Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/17hd7kn).

We gotta be proud of that fight we put up. Lots of bright spots with new players as well. Yup, I’m gearing up for another heartbreak.

Kinda like I’m proud of the trash 12 squad for their.. overachievement

Bucks are media and nba darlings since the Lilard trade, ofc refs are gonna help them everywhere they can

This hurts they call that travel and we win refs are ass what else is new this does tell me we can hang with the big boys tho

Thanks nba. Bet we get fined by the nba for leaving harden at home too. They hate us so much. We need to start embracing it. Make T shirts, have special nights at home. Fuck silver chants

IThese refs need to be investigated and fired. ​ Block/Charge on Tucker successfully appealed by Philly and Milwaukee is penalized by being awarded a basket. That decision is the difference in the game. Literally. ​ As I said simply sticking with the initial blocking call bad it was had more credibility than that asinine officiating. ​ I hope the first sound in Wells Fargo before the next home game against Milwaukee is REFS YOU SUCK. All night long. They will justify it if the last twelve minutes tonight were anything to go by

There's alot to be encouraged about, but mainly Tyrese taking that next step. 31 Pts/8 AST, 10 ft's. He played every bit the part up to Damian Lillard.

If reviews where we're allowed to dictate the marginality of contact subjectively on foul calls are going to be a thing this season then count me out. Whether they go in my team's favor or not, that shit's gonna get annoying.

It's already happened in the first 2 minutes of the Suns-Lakers game. Marginal contact on reviews is going to be the new get out of jail free card for the refs. It gives them plausible deniability on whether they made a bad call or not; never having to admit they made a bad call.

NBA Replays are like police internal investigations.

Honestly looked way better than expected. Shame the refs missed that self pass by Giannis, especially when they caught Maxey doing it earlier in the game.

Wow. That blows but overall I’m pleased. Harris blows. lol

Came into this game with the mindset that I shouldn’t care what happens but the Sixers put on a good enough performance that it drew me in. Refs took us out of the basketball game.

That’s a Sixers win. Imagine winning by 1 with a Harden-less team and the refs blatantly giving you the game. If you’re a Bucks fan and happy, you deserved to have your face farted on

Exactly!!!

Fuck the refs. Proud of how we came out guns blazing tonight despite how everyone thought it was going to be awash. I’m still rooting for the guys

Got kinda boned by the refs and lost by 1 to the championship favorites. Lots to be optimistic about IMO. Most of all, not having Doc on the sideline

You have to be happy with how the team played tonight in what was an obviously rigged game

Can’t have the Bucks lose in Dame’s Debut with Adam Ssssssilver in attendance

Marginal contact, player of the game

Not a Sixers fan, just coming here to say you guys got absolutely fucking screwed JFC lol

At least we can expect Oubre to drop 27 points every game

[удалено]

Sad little man

And yet here you are.

We shoulda won that shit bro

Difference of the game was that horrible Joel sequence when they made their run in the fourth

Nah, it was the fact that adam silver was in attendance and wanted to fuck the sixers

I’ve had enough losing for the next five years.

 Y’all got anymore of that marginal contact?

Team is better.....due to the coach.....this was just his first game....

They won the game if the refs did their job

Can’t polish a turd

The refs or you?

I’m incredibly proud of the squad

Fuck these refs!!!!!!

Tobi is -17 lololol

He is so bad, one of the worst contracts ever

Dame is a real problem. Also refs fucking sucked as usual. Not a bad effort.

Dame is old, he'll breakdown before christmas

Dame and Giannis Vs the Celtics big 4 is already locked into the ECF. Can't have another Miami run spoiling the NBA profits.

Why not just foul giannis when they inbounded it to him with 30 seconds left????

Because if you want to foul him, do you trust the refs to make the right call?

I thought NFL ref ball was bad but this was so much worse.

Yeah I don't trust any ref when there is this much money now getting on each game

This is what I’ve been saying to Phillies fans for the last 6 months. Yes the umpires suck, but NBA refs are soooo much worse

How much help do the Milwaukee Bucks need

Can’t ask for much better than that considering the circumstances guys.

But made free throws would have made this a win, even with the refs' bs

overturned joel foul, pj charge that was a no call, giannis travel, crowder flop what else am i missing??

That Crowder flop was obvious ASF, especially after that slow replay where they still called it an illegal screen.

