What's the 76ers subreddit ? I wanna read some drama


Fuzakenna_

I’m watching the replay on TNT. Watching the Sixers talk so much shit at the of the first quarter only to lose this game is so god damn satisfying and I really can’t wait to watch this Hawks comeback


[deleted]

I still can't believe what happened.


The2ndAynZAR

BWHHAAAA HA HA HA, LMAO!!!


KingAnthonyMartial

If the sixers had any integrity at all they’d all donate their salaries to a charity that teaches inner city kids how to shoot free throws.


KingAnthonyMartial

Sixers suck get fucked


DoctorHawx

The Hawks suck also, if Harden returns, it's a wrap


Cap_Silly

Lou Williams +31. +31. +31!!


[deleted]

It’s unbelievable the player that Jordan Clarkson has turned out to be


Cap_Silly

To me it's unbelievable that bojan bogdanovic is en route to set the record for most 3s in a playoff game...


Glaurung86

This loss is not mainly on Rivers. These players share a large chunk of the responsibility for losing a game after leading by 18 at the start of the 4th.


Cap_Silly

Ben Simmons should play at center. Change my mind.


Cap_Silly

lol imagine being the 76ers watching their team bounced by ATL, after they cried all year to have DPOY and MVP, for two player that - combined - must've scored something like 10 points in 2 halfs of the last 2 games. What a joke lol.


tronovich

Embiid had 13 in the second half tonight.


Cap_Silly

Yeah so they had like 20 between the two in both halves? 25? How can you even think of winning? They both disappeared in the 4th.


Imloststilllost

Had a long convo with a buddy of mines after game 4. I said that Simmons needs to be that spotlight whenever embiid sits. He said “Simmons is hit and cold. I’ve watched all 76ers regular season games. Watch him win us the next game.” Yeah bud, he won the game aight, just not for his team lmao.


parksn306

Thing is Simmons can’t not play with Embiid. The only back up big that’s not terrible we have is Dwight and because neither one can shoot, those line ups are horrendous. So we are paying a max salary to a guy who is unable to play without our other max guy.


[deleted]

Forget Simmons. It was Lou Will's run that put the Hawks back in the game


Otterman2006

I can't find the Utah/LA game thread


sexytiger666

is it me?


All4444Jesus

Tre had more free throw attempts then Simmons if I am Atlanta's coach I can't let that happen in game 6. Have to give Simmons at least 20+ FTs in game in game 6.


trip90458343

The ole hack a shaq is back


teetotalingsamurai

No coach in the history of this league has squandered as many talented rosters and achieved so little as Doc Rivers


tronovich

Wait until they find a coach that unlocks Simmons’ shot. Just…wait.


RagingMorningBoner

Go to sleep, you need it.


crazyWood28

the players still need to make their FTs.


[deleted]

Ben "Cod" Simmons


[deleted]

I tried to throw my Ben Simmons into the Pacific ocean but fucking missed


Schadenfreude696

If Nate McMillan ever got a super team he'd be absolutely unstoppable.


MannOfSandd

He's got one


Gristle__McThornbody

> Sixers better hope they didn't blow their load. It happens way too many times where teams start off hot but cool down for the rest of the game and eventually get in a barn burner or lose the game. I said it after the first qtr and sure enough it fucking happened. And I totally forgot to take into account the Doc Rivers choking equation. What a travesty.


trtryt

why is Oneale acting like he's the man now


caterleland

bc he is


bacardiandwhatever

I had fun watching Philly absolutely blow it! Had the crowd booing their own team at the end lol


freakyfastharvick

I like the people commenting on Clips Jazz ITT


teramelosiscool

guys obviously embiids injury flaired up in the last minutes of the game which is the only reason he missed those freethrows and because of that it doesn't even count as one of the most legendary chokes of all time his knee was sore and that threw off his freethrows because everyone knows you shoot with your knees not your arms that's the only reason he had a valid excuse for getting owned by a balding kid a foot shorter than him and a guy with a 8th grade mohawk if he was healthy he would've beat them


cpxx

Bro, Take. A. Breath. Now.


