    Damn can’t believe they’re already getting into mid-season form.

  4. Three2TheDome1

    These guys skipping work to play sparking zero like the rest of us

  5. This looks like the performance you could expect from their regular season

  6. iiivoted4kodos

    Haka got ‘em more shook than a Finals appearance

  7. Embiid really thought Jokic was from New Zealand? 😉

  8. joethahobo

    Did Paul George get traded? How did I miss that???

  9. Smh Embiid ducking *checks NZ breakers roster* Sam Mennenga

    This is similar to how the 76ers traditionally operate around the halfway mark of the regular season

    “10 people died in the Bronx last night due to a fire that killed 10 people in the Bronx” type title

    Understandable to duck the Legendary New Zealand Breakers

  14. G_Rex_3000

    They found out Raygun is from Australia not NZ and said fuck it, no reason to show up

  15. Embiid dodging Tacko Fall, I’ve seen everything

    Nice! Our first preview of the team in the post season!

    I wonder how they advertised this game in New Zealand. Surely neither George or Embiid were on any of the advertisements and there was zero expectation from people buying tickets that they would see them play. The NBA wouldn’t do that to their fans.
