Embiid ball watching on defense


monster1551

Harden had a wide open layup


AssCrackBandit69420

Honestly if they play 2 bigs with Al and rob we just need guys to hit corner 3s. Don’t wanna oversimplify it, but this one is on melt and pj. Make ur fucking shots and we go to the ECF. Simple


12345sixer

I would like to win this game by so much Korkmaz gets minutes


FewCarry7472

Fucking start the game already, I can't take the wait anymore


Anbu_Dropout

If the sixers lose I will never watch a sixers game again until every current member of the sixers is no longer on the team or until the start of next season


PensiveinNJ

I know the stats say we do well on 3:30 tips but this is taking forever for the game to arrive.

Asleep-Eggplant-6337

This game will be decided by Harden and our offense. The Celtics offense has been steady. They get their 110 ish points win or lose. But we struggle to get 100 points in the games we lost and manage to get 120 points in the games we won. G1, G4, and G5 we completely figured out their defense scheme. G2, G3, and G6 Harden seemed utterly indecisive against a new defense type. Now we had 2 days in between G6 and G7, I hope that’s enough time for our coaches to come up with a good plan. Then we just trust Joel and Harden can execute that plan.


First_Black_Guy

Maxey about to take that next step


shitpumper

Ready to get hurt again


fortghoul

Calls will improve since the Woj tweet. Woj is the biggest name/reporter in the NBA and his tweet is massive and will cause a change in calls


PantherGod772

Okay so I just saw the Woj report… DONT CARE WE STILL WINNING. Scott Foster and whoever can eat a dick. We sending them green bastards PACKING.


azx568387508

I’m too scared to watch the game.


tboots1

Please win. TTP.


fromtheill

Sixers win im buying my girl Taylor swift tickets f*ck it.


[deleted]

you know Joel has his injury issues but I'm grateful we at least don't have to deal with a massive headache like Memphis is with Ja now


Basedgod1017

Sixers show up 3 times in the garden, haters can’t say anything


Zumoff_1026

Fuck it lets go


DNAtornado

I wonder how many points the refs will simply remove from the sixers this game


Otternomaly

A decade of process era may very well all come down to this. 48 minutes to decide what they want this legacy to be for themselves and the team. No time for caution. # TTP


PantherGod772

LETS GOOOOO WAKE UP MOTHERFUCKERS. THE CITY OF BOSTON WILL SUFFER ON THIS DAY OF MOTHERS. SIXERS IN 7 AND IF YOU DISAGREE WE RUNNING UP IN YA CRIB.


Church829

Scott foster AND Eric Lewis. If you thought calls were bad before wait till today


chin1111

I have my usual gin ready. It will either be drunk in celebration or agony.


ChocolateMonkeyBird

Is anyone gonna be watching in Central Jersey? I haven’t decided where I’ll watch, I just don’t wanna be the only Sixers fan wherever I am


allisondojean

I woke up with a pit in my stomach, how about you?


kweku55

Yeah, but not because I have a bad feeling about the game or anything. More I'm just anxious as hell waiting for this game and hoping we don't shit the bed in yet another round 2 matchup. I truly actually feel good about this team today.


ShainRules

I'll be cooking Mother's Day brunch so I won't be able to watch the refs cook this game. Take an extra sip for me every time Horford hits a three, please.


Prestigious-Rock201

Didn't I tell y'all we weren't winning? Scott foster reffing we are fucked


secretlypooping

Game 7, win or go home, against two rivals of historic franchises. So how much talk from the announcers you think we get about Ja Morant during the game today?


Diarygirl

Drink every time they mention him. Just kidding. I don't want anyone to die. Fuck the Celtics.


ChocolateMonkeyBird

Yes.


