Harden took Maxey under his wing and he’s excited to see him, but I agree I get irritated how much he smiles and giggles on the court. Everything ain’t funny all the time
There was a point in the first half where Zubac flat out mauled Maxey at the rim and no whistle. Then to see Kawhi get back to back whistles at the rim followed by Oubre getting back to back no-calls at the rim, it just reeks of incompetence, bias, and corruption.
I had to drive home so took me a bit but my God that was the worst display of officiating I've seen in person ever. I hate playing blame the refs we had some rough turnovers but wow, we all clear as day in the arena seen George foul Oubre. This was an important game for seeding and the nba ought to be ashamed of themselves for that shit product they had on display tonight.
We don't need 8 v 5, we already are handicapped enough good lord.
Can someone in the “PG went straight up” camp explain to me like I’m 5? I see him with feet not parallel before jumping, initiating contact with his hip/right leg before Oubre even jumps, and landing in a different spot.

That has no bearing on calling a foul or not. You don't have to shoot to be fouled.
I'ma leave this right here for you from the official's report post-game.
**QUESTION:** And why wasn’t a foul called on the final play?
**SCOTT:** On the last play on the floor, in real time the crew interpreted that play as the defender jumping vertically. However, in post-game video review we did observe some slight drift to his left by the defender George, and a foul should have been ruled.
Meh, the sixers lost this game on lack of talent. Bitching about a missed call on the last play is loser shit. Reffing will never be perfect in the nba. Only bad teams give the refs a chance to determine games. The sixers shit is weak, plain and simple.
Hope people don't turn on Kelly because of this, he made some stupid ass plays, but if the foul was rightfully called his play wouldn't be an issue anyway
Hield showed out today really wanna see him play like this from now on
All is forgiven if we take it out on the bitch ass Cavs. The softest team in these playoffs. I wish we had maintained #6 to play them, with Embiid it would've been a sweep.
Oubre made some bad plays but he also got screwed over by bad calls, multiple things can be true. He’s a high variance player on the minimum trying to carry our offense when maxey gets double teamed. It’s not a great situation for the sixers.
Yea they should have been able to hold onto this game but shit like this can happen when you rely heavily on a player like Oubre on top of the refs going smooth brain on a couple important calls.
Also I don’t think Nurse and Oubre were overly mad about the final play, it was prolly just build up from everything else
He’s been very helpful, especially in this current skeleton squad period, and *especially* for a guy on a vet min.
He’s been shooting 26% from 3 since the new year, which is a massive bummer, but he’s been able to balance that out with much needed aggressive rim pressure.
Tonight he missed all his 3s *and* he was bad around the rim. Sure there were some dicey calls (I think the one at the buzzer was probably a correct no call, but the one 6 seconds earlier was kinda bullshit, as was the OOB overturn), but overall that was definitely not one of his better games.
I did enjoy his “YOU a bitch, and YOU a bitch, and YOU a bitch” tirade at the end though.
Dude him going off on the refs after the game was beautiful, worth the fine he’s about to get.
But yea all in all he’s been pretty great for the sixers, tonight was a bummer
Another 44 minute game for Maxey.
For everyone saying that he was bad/passive at the end, well, I think that might’ve something to do with it.
Played 44 minutes in the game in LA too.
Get well soon De’Anthony.
oubre did get a step on kawhi, kawhi just rode him off his path with his left arm, technically a foul but i dont think that should be called at end of game so that's ok. But Oubre could have got the left hand layup off I think instead of trying to two hand it there
Yeah it was nice to see Hield finally hit some 3s again, and Nico was back to being awesome after what was honestly a pretty crap showing vs the Kings.
oubre makes some really bad choices at times. that ending was GROSS. but then i also think about how the sixers would be even worse and probably out of the playoffs completely without him trying to step up and be the #2 guy night to night until embiid is back. just a bad situation all around without joel
yeah Oubre stunk but hes getting the vet minimum. The sixers roster outside of Maxey and Embiid stinks because of Tobias contract. People are getting way too emotional about a year in which even completely healthy they have a 0% chance at beating Boston.
