    This guy hates the Jazz

    Joel with ANOTHER game winner shocker

  3. Alive-Ad-4164

    In other news, chargers choked a 27 point lead to the Jaguars in the wild card round

    Forget Delta, Utah. Meet the Alpha Center.

  5. ScutumSobiescianum

    He obviously got inspired by watching Giddey yesterday with the one legged fadeaway jumper.

  6. Popular-Newt-1603

    Harden has never met a behind the back pass he didn’t like

  7. GrimboeSlice

    He’s such a fucking goober for even taking that shot but that’s the kinda dumb shit that makes me so happy he’s on the Sixers.

  8. jorgelongo2

    thank god, the last couple minutes were a choke job

  9. NedStarx11

    Was he limping at the end?

    So embiid out tomorrow we assuming?

    Embiid never gets mentioned as a bigman that can shoot. He’s capable of scoring from all areas of the court making it nearly impossible to guard him and comitting a foul. To me his playstyle is like a better version of KAT being that he can shoot jumpers, yet Embiid is overall more skilled

  11. Jordan Clarkson put the Jazz on his back but it was all for naught. Joel spared the Sixer faithful another Doc special, at least.

    Wtf is that pass. Good god that was brilliant

    A few things:

    1. Clutch shot, especially considering Joel was missing a bunch of easy (for him) shots in the fourth. He was consistently getting the midrange shots he likes and missing them.

    2. James absolutely kept us in the game in the fourth. Four threes and like 16 straight points. With Joel on the bench and everyone else going cold we needed that. And he started off ice cold from deep.

    3. The behind the back passes from James are not solely for style points. It is a quick pass and it is slightly more difficult to see from the defenders buying a few milliseconds of time before the defenders can react. It also can’t be deflected like a normal bounce pass. And the accuracy with which he does these is incredible. His behind the back passes are more accurate than most players normal passes. He hit Joel right in his shooting pocket.

    4. I didn’t think Joel needed to fade here, but he did and drained it so whatever lol.

    Finally lol. He was so unclutch before that. His last four plays before that were: went 1/2 FTs, missed 18 ft jumper, missed dunk, turnover pass.

    If he missed that one r/nba would feast on him.

  15. Harden has been the best playmaker in the league this year. Nobody really talks about it

  16. Zashiony

    Another Embiid highlight, another /r/nba thread where only Sixers fans comment.

  17. Clawing_Fury

    Embiid’s low post and midrange game is just so good, like it’s actually beautiful

  18. This gotta be ljke the 5th game-winner against the Jazz this season

  19. TSMSALADQUEEN

    I was there the last 2 minutes were way too close

  20. nutsygenius

    lol everyone has been clutch vs the Jazz.
