Notes.
Wow. What a second half.
Zeke coming back is going to be very big.
This looked like the playoff bench.
Bucks are coming out of the east. They have a lot of weapons
Nuggets looked scared in the first quarter. Didn’t want to go into the paint.
Bucks looked frustrated in the second half getting technicals getting chippy they don’t like being beaten like
Jokic looks like he can get Brook Lopez in foul trouble in the playoffs.
Jamal Murray was amazing and totally kept the nuggets in the game in the first half.
Janice was scary in that first quarter
We did good
Will there be 5 posts on the front page of r/nba showing Jokić highlights tonight? I’m assuming not since most fans just wanna hate
I love a good 76ers piss job
Not one sane person is fooled by Embiid’s statpadding. Bro is gonna get himself injured before his Super Bowl on Monday. Unless he’s looking for an excuse to duck that match up?
The vibes were immaculate
This game was fucking art.
Well that couldn’t have gone any better. Murray Flurry in the 1st. Ref pisstake of Lopez gbh. Moach taking one for the team. Bench playing pretty well. Joker starting to cook. But that 2nd half was a thing of beauty. Bucks couldn’t live with the fast pace and effort. Only 40 points given up. And the cherry on the cake was the Peyton cameo.
Big win, moral wise, mvp wise and seed wise (if they lost, Memphis would have gotten a bit too close for comfort)
♥️🇨🇦⛹🏿♂️
I’ll say this, Lopez next to Joker would be deadly. Like freaking A.
They had 4 offensive rebounds. If we’ve finally rediscovered how to rebound correctly then we winning it all.
lmao Embiid getting carried by Maxey with 37 points. Still lost.
Giannis was killing us early. You can’t go man for man on him. But he becomes pretty ordinary by his standards when you send 2.
Yo the 6-yr old next to me just had his little mind blown. Met Rocky and got the high-5, saw Rocky hit the half court shot, caught one of the yellow balls, watched his team put on a clinic. Greatest night ever.
Literally crying right now best game I’ve ever been to. Championship team right there.
The MVP narrative is once again pushing back towards the middle instead of to Embiid. Feels like Monday could be huge (if you care about such things).
Just got home from the Game and that was a lot of fun. Hearing that Embid shit the bed vs. The Suns makes me worry that he will bring his A-Game vs. Denver than again the guy hardly plays in Denver
Best win of the year. Everyone showed up, especially the bench. Best team in franchise history ez
A month ago, I was getting so much shit for defending Jeff Green. Some of yall wanted him cut/out of the rotation smh
For Monday night, would you rather the Nuggets win but Embiid outplays Jokic, or the Sixers win but Jokic outplays Embiid?
HUGE win
Proud to announce Godzilla (fat Jokic) defeated King Kong (Giannis)
3-0 since Zeke has been back
As a Celtics fan I would just like to thank you for beating the bucks. Appreciate it.
Absolute statement game, I want to give the team credit for staying in it in the first half when the Bucks lead was ballooning to 10 at times and looked like the game was slipping away. Once we figured it at the start of the second half it was night night. Shows why we need to play for that overall record and get homecourt in the finals (fingers crossed we get there). If Harden is out for the game Monday I’m expecting a VERY motivated Nuggets team to go put them in their place
Bucks fans are pathetic wimps. Still crying about us in their post game thread.
Saw Jeff Green’s Dunk over Giannis got #1 in their top 10 Tonight.
The better team won.
Shocker
Is Trae for Luka the biggest baby for baby trade of all time?
Two elite whiners
LFG!!!!!!
WE BROKE THEIR SOULSSSSS!!! ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Missed the game and woke up, happy to see this!!!!
That 50th win looks nice on the standings
No big surprise but Dunkle Jeff is the #1 on [NBA top 10 tonight](https://youtu.be/8yjl61TwhOg). I think I’ll rewatch that dunk about 100 more times.
Had to sleep, where can I watch the replay?
NBA might have the most casuals of any fan base of the major sports in America. It makes for a large amount of brain dead, and clearly misinformed, takes. It’s super easy to tell when people just flat out don’t watch the games.
I usually check out opposing teams sub Reddit after the games…
Holy shit, bucks fans have got to be the biggest sore losers of the season. I can’t even get through 20 comments. It’s incredible.
I wonder if they are always like this. Never woulda guessed they would be the worst. The whining and complaining is non stop
First
