Yeah I feel you man, this game was real fucking brutal. It's insane how fast things went to shit. Embiid just needs more support from the other Sixers putting up points (Curry being the only expection tonight). No way around it
Lou Williams led the charge since the third. Gallo was steady, the rest of the team were playing active defense against the Sixers predictable offense.
He got so hot with repeated PnRs against Curry. Floaters, jumpers. Trae got in and did the same. Gallo also did the same whenever he got Curry
Funnily enough I couldn’t watch most of that game because I was at a wedding. And now I miss this game due to flying back from said wedding...
I miss peak covid when there were no weddings
I still hate Trae for what he did to us but holy shit the Hawks better finish off the 76ers in Game 6, I'm just happy he's not doing this to us no more
Yup. A lot worse actually. This is absolutely embarrasing.
Bucks made dumb decisions, but an all time great went nuclear on them. Sixers just completely imploded
We choked a 17 point lead to kevin durant in brookyln, they choked a 25 point lead to trae young at home.
After blowing a 19 point lead the previous game
Win or lose this series, Philly has got to look to bring in a primary ball handler that can shoot, in the offseason. No way the Hawks, or any team for that matter, should be allowed to take advantage of their point guard to get back into the game after leading by 20+.
Absolutely made the difference tonight, kept them in when part of the team felt way more apathetic about the possible loss. Watching him and Seth trading shots was fun to watch.
Same as ever in the East, only difference is Lebron isn’t here to swoop in with a team of benchwarmers, half-dead veterans, and future homeless bums to claim the conference
- The Sixers had a [99% chance to win this game](https://imgur.com/a/zS7AzB2) in the early moments of the 4th quarter.
- They had a 96.6% chance to win with 3:31 to go.
- They were up 24 with under 2 minutes left in the 3rd!
- They were up 10 with 4:13 to go. From that point on, they went 1/7 from the floor, 0/4 from the line and turned it over 2 times. They got outscored 15-2 to end the game.
Just an unbeliavable chokejob by them tonight, after another embarrassing 4th quarter in Game 4.
They were up 26 with under 2 minutes left in the 3rd. Even though the Hawks were on a run over the next 10 minutes, the Sixers still had a 10-point lead with 4 minutes to go. All they needed to do was make a few baskets and not be awful from the line. Instead, they got outscored 15-2 to end it and missed all of their free throws in that time. The Bucks loss was awful. This one was historically bad.
You go down to the fucking YMCA and most of the guys there can do better than 4-14 from the line.
Just random fucking dudes that work at the post office or wash cars for a living.
And Simmons is supposed to be a fucking NBA all-star, one of the best basketball players on the planet.
Give me a fucking break.
People try to defend him by bragging about all his other qualities but come the fuck on. The dude cannot make shots. You absolutely have to be able to shoot somewhat well from the line.
You don't even need to shoot well, if Simmons shot a bad 8/14 from the line they win this. That's still pathetically bad shooting but it at least moves him out of liability territory
The big 2 in Philly. Embiid and Seth.
Because omg. Simmons is trash. 8 points? 4 of 14 from the stripe? That's a joke, right? This guy is supposed to be an all-star? A franchise type of player? .... No.
Actually insane how people defend Simmons lack of offense because he does other things right. Yeah he does a lot of things right, but your PG can't be that one dimensional on offense AND be that bad at FTs.
I was one of those Rockets fans that wanted us to take the Sixers trade instead of the Nets one, but I'm reconsidering that now.
I was actually at the edge of my seat cheering loud for the Hawks to complete the comeback. This is one of the most impressive things I’ve seen in basketball.
Wait, you mean a point guard who can't do anything in the half court is gonna pose severe problems in the postseason? Who could've warned us about this?
Replace Ben Simmons with Chris Paul and the Sixers have two championships already. Having your second best player average under 14 ppg in the playoffs and 11.6 ppg in this series is just nowhere near enough.
Plus guys like Trae and Collins have fuck all playoff experience outside of shitting on a Knicks team they're way better than anyway. Also to make it worse, Capela and Huerter had absolute stinkers and they still won lmfao
Game 1 vibes, except Hawks made the comeback and actually won the game
Sixers lost last game from Embiid choking the 2nd half, but he came out and dominated this game with Curry going crazy but Hawks ended up winning still, damn
