I don’t believe in moral victories, but making those nuggets and their bitchass fans shit their pants with our 3rd string line up was fun
I’ll take it lmao
Nuggets 1st round exit, Sixers 2nd round exit, a win for me
It’s been super frustrating to watch Dedmon take over the “old, washed, but still played for some reason” backup C mantle that DJ had last year.
That said, I honestly think Doc has done a much better job of being flexible than he did last year, so I’m mildly hopeful that Bball Paul absolutely lapping Dedmon this game in every possible way will lead to Doc finally giving up the ghost when it comes to playing a shitty old talll guy at backup C.
I guess we’ll see what happens.
Honestly I had fun this game man as much as could be expected. Reed looked great. I think also their near collapse to our garbage time unit as well as the controversial no call will be noticed by the media and take some shine off of their win
OTTNO. Bench mob earned a fuckton of praise for that effort. Get healthy, Jo and James.
#MORAL VICTORY MONDAY
Ok come on media. Ask the hard questions
Nuggets better hope the Mavs don’t snake that 8 seed
Tobias harris makes max money and was at best the third best player on our team tonight…without harden and embiid.
Sixers need someone to take Niang’s minutes his 3’s aren’t enough to cover for everything else he can’t do
I haven’t watched much of Jaden Springer, but dude looks like he could be a pest on the defensive end. Nice fight by the bench Sixers, shame we cuffed ourselves to Dedmon so early in the buyout market.
It’s also crazy how they’re not able to change the call after seeing Green was OOB before the foul.
Glenn makes me care about shit I didn’t care about because the shit he does is so stupid. Reed is miles above Dedmon right now but he only got 17 minutes of run.
Why. Reed should be next man up if Embiid is out.
We literally were running House at the 5 at one point instead of even having a center.
Glenn makes me hate basketball.
Who wants to post the replay of the out of bounds? I couldn’t watch the game
This game why I don’t care about W/L now that we’ve locked up a playoff berth, we are a fantastic away team when fully healthy.
Getting our bench some meaningful minutes against strong competition is priceless. We want everyone confident in their game when the games actually matter and Rivers needs to figure out how to use this team to the fullest.
They literally give a shout out to minivan on this cure commercial. What the actual f
I ain’t even mad the nuggets are dog shit
The stat padder could only beat the Blue Coats because the refs can’t see the baseline. OTTNO
Im wondering if Doc has videos fucking his coaching staffs wives. Why are they complicit in allowing doc to terrorize this team. absolutely no reason paul shouldn’t have started. Doc wants to keep him in the mid for some weird mud fettish
I’m still pissed that I wasted so much damn money to watch a showdown that never happened..
Never doing that again
Would have won with mcclung smh
Springer is absolutely going to be a player next season
Man, we’re good. No Jojo and James and we still put up a fight against the #1 team in the West.
Paul Reed had 16 points on 100% FG% to go along with 9 boards in just over 16 minutes. Not bad for a guy who I routinely see here described as “fucking terrible.”
Holy shit is Jokic a liability on defense.
The most encouraging takeaway from this game is that Reed looks so legit. He’s actually making most (all?) of his layups, whereas earlier in the season I had to cover my eyes when he got the ball under the rim.
tbh this game might have done more damage to jokic’s case for mvp than it helped, if u watched it
problem is, jokic stans dont watch games. they analyze spreadsheets and refresh RAPTOR stats lmfao
Do you guys hate PJ Tucker yet?
These bums are getting ass whooped by the Lakers lmao. Not moved one bit
Melton and Milton lost us this game.Combined 3 for 19
Anyone that gave up on Embiid’s campaign today is weak asf. Denver gonna flame out in the 1st or 2nd as usual.
This is such a terrible year of sports for me so far. Nadal is still out. Mercedes suck right now in F1. The Sixers aren’t not a part of that. It’s not even about this game by itself but what it represents. We’re not even hitting wide open three’s right now. How did we get so banged up in one week’s time!? The worm has turned for the worst with Glenn, back to making the same old stupid mistakes.
Let’s just get to the playoffs healthy, I guess. Not too optimistic about the last few games. Will probably see a couple more Embiid-Harden DNPs.
How Reed doesn’t have the backup spot locked down, its fucking absurd. Jaden Springer, Korkmaz, Jalen all looked great too. Honestly by the end this game was fun as hell. I was praying for a couple more Trezz Joker matchups, man was feelin it. Hopefully Melton shakes his slump before the playoffs
If embiid wasn’t going to play this was the best outcome for the MVP narrative probably, though I do think he’ll get shit on for a couple days for it.
After a dominant performance like that, the MVP will clearly go to >!Paul Reed!< and there is little we can do about it.
ugh we fucking win if reed got 30+ minutes
that trez three made me imagine a universe where he hit the game winning three lmao
Tonight was BS. Jokic had more free throws than Embiid and Harden combined.
Is Reed up for an extension this off-season? Literally the only conceivable reason for him to come off bench instead of Dedmon is he’ll look too good and will be too rich for Morey’s taste so they are purposing tanking his value so they can resign him at a discount.
Just got banned on r/nba for doing nothing lol
Will people still get castrated for suggesting that a guy that consistently puts up 0/0/0/0/0 statlines as a starter is in no way deserving of those minutes, even if he has the hypothetical ability to occasionally pester an opposing starter or grab a couple clutch boards?
We win this game with Embiid 100%
Good pj game
What happened to shake Milton? Guy has been pretty awful
u/dmorey Daryl pls, we’re not asking for much but please stop signing these over the hill, clearly bad, clearly nothing left in the tank big men for Doc to play. There’s just no scenario where it ends productively for us
Ha look at the +/- of the starters vs the 3rd string
JOKER YOU STILL CANT MAKE IT THROUGH A BURGER KING DRIVE THRU 😭😭😭
Joker MVP 😮💨
Embiid should rest against Suns or and play against Jokic. I think he just lost his chance at mvp.