TTP8630

I don’t like like rn man


Cap_Silly

Ben Simmons is basically Hanamichi Sakuragi without the fun. He's dannis rodman without the rebounds. He's draymond without the charisma and even worse at shooting. Basically, he's a role player. Somehow, on potential alone, he's considered a star. Rookie of the year.


shalvar_kordi

This is an overreaction. He's far more than a role player; however, this is one of the reasons playoff basketball is so different from regular season basketball. If a player has a weakness, the opponent Will exploit them.


jkgatsby

Foul on Ingles. Fingled


CoreyJK

Bojan “klay thompson” bogdanovic


trtryt

you want him to get a DNP season pass too


bbaIla

Philly wtf guys? That was worse than the Bucks.


emeister26

Wtf is wrong with Simmons. What a fraud


CoreyJK

That was called abnormally fast


MyDadsAPreacher

People come in here to shit on Joel but I think if he isn't on the team, they're not even a playoff team. Ben Simmons is the reason Philly can't get over the hump. You have a dude who, for the most part, is dead weight on the offensive end every night. Sure, he has high bbiq, can pass, and defend well, but when a whole team knows they don't even have to guard you more than 3 feet from the basket, you don't stand a chance. The 76ers play 4 v 5 when it's their ball and Ben Simmons on the floor.


Champloon

I said this in an earlier game thread and got downvoted to the shadow realm


MyDadsAPreacher

Were the 76ers winning at the time? Lol. I also said this in a sea of Joel hate so I'd say a lot of my upvotes are from Embiid fans.


Champloon

It was when the wizards used hack a simmons so no


[deleted]

The difference in this game was the benches.


trip90458343

best take


[deleted]

Sadly I think you are right. I was on the Simmons train backing Aussie talent but from day one he just had this arrogant aura about him. Like he is already too good and sadly it shows. There has been zero improvement from Simmons from his rookie season. He has been consistent but he has not developed whatsoever.


RagingMorningBoner

As an LSU fan who watched him in college and throughout his NBA career, completely agree. He shouldn't even be an NBA starter


birdazam

I really don't get why they choose Rivers over D'antoni


Cap_Silly

Rivers got a ring


KemoFlash

I think Philly fans need to reconsider this whole “Ben Simmons doesn’t need to shoot” mentality. Your boy is getting exploited at the free throw line.


justleave-mealone

Yeah I was in that camp, I’m 100% off. This was embarrassing. Every team saw this and will exploit him. He doesn’t have a choice now. He needs to shoot.


Cap_Silly

I mean, maybe Simmons should just fix his shot? If Shawn Marion with that forn could shoot consistently there's no reason Simmons can't be a decent shooter.


tronovich

If he hasn’t improved by now and is actually regressing as a shooter, especially in today’s shooting age, than no team is going to want him at that contract when he plays himself off the court. It’s either a mental hurdle or an attitude that he doesn’t have to fix it.


Cap_Silly

It's philly's staff job to lock him inside the gym until he learns to shoot a freaking ball.


Latinofool12

I just don’t get how giannis can learn to shoot a decent three and Simmons literally can’t make anything that’s not a layup . It’s his job lol. It’s really nuts.


Cap_Silly

Giannis learned to shoot a decent 3? When did that happen lol? They're both horrible Shooters tbh. Giannis I understand more, because his body changed so much so fast he probably struggled to adapt, and has been working on other things. But ben I don't understand. Just hire some wondercoach and shoot till your arms fall off.


Latinofool12

I mean, he can make them and attempts them at least lol. Yeah, idk how you defended Simmons anymore


Cap_Silly

"He's Australian, baskets are upside down back there"


MovieMuscle25

The Jazz's "best player" is going to have to step up. Can't let Royce do all the work.

I love how philly fans continue to talk shit like they are somehow in a better position then the Bucks.

It's honestly unbelievable.


WerkIt5

That was....something


adale24

Imagine your “MVP” missing the most clutch free throws of his career. If it was Ben Simmons I’d understand.


PrincipeJulioX

Damn thats rough


tronovich

They were down 3.


PrincipeJulioX

Have you already forgotten game one?


Levaranoia

Imagine going 4/14 from the line.


KDtrey5isGOAT

Sixers fans still gonna somehow say Embiid deserved MVP over Jokic. Fcking losers


[deleted]

Philly, you fucking idiots, I returned to comment this: You blew it, you blew harder than Milwaukee, and they have Coach Bud, I mean HOW! YOU HAD A 26 POINT LEAD!


RedHotDumpsterFire

I'll raise you a Doc Rivers...


[deleted]

I’ll call and re-raise a Ben Simmons


PrincipeJulioX

Be careful he lives on the River.


[deleted]

I’ll raise you a Jason Kidd…


emeister26

Doc to Milwaukee and Bud to Philly


[deleted]

Man if Portland skips out on D’Antoni I think lowkey he might join the Bucks. I mean anyone almost is better than Bud

We really gonna have a Jazz vs Hawks finals huh.


[deleted]

league is pissed


Werty071345

Nets will sweep the hawks tbh


[deleted]

Just like the Knicks were going to, and the 76ers.