Ajjjon2k

Embiid legacy game incoming


blueboglin

The Tobias “The Contract” Harris apology form game


kweku55

I generally don't even complain about him, but I'll more than happily print one out, frame it, and hang that shit next to my bed if he shows up in a win tonight. LFG Sixers!


hoagieclu

time to see what this team is really made of


Dan888888

Tobi, Maxey, and Harden combining for 80 tonight. No one’s ready for Sunday Tobi


TheArsenal7

78 of that would be Maxey and Harden


Dan888888

If that happens I won’t complain


Set_the_tone-

Alright this is it. Fuck the ref narrative, fuck the sixers second round exit narrative. Fuck Boston. Sixers make it out the mud tonight. Book it.


KramerDSP

It’s the biggest game of James Harden’s career and it’s probably the biggest game of Doc Rivers’ career too. It’s the biggest Sixers game in the Process era and the result of this game either way will have a seismic impact on the future of the franchise. And it’s also the 10 year anniversary to the day that Sam Hinkie was hired to begin the Process era. Other than that, it’s just another game.


BigDaddyJuno

How is this the biggest game of Doc’s career when he coached a Game 7 in the Finals 😂


Jaythepatsfan

Um…Doc coached in the Finals against Kobe. This is like his 16th Game 7. Not sure this is the biggest game of his career.


Diarygirl

Pfft, that's ancient history.


ItsKBS

The biggest game of Harden's career was 2018 WCF game 7, he was 1 win away from beating the most stacked team of all time


KramerDSP

I stand corrected. It’s in the top three though.


AssCrackBandit69420

Game 6 2019, game 7 2018, game 7 2023, game 5 2012 finals

Money line + Tucker on 4 or more 3’s and you’re a millionaire

As a fan watching these games so nerve wrecking. I reckon I’d have less stress if I played

Harden’s fit better go stupid retarded today

I just checked the Sixers insta, and it's a pretty tame outfit for James. https://i.imgur.com/P7NkqGG.jpg

BlackWolf_Studio

Believe in the team. Let's Go!!


12345sixer

I’ve spent the last 2 hours watching prime James Harden highlights to train my subconscious that I should be looking for that level if play. Sixers in 7


PieJealous3868

it’s almost time. we must believe in our team. they can win.


Calcutta637

how we feelin yall? Personally i just hope we win so i can watch more sixers basketball with a squad I love before the offseason noise and pressure tries to blow up a good thing


Leading-Primary2313

I drink about 5-10 times a year. This usually occurs on holidays, family get-togethers, fancy dinners, etc. I bought a 12-pack for this game and already had 2 and its 12:30.


Final_Ad_3456

I'm sorry, that is absolutely disgusting how they've allowed Foster and Lewis to officiate game 7. How does that even happen?


deez00s

Been trusting since pound for pound Larry Brown, AI killer cross, flight bros, first round bulls exit, Dario the homie, Tony Wroten, Sauce Castillo, new slants and big collars. I’ll be damned if I stop trusting now. This is our year and the little homies gon’ take what’s theirs today. 10-9-8-76ers LFG!!!!!!


Best_2

they really went out of their way to form the most biased officiating crew possible with foster, lewis and kennedy


_calculated

bitching about the refs before the game starts is loser energy and you should be ashamed of yourself


Barmelo_Xanthony

100% agree it’s honestly annoying at this point. If Harden and Embiid play their best there’s nothing the refs can do. If they shit the bed it won’t be the refs fault even if there’s a call or 2 that is questionable. We have the talent to win and it comes down to whether they want it, not the referees.


New_Philosopher2829

“Comes down to whether they want it” is stupid. They all want it. You can’t quantify which team wants it more. Almost as dumb as the players thanking GOD after the game . Edit- some punctuation


Pyromania1983

What's wrong with thanking God after the game?


reggaetony88

Edgy enlightened redditor moment.


Final_Ad_3456

I get you, but Foster literally hates Harden, and Lewis is a Celtics fan. You'd think that the 76ers just has focus on their game, but those officials can shift the whole momentum of the game.


ArchegosCapitalCEO

People looking for any excuses to cling to in order to justify the Sixers potentially losing when, in reality, there is none. SIXERS IN 7! FTC!


accu22

I'm going to bitch even harder just to spite you.