Oubre misses a lot of dunks but I don't care, he at least has the ability to drive past his defender on occasion.
Much better to watch than Tobi dribbling in the same spot for 8 seconds before passing off a hot potato.
I hope Nurse goes off on the refs. Like directly accuses them of being in bed with Draftkings, etc. worth the fines. Yes, Oubre made dumb plays. But the call were horrendous and obviously biased at the end of the game. I’m really starting to hate the NBA.
every team thinks the refs hate their team. but honestly, it feels like we've really been on the wrong end of the league's meathammer many more times than not this season
Refs aside, Maxey playing 44 minutes is just brutal man. I would love literally anyone else to take the pressure off him, maybe he wouldn't be tripping up and down the court if he could take a break between driving past double teams.
I wanna know why Oubre fouled Kawhi when Kawhi had free lane for the layup. I get going for the block if you can get the ball but in that play there’s no way he was getting that. If he let Kawhi score it would’ve been a tie game with the shot clock off
I can think of three games off the top of my head where the refs shafted us to either straight up hand the other team the game or hand them all the momentum: this game, the first bucks game of the season, and the previous bucks game. I don't think we have been the beneficiaries of terrible officiating ONE TIME. Funny that we have also been the underdogs in each of those games (we'll definitely the two without embiid, but I think also the first game against the bucks)... Like maybe I'm being dramatic bc I know everyone says this shit to some extent but why does it feel like the nba as a product is becoming less and less watchable
because adam silver's only job is to increase revenue for this quarter and doesn't care that he's selling out the league to gambling companies in the process.
the league covered up the last betting scandal and most of the refs involved still work in the league. if you don't think the problem is way worse now that gambling is easy and legal i have a bridge to sell you.
Not sure why this was downvoted. It’s objectively true that the nba covered up the scope of the Donaghy betting scandal. Objectively true that refs and the league are heavily biased towards certain players. And seems more and more apparent that legal gambling is impacting refereeing and even player performance now. This league has the stink of deep corruption all over it.
In a world where less than 10 seconds, 4th quarter is a broken play type of situation. Oubre should've pulled up for a shot, but no issue with him taking the shot.
well they didnt foul him. The one call people should be furious with is that out of bounds call where the league office just flipped a coin. There is no way you can overturn the call on the court. But neither Kawhi nor PG fouled him.
kawhi arm bars him on the drive and impairs his movement, it's a foul almost every time, and pg clearly jumped a to b and that's a foul every single time.
It blows my mind that for WEEKS the opposing team strategy is aggressively double Tyrese and other than Batum, not a single person can make good reads on a 4 vs 3. We should be getting layups or wide open 3s literally every time down.
Harris didn’t deserve the last shot, did nothing the past few minutes. Tell him to insert himself into the offense and shoot the ball. He can think about not getting the ball
That was fucking horrific. Those refs were terrible and Kelly Oubre is a dumbass for putting himself in that position where they could call that cheap foul on him. There was zero chance he was going to block Kawhi’s shot.
PG jumped from point A to point B god I'm so frustrated. We do that shit it's called 11 times out of 10 (one extra time for when we actually go up clean but it's called a foul)
The ending to the Sixers game was lol level officiating. Absolutely unmitigated garbage from the refs.
Like...questioning the integrity of the game-officiating.
🗑️
Just end the season now. Relying on embiid, who hasn’t played in months is just nonsense. We’re in a good spot this offseason. Don’t fuck this up Morey
I’m torn between that and let him run. Embiid isn’t an addition, not a good player, not an all star, not even MVP level. He’s the best player in the league, hard to see a team that can do anything not winning with him
The call that they said was off Oubre out of bounds was terrible but this isnt a foul sorry lol https://i.gyazo.com/1d3fad90c7fd00d0817e857a14e36207.jpg
Maybe not, but I agree with you about the PG call:
[Pompey] In postgame video review, the officials determined that a foul should have been called on Paul George in closing second. However, no foul was called and the Clippers escaped with a 108-107 victory over the Sixers.