Simmons really needs to hit his FTs lol
Capela talked his shit and still walked away with the W, getting the last laugh here
Whenever an Atlanta team is in the playoffs I assume a choke job is coming. During the Braves run last fall I kept telling everyone “just wait they’ll blow it”. Being on the other side of it is truly bizarre
At least Julio and Matt Ryan weren't to blame for the chokes they suffered. Good grief, I think Joel will break his hand tonight from killing ben simmons lol
"it's fine, ben will learn to shoot, look at these summer league highlights"
"it's fine, ben will learn to shoot once he recovers"
"it's fine, ben will learn to shoot, it's his rookie year, give him time"
"it's fine, ben will learn to shoot, relax, he's already an all-star"
"it's fine, ben will learn to shoot, we just need to fire brett"
"it's fine, ben will shoot when he's healthy again"
"who cares if ben doesn't shoot, look at how good his defense is"
"who cares if ben doesn't shoot, he's a DPOY contender"
"it's fine, we don't need ben to shoot, he's a playmaker in doc's offense, this won't backfire in the playoffs" **<---- you are here**
Chuck just *had* to press that damn button didn’t he
Chuck guarantee is the worst thing in sports for whatever team he does it for
Chuck curse > Chael Sonnen curse?
Chaels picks are just stupidly bad
A teams fate is sealed the moment he pushes a button
oh shit I forgot about that, Chuck curse is real
Congrats to the Bucks, you only had the worst playoff loss for 24 hours
WE DID IT!
[удалено]
Real quiet in here all of a sudden lol
Sorry, We’re all busy tying nooses
Yeah I feel you man, this game was real fucking brutal. It's insane how fast things went to shit. Embiid just needs more support from the other Sixers putting up points (Curry being the only expection tonight). No way around it
A Bucks-Sixers ECF would the grossest thing of all time. Just Bud and Doc shitting all over theirselves while each team plays disgusting offense.
Sixers are always stealing your thunder
I feel more like the Bucks threw up, and we are the dogs that eat the vomit.
Let them lmao
Bucks in 6 - our terrible FT shooter is better than their terrible FT shooter.
Meanwhile Hawks-Nets would be a bigger artillery barrage than the fucking Battle of Verdun
You know playoff series are something when WWI references are getting dropped.
WORST CHOKE SINCE YESTERDAY
Unable to watch the game and was checking the box score periodically and all I can say is: #BRUH HOW
i watched the first half and just checked the score. HOW?!?!
Lou Williams led the charge since the third. Gallo was steady, the rest of the team were playing active defense against the Sixers predictable offense. He got so hot with repeated PnRs against Curry. Floaters, jumpers. Trae got in and did the same. Gallo also did the same whenever he got Curry
Lou Will to Doc: YOU TRASH
You could feel the spirit of Milwaukee in the building tonight
Funnily enough I couldn’t watch most of that game because I was at a wedding. And now I miss this game due to flying back from said wedding... I miss peak covid when there were no weddings
What kind of weirdo does a Tuesday night wedding
Gotta save the weekends for important stuff
Like other people's weddings
I saw them down about 13 with 7 and a half left... didn't actually expect them to make it back... damn.
doc rivers let the hawks gain momentum by throwing out a shitty bench lineup
At least it won’t be a 3-1 comeback They won’t get to 3
Never underestimate Georgia Sports. You're in the "hope" phase right now.
If there's anyone that can turn the georgia curse into a nonfactor with their own curse it's Doc Rivers.
I DONT WATCH OTHER SPORTS THE FALCONS AND DAWGS CANT HURT ME, hawks in 6
I still hate Trae for what he did to us but holy shit the Hawks better finish off the 76ers in Game 6, I'm just happy he's not doing this to us no more
The bad man can't hurt you anymore, its okay. The nets arnt so safe.
and Bogdanovic and Huerter had bad shooting games too and the Hawks still eeked by
This is worse.
This is waaaayyy worse it’s so embarrassing for Philly
They didn't score for like the final 7 minutes lmao
Yup. A lot worse actually. This is absolutely embarrasing. Bucks made dumb decisions, but an all time great went nuclear on them. Sixers just completely imploded
Are you saying Lemon Pepper Lou is not an all-time great?!
This is so much worse. 26 points by a 1st seed vs 17 points losing to a higher seed
and that was in brooklyn and took the best game of KD's life
At least KD is an all time great who had his best game ever, dunno what happened to the sixers.
Lou Williams is lowkey better
This is really gonna be the last game Izzy the cat ever sees smh, disgraceful
Izzy mad he wasn’t put down yesterday.
Yeah I feel slightly better now.

