    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.

  2. iRockaflame

    Imagine the chaos if the Harden/Embiidless 76ers beat the Nuggets lmao

  4. MattRice15

    The challenge is worthless if that out of bounds can’t be reviewed.

  5. TheGreatSpagett

    What an absolute beautiful disaster of a game. Perfectly fitting for the MVP debate.

  7. Complete_Round1810

    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.

  8. shanmustafa

    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

  9. Padulsky21

    Sixers Death Star lineup of Korkmaz, Springer and Harrell

  10. ImGonnaChubbBradley

    Why tf was Green still in the game

  11. cantletyougetclose

    You could not convince me Doc was actually trying to win this game.

  12. SALTY_BALLZ

    My GOD that was fucking atrocious. Our starters just got their asses kicked for 10 straight minutes and almost lost to the backups.

  14. HoopsHistoryGuy

    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.

  16. abris33

    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

  17. xegget

    Nuggets went so cold towards the end – almost blew it, but ah well that’s the kinda thing you forget in a week

  18. schoolhater12

    Jeff green was -15 that game, he was the worst player in a game with the Sixers bench clearing out

  19. DynamixRo

    Sixers could’ve won if only Mac McClung was able to play.

  22. borb--

    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?”

  23. wefr5927

    That was an absurd no call at the end… why was Jeff Green even in the game

  25. 1antinomy

    Sixers record got worse without Embiid, so therefore this is a win.

  26. landlion35

    Nuggets are great until they stop caring lol

  27. FloppersAndFlippers

    What the FUCK was the fourth quarter

  28. AppleJaxCinnamonMan

    Both teams found a way to leave this game feeling terrible, Neat!

  29. Butterfly_Scape

    jokic had 25 more points than embiid #MyMVP

  30. MildlyInsaneLBJStan

    What dark magic happened in the last 5 minutes of this game for *this* 76ers team to come back against *that* Nuggets team.

  31. manbeqrpig

    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

  32. daydreamnugget

    That game was way more frustrating than it should’ve been lol

  33. _KingFridayXIII

    I’m done watching this team when they get up 15+ with 6 minutes left. It’ll save me so much stress.

  34. ehs4290

    Zhugo almost came back from the dead lol

  35. masonb423

    Typical nuggets b-ball at the end we only win close games no blowouts.

  36. Pikuturtle1

    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.

  37. free_kark

    I’m mourning the awesome game that could have been 😮‍💨

  38. MildlyInsaneLBJStan

    Soo many new narratives were concocted today. I can’t wait to se the insufferable commentary that will be posted from here on out.

  39. LACIRCA2044

    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.

  40. TriCourseMeal

    Embiid wasn’t even on the bench tonight wtf man

  41. Pikuturtle1

    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

  42. Kbaker48

    Nuggets with 13 dunks tonight, making it easy to duck them since they were playing above the rim all night.

  43. KangorKodos

    Another bad win. Only -1 bad wins until 50 bad wins

  44. Thuduke

    Jokic: 25/17/12

    Embiid: 0/0/0

    I know my MVP

  45. aFishintheLake

    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? 🤔

  46. TunedAgent

    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.

  47. -HeisenBird-

    Sixers now only 1.5 games ahead of Cleveland and have a much tougher schedule to finish the season.

  48. Kardia_Spasmeni

    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