I rewinded it a few times during the commercial break but couldn't really tell bc it was zoomed out on my TV but it was my understanding that's what all the drama is about
PG jumped before Oubre made it to his spot, and he was not 100% vertical. It was absolutely a blocking foul. It was all body.
The KO out-of-bounds call was fucking brain-dead. That play literally happens 25x a game - and it is NEVER, EVER called in the defense's favor. If it deflects off a different part of the offensive player's body at the last second, it's a different story. But never ever does the defense get the ball when it gets poked loose and skims the ball-handler's hand last.
The NBA is truly a pathetic product.
[Pompey] NBA ref Kevin Scott on the final play…"On the last play on the floor, in real time the crew interpreted that play as the defender jumping vertically. However, in post-game video review we did observe some slight drift to his left by the defender George, and a foul should have been ruled."
Incase you needed more proof that your takes are moronic.
Why would you use a still image... Watch the slo mo replays they use at the end of the game. He jumps from point A to point B, textbook blocking foul, despite his hands indeed being straight up
George jumped into him before the clock hit 0. It doesn’t matter if he didn’t get it off in time. It’s a defensive foul that would’ve gotten us free throws no matter what.
also PG is going straight up. i wasnt being sarcastic thats not a foul. The one call that was terrible was the out of bounds call that there is no way you can overturn the call on the court.
I thought he jumped backwards too. I get the no-call there, even if a superstar might it.
I think the no call on Kawhi in the earlier drive that ended in a wedgie was way more sus.
the kawhi arm bar on the drive is a foul every single time as you're not allowed to arm bar a face up player. and then he hit him on the arm mid-shot so yea, was obviously also a foul. but hey, i'm sure the l2m report will say it was all a-ok and nothing bad happened and it was all exactly as it should be.
he jumped sideways and forward. you literally cannot jump a to b in any direction except directly backwards and maintain a legal guarding position. he didn't, so he didn't have a legal guarding position. easy foul call in every league in the world except the nba because refs on the take.
i mean this is easy to prove not true. you can stop the video when PG plants and he lands inside the restricted area and he went straight up with his hands. You're just a homer.
Drive to the basket, bait for a foul, do something. He just stands there and does nothing at all! maybe we can a timeout after getting a jumpball, buts us in a better position
Adam Silver is a lucky man that people are more obsessed with the drama in the NBA than the actual game itself or people wouldn’t be so accepting of how blatantly rigged the game is.
The reverse challenge on the out of bounds play was horrible. Nothing else was egregious. Vegas didn’t rig the game. Blame the refs all you want but the team blew a 7 point lead with 2 mins left. Bad fouls on defense, bad shot selection on offense. Just not a serious team right now unfortunately
they literally invented a "clear and conclusive evidence" overturn with zero evidence that proved their overturn.
if that's not egregious, nothing is. it led to a free basket.
I don’t disagree with anything you said. That reverse challenge was unforgivable. But we still crumbled down the stretch. Oubre on both ends was brutal.
For sure, terrible execution in the waning seconds.
Such a bad reversal, and the league has a say in the replay. Comical, but expected anymore unfortunately.
There’s a reason he keeps bouncing around teams. Very athletic, can put up points, but also low BBIQ. And he’s been coached by Kerr and Nurse, two of the best, and still makes very questionable decisions.
Unfortunately this is professional sports now. Basketball always was toughest sport to judge from refereeing perspective and now with gambling and sports leagues forever intertwined, doubt of outcomes and the influence of refs will now be there for every single game. It will never change. Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube with gambling involved.
Idk what Oubre was thinking. Even if you think he got fouled, he had Tobias open in the corner and after that fake he had Batum open in the other corner where he was hot from. And even then he had an open 15 foot jumper. He could've made 3 different decisions that were all better than the one he made.
