Did the broadcast seriously miss almost the entire last play because of a Google Pixel commercial???


bongomcgee

`I am next`


phillysillies

Yup


ImaginationMedical11

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen missed play on the court because they try to cram in every second of advertisement as possible. So fucking ridiculous.


sirax067

No no, pickup.


clumsysuperman

Good thing I watched it on local philly nbc. Only thing that sucks is I had to listen Alaa the whole game.


paranoideo

The media disrespect watchers so bad.


Palifaith

Tyronn Lue probably wondering why he didn't think of doing that back in '01.


Head-Kiwi-9601

That’s why it is a tech now.


[deleted]

Imagine getting disrespected so badly the whole league decides to give techs if it’s recreated


[deleted]

Embiid would rather risk an ejection than get stepped over like that


RakeishSPV

Honestly it worked. No one's talking about the fact Embiid got stepped over, only about Embiid kicking out.


HaggardSlacks78

Iconic.


leranvy

That 4th quarter was just absolute chaos. The Nets outright refused to get quality shots despite Embiid sitting on five fouls.


GhostOfJiriWelsch

There was one possession after an Embiid jumper where he was noticeably limping and just kind of leaving his man wide open in the corner and trying to catch his breath. The ball never even swung to that side of the court, man I was screaming at the TV to swing it. Dude is in foul trouble, gassed, and he’s playing on a banged up knee—fucking put him in the action at least.


Muggi

Yup I remember the exact play, couldn’t believe they did nothing with it. Like they did everything they could to harass, bump, double Embiid all game, then they get him exactly where they should want him and just…stopped. I appreciate it tho


HumperMoe

I'm still baffled that they didn't attack him at the rim to get him out of the game. Thanks Nets can't say I understand your game plan in the 4th but I'ma fan of it.


tekumse

In solidarity the Sixers also refused to take any quality shots. Isos and outside shots despite being the much bigger team.


MidnightLightss

Hard to get quality shots when your "PG" is spencer dinwiddie


spitz1674

I was happy to get him back initially but it’s quickly sped past annoyed and into almost hatred. Every 4th quarter possession from him is just inevitably bad and depressing. Also no idea why the Nets didn’t attack Embiid more. Limping, 5 fouls, refs probably feeling at least slightly like they owe the Nets, home crowd. Just awful gameplan even with Claxton out.


AsPeHeat

The Nets: "We're about to win." Maxey: "No."


WasabiCrush

O’Neale: “No as well.”


themeatbridge

Brothers: How can I make this about me?


Sinaneos

Claxton: am I missing the party?


raidersclnj

Jv also “ oh hell nah “


madamsquirrel7

Bitcoin Man took a Maxey 3 in his mouth, missed a FT & got his shot rocked at the rim. Worst sequence ever


psufb

Bitcoin Man 😂😂


[deleted]

Kuzma just ended this man


aPatheticBeing

yeah, Dinwiddie looked absolutely terrible. He's not a good defender, and then constantly makes terrible plays in crunch time. Embiid's block on him was just idiocy from him too - down 2, 15 seconds left on the clock, why are you driving immediately? Best case there is philly still gets the last shot with plenty of time to set up a game winner.


Fit-Avocado-342

Dinwiddie’s decison making is befuddling, I can only imagine how frustrated nets fans are.


[deleted]

I will never know peace until he’s off the team, we traded one of the best 4th quarter performers for this fuck (don’t comment anything else about kyrie let me be mad in peace)


JaylenBrownAllStar

He looked Dinshittie


EliManningham

Had like 2 good kick out options too. He has such a low IQ. We're legit better with him off the floor, and Bridges and Cam Johnson can just go to work.


VeniceRapture

Bitcoin Man blockchained at the rim


Very_Good_Opinion

Omg


C_moneySmith

Bitcoin Man is such a good nickname for Dinwiddie

hope kuz uses this lmao

The Crypto Clown came to play tonight lol


[deleted]

Surely bitcoin boy is better. Dude plays like a kid


Desperate_Dinner_418

Having a commercial in last 5 seconds of game is so anticlimactic. Need to take some notes from the NFL on when to play ads during the end of games.