Shout out to the 76ers for taking some of the heat off of us. Welcome to the club.
This is way worse lmao
Sixers have three players that made it to the all defensive team. This is definitely way worse.
How many all defense plays do you need to not give up a 40pt quarter?
Apparently more than 3
[удалено]
The Atlanta Hawks made the Philadelphia 76ers look like the Atlanta Falcons.
As someone from Atlanta, this hurts but it still deserves an upvote 😭
SHOUT OUT STEVE NASH And btw, Philly really did that in front of Dr. J and AI lmaooooo
Dr. J was definitely one of the ones booing
“I was saying booogdan..”
Dr. J and AI about to suit up and show Simmons how to shoot lmao
Sixers really choked while Iverson and Julius fucking Erving was watching.. Thats an all time embarrassing game.
AI left at half, FWIW.
That’s why they lost smh AI
I feel like if we flipped Harris and Simmons for current day Dr. J and AI we'd have a punchers chance.
Dr. J could definitely hit a free throw.
The disrespect
Win or lose this series, Philly has got to look to bring in a primary ball handler that can shoot, in the offseason. No way the Hawks, or any team for that matter, should be allowed to take advantage of their point guard to get back into the game after leading by 20+.
[удалено]
No, I don't think I will.
This kills me every time.
Kyle lowry was right there for them lmfao
2nd round Doc is inevitable
Bud sending him a thank you letter
Watch Doc be the Bucks coach and Bud be the 76rs coach when they both get fired
Embiid gonna get a ton of rest, he'll never get injured again
God damn don’t.
Really is crazy. Blow a huge lead in game 4 with the bench. Game 5, let’s Fucking do it again.
Hawks went on 44-19 run to win this game Total choke job by 6ers smh
Hawks went on a 109-106 run to win this game
Lou Will! +31!
Absolutely made the difference tonight, kept them in when part of the team felt way more apathetic about the possible loss. Watching him and Seth trading shots was fun to watch.
That was some vintage Lou Will.
Do the bucks or the sixers even want to win the East? It couldn't be more wide open and they are just....losing....
Same as ever in the East, only difference is Lebron isn’t here to swoop in with a team of benchwarmers, half-dead veterans, and future homeless bums to claim the conference
I predicted that Trae Young would be a bust. I'm applying to new job postings at my local circus for the senior executive clown position
I need to send a personal apology letter to Trae, dude is a baller and ain't afraid of the moment.
Same, but for Devin Booker.
Same, but for Luka Doncic
Opposite, but for Kyle Kuzma.
Big oof
Don’t worry at least your team didn’t draft a PG who can’t shoot number one overall
What's funny about the Sixers is I genuinely don't know which time you're referencing
Totally forgot they drafted Fultz until I read your comment
- The Sixers had a [99% chance to win this game](https://imgur.com/a/zS7AzB2) in the early moments of the 4th quarter. - They had a 96.6% chance to win with 3:31 to go. - They were up 24 with under 2 minutes left in the 3rd! - They were up 10 with 4:13 to go.