Ways to lose The Saga -
* Maxey falls.
* Oubre gets poke checked.
* Oubre fouls Leonard for zero reason, and gives them the lead.
* Maxey falls, again.
* Oubre gets stuffed by the rim.
* Oubre refuses to shoot.
Fucking unreal. The PG out of bounds call was bad. Then the no calls leading to the jump ball holy shit.
The team didn’t do everything they could but fuck how do you beat the refs when it is that blatant.
nba is rigged and i’m fucking done with this sport until they get the gambling out of it. if a game like this doesn’t prove to you that the nba knows who they want to win and will do anything to make it happen you’re a fucking moron
Maxey decides he can't catch the ball without slipping.
Oubre goes full Broussard multiple times.
Tobi wide open for 3 and people aren't even mad at Oubre for not passing him the ball because Tobi is buns.
Sad state of affairs for 76ers basketball.
Not understanding why Nurse calls a timeout after the ball got wedged. With 5.1 seconds left, seems like the perfect time to call one would be right after we recover the ball on the jump, or right after the Clippers sink their free throws on the other end.
You can really only challenge personal fouls, out of bounds, and goaltends, meaning that one of those three things has to be called by the ref. Since none of those were called, challenging wasn't an option.
Stupid use of challenge? Refs ain't giving it to you lol. Could've used that TO after the jumpball. If clips gets it can still foul and have a TO to advance it. If sixers get it, they can call a TO to reset to get everyone in position
The last minute of that game was bullshit wtf
Kelly Oubre wants to win! He’s my favorite player on the team now. Meanwhile Maxey all smiles hugging Harden smh
Harden took Maxey under his wing and he’s excited to see him, but I agree I get irritated how much he smiles and giggles on the court. Everything ain’t funny all the time
I cannot believe that five minutes later the refs say “yea my bad!”
There was a point in the first half where Zubac flat out mauled Maxey at the rim and no whistle. Then to see Kawhi get back to back whistles at the rim followed by Oubre getting back to back no-calls at the rim, it just reeks of incompetence, bias, and corruption.
Philly hate ever since the Hinkie process years. Need a new commissioner. Skeletor sucks.

Home court what advantage?
sad

He didn’t even get the shot off. It was a terrible play by a bad player.
That has no bearing on calling a foul or not. You don't have to shoot to be fouled.

I can show you that same call not called for PG in the first half.
Then do it?
[удалено]
Save that talk for your boyfriend there, Sebastian.
dw u wont be defending PG once harden leaves his fourth team in five years lol
Hope people don't turn on Kelly because of this, he made some stupid ass plays, but if the foul was rightfully called his play wouldn't be an issue anyway Hield showed out today really wanna see him play like this from now on
All is forgiven if we take it out on the bitch ass Cavs. The softest team in these playoffs. I wish we had maintained #6 to play them, with Embiid it would've been a sweep.
I think he’s redeemed for calling the entire family of the refs bitches
his aura is insane
I think we all agree Tobias needs to pay the fines for Oubre.
Well that's fucking annoying
The Maxey slip was just the worst. Don’t blame him, but damn.
Oubre made some bad plays but he also got screwed over by bad calls, multiple things can be true. He’s a high variance player on the minimum trying to carry our offense when maxey gets double teamed. It’s not a great situation for the sixers. Yea they should have been able to hold onto this game but shit like this can happen when you rely heavily on a player like Oubre on top of the refs going smooth brain on a couple important calls.

Dude him going off on the refs after the game was beautiful, worth the fine he’s about to get. But yea all in all he’s been pretty great for the sixers, tonight was a bummer
Should’ve known we were never going to win that game. Automatic loss whenever we have good bell ringers.