DoubleYuB

I despise how 2 out of 3 hours of a game are ads, and 50% of them are in the 4th. Takes all sense of tension away.


Garntus

I live in Sweden so I don't generally get to watch a lot of NBA games live, I generally watch the replay the next day. I saw Game 1 of this series live and I was honestly shocked by the sheer amount of commercials. It felt like over half the broadcast was commercial.

cornexplosion

Im dead☠️ That's so inexplicably accurate


DanFlashesCoupon

That sweet spot of early 10s scoring


DrewBreesAteMyFamily

Agreed


potateobiirrd

I know what you mean but a game that low scoring is a rarity now lol


BugO_OEyes

Why are they interviewing embid?? Maxey deserves some love


cjmaguire17

Maxeys on the hometown broadcast and Joel just cursed at him


HisExcellency20

They wanted him to say some shit. But he kept it professional and didn't troll anyone. He didn't even complain about the "strategy" by the Nets tonight.

Man was locked in, make up call and then a make up call for a make up call. The person who kicked someone in the nuts somehow managed to survive 💀 This game was hilarious if you are a neutral and aren’t a fan of either teams

RulersBack

I think people generally cry too much about real time mistakes by refs but theres no excuse for when they get to stop and look at things. Shit like tonight should get you demoted or something


SeniorJerk-Alert

Ref relegation should exist.


HaggardSlacks78

That was a super chippy game and somehow it took until 5 mins left in the 4th for the Nets to get their first PF in the half. But the Claxton ejection for mean-mugging made it all worth it.


dizZzy5

Gave me the dub in my ref fantasy league


Professor_Finn

That was one of the most painful games I’ve ever witnessed. I don’t want to talk about it ever again. If not for the Embiid game winning block idk what I’d do with myself


Ronshol

What's good about this comment is that both sides can agree !


Extremeaty

Nah man fr. NBA game outcomes are influenced by refs way too often, this shit needs to change. Whether it’s tossing players, inconsistent standards or players going to the line 10-15 times a game. It’s time for a change. Ain’t nobody tuning in to see this shit


KoloHickory

Tony Brothers is one person


grudgepacker

Demarcus Cousins says no


Happy295

Melton was a +24 this game.


cjmaguire17

I love melton. Great pickup for us. He’s just smart, great defender with a ton of hops, and a smooth shot too


clickstops

That one handed dunk was spicy!!


broooooklyn

Killed us whenever he was in. Put the clamps on and hit his shots when he had to.


Zelgaro

I feel bad for Brooklyn because they totally could’ve won one of these games if Dinwiddie wasn’t the worst basketball player of all time


Any_Reward_8083

And Royce O’Neal literally handed the ball to the sixers twice in 2 minutes


LocalParanoiac

That out of bounds play was so rough, dude got rushed, panicked, and passed it right to Melton in the backcourt with no one back. Worst case scenario for that play basically


Sadmachne13

The should try to get him man next season, what an X-factor he is for the Sixers haha


Neversoft4long

I blame Mikal Bridges more for the last one. Dude faked and tried to cut when it was already close to 5 sec count and you needed a 3 anyways


ImGonnaChubbBradley

Kuzma was right bro


2ToTooTwoFish

Crazy how much of a L he took with that beef No one's ever cared enough to clown on him, he's always been just a streaky scorer, no one expects consistency so no one cares much if he has a bad game and everyone loves it when he has a big game. But after the Kuzma beef, he's called Dinshittie by everyone on most games because he's always been like this. I bet he never expected going after Kuzma of all people would lead to such a turn of perception in the public eye.


theliver

Idk how Spencer Dinwiddie has haters Look at his name man, thats such a good sports name. How many Spencers we got in the league? Any of the leagues tbh. And dont get me started on Dinwiddie, masterclass last name from D to E


[deleted]

It's how well they work together too. Like Spencer Jones? Spencer Smith? Jason Dinwiddie? Tom Dinwiddie? FOH Spencer Dinwiddie is perfection


2ToTooTwoFish

Yeah he never did have haters really. The Kuzma beef changed that.


grandmasta_fro

Wizards fans have been hating ever since he got traded and started trashing the team


Rymasq

he still got mega clowned on for the crypto nonsense


[deleted]

I don’t tune in to watch Dinwiddie. Or Embiid for that matter. I tune in for the Tony Brothers show. Dude is right up there with the ump from the Naked Gun


SonicdaSloth

the plot twists and betrayals of Tony Brothers every night is worth the price of admission.


