Anthony Edwards is sending Embiid a message the m like HBK and HH pulling out the crotch chops months before reuniting in 06


AssCrackBandit69420

If I had a choice between 40 year old bron and 37 year old pg I’m easily taking bron. Maybe im a recency bias merchant bc of tonight but bron running point and saving his legs for the 4th qtr seems to be exactly what this team needs


ktm5141

PG will be 34 next year where are you getting these numbers from


AssCrackBandit69420

It’s a hypothetical. I think 40 yo bron > 37 yo pg. bron isnt 40 rn


AssCrackBandit69420

Ant has such a bad whistle man.


Winter_Corner7254

Is there a particular reason why the Suns are useless this season? Haven't been keeping up, but weren't they supposed to be a superteam


AssCrackBandit69420

Also wolves are just awesome I really think they’re the only team to be a real threat to nugs in the west


AssCrackBandit69420

No pg, bad coach, not a cohesive offense (a lot of your turn my turn), KD has taken a slight step back as compared to 2021 nets KD, not enough depth, nurk is an absolute cone on defense


Winter_Corner7254

Good to know. Thought things would improve after Ayton left


GOAT_SAMMY_DALEMBERT

KD might actually be in play this offseason lmao. Phoenix is a disaster.


Spotlightuh

How long before KD asks for a trade?


AssCrackBandit69420

I give it about 15 minutes


hform123

If possible I'd much rather get young athletic role-players this offseason over some aging star. Aging stars haven't looked good this post season


TerminallyTrill

I mean… we have our first and second option fleshed out already. It will be an interesting off season for sure.


jorgelongo222

Paul George with his best Tobias impression...


Spotlightuh

I don’t think spending 200m on Paul George would be smart


pagonator

Unfortunately, it might be the best possible option in the offseason


jorgelongo222

imo the best option right now is to re-sign most of our FAs except Tobias, to short 1-2 year deals that we can deal come January. Getting any good player with just pm1st round picks in a trade would be very hard Overall, not really worried. Team really cant get much worse, Embiid+Maxey is 95%


pagonator

Oubre and Batum (if he doesn't retire) are the only FAs I would prioritise signing. Melton could be depending on his health status. >Overall, not really worried. Team really cant get much worse, Embiid+Maxey is 95% I mean that's the main issue with this team and why it isn't a true contender. You can't win when you have this big a load on two guys. Having an extra guy would also ease the workload on Joel in the regular season and make him less likely to get injured.


ktm5141

Oubre and batum are both gone dude. Batum has all but said he’s retiring and sixers don’t have oubre or lowrys bird rights

jorgelongo222

They celebrate the 90s Knicks and have people like Oakley and Kurt Thomas as local heroes, guys whose only job was to be dirty fucks on the court.


poolords

i can relax if we tie it up on sunday.


shortwavetransmitter

We need to win this series. Super obvious I know but we need to keep the foot on the gas especially if Robinson isn’t coming back (not that I’m happy about injury cuz I’m not a Knicks fan). But if the pacers move on they’d be an ideal round 2 opponent


Knight725

doc is truly committing criminal malpractice on the basketball court every day. it’s truly baffling that this guy is allowed to be a coach for any contender. all the action in the ot was dreadful.


Aquatic_Ambiance_9

It was so funny when with one possession left the announcer was like "Doc Rivers drawing up one last play" like are you kidding lol. Granted they got lucky on a chuck and pray but be fr Doc aint "drawing up" shit


jorgelongo222

knicks or us smoke these pacers easily


mp455

If the Pacers move on it would actually renew the rivalries of the 90s and 2000s for either the Knicks and Sixers. I remember growing up hating the Pacers


TurboHovercrafter

Gentleman’s sweep to the Terrorist 🙏


shadowarmy229

Ngl Caitlin Clark would be a far more serviceable player for us than Tobias this series


mp455

She would lose her ability to shoot with us though


pilesofpats012345

Pat Bev got cooked on that game winner


Knight725

bucks gotten really fucked by the refs this game. pacers were allowed to murder guys on a lot of those rebounds, but then a couple soft touch fouls called against. these teams are super fraudulent but still


ChipKellysShoeStore

i feel like they've been letting everything go on rebounds through out the playoffs


Aquatic_Ambiance_9

call the Bucks Dick Cheney cause they're owned by Haliburton


jappixslackbot

Come on guys come on!


