No idea why Embiid didn’t get any touches when we couldn’t buy a bucket.
Let’s trade Joel while his trade value is high since he’s MVP
4th quarter was garbage but we put ourselves in a 15-3 hole to start. This team was not prepared to play tonight and had no answer for the Celtics putting Timelord into the lineup. Can’t help but think about Glenn’s long history of blowing playoff series leads.
Embiid didnt get a single touch at the elbow. Teams bread and butter all year.
Doc fumbled the rotations late
Man we can rely on PJ to make 3s when we need a bucket and they keep passing the ball to him
I thought I was too jaded to be this upset over this team again.
Emotional terrorism.
im gonna spend time with my family this sunday. fuck this stupid ass team.
lol I laugh at any poor soul thats gonna sit and watch game 7. Fuckers gave up down 8 with 2 mins left. Game 7 they’ll be in their heads and lose by 40 as soon as the celtics start raining 3s
idc what you say, maxey shooting these contested deep 3’s constantly is just fucking the game.
Holy fuck what an absolutely horrible time to decide to shit the bed. Last five minutes were just bad no other way about it. A completely winnable game and we fucking blew it.
We have no chance on Sunday. None
More of the same.
Can someone make up a Tobias Apology Form and make it from him to us?
We have Joel Embiid.
In the final minutes… why didn’t we use Joel Embiid?
Absolutely livid. We could’ve closed it out today. Fucking Tobias and Harden dropping stinkers
fucking disaster man what the fuck I hope this shit lights a fire under their ass
what’s up with all the Kate Scott posts? it’s getting cringy, the lady is 50 plus years old with pronouns in her bio like an edgy teenager.
Just get the W in Boston, going to be a tall task since Tatum probably won’t have another game like that again.
James Harden thought forcing the ball to PJ tucker in the corner TWICE with 2 minutes left was the play. I’m speechless
First three quarters: 1983 Sixers
4th quarter: Local YMCA team
Not even watching game 7. Already know its another second round exit again.
DOC RIVERS COACHING AND TOBI IS TRASH. UPVOTE BUTTON HERE ⬆️
Silver just fucking drools for that Celtics lakers final.
Don’t even bother having hope, we’re lucky he didn’t just decide the series was over and give it to the Celtics.
One game. All it takes. One good game.
Never seen anything so fucking pathetic in my life
Harris has played 42 fucking minutes and made 1 (ONE) basket, one single fucking basket in 42 minutes as the highest paid player on the team, absolutely pathetic waste of space
The team shot 23.5% from 3, 8/34 in a home game to clinch the series
After the Maxey free throws we were outscored 14-1 in the last 6 fucking minutes before the garbage time basket, 0/9 shooting in that time
How do you only score 13 fucking points in the 4th quarter of a home game to clinch a conference finals spot, 0/8 from 3 compared to 5/9 from them in the 4th, outrebounded 16 to 7 in the quarter
embiid and harden are the greatest duo of chokers ive ever seen, insane.
Throwback to when Seth Curry threw up the 7 fingers in Atlanta after we forced a game 7. We all know how that went.
We couldve had Jimmy…
Stephen A Smith is so proud of himself lol
Just felt like that was the one. I don’t know. They had it, until they didn’t. Three wins in Boston is a lot to ask. They’ll give it a shot on Sunday. I’m sure I’ll be back then. Just feels like I’m 12 years old and putting way too much faith in Andre Iguodala and Thad Young again. And a team with two hall of famers shouldn’t have to feel like that. That’s all I have to say. I’ll see y’all on Sunday, hopefully we can make it happen.
Insufferable game insufferable team
I spent all day today trying to convince myself that I was being paranoid about the refs wanting to (at least) send it to 7. Then the game starts and it was 48 minutes of bullshit. I hope Malloy at least gets a ring out of it if the Celtics win it all.
NBA is the new WWE. It’s too obvious anymore. Tatum can’t hit a barn and then goes 4-4 while our guys trip over themselves. Yeaaaalright.
Get Doc out of here
Joker would not have disappeared in the 4th quarter like that