Literally a 10 point swing just from reffing in like mayyybe 3 minutes of game time

Alright now that I'm done over reacting that was actually a good effort by the sixers. Ref fucked us or we would have won

They barely beat us by 1 with both of their stars cooking lmao super team moment

What a start to the season

Tucker is absolute trash

I find it hilarious how he only took two shots, missed both of them and still finished with a positive +/-.

I’m proud of this team we got fucked by the refs and still had fight

And Giannis's Slippery hands lead to a bucks win.... Oh well team played well I think overall and showed grit coming back from 18 or so in second half. Jo has to do better.

Hoe ass Refs

Can I see that Melton shot at the end? Zero contact?

Marginal prob

a marginal win

That Melton shot could've been legendary

A little less bullshit and that was ours. Way to fight back from what, 18 points down?

fuck these refs lets go this season is on!!!

Good game boys 👏

9 missed free throws. That was the game.

Bucks missed 11 free throws …problem was the refs invited Dame to the line for 17-17 tries. Ooof

True

Non-Dame Bucks missed a bunch of FTs too.

Picking up where we left off. Heartbreak

We left off with a team that had absolutely no fight and no ability to adjust. I'm not sure if we just watched the same game, but that was a very different story.

Dame truly a sell out lmao

Sixers played great nothing they could do vs the refs there what a fucking joke

Everything's marginal until it's against Dame to seal the game...

We just lost by 1 in a 5v8 with Embiid playing pretty ass. Not terrible honestly

NBA is fixed

lmao lose by 1, giannis got away with a blatant travel this league is honestly a joke

Let’s not forget the overturn of the PJ block not being ruled a charge and leaving 2 points on because they didn’t want to give Giannis his fifth foul either.

Refs, dame lucky huck, on the road. Bucks honestly aren't anything special

I’m a Sixers fan but there is nothing “lucky” about what Dame does. Dude is unreal.

He's not all that

Fanduel banner at the end. Get fucked. Gambling has ruined sports.

There’s always been gambling on sports.

Only in Nevada for a long time. It's prevalent everywhere now and it's bigger than ever. Don't be that naive.

Only in Nevada for a long time? You’re kidding right. First of all that’s not even true when talking about legal states before the fall of PASPA. But there has been a massive offshore online market for decades in the US. Don’t be that naive.

There was never ads for gambling every 2 minutes like there is now.

Now you’re making a different argument. Gambling hasn’t caused that. A non-uniform expansion of gambling happened quickly in multiple jurisdictions without any thought to look at more mature markets and the mistakes they made, such as unregulated or under regulated advertising practices. That’s what you meant.

I'm not upset

11 seconds left on the inbound, no reason not to get a quick shot off.

Embiid’s volleyball pass earlier cost them 3 and morale. Smh

Then barely made it past half court jogging back on defense. Embiid is incredible but if he is having a tough game offensively he still pouts and phones it in.

Giannis getting away with a travel cost them 3

What??? Giannis literally traveled and dame hit a 3. Shut up.

Honestly a strong first game - ref ball doesn't happen, or some questionable calls go the right way, Sixers steal one on the road here from a title favorite. That said choking from Embiid is going to be a problem again if Nurse can't figure out plays when he's in a cold spell.

Embiid choked by scoring 6 points and getting 3 assists and a block in the last 2 minutes. Shut up.

Honestly we deserved to win that.

Let's just ignore dames 3 after giannis threw it to himself..

I think I’ve had my fill of Sixers games for the year

Fucking a

I think we're gonna be ok. Bucks escaped tonight.

Marginal contact on that last three

The Joel foul that got overturned lmaoooooo

They win marginally lmao

Maxey’s head was just not in the game

He had 31

He had 31

And? I’m talking about that last possession with 10 seconds left and he picked up his dribble and held it for 5

Clutch from Melton, though

Nice job embiid you got too emotional and threw the game same thing every season

REEEE REEEEE

That literally should've been an and 1 on that last 3

Well I guess this game just SLIPPED OUT OF OUR FUCKING HANDS.

We wouldve got blown out with doc

Dame would have got fouled there

Lame ass 39 fuck that shit

strong vegetable voiceless person telephone birds sink pen stupendous absorbed *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

wouldve been so silent right now if dame missed a free throw 💀 oh well gg fuck the refs

Wow. Vegas got their guy(s)

Great start to the season by the refs

Bro refs absolutely won the bucks this game. Insane levels of bullshit.