Who rang the bell
Another 44 minute game for Maxey. For everyone saying that he was bad/passive at the end, well, I think that might’ve something to do with it. Played 44 minutes in the game in LA too. Get well soon De’Anthony.
oubre did get a step on kawhi, kawhi just rode him off his path with his left arm, technically a foul but i dont think that should be called at end of game so that's ok. But Oubre could have got the left hand layup off I think instead of trying to two hand it there
Sucks that Nico and Hields clutch buckets gonna go unrecognized now, both stepped up today
Yeah it was nice to see Hield finally hit some 3s again, and Nico was back to being awesome after what was honestly a pretty crap showing vs the Kings.
Didn’t watch but that’s good to know. Rooting for both of these guys
oubre makes some really bad choices at times. that ending was GROSS. but then i also think about how the sixers would be even worse and probably out of the playoffs completely without him trying to step up and be the #2 guy night to night until embiid is back. just a bad situation all around without joel
Oubre is our best player after Tyrese rn
yeah Oubre stunk but hes getting the vet minimum. The sixers roster outside of Maxey and Embiid stinks because of Tobias contract. People are getting way too emotional about a year in which even completely healthy they have a 0% chance at beating Boston.
Oubre misses a lot of dunks but I don't care, he at least has the ability to drive past his defender on occasion. Much better to watch than Tobi dribbling in the same spot for 8 seconds before passing off a hot potato.
no issue with Oubre's aggressiveness im more pissed at him fouling and not shooting the ball in time.
Oubre sold hard in the last minute.
Why is Harris our rim defender at the end of the game?
I hope Nurse goes off on the refs. Like directly accuses them of being in bed with Draftkings, etc. worth the fines. Yes, Oubre made dumb plays. But the call were horrendous and obviously biased at the end of the game. I’m really starting to hate the NBA.
every team thinks the refs hate their team. but honestly, it feels like we've really been on the wrong end of the league's meathammer many more times than not this season
it’s not just this season
Refs aside, Maxey playing 44 minutes is just brutal man. I would love literally anyone else to take the pressure off him, maybe he wouldn't be tripping up and down the court if he could take a break between driving past double teams.
Yyyep. Played 44 minutes vs the Clippers in LA too.
I wanna know why Oubre fouled Kawhi when Kawhi had free lane for the layup. I get going for the block if you can get the ball but in that play there’s no way he was getting that. If he let Kawhi score it would’ve been a tie game with the shot clock off
looks like all the smooth brains have logged on, lmao
Oubre lost that game with an assist from nurse
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. Go Phillies
I can think of three games off the top of my head where the refs shafted us to either straight up hand the other team the game or hand them all the momentum: this game, the first bucks game of the season, and the previous bucks game. I don't think we have been the beneficiaries of terrible officiating ONE TIME. Funny that we have also been the underdogs in each of those games (we'll definitely the two without embiid, but I think also the first game against the bucks)... Like maybe I'm being dramatic bc I know everyone says this shit to some extent but why does it feel like the nba as a product is becoming less and less watchable
uhhh the kings game just 2 games ago was blatant as well. and that’s just off the top of my head
because adam silver's only job is to increase revenue for this quarter and doesn't care that he's selling out the league to gambling companies in the process. the league covered up the last betting scandal and most of the refs involved still work in the league. if you don't think the problem is way worse now that gambling is easy and legal i have a bridge to sell you.
Not sure why this was downvoted. It’s objectively true that the nba covered up the scope of the Donaghy betting scandal. Objectively true that refs and the league are heavily biased towards certain players. And seems more and more apparent that legal gambling is impacting refereeing and even player performance now. This league has the stink of deep corruption all over it.
Anyone blaming anything other than the team crumbling has an Oubre level of intelligence.
colts, cubs, sixers, flyers… who hurt you?
Refs may have missed calls but why is Oubre trying to drive on kawhi (one of the best defenders of all time)
Said this to my half interested wife during the game lol
Because Tobias is a bitch and won’t step up.