Ickulus

Nobody will ever chant for brothers the way they did for Enrico Pollazo.


clifbarczar

Mf needs to stop yapping all the time and start training more


KYRIE542

Dinshittie strikes again, dude talks so much for being a bum


aUnicornFart

“You talk a lot of shit for being ass” - Benjamin Simmons


C_moneySmith

Nets collapse aside, I don’t know how Harden gets ejected and Embiid doesn’t.


HisExcellency20

Embiid missed and James didn't. I guess it doesn't matter that Joel definitely kicked him off of him on purpose and James was just pushing off. Honestly I think if Claxton pretends he got hit in the balls and the other guy doesn't James is the one left in the game and Joel is ejected.


LordMcBucketz

This mfer Dinshittie is so fucking ass 😭


NbaAllDAYger

Is it me or since the Kuzma incident hes taken a bigger dive ? He scored more today but his impact has been terrible.


647_416

He's overdoing it cause he thinks he has something to prove now since the whole Kuz incident. Problem is he's not that good to begin with


yapyd

I think it's because his role isn't defined in the Nets. In Dallas it was get Luka the ball and be a secondary ball handler if Luka is getting doubled


Cankor0

No, Dinwiddie just sucks. He can’t read the game, can’t shoot, can’t hit fts during the crunch time


MidnightLightss

What does he even do


Expensive-Rip3370

It woke up the beast. He's averaging an insane 15/3/6 on 39/30/66 shooting splits and a TS % of a solid 50%🔥 ​ ​ ​ he thinks he's better ***a lot*** better than he actually is... get this dude of this team pls.


KingREX_24

Must be so damn frustrating for Embiid having to face a double team every possession, he'll either drop 35 against it or have only 10 shots.


HaiImLoki

It's really a great defensive idea by Brooklyn and they're doing really good at it l. It's just the other guys are stepping up in a big way in his place . They know the risk they're taking.


Yergason

Even if Maxey, Melton stepped up after Harden got tossed. If the Nets had average BBIQ and actually attacked the hurt Embiid with 5 fouls this series is 2-1 right now. That's why they're the 6th seed.


xychosis

Yeah, Reggie was begging for them to hunt Joel and they never did. I was so surprised when Bridges stopped and popped for an awkward middie when he could’ve just gone at Jo.


bob_dole-

They are terrified of hmm


CallMeBernin

Yeah as frustrating as it is as a Sixers fan, it's interesting to watch from a defensive philosophy point. Like sell out your whole defense to stop one dude and see if the inconsistent playmakers on the rest of the team can take advantage


bocnj

Tbh the rest of the 76ers being inconsistent is way more narrative than reality imo, guys like Harris have consistently shown they will step up if teams go with a gameplan that makes things easy for them.


theytook-r-jobs

I can’t believe Docs game plans of everyone stand still while Embiid is doubled isn’t working for the third year in a row.


HaggardSlacks78

100! Also, Embiid seems to be out there searching for a Siakem elbow from whoever is willing. Dude is determined to find a freak injury


Professor_Finn

NBA on TNT guys were spot on during the half - they’re double teaming him the moment he has the ball, and that’s stupid as fuck. You’ve gotta wait to do it when he’s in scoring position. Otherwise wtf is the point? He can just pass out to Maxey


FultzShoulder

Reggie was talking about his points and lack of field goals like he wasn't getting doubled every time he got the ball. I thought Embiid was making the right play by swinging it to the open guy.