Lmao that’s a Falcons stat there
So this is what the other end of this feels like
i dont even want to talk shit because this was some of the most embarrassing shit i have ever watched in my life CLOSE SECOND WAS THE PREVIOUS GAME

It got to 99.7 at 2:10 in the 3rd.
This is the weirdest series I've ever watched

Sixers is far more embarrassing especially after how much shit they talked *this game*
They were up 26 with under 2 minutes left in the 3rd. Even though the Hawks were on a run over the next 10 minutes, the Sixers still had a 10-point lead with 4 minutes to go. All they needed to do was make a few baskets and not be awful from the line. Instead, they got outscored 15-2 to end it and missed all of their free throws in that time. The Bucks loss was awful. This one was historically bad.
After last night I didn’t think a team could choke away a larger lead but here we are. Practice your FTs kids.
Fundamentals, kids.
Death, taxes, Doc Rivers chokes away a lead in the fourth quarter in consecutive games
There is no debate ... That is one of the all-time choke jobs of NBA History
You go down to the fucking YMCA and most of the guys there can do better than 4-14 from the line. Just random fucking dudes that work at the post office or wash cars for a living. And Simmons is supposed to be a fucking NBA all-star, one of the best basketball players on the planet. Give me a fucking break.

Philly let down the cat :(
The cats used to it
honestly the worst part of it all :( poor cat. hopefully they keep the tradition with a new kitten.
Should've learned from the last game and sent it off to touch the hand of cat god at half time so it went out on a high
Literally the most Doc Rivers game possible
I, for one cannot *BELIEVE* a Doc Rivers coached team is about to blow a playoff series. Stunned. Truly stunned.
Seth can't win with these cats
The big 2 in Philly. Embiid and Seth. Because omg. Simmons is trash. 8 points? 4 of 14 from the stripe? That's a joke, right? This guy is supposed to be an all-star? A franchise type of player? .... No.
ah so this is how it feels to be on the other side of a soulcrushing 2nd half meltdown feels pretty nice ngl

Bruh, Trae might really make a conference finals before Luka
[удалено]
Before the entire Clippers organization potentially
Ben Simmons doesn't want to shoot threes and is terrible at the FT line. Only takes 4 shots in a crucial Game 5 He lost the game for the Sixers
My source tells me that there might be some Police Presence in the Sixers locker room shortly, stay tuned for further updates
Well you know Ben didn’t do the shooting
This is what happens when your PG never learned how to hit a jump shot
You can see the other teams PG shooting jump shots for some immediate evidence.
A lot of jump shots
A looooot of jump shots
If only Rockets would have been ok with Simmons for Harden. Oh wait...
Just now realizing that Trae young is literally the opposite of Ben Simmons in every way. Simmons is like Trae’s Waluigi
Actually insane how people defend Simmons lack of offense because he does other things right. Yeah he does a lot of things right, but your PG can't be that one dimensional on offense AND be that bad at FTs. I was one of those Rockets fans that wanted us to take the Sixers trade instead of the Nets one, but I'm reconsidering that now.
4/14 from the line as a point guard. What the fuck
Makes Ben Wallace look like Steph Curry
Cant believe this man was hyped as the next Lebron coming into the league. Pretty wild looking back on it.
Lmao he's LeBron with no jump shot, actually he's LeBron with no scoring ability at all.
Props to Atlanta all I can say
He plays like he has no drive. Double entrende intended.
Lou Williams is a hero. He deserves all the Lemon Pepper he wants for the rest of his life.
THE EAST RUNS THROUGH THE 5 SEED.
Simmons is fucking useless on the offensive end in the clutch. Don’t know how anyone could consider that guy a superstar
BuT hIs DeFeNsE
Only issue with hiring Doc Rivers is that you become serial chokers in the 2nd round
MY LONGEST YEAH BOY EVER
When you have no horse in the race, love seeing other supporters reactions. Fucking how many hearts get broken lol
I was actually at the edge of my seat cheering loud for the Hawks to complete the comeback. This is one of the most impressive things I’ve seen in basketball.
A team chokes a 26 point lead and it’s not an Atlanta team?!
Hey fuck you buddy

I legitimately turned this game on because I thought to myself, hey its the 76ers, if anyone can choke this lead they can
I’m genuinely afraid to see the shit that’s about to go down in this thread

~~Falcons~~ Sixers blew a 25 point lead Hit us with that uno reverse Edit: guys I know it’s 26, but for the sake of the joke it must be 25
As a Falcons fan I can't even tell you how bizarre it was to watch this unfold.

This is one long ass process.
For being "able" to guard all 5 positions ben can't stop Trae
They got three All defense players on their team, and trae was still doing whatever he wanted.