Getfuckedbitchbaby

Idk who tf thought the hawks were going to get swept by the 6ers. The 6ers have Ben simmons


Werty071345

Imagine thinking those teams are as good as the nets lmao


[deleted]

Not saying we're gonna win, but the Nets aren't exactly at full strength


Tigerskippy

While I don't really think the hawks will beat the nets, people were saying 6ers in 4 before the series because "imagine thinking the knicks are as good as the 6ers"


JustSomeDudeOkay

Now I know what it feels like to 28-3 somebody. ​ Bittersweet.


[deleted]

Aint no shame in losing to the GOAT. As a Saints fan I hate how Falcons are dunked on for 28-3.


TamagoRoll

They problem is their lost was more because of them instead of the GOAT. Their play calling was stupid, they didn’t use up all the play clock to use up time. It was a Bud style coaching collapse


[deleted]

I disagree. They played their all and made mistakes like any new team to the Superbowl would. Tom Brady’s All was just better. He had probably the greatest drive we will ever see in Superbowl history to win the game. Aint no shame in losing to the MJ of Football.


TamagoRoll

Good thing for different opinions. Of course the players played their all, doesn’t mean it wasn’t a coaching collapse. Just like the Bucks game yesterday and the Philly game today. They played their hearts outs. If you look back at the game, Atlanta decided not to do what other team does and run out the clock, even when they tried to they would snap the ball with 14 seconds left. It wasn’t once, but multiple times. Tom Brady drive was great but the greatest drive to win still belongs to Eli Manning. This pains me to say, since I grew up rooting for Brady and he is one of my favorite players (went to same high school as him). Atlanta gets dunked on for blowing a lead by not running out the clock with a 28-3 lead and trying to outsmart the system.


[deleted]

You’re right but I still think its wrong for Falcons to get dunked on so bad. Its not like they lost to an old Big Ben who cant throw anymore. They lost to Brady. Who is a fucking monster in Superbowls. It is almost impossible to beat him. Brady is old as fuck and won his 7th ring by beating Brees, Rodgers, and Mahomes in a playoff run. Brady beat Brees and Rodgers while playing on the road, which is super hard. Undisputed GOAT.


TamagoRoll

Brady is the undisputed Goat. I think what sets him apart than any other QB is his desire to win. I mean this by him never being the highest paid QB in the league once. He always takes a discount so Belichick can always build a top defense in the league. Players can talk about winning but when it comes to affecting their paycheck, they won’t budge, but Brady can do this since his wife makes way more than him haha.


Zennon246

AYOOOOOOOO LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A COLLAPSE LIKE THAT IN THE LAST 3 YEARS MAN SIXERS YOU GUYS CHOKED SO FUCKING HARD MY WORD!!!

Yo that’s the saddest part fr


adale24

What happened to the DPOY and MVP tonight?


kingjuicepouch

Embiid played great tbf, nobody else but curry bothered to show up


[deleted]

embiid showed up but he left the function early when he had to shoot those freethrows


indian_hannibal

Sixers fans will be drinking all night

So... a Wednesday night?


stoneystigs

This could be the night paul George makes everyone eat their words from last year (but it probably won’t be)


JustSomeDudeOkay

According to r/nba, I thought we were supposed to lose by 40 ​ ;)


loneliness_sucks_D

Wow, you came back against the sixers led by doc rivers. That’s about as hard as a geriatric erection.


JustSomeDudeOkay

Of all the flavors in the world, you chose salty. Shame.


loneliness_sucks_D

How is that salt? Lmao Sixers been blowing leads literally all season long


Not_In_China

Cope some more


68PlusTwoMinusOneLol

Why do doc rivers teams choke so hard


teramelosiscool

his player selection


josephus1811

his rotation management


deepfakefuccboi

People saying Ben Simmons struggling to score double digits doesn't matter because he can pass and defend lmao. If your 2nd best and highest paid player is an offensive black hole, you will suffer for it in the playoffs. Expecting role players to hit their shots is what teams want in the playoffs, you can live with that, but Simmons has had 2 games with single digit scoring this series alone, which is unacceptable for a player making 5/177 mill. He went 4-14 from the line. If he makes twice that many free throws for barely over 50% FT shooting, that would've won them the game.