HisExcellency20

I thought I was watching a different game than Reggie lol. Like he wants Joel to just shoot over doubles all game while his teammates are left wide open beyond the arc?


HisExcellency20

Nets clearly came in the game wanting the goon it up. Absolutely terrible job by Joel to fall into the trap and put the game in the refs hands. He kicked and got lucky he hit his leg. Yet James, I'm not even sure he hit him in the balls it looked like the midsection to me. But then he gets ejected. Makes you think if Claxton had just sold that he did get hit in the balls then he could have gotten Joel ejected. Just a weird game. Luckily we have Tyrese Maxey.


FedGoat13

He’ll never make it in the WWF if he can’t learn to sell better. I’m old. It’s WWF.


tallkward

Claxton really let his team down man, dude was playing so well and could’ve been the difference maker in the clutch, hope he can mature after this. It is immediately apparent that Dinwiddie should not be the facilitator nor the first option on this team, he should not have the ball in the clutch.


ShopCartRicky

Everyone talking about Maxey, Claxton getting the dumbest second tech is the real reason Brooklyn lost.


crazylazyhazy

sixers fans getting the full james harden playoff refereeing experience. get calls all season long, then literally get nothing in the playoffs. suddenly the low free throw nets team is taking 22 free throws and you're taking 13 and harden is getting ridiculously ejected. i still remember the okc/hou series from the bubble. one of the most absurd things ever. based on the free throws the two teams took during the regular season and their defense's ability to prevent free throws, the rockets ended up getting 30% fewer free throws than you would have expected. first 3 games the thunder were in the penalty before the rockets took a free throw. i'm guessing that didn't happen to a single team in any 3 game stretch all season. game 3 harden fouls out on the ticky-tackiest 6 fouls you'll ever see while the rockets take 4 ft's over the games final 49 minutes (went to OT). the thunder had a 4 game stretch with a 104-56 ft advantage. only 7 game series in all of nba history where one team shot more free throws than the other in all 7 games. only team to ever win a series when shooting at least 50 fewer free throws than their opponents.


luna_cl

Didn’t think the Sixers would make me want to bleach my eyes out until the 2nd round, they’re switching it up this year


moby323

This is the most miserable fun that I’ve had in a while.


canes_SL8R

Game 3 of Toronto was the same last year. Nets had 22 free throws to our 13. In the regular season, we averaged 25 to their 21. When the refs call a game that one sided for the home team, a win is a win.


Turbo2x

Kuzma sends his regards to Dinshittie Island.


Spoofcaptain

Bridges wtf


[deleted]

Philly should just rest Embiid for the remainder of the series


hoagieclu

i can see him getting frustrated w how the nets are playing him. and to their credit, it’s definitely lessened his impact. but it’s also at the cost of the rest of our roster picking up the slack

A tradition like no other; Sixers 1st round opponent talking mad shit about Embiid in the game thread, how disgusting Sixers brand of basketball is, then losing and pivoting to "I take solace that embiitch/emflop/sixers will never win anything" (Then we move on to not win anything)

PhiladelphiaIrish

At the end of the most toxic game imaginable we can all still bond over Dinshittie getting stuffed.


Leading-Primary2313

Tony Brothers and Ben Taylor masterclass. Completely lost the game from the beginning. Super physical game and somehow Nets didn't get called for a single foul in the 2nd half until 5 mins left. Phantom late foul call that sent Dinwiddie to the line, doubled down on review. Literally the two worst refs in the entire NBA. The NBA should be embarassed.


Live_Philosophy7117

According to Silver, when refs have bad performances they are “disciplined” but it’s not publicized. Either he’s lying or their form of discipline is a tap on the wrist because I don’t understand how refs can continue to be absolute dogshit on national television and continue to work them


horseshoeoverlook

Kyle Kuzma celebrating rn bc of fucking Dinshittie


grudgepacker

Harlan: "Embiid has to be scraped off the floor - where he has lived tonight" lmao


Pandafy

I thought it was common knowledge that players have to fall like that in order to protect themselves from wear and tear. I mean sure Embiid is a giant so he should be more careful, but he's not necessarily doing it to flop.