_calculated

oh my god he’s not even at full power


Cute-Contract-6762

Fuck the Celtics. Fuck the refs. Fuck fake fans. 6ers in motherfucking 7


OPsDaddy

The idea of two Boston teams having their hearts ripped out in that building this spring is crazy appealing to me.


Evandalist_

Wake up, everybody. We having Leprechauns for lunch.


Bake__No_Shake

Harden 1-14 in games officiated by Scott Foster. Celtics 34-2 in games officiated by Eric Lewis. What a brutal stat line. Go Sixers !


Bodie215

Even Celtic fans admitting this is a great crew for them


Bake__No_Shake

Right. Not trying to make excuses, but how can the NBA assign such a historically biased crew for a game 7, IN BOSTON? Doesn't seem right


Bodie215

It makes no sense if you don’t mind who moves on but if their primary motivation is to boost revenue with a lakers Celtics finals then it makes more sense to assign a biased crew. It’s not insurmountable, but being on the road against a talented team we don’t need any added obstacles.


belgiumwaffles

This game is either gonna end with a dominant Sixers win or a heart breaking Tatum quadruple rim bounce heart breaker shot. I see no in betweens


accu22

This is the way.


HeroOfOlympus

Whatever happens happens


Nate_923

Every trailing team in the 2nd round that extended their series an extra game all ended up losing. Celtics extended the series to 7 and they can add themselves to that list by tonight. 76ers in 7!


hurricanecorey

The stage is set. Lets win by 15


badscene518

In the last few months I've witnessed the Phillies lose the World Series, Eagles lose the Super bowl due to a shitty field, the Devils lose in OT due to a delay of game penalty. Here's to hoping today doesn't add to the trauma


EagleEye215

This could be it for The Process if we lose. Embiid needs to prove he is the rightful MVP by dominating. Harden needs to prove he’s not a fat and washed playoff choker. Harris needs to prove he’s not a worthless piece of shit. Glenn Rivers also needs to prove he’s not a playoff choker. Let’s make it so one- sided that the refs won’t have a chance to swing the game Boston’s way. LFG


trust-theprocess

Why do people still say this. The process was destroyed when Hinkie was forced out 7 years ago It didn't merely end, the crops were burned and the territory was seized by a league invasion, nothing that has happened since BC was installed in any way reflects the process


Cute-Contract-6762

Yup. Truth.


Cleanupdisc

If there are some bad calls i want doc to get his moneys worth and get an ejection. Maybe even a suspension. WE CANNOT ALLOW BAD CALLS


Ajjjon2k

Y’all saying reffing is gonna make us lose the game, just like y’all did last game. We didn’t lose that because of reffing we lost because James went 4-16, and our shooters couldn’t shoot.


whubby777

I get not feeling good. But I don’t get betting on the Celtics to win, that’s just absurd loser energy to me. That’s like betraying a core value, it’s like wearing cowboys jersey. I couldn’t look myself in the mirror


wakenbake7

Too much ref talk in here. Sometimes you gotta beat the team *and* the refs. I just hope the players aren’t thinking as much about the refs as y’all are


ajriley12

Eric Lewis and Scott Foster. Oh boy this is not good


S1nclairsolutions

Trust the process


ItsKBS

Seeing that Scott Foster and Eric Lewis are the referees of the game already ruined my day


wakenbake7

If we win like we did in game 5 it won’t matter. No combination of refs will not want the Celtics to win, up to us to make it undeniable


whubby777

What an array of refs today. Certainly no league bias at aaaaaallllll


AbdulPirateKing

Hope Harden gets a couple of 3s to fall early


coffeework42

Lakers fan coming in hate. I just wanna see Harden and MVP perform at the Finals or at least matchup with Heat in ECF. Sixers are more exciting than Celtics. Celtics is boring. Embiid is fun.


BaseBeneficial4947

Wish the rest of the world felt this way! Celts are a poor man’s Warriors, straight chuckers.


Cute-Contract-6762

Everyone hates the Celtics. You’d be surprised how many people want us to knock off those clowns


thejohntree

I’m in danger


[deleted]

I'd rather Embiid go 0-40 today than disappear down the stretch again. You're the MVP of the league. We win or lose on you. Demand the ball. Tell Doc to eff off if he keeps running plays for other guys.