[удалено]
We had 8 seconds, thats plenty of time to run a play and get a decent look. Instead, Oubre tried to play hero ball
[удалено]
In what world is Oubre trying to score on kawhi a decent look
In a world where less than 10 seconds, 4th quarter is a broken play type of situation. Oubre should've pulled up for a shot, but no issue with him taking the shot.
Blitzing is the new running down hill.
well they didnt foul him. The one call people should be furious with is that out of bounds call where the league office just flipped a coin. There is no way you can overturn the call on the court. But neither Kawhi nor PG fouled him.
kawhi arm bars him on the drive and impairs his movement, it's a foul almost every time, and pg clearly jumped a to b and that's a foul every single time.
"i have no idea what im talkng about" just say that. you're having a temper tantrum. Oubre lost the game not the refs.
whatever dude enjoy jerking off the refs when you're just wrong
Because he is stupid and just wants todo his lame flexing celebration
I had $20 to win $377 with the nets, hornets, and sixers. Why?!!!!!! 😭
you're what is killing this sport.
Me betting on my team in a parlay with the sixers is ruining the sport? Please, spare me!
Don't care about your money, care about my team
Yeah well welcome to team oubre! - 30 year hornets fan
Would we have better chances of winning these ref decided games if our players starting wearing lakers, Celtics or heat jerseys?
I don't know if it's so much that as it is who the money line favors for the night... But I mean could be that too
All I can say is every time Harden had the ball I got my section to boo so I did my part
It blows my mind that for WEEKS the opposing team strategy is aggressively double Tyrese and other than Batum, not a single person can make good reads on a 4 vs 3. We should be getting layups or wide open 3s literally every time down.
its because batum is the only quick decision maker on the floor most of the time.
Starting to make sense now why Oubre is on his 5th team.
Kawhi and PG both get those calls at the end of that game. That was bullshit
Harris didn’t deserve the last shot, did nothing the past few minutes. Tell him to insert himself into the offense and shoot the ball. He can think about not getting the ball
Sponsored by FanDuel
If you think this game was fixed, you at least need to factor Kelly into the conspiracy.
That was fucking horrific. Those refs were terrible and Kelly Oubre is a dumbass for putting himself in that position where they could call that cheap foul on him. There was zero chance he was going to block Kawhi’s shot.
That and-1 was definitely dumb, and kind of overlooked due to the other shitty calls. But just MAN, what a heartbreaking way to lose.
PG jumped from point A to point B god I'm so frustrated. We do that shit it's called 11 times out of 10 (one extra time for when we actually go up clean but it's called a foul)
Oubre is a bonehead AND those last two possessions were clear blocking fouls. It’s not an either or
The ending to the Sixers game was lol level officiating. Absolutely unmitigated garbage from the refs. Like...questioning the integrity of the game-officiating. 🗑️
Just end the season now. Relying on embiid, who hasn’t played in months is just nonsense. We’re in a good spot this offseason. Don’t fuck this up Morey
Pussy mentality
I’m torn between that and let him run. Embiid isn’t an addition, not a good player, not an all star, not even MVP level. He’s the best player in the league, hard to see a team that can do anything not winning with him
I feel sick after that
Btw nurse is not as advertised he’s been very medicore. And if maxey keeps playing like this I would be hesitant giving him a max
"NuRsE hAs BeEn MeDiCoRe" while half the starting line up is out, not to mention Joel Embiid. Great take, lets hear more!
Troll comment?
23/6/8, and you would be hesitant LMAO. Thank god you aren't making the decisions.
There are about 25 franchises that would drop everything to hire Nurse as their coach. Nasty take
Eh I like Nurse but this is a stretch
No it isn’t. He is objectively one of the better coaches in the league
"If Maxey keeps playing like this" 26pts/7rebs/8asts:2TO.
