Every single Nuggets fan knew it was going to turn into a nail biter when we were up 20. This is just what we do.
Imagine the chaos if the Harden/Embiidless 76ers beat the Nuggets lmao
Whew
The challenge is worthless if that out of bounds can’t be reviewed.
What an absolute beautiful disaster of a game. Perfectly fitting for the MVP debate.
Lmao wtf was that ending
That out of bounds should be reviewable with the coach’s challenge. The NBA really needs to clean up a lot of the replay rules and the coach’s challenge because that was just some foolishness.
michael malone needs to stop this foolishness of just having jamal out there with none of the other 4 starters
no shit your bench lineups suck ass when you got like bruce, braun, jeff and naji out there together as the 2-5
jeff green playing more than like 16 minutes is insane
does jokic not face up and just dot you over and over again anymore
Sixers Death Star lineup of Korkmaz, Springer and Harrell
Why tf was Green still in the game
You could not convince me Doc was actually trying to win this game.
My GOD that was fucking atrocious. Our starters just got their asses kicked for 10 straight minutes and almost lost to the backups.
*unclench*
Well good to know whether someone has their entire foot out of bounds or just the tiniest edge of their shoe it can’t be applied to a challenge.
Kardiac Nugs
Sixers should just roll with that 3rd string lineup. Their other guys gave up and we were coasting until we were within range to sit the starters but that end of the bench lineup made it interesting
Nuggets went so cold towards the end – almost blew it, but ah well that’s the kinda thing you forget in a week
Jeff green was -15 that game, he was the worst player in a game with the Sixers bench clearing out
Sixers could’ve won if only Mac McClung was able to play.
Challenges are useless
NOT TODAY
Brilliant chess move by the Nuggets to make the game close at the end so now Embiid fans can’t say “see how bad we are when he doesn’t play?”
That was an absurd no call at the end… why was Jeff Green even in the game
[doc rivers when he’s given a roster of nothing but role players](https://imgur.com/a/apjpoyW)
Sixers record got worse without Embiid, so therefore this is a win.
Nuggets are great until they stop caring lol
What the FUCK was the fourth quarter
Both teams found a way to leave this game feeling terrible, Neat!
jokic had 25 more points than embiid #MyMVP
What dark magic happened in the last 5 minutes of this game for *this* 76ers team to come back against *that* Nuggets team.
Virgin Joel Embiid: 0/0/0 on 0% shooting with 0 blocks
Chad Nikola Jokic: 25/17/12 on 79% shooting plus 2 blocks
MV3
That game was way more frustrating than it should’ve been lol
I’m done watching this team when they get up 15+ with 6 minutes left. It’ll save me so much stress.
Zhugo almost came back from the dead lol
Typical nuggets b-ball at the end we only win close games no blowouts.
fr tho I really wish both teams were at full strength. We’ve missed Embiid v Jokic so many times ;( I almost bought a ticket to this game but glad I didn’t haha.
I’m mourning the awesome game that could have been 😮💨
Soo many new narratives were concocted today. I can’t wait to se the insufferable commentary that will be posted from here on out.
76ers with a 1.5 game lead over Cleveland. Cleveland’s last 4 games are Pacers, Magic, Magic, Hornets. Sixers last 4 are Celtics, Heat, Hawks, Nets.
Embiid wasn’t even on the bench tonight wtf man
Oh god the toxicity I can’t…. Hey Sixers fans you are so cool and awesome. Embiid is so dominant and an incredible defender. Maxey is so fun to watch and excited to see him grow even more because he can be something special. Hopefully this starts a peace treaty
Nuggets with 13 dunks tonight, making it easy to duck them since they were playing above the rim all night.
Another bad win. Only -1 bad wins until 50 bad wins
Jokic: 25/17/12
Embiid: 0/0/0
I know my MVP
Embiid played against an inconsequential game against the 6th seed gsw in order to prove something to Draymond but sits out a game against Nuggets and Jokic? 🤔
This is why we wanted Embiid to play. The Nugs don’t take their foot off the gas if he was playing. GG Sixers. Maybe we’ll see you later.
Sixers now only 1.5 games ahead of Cleveland and have a much tougher schedule to finish the season.
Sixers fans failing to understand that there is a thing such as letting the foot off the gas is a true testament to them. It’s not ideal but it happens all the time. Them celebrating a “near blown lead” reeks of desperation