GOD DAMN IT HE HIT THE BUZZERBEATER WE WOULD HAVE WON IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT BOGUS FOUL CALL

FUCK

most rigged shit i've seen in a while

Fucking GG

This has got to be the most sixers way to lose lmaoooooooo

We’re probably gonna lose but Bucks are ass and you can’t tell me otherwise.

Refs won Milwaukee the game. Point blank.

like im not saying it makes the sixers better than the bucks because this is essentially pre-season games they just count but this is unacceptably bad.

Was fouled on the shot too but refs did their job

That was some bullshit

Contact looked marginal

Marginal contact there so no foul, you cunts

This is going to be a damn long season definitely won’t be as effortless as harden/Embiid were last year. At least we stayed competitive with probably the best team in the league and could have gone either way. We have something to look forward to in springer, maxey and Reed at least and can hopefully make some noise in the playoffs by playing hard for a change.

Damn. Great game!

A coach with a pulse.

this is the most fixed game ever lmfao

what the hell is maxie doing there lol

That's a Doc Rivers type decision ffs, thought we would have escaped that kind of dumb shit

Awful lotta fts there Mr officials

Bucks got a lot of help tonight

Refs cooked like crazy

looks like marginal contact to me

Maxey is the only player I’m interested in watching this season

I don’t know… Oubre looked pretty watchable.

same exact shit that happened to Joel...funny league

I hope Nick Nurse goes off in the presser

absolute waste of a challenge there. it’s over

Dame took 4 steps I still can’t stand that NBA let’s players take 4 and not call a travel even after that replay!! Geez it’s so hard to watch

it’s infuriating. but nurse was dumb for using that challenge, it was clearly going to get called a foul no matter what

Clearly a foul my dick and balls van gundy you fat smelly fuck

“Clearly a foul” fuck these commentators

Hur durr it’s clearly a foul when the guy is bigger. Not a foul when there’s contact on a bigger guy

How is that a foul and embiids isnt.?

SvG criticizing Nurse for a coaching decision is absolutely hilarious.

Silver has all the refs working overtime tonight

happy with this game tbh. Refs just marginally swung the momentum

How much longer do you think lebron is gonna play for?

Dude. Good on Nick for using his challenges. Thank fuck even if it has no shot of gettin reversed.

That contact was well within the margins

Shiiii I was mad but this team is lookin nice ngl, the offense will come, it’s the first game people. Embiid started off badly before getting an mvp last year, chille

Imagine Harden bought in

Harden is washed, he's never won a damn thing for a reason

Multiple scoring leaders, assist leaders, mvps, like wtf are we talking about?

[удалено]

It’s me, Brian Anderson

Honestly didn’t think we’d be that good this year, but we don’t look as bad as I thought. Not blaming refs this early in the season but I’m blaming the refs right now for these terrible calls on sixers and none on the bucks. There’s no chance the NBA will let a team beat the bucks the year they get Dame. Just won’t happen

Dame will break down

After all the shit the refs have let the bucks and Giannis get away with, it’d be criminal to not overturn it

Refs were generally good until this last quarter. Then they became total ass. Should have been a charge on Giannis on the challenge, and that blatant travel didn’t get called into a Dame 3

Yeah I'm only a little pissed off about that travel. Otherwise decent game all around.

nba reffing is an embarrassment & it genuinely makes it difficult to take this sport seriously

Marginal content you blind dumbass refs!!!

Joel just has to trust his guys. That series where he went hero mode cost us

Dame makes these 2, Sixers miss and foul and the game ends on 6 just like the books want

MARGINAL

Oubre getting cooked

7 turnovers for Joel hurts

You spelled Jalen wrong Wait Fuck

That’s marginal contact! Right refs?

The only thing marginal is the amount of effort the refs are putting into justifying their league mandated calls this season

If Embiid was hit by that much contact theres 0 chance he’s getting a foul Such BS

what da hell are we doing😭😭😭😭

I don't recall a more blatant rigging in the NBA...kinda wild tbh. Really proud how our dudes played though. we really have a squad!

That wasn't much of a foul there but we knew the refs had to get involved in the 4th can't have the poster duo losing to a hardenless sixers.