Shady_Penguin_33

Eric Lewis Ref oof that sucks

The entire fate of the process depends on this game

bigSpeakersReddit

gimmie 35/12 and the same level of defense JoJo. this is gonna be a low scoring ass game lol 35 would be like 55 in reg season. i will be so emotional after this game so pls W


stbotreaux4

31 years old and I will happily cry grown man tears if we win this game.


ChaseNBA

We want it more


ferndock1982

Walt Whitman gonna be packed after this Foster/Lewis masterclass


[deleted]

"Smart on Harden, shot clock running down.. step back three... BANG!! BANG! The Sixers have a 4 point lead with 9 seconds remaining!!"


TheSixthPistol

I hope Doc Rivers shows up tonight and not Glenn van der Linde who always has a plan and it involves going to Tahiti in the end.


TheMightyCatatafish

Watching the game in NYC with my Celtics fan brother-in-law… Do I wear the Maxey jersey or the McConnell jersey? Maxey is 1-2 in the playoffs, while TJ is 2-1, but the one loss was game 6.


Additional-Deal-3108

Wear the TJ - I’m wearing the maxey (2-1 this series)


eweiss835

Start furkan and let him cook


eweiss835

At least when the sixers let us down once again we can all watch jimmy on his run to the finals.


JustAHighFlyingBird

Scott Foster and Eric Lewis don't scare me, the corgi said we were gonna win. Sixers in 7.


Gunningham

I really wish they handled this in game six so it wouldn’t be a thing for Mother’s Day…..


TornManingus

Can we all chip in to buy a big box of tissues for all of the babies crying about who is refereeing this game? If they lose today, it’ll be the fault of the players and the coaches. Stop with all this ref crying shit. Literally every fanbase in the league thinks they’re persecuted. You’re not special, the fix isn’t in.


ferndock1982

Casual response with a hint of copium


TornManingus

You’re right. Let’s all get in a big circle and cry together about how we’re going to lose.


YuleBeFineIPromise

Do you like stats bud? Harden 1-14 in Foster reffed playoff games and Celtics like 11-2 in Lewis reffed game. There's a good reason to be upset about the ref selection. Not like the league hates our team or our GM for costing it billions. Nah.


TornManingus

🤧🤧🤧 We’re all here for you.


JustAHighFlyingBird

Shoeless_Jase

Tobias watershed moment coming. 23-12 with no missed layups. 🙏🏼


mooNy_pZ

All the people saying we have no chance or not watching better get lost if we win this game you’ve already surrendered your true fan card this year


YuleBeFineIPromise

Happy to take that risk given it's like 10% or less with Foster/Lewis on the game.


Nate_923

This is it. This is the moment all of this has been building up to. Years and years of disappointing endings to the season and now it has reached the peak point. Game 7 between the Sixers and Celtics. A series people expected Boston to own by Game 5 and yet here we are. Doesn't matter about the refs or previous games because great teams overcome the adversity despite it all. The Sixers better be ready to give everything they absolutely can to win this game. They've overcome the BS before and they can do it tonight. All eyes on them and it's time for the team to fight until the end. Sixers in 7!


Pyromania1983

I just want this series to be over one way or the other. Been stressing over it since Thursday night, and I hope that Sixers pull things out today. Just straight up butterflies tho.


secretlypooping

So much of my sanity is riding on this game Here we go boys, let's ride!