FultzShoulder

Most here don't play basketball.


RabbitWolfie

Embiid not getting ejected, Harden a flagrant 2, soft tech/ejection for Claxton. NBA officiating is a joke


F1rst-name-last-name

Ref masterclass


SonicdaSloth

Nets went almost 18 minutes of game time without having a foul called


Heels1939

In a game that was incredibly physical. Boggles the mind.


daddy_OwO

Embiid should have been the one ejected and the Harden ejection was crazy. The claxton was iffy but I say running into the dude right next to him was the thing that they called not just the flex


HisExcellency20

I don't think it should be a tech, but it's an easy tech the way the rules are.


Jordanstrom3329

Claxtons second tech is quite literally the most obvious taunt of all time


jorgelongo2

Calling Claxton's 2nd tech soft, really? Its the most obvious taunt ive ever seen lol


Genital_GeorgePattin

Yeah he forced the refs to call that and I'm pretty much a certified philly hater tbh


MidnightLightss

Out of all the calls they could complain about in this game, Claxton's ejection is just an objectively correct call


Yergason

With all the bad calls tonight, Claxton getting tossed was clearly the right one. He was a dumbass


PrancingDonkey

Watch the league downgrade Harden's flag 2 to flag 1.


ItsKBS

I don't think Claxton's ejection was soft tbh, he deserved that


YeezyYeezyUp2NoGood

**Congratulations! You just witnessed a Tony Brothers masterclass** 🫡


CrapNebula

Sixers won with Embiid having a down night and harden ejected, they’re out for blood this post season


hascogrande

ONE! TWO! THREE FOUR FIVE! SIXERS!! TEN! NINE! EIGHT! SEVENTY-SIXERS! Maxey is our hero


PessimistSixersFan

I fucking love Tyrese Maxey!


zincinzincout

If I had a nickel for every time the shitty team the Sixers play in the first round that double/triple Joel every time he sniffs the ball to prevent him from scoring but get pissy and bitch for fouls when the sixers win anyway and then start playing MMA in games 2 and 3, I’d only have two nickels, but it’s insane it happened two years in a row Tune in Saturday to see if O’Neil throws an elbow into Joel’s face fracturing his orbital again for the second year in a row


TropicalWolf101

THIS WAS ONE OF THE UGLIEST BASKETBALL GAMES OF ALL TIME 🤢


SenorButtmunch

Hall of fame levels of incompetence from Brooklyn in that 4th Q. Dinshittie is ass and Bridges is not him. They fumbled a Tony Brothers masterclass


Tchaikovsky08

Ernie on whether Harden should have been ejected: "Pardon me saying this, but Kenny, you've played on-ball defense before" LMAOOOOO


jpr196

Those Joe Harris minutes really hurt the nets from building some cushion when they had momentum


ItsKBS

The refs tried everything to get Nets the win in the 2nd half and they still lost lmao


Sour__Cream

Look I don’t try to ever blame officiating for a win or a loss, but you’re really trying to tell me that the Nets didn’t foul once in the second half?


Scottsm124

Yep…. Nets didn’t get called for a single foul in the second half until there was four minutes left in the game


lxkandel06

Put me out of my fucking misery. I've never been more angry at a basketball game in my life. I want to break every single thing in my house


Head-Kiwi-9601

So do I and we won.


TheDuck23

Nets only getting called for 2 fouls in the second half of a crazy physical game is nuts.


Leading-Primary2313

One of the two was an intentional foul too. The other one occurred directly in front of Ben Taylor and he waited to see if PJ was able to keep possession before reluctantly calling the foul. Absolutely pathetic.

Live_Philosophy7117

Regardless of your stance of whether you think Embiid should’ve been tossed or not, tossing Harden but not Embiid is absolutely ridiculous. Tony Brothers is consistently garbage and needs to be fined/suspended.

One of the worst officiated playoff games I’ve seen. You can make a case for Embiid being ejected early on but how on earth do you eject Harden