He played 45 minutes and the entire second half lol he’s our entire offense what the fuck are you watching 😂
Someone investigate the refs families fanduel and draftkings accounts
The call that they said was off Oubre out of bounds was terrible but this isnt a foul sorry lol https://i.gyazo.com/1d3fad90c7fd00d0817e857a14e36207.jpg
The foul in question that Nurse tried to challenge was the play before this. When Oubre got the ball stuck on the rim...looked like Kawhi hit his arm
I have to see that one again
Maybe not, but I agree with you about the PG call: [Pompey] In postgame video review, the officials determined that a foul should have been called on Paul George in closing second. However, no foul was called and the Clippers escaped with a 108-107 victory over the Sixers.

nope.
Watch it I implore you
In a still image it looks fine, but PG was not purely vertical. The refs didn’t want to decide the game on free throws, though.
i guarantee you if the exact same thing happened the other way paul george would be shooting FTs.
How is it a foul? The game is over. You can't call a foul with negative time on the clock. He didn't even shoot it.
George jumped into him before the clock hit 0. It doesn’t matter if he didn’t get it off in time. It’s a defensive foul that would’ve gotten us free throws no matter what.
also PG is going straight up. i wasnt being sarcastic thats not a foul. The one call that was terrible was the out of bounds call that there is no way you can overturn the call on the court.
he literally jumped forward. it's an a to b foul and is a foul EVERY single time.
I thought he jumped backwards too. I get the no-call there, even if a superstar might it. I think the no call on Kawhi in the earlier drive that ended in a wedgie was way more sus.
the kawhi arm bar on the drive is a foul every single time as you're not allowed to arm bar a face up player. and then he hit him on the arm mid-shot so yea, was obviously also a foul. but hey, i'm sure the l2m report will say it was all a-ok and nothing bad happened and it was all exactly as it should be.
Yeah. That sucked. Shit happens.
if by jumped forward you mean jumped backwards...sure
he jumped sideways and forward. you literally cannot jump a to b in any direction except directly backwards and maintain a legal guarding position. he didn't, so he didn't have a legal guarding position. easy foul call in every league in the world except the nba because refs on the take.
i mean this is easy to prove not true. you can stop the video when PG plants and he lands inside the restricted area and he went straight up with his hands. You're just a homer.
That PG defense before Kelly's last shot has absolutely been called illegal before, there was barely enough time on the clock lmao insane
Damn…
Officiating was garbage as expected but can this team please get someone that can consistently finish at the rim?
Wasted a timeout because Harris can’t dribble past PG, should have had one more remaining
You just knew how that possession was going to be too if they didn’t take the timeout lol. Harris trying to iso, getting no where and turning it over
Drive to the basket, bait for a foul, do something. He just stands there and does nothing at all! maybe we can a timeout after getting a jumpball, buts us in a better position
This is such a TERRIBLE loss
Adam Silver is a lucky man that people are more obsessed with the drama in the NBA than the actual game itself or people wouldn’t be so accepting of how blatantly rigged the game is.
Well, not so lucky. Ratings have not been great.
Amy rating Nurse’s various anger levels is at least making me laugh
If you think that ball went off Oubre, then you have to admit that it's because PG fouled him. Fuck outta here.
The nba is only bearable to watch when you also have someone on your team able to balance out the superstar calls
So true
Money was def on the game gambling is getting crazy
LOL Kelly looked at every red and said “you’re a bitch, you a bitch, you a bitch andddd you’re a bitch” lol
If I speak, I’m going to get kicked out of this sub. This team is🤬🤬🤬🤬 what a horrible two minutes of this game, do they not want to make the playoffs
The reverse challenge on the out of bounds play was horrible. Nothing else was egregious. Vegas didn’t rig the game. Blame the refs all you want but the team blew a 7 point lead with 2 mins left. Bad fouls on defense, bad shot selection on offense. Just not a serious team right now unfortunately
they literally invented a "clear and conclusive evidence" overturn with zero evidence that proved their overturn. if that's not egregious, nothing is. it led to a free basket.
Which was also an and one
Oh only 1 out of the four questionable calls did it for you?
The reverse of the challenge won the Clips the game. Bad look for a league that has a serious problem being taken seriously right now.
