hurt, and this is obviously debilitating him. He's not psychotic like Kobe.

Harden is pathetic, great passer, but unless you get him on a discount he's not worth it anymore.

Maxey is young and has been figured out a bit.

Tobias regressed to the mean, and the bench has always been ass.

Raps figured us out, and we're going back to a tight series.

If any team can blow a 3-0 lead it's this sixers team and Doc.

Silver lining is we probably fire Doc, and Harden is either not resigned or we get him on a huge discount.

It is what it is, Raps fans deserve to gloat, atleast their team tries. We're a bunch of front runners.

I'll be supporting any of the Suns/Warriors/Grizz.

From the East the Bucks are a good follow, the Heat and dare I say the Celtics. It'll be nice not to have to go through the torture of watching this team.


relax Sixers are still likely winning the series, odds still on their side.....good luck against a team like the Celtics though

Yup, despite his injury not a good look. He could have contributed in many different ways and didn't.


Something is just so off. Chronic pain does crazy things, so maybe he's on some pain killers as well?


Could very well be, but he mopes a lot (See the year we got Al Horford, he was terrible that year).

Ehh, at this point, I'd rather they lose so we can fire Doc, and either get Harden on a discount or not resign him. This team as currently constructed and with a hobbled Embiid is not winning ****.

Since the beginning of February he’s had these shooting performances:

Playoffs:

I’m generally not as anti-Harden as most are but man it’s shocking

Not really, when you think about it.

If you miss a shot when you’re fouled, it’s not counted as a FGA. So in years past he could throw up whatever junk he wanted cause 9 times out of 10 he’d be going to the line.

Now? Even after scaling back the initial foul call changes from the start of the season he’s not getting those same calls. So now all the crap shots he’s toss up are appearing on the board.


It’s the whole package too. He has zero ability to blow by defenders anymore and can’t seem to generate any offense. It’s a drastic shift in how I view him from where he was a few years back

I wonder if Jokic could prop up Harden? I haven't seen someone fallen off a cliff this fast since Tounces the driving cat.

You guys are 1 buzzer beater away from being up 3-2. Not even close to what the nets did

funny thing is the refs were calling this evenly...
it shows how weak Sixers are when the whistle is called fairly (actually still in Sixers favor)
against a young team with a struggling half-court offense

against other stronger teams like Bucks, Heat, Boston, and out there in the west (warriors), refs may actually be less favorable in their whistle...

Sharing the blame around Philly by looking at the "leadership" of Embiid, Rivers and Morey has been a pastime of many this year.


Fair enough. I was being cocky for fun. Really there is probably is no black and white answer, it’s always a shade of grey. If Simmons played better it would’ve made up for poor leadership. Better leadership would have made up for his bad play.



Yeah, Philly has some weird thing about disrespecting their best players ... Barkley, Iversen, Butler, Simmons ... and maybe now Embiid ... I mean probably the guy shouldn't be playing. He's a whiny bitch ... but he's also an absolute beast usually ... the thought I'm going really screw my thumb up if I put in danger has to impact your decision making.

Constant Raps smooth switching was a thing of beauty. Not that this is my team but really I don’t remember anyone anytime played like this. If we only can shoot 3s on our season average it would be blowout every single game.

If they lose at this point I think its all good but for them to show they actually have some fight in them its going to be huge for building up the young guys like Scottie.