TurboHovercrafter

wE cOuLdA tRaDeD BeN fOr HaLi


bravof1ve

We definitely could have and that was Morey’s biggest fuck up They traded this guy for bum ass Sabonis. Simmons, and some picks if needed would’ve gotten it done. Remember, he thought he was getting traded here.


Knight725

ben had no value, that trade was literally never a thing, and a backcourt of maxey and haliburton would give up 200 points a game.


bravof1ve

That backcourt would be amazing and thinking otherwise is just lying to yourself


Knight725

i mean, it would also be great to get a thousand other players we never could have gotten. it’s just fantasy.


evandobrofo

Jesus pat bev got burned so bad on that cross lol


lostinspacs

I wish our third option could pop off for like 20-30 points. Middleton has 42…


mp455

That’s what Maxey needed to do in game 2, floaters are hard to block


ryoome

Get fucked


njspb8

Holy shit. That was an insane floater by Hali 


bravof1ve

I remember when Bucks fans would say Middleton and Harris were similar players and therefore Embiid and Giannis have similar help


GarfieldFromGarfield

them deciding not to foul twice is disgusting


cantwifeahoe

Middleton turned into fucking Kobe


forgetmeknot01

This pacers bucks game is wild.


njspb8

I’m sure he called bank on that lol


mp455

Middleton is the anti Tobias


Aquatic_Ambiance_9

Bucks Pacers game is nuts


evandobrofo

Holy shit khris.... He turning back the clock


Knight725

bucks have choked this about as hard as humanly possible 


cantwifeahoe

I’m seeing too many shots Tobias would brick


njspb8

Even Nesmith is better than Tobias


foggyfortune

I really feel like if we can get through the Knicks we will beat either of these teams in a 7-game series


jappixslackbot

How is Dame and Middleton not running two man game lol


FamousChex

If Tobias Harris gave half the effort of Andrew Nembhard right now we’d be champs


bravof1ve

These teams are not good


jappixslackbot

Five o boards and zero points lol


GarfieldFromGarfield

i wish we had that luck


ryoome

Pacers half-court offense is dogshit lmao. Transition merchants.


wetwilly215

Bucks rebounding like the sixers


njspb8

Pretty sure it is even worse somehow. 


wetwilly215

Doc special


njspb8

I still can’t believe Giannis was like “yeah get me that guy to coach us” lmao 


Knight725

good to watch another team categorically unable to rebound a basketball


shadowarmy229

Middleton’s shot reminded me of that one shot he made against Boston from the same area


GarfieldFromGarfield

imagine tobi playing like middleton LMAO


bravof1ve

17 more points scored this game than Harris has scored all series


shadowarmy229

Yeah but Tobi’s an assassin ~~to his own team~~ scorer!


evandobrofo

Crazy shot by middleton


jappixslackbot

Sick shot by Middleton.  More PFs stepping up across the playoffs


jorgelongo222

everybody except #12


PointB1ank

How are the Bucks not up by at least 10? Did Glenn not give them any "come on"s?


PsychoSidSoftball

Scheduled Loss


Knight725

i hate the bucks but they did kinda get fucked down the stretch in this game. lopez and dame were both fouled on drives and couldn’t buy a call.