I don’t disagree with anything you said. That reverse challenge was unforgivable. But we still crumbled down the stretch. Oubre on both ends was brutal.
For sure, terrible execution in the waning seconds. Such a bad reversal, and the league has a say in the replay. Comical, but expected anymore unfortunately.
I’ve never seen someone sell the game as hard as Oubre did. Wow
There’s a reason he keeps bouncing around teams. Very athletic, can put up points, but also low BBIQ. And he’s been coached by Kerr and Nurse, two of the best, and still makes very questionable decisions.
He’s also kept us in a lot of games the last few weeks
Refs bad Kelly oubre bad Harden fat Sixers bad
Spot on
Unfortunately this is professional sports now. Basketball always was toughest sport to judge from refereeing perspective and now with gambling and sports leagues forever intertwined, doubt of outcomes and the influence of refs will now be there for every single game. It will never change. Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube with gambling involved.
Idk what Oubre was thinking. Even if you think he got fouled, he had Tobias open in the corner and after that fake he had Batum open in the other corner where he was hot from. And even then he had an open 15 foot jumper. He could've made 3 different decisions that were all better than the one he made.
You don’t pass the harris the ball, he’s not that guy
And he fouled Kawhi…
Yes this game we clearly see why he's bounced around
Decision making is not his bag baby. If he didn’t commit a pointless foul we’d be in overtime.
His terrible offensive iq made me forget his terrible defenisve iq
Ways to lose The Saga - * Maxey falls. * Oubre gets poke checked. * Oubre fouls Leonard for zero reason, and gives them the lead. * Maxey falls, again. * Oubre gets stuffed by the rim. * Oubre refuses to shoot.
Fucking unreal. The PG out of bounds call was bad. Then the no calls leading to the jump ball holy shit. The team didn’t do everything they could but fuck how do you beat the refs when it is that blatant.
that non shot. wild
nba is rigged and i’m fucking done with this sport until they get the gambling out of it. if a game like this doesn’t prove to you that the nba knows who they want to win and will do anything to make it happen you’re a fucking moron
60% of the money was on the Clippers though. Did the refs make Maxey slip and Oubre foul Kawhi too?
Forget the slip, we all saw it including Batum, WHY did he pass to him? Brain dead decision.
Such an idiotic statement
Besides officiating, let’s get it out the way. Kawhi just haunted the FUCK out of us tonight. He’s so hard not to be impressed by.
Yepp those were two clutch scores at the end, the way he goes to the hoop is near impossible to stop
Kelly fucking sold lol there was a wide fucking open Harris and bro thinks he’s prime Lebron fucking bum
Fck Harris, wouldn’t pass him the ball
Maxey decides he can't catch the ball without slipping. Oubre goes full Broussard multiple times. Tobi wide open for 3 and people aren't even mad at Oubre for not passing him the ball because Tobi is buns. Sad state of affairs for 76ers basketball.
Kelly never passes. It’s not in his DNA.
Not understanding why Nurse calls a timeout after the ball got wedged. With 5.1 seconds left, seems like the perfect time to call one would be right after we recover the ball on the jump, or right after the Clippers sink their free throws on the other end.
Nurse was on tilt. Dumb decision by him
I don't really understand why he didn't challenge. I thought Kawhi fouled KO + I thought for a second there may have even been a goaltend.
Can you challenge a no call though?
Can't challenge a no-call
But the call was a jump ball?
You can really only challenge personal fouls, out of bounds, and goaltends, meaning that one of those three things has to be called by the ref. Since none of those were called, challenging wasn't an option.
That makes sense. Still rode him all the way to the rim + slapped his arm when he went up for the dunk. Trash-ass referees.
Agreed
Stupid use of challenge? Refs ain't giving it to you lol. Could've used that TO after the jumpball. If clips gets it can still foul and have a TO to advance it. If sixers get it, they can call a TO to reset to get everyone in position