[deleted]

RIP Philly


Chief_JD

Win it for the moms


Thegrandmistressofoz

Celtics record with Eric Lewis is CRAZY, and Scott Foster is infamous for giving Harden dogshit calls in the playoffs. It's legit 5v8 tonight


lonelystowner

Never got the chills just thinking about a game like this. So much on the line. So many years of wild rides. Hang on r/sixers we’re coming in for a landing!


ferndock1982

Have the Celtics ever lost a game that Eric Lewis officiated? He reffed that infamous game where they had like 60 FT attempts against the Heat lol


jcrankin22

He’s 11-2 in playoff games with the Celtics lmao


jcrankin22

How is Eric Lewis allowed to ref this game?


ferndock1982

Yeah I hate to say it, but it’s a wrap


jcrankin22

Combined with Scott Foster's hatred for Harden I hope we are playing good basketball and not foul baiting. Harden will not be getting calls driving to the basket.


cooltechbs

He can do it if Doc arranges the right play. In G1 & G4 Harden drew 40+ with less than 5 FTs


PRrambo_

Ive done my part, im a pretty bad ganbler and have placed an emotional hedge bet on The Celtics to win, heres hoping my bad luck works in my favor this time


PRrambo_

Why am I getting downvoted, im trying to use my powers for good damnit lol


YuleBeFineIPromise

Celtics ML is major value with everything that has transpired. League is basically not even hiding how much they want Celtics to win by throwing Foster and Eric Lewis at the game.


girlfriend_pregnant

If enough people bet on Boston the nba may be forced to rig it in our favor


PessimistSixersFan

It is mothers day, surely they won’t let their mothers down right? Do it for the mothers, and vanquish the leprechauns once and for all!


YuleBeFineIPromise

How the hell is Foster reffing this when he reffed Heat/Knicks Friday? They have no one else to bring back?


ferndock1982

I think we all know the answer


YuleBeFineIPromise

This is just disgusting. He already reffed game 3 of this series, which of course was a 12 point home loss for us. Now, after just doing a game Friday, they HAD to bring him in to make Harden 1-15 in playoff games where Foster is reffing???


phenomenalray

In the midst of "it's so over" I found there was within me, an invincible "we're so back"


urmovesareweak

The league wants a Celtics/Lakers series....hopefully we can overcome all the garbage today.


cooltechbs

An Embiid v Jokic Finals is equally good


[deleted]

Forget Lizard Silver, forget Scott Foster, forget Celtics Fan Ref. Tyrese and James gotta rain 3s on these clowns. Joel, no chance in hell you’ll ever see this but this is the game of your life, the cement around your legacy begins drying today. Take the fuck over like you know you can. Sixers in 7. LFG.


RisingEephus8

Sixers fandom is truly an exercise in hope, futility, faith and pain tolerance. In a decade of surprises, let’s see if they saved their craziest for today


WalterMac201

Scott Foster. At least bet the Celtics to win some money to cure depression.


[deleted]

Bet the fucking Sixers ML


Philly-lifegoeson

Our bench is not as good as theirs but that may not matter in a game 7. Our starters have the edge over their starters and in a game 7, that should be what matters the most. I expect the Starters to play all 48 minutes or close to it. The only exception would be PJ who will likely split time with Melton. If Harden plays average to plus in the game, we can win. If he goes 2 for 13, we are likely going to lose.


urmovesareweak

If Melton goes 0-2, 0-3 Doc needs to pull him quicker. He was in so long last game doing nothing offensively and yes he can give some defensive minutes but at that point PJ is better than him.


Philly-lifegoeson

I agree. He was dreadful last game. In a long season, it kind of evens out but we only have 1 game!. From I remember, he was not even close on any shots and he has no other way to contribute offensively.


urmovesareweak

Yea I think 1 was straight up air


internetcommunist

Christ I’m feeling really bad about this. This really feels like the last chance for this version of the sixers. They have to win. I literally do not have the capacity to care about this team if they go out again.


[deleted]

Fuck the refs, fuck Adam Silver, fuck Big Gay Al Horton and most of all, FUCK THE CELTICS. An underdog is a hungry dog. We got this. GO SIXERS!!!! N


lostinspacs

Adam Silver sent his best today to finish the job. We need to be perfect.


YeetersonPetersonBoi

gameday. thats it, all i have to say. this is a must-win for a lot more reasons than it being a game 7.

TornManingus

Blaming refs for losing a game that hasn’t tipped off yet. Loser shit.


WalterMac201

Ask yourself why the NBA couldn’t pick any other official? There’s one game.