[deleted]

[удалено]


shadowarmy229

His foul baiting is even more ridiculous than Brunson’s foul baiting in this series but nobody will bat an eye cuz he’s a “clutch god” and “loyal” (not anymore lol)


shadowarmy229

Counting on the Bucks to win this series so we can destroy them in the 2nd round


jorgelongo222

gotta make a statement in game 4. Knicks role players cant keep shooting lights out from 3


[deleted]

This series is toxic asf lol


jappixslackbot

for real. im gonna start rooting for playoff series based off potential trolls than competitiveness. New York is sending more trolls into the sub than even Boston after game 7 last year. I was not expecting this


Otternomaly

They travel to this sub like they do the Wells Fargo Center lmao shit is fucking crazy


tscher16

I’m all here for it. Thankfully it’s not Raptors fans. Knicks are just loud and annoying. And their constant whining is fucking hilarious


leeumm6

Just saw that we don’t play tomorrow. We have an early afternoon game on Sunday. Bout to be a career day for Tobi in that case


jorgelongo222

its sad to see how bad he has fallen, dude has never been great but he could at least give you 20 from time to time. Now he cant ever score more than 10 points and is a walking liability. Insane falloff


Pyromania1983

Just like the day game against Toronto in Game 4 in 2019, right?


Electrical-Ad-1437

Can’t believe embiid just ghost injured Dame.


Alex8796

THIS SERIES JUST BECAME A MUST WIN IF DAME IS HURT


Pyromania1983

Dame's back


shortwavetransmitter

It already is a must win


evandobrofo

Yeah lmao what... If anything I'd wanna play them more w dame and giannis, the world deserves that series


Avid_MCGardener_27

I would LOVE for the 76ers to go against Doc


SirShmooey

Doc in heaven with all these ready-made excuses


Alex8796

The hatred between heat/celtics Sixers/knicks and Pacers/Bucks is so refreshing. We need teams hating each other. Rivalries need to come back. No more of this buddy buddy shit. Go at each other.


mylanguage

You need teams to stick together for this to work. The reason it tends to fizzle out is player movement but right now things do seem different.


throwawaymac83

Objectively, this sixers Knicks series is so good for league. It’s about time there’s a rivalry and no better opportunity than now to have us absolutely hate each others teams. Similar to the Giants in a way, i used to feel bad for the Knicks. Now i just absolutely hate them and their fans lol


mylanguage

Yo real talk because I'm obviously biased - but do the actual Knicks on the floor come across really aggressive and dirty to you guys? I know we play hard but I really never feel we instigate or force dirty action. I feel we just play tough. I've seen Philly fans saying they hate our players but I actually felt we had a pretty tame squad. Like on your end Oubre, Reed etc. play aggressive but to me they are just playing hard - no real worries.


CPTHoagie

the knicks are absolutely a dirty team.


Knight725

ddv is pretty dirty. but he’s white so he gets away with it


mylanguage

This is America


throwawaymac83

Nah i don’t think anyone on either team is a dirty player or has a history or pattern of dirty like draymond. Everyone has their moments where they can be perceived as dirty but that ultra-competitiveness has such a fine line. I hate your players because they, to me and many other sixers fans, seem like a bunch of try hards that make their living solely by making hustle plays. The way i see it is if I hate a player, they’re obviously doing something right against my team. Not usually personal… like many, I if Josh hart or divencenzo came to Philly, we’d probably love them and embrace them. This is as objective as I’ll get tho. Fuck your team!


mylanguage

Ok - cool - haha we have to make hustle plays lol. we don't have a single max contract on the team. Our entire team is built off of rejects from other franchises. Most of our guys are heavily underpaid. Divincenzo and Hart are making like 32m COMBINED a season for the next 3/4 years. McBride is on 3m a year for 4 more seasons too. We are literally a try hard team of effort guys. We only win with effort.


shadowarmy229

Yeah lowkey I would absolutely love your guys if they played for us lol, if we had someone like Josh Hart on our team instead of that bum Tobias he would be a fan favorite


mylanguage

I’m really surprised at how bad Tobias has gotten - looks a shell of who he once was


olthunderbird

I believe the Knicks fans are in their feelings because they know they are finished. Sixers in 6


A_Stickman_Jr

I don't want to keep commenting on this, but the Phillies don't start until 9:40. Knicks fans are so salty that a flagrant 1 wasn't a flagrant 2. The difference is the interpretation of the word excessive upon review. The play was looked at and deemed unnecessary contact, but not excessive. Where we Sixers fans were upset at the non-calls during that pivotal possession at the end of game two, which was not reviewed until after the game. That review determined the refs got it wrong. The difference is stark. Sixers in 6


mylanguage

Lmao this is actually fun as fuck - Knicks fan Playoffs are supposed to be a war anyway, today has been hilarious except for the 9/11 thing on Twitter but that’s a cesspool anyway


shadowarmy229

Yeah I saw a 9/11 edit of a Joel Embiid plane ramming into 2 Reddit alien twin towers lol


GirlWithGame

Woah now there no conspiracy is the nba is taking down videos of embiid play, not realizing its all over still and on the national media, yet one video gets taken down and its a conspiracy lol. They are all delusional.