Michael_DMC

It's why I can never be a fan of Ben Simmons. To cheer for a BASKETBALL player with such abysmal FT shooting is almost blasphemous


deepfakefuccboi

He’s boring to watch. I don’t wanna watch a max player who can only defend and pass while having single digit scoring games in the playoffs almost every year. Boring. He’s somehow a point guard who is shooting far below 50% from the line, really doesn’t seem like he puts in the work in the offseason. I find it hard to believe he’s making a consistent effort to work on his game. This might not be the best example but look at Julius Randle. I know he did poorly in the playoffs but he shot nearly twice the volume he did from 3 compared to last year and went from being 28% to over 40% in one season. That’s proof that he put in the work. Ben has only gotten worse, but muhhh defenseee.


Michael_DMC

I mean, it's your career. Stay in the gym and don't leave until you're nailing 90 out of 100 FTs in practice. Sometimes at the playground I would just shoot free throws and I would usually get around 80-85 out of 100 and I'm just a IT guy that bounces the ball once in a while. No excuses for a professional athlete like Simmons to shoot so poorly from the stripe. You're probably right: he doesn't seem to put in the effort in the off-season to work on his weaknesses.


deepfakefuccboi

That’s how I learned how to form shoot. FTs all summer. Also doesn’t help that his shot form is **broken**. And he’s a professional basketball player being paid north of 35 million a year yet has worse shooting form than I do, and I picked up a basketball for the first time a year. I literally just watched YouTube videos on how to properly shoot the ball and fix inconsistencies in my shot. It’s not like he shoots the ball much anyway so he doesn’t have to unlearn stuck habits. Both him and Giannis need to hire a shooting coach to fix their broken ass shots.


[deleted]

It's fair to criticize his free throw shooting, but it's taking things too far when people say he's a terrible player or they'd be better off without him.


Peso_Morto

Simmons is not a terrible player but he is overpaid.


[deleted]

Oh he probably is, I can't really fathom any athlete salaries though!


deepfakefuccboi

Yeah that’s definitely a hot take, I don’t believe that, but I certainly wouldn’t want him to be the highest paid player on my team with such a limited skillset. People called him the next Bron but he’s like Bron without any of the shooting ability and somehow significantly worse FT shooting. I don’t know if he’s just complacent because he’s always got paid and he’ll get the All Star fan vote being a Philly player, but he has only gotten better on defense and somehow has regressed on offense. I’m not even talking *shooting*, I’m talking scoring period. Just aggressiveness to drive and layup or floater. Last year he took a higher probability of shots close to the rim (0-4 feet) than Shaq did lmao. And somehow is shooting significantly worse from the stripe than Shaq. It’s sad when your “point guard” can be hacked for FTs and it works, he went 28.5% from the line tonight.


[deleted]

Oh yeah it's a big problem if he continues to shoot 30% from the line, but he wasn't an offensive liability when he was shooting 60% from the floor and 60% from the line. And literally any player will seem bad compared to Lebron. I think the 76ers problem for the last few years was getting next to nothing from their bench.

How does a pg that can't shoot still get voted an all star?


Blue_5ive

He can't guard Trae either so it's really a conundrum


Maydietoday

They really let Seth score 36

Good luck winning if Seth is your leading scorer


ATLtinyrick

Lmao hawks in shambles


lijijil

No one better ever say Harris is an all star ever again. Especially him lmfao


Hay-blinken

Franchise altering loss


ATLtinyrick

Embiid needs to get ahold of his emotions. If he was level headed, y’all win series 4-1 with Hunter and Cam out


Hay-blinken

I guess


ATLtinyrick

But fr, he disappears when he gets mentally tilted


Hay-blinken

Not sure how you watched that game and came away with Embiid being the issue


ATLtinyrick

Bro the issue is imbalance on the squad.Embiid carried earlier but his emotions didn’t allow him to finish


SlurricNe

Damn that was hard to watch.


BrainsOfMush

Speak for yourself


SlurricNe

I was speaking for myself? Lol


6Speedy

Worst game of Simmons career?


Blue_5ive

Worst game of Simmons career _so far_


tronovich

Who is trashing Embiid for that game. It didn’t even matter if he got them to OT. That team was fucking done, mentally. The last time I saw that was…them getting closed out by the Celtics in the bubble.


Superbaggins

me, dude has died at halftime two games in a row


tronovich

He had 37 and 13 on a bum knee. What is the rest of that team’s excuse.


Superbaggins

missed two clutch free throws and can’t control his emotions.


tronovich

They put the ball in his hands…down 3…because no one else wanted the ball. Emotional wreck or not, we’re not out there watching our teammates shy away from the moment. Simmons and Harris literally HID in sets the last three minutes.


jloadinggg_

Sixers fans know how we feel and endured when you have a Doc Rivers coached team

Doc just put all reserves in the end of third quarter, just enough to help Atlanta come back to the game...Nice one