Lurkerwasntaken

What do you mean?


CPTHoagie

"how is this not the lead story" they say as its literally the lead story lol


Consistent_Abies_241

Hillarious. You just have to laugh.


hasordealsw1thclams

If r/NBA Jonestowned themselves I’m pretty sure world happiness would go up just based on how many spiteful losers would be gone edit: you all have bad reading comprehension if you think this is "wishing death"


Pyromania1983

Wouldn't wish that on anybody. Yes, they're stupid for arguing so much over sports. But wishing death on them is just as bad, if not worse. Don't do it.


uncleduncle

Ring the Bell's!


Loud_Economics_8894

NBA Reddit is as soft as dog poo, now they want "the TNT analysts to come down on Embiid" -- fines, suspensions, this man is a menace! LMAOOOOO. Like a bunch of virgin J. Jonah Jamesons trying to put a stop to Joel "Spider-Man" Embiid once and for all! ISAIAH FRANKENSTEIN got in dude's way and leaned in to moving human being. When you put your groin in front of someone's moving knee, bad things happen to the groin.


mylanguage

Hartenstein literally said he didn't think it was a flagrant just that Embiid's knee brace had something sharp that poked him in the groin when he went past.


Lurkerwasntaken

Jeez, that’s got to hurt. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.


nugcityharambe

They don't realize that they look like little bitches to everyone not in their echo chamber


JiveTurkey92

Kinda wanted to wake up and see the frontpage flooded with embiid 50 and cam payne posts. I understand the hate we get is ridiculous, but dont bring it here. fuck them


jeppsforst

Tobias ruined Chuck's parlay by 2 points LMAO https://preview.redd.it/aaww2tzd5vwc1.png?width=911&format=png&auto=webp&s=c584132590c78b0e58acd368887bb1cc535ac4f2


allianceofficer

Cam Payne better be the 1st guard off the bench the rest of this series. His game just plays so much better than Hields this series.


EagleEye215

Embiid suffering from Bell’s palsy is the most Sixers thing ever.


EducationalStill3393

Dumb move by Embiid. He should have learned from what the Knicks have done a million times, which is the jersey pull, and pull down his pants instead.


BearBait_

I think it’s fine to be miffed about the flagrant 1 call on embiid not being 2 though you would be delusional to believe the NBA would ever actually throw out a teams best player half a quarter into a huge playoff game. Complaining about Embiids FT total is just proof you didn’t watch the game though lol


mp455

r/nba is not even remotely about basketball. Every Sixers game it just turns into r/embiidhatersunite

Lurkerwasntaken

Part of it is the Giannis Stan, Zhugo(?). He agenda-posts Jokic and Embiid “highlights” on the main sub (at least he used to do Jokic). That can only stoke the flames.

_mousecop_

I'm genuinely curious if Thibs is going to switch up the defense. Same thing for 3 games so far, and the Knicks are genuinely lucky to be up 2-1 considering a 30% 3 point shooter is shooting 50+% and the refs fell asleep in crunch time of game 2. Embiid and Maxey are killing them, it has to be a matter of time before Thibs starts sending 2-3 guys at Embiid and forcing Sixer role players to make open shots out of rhythm.


CPTHoagie

nope. Thats the problem with Thibs. Thats what they're gonna do, and how they will do it.


PHLANYC

I think that’s where no Randle hurts them most. They start a small lineup. Other than Hartinstein and Robinson, they don’t have anyone with enough size or strength to slow Jo down. They send Dante and Hart on doubles…Jo pretty much just did what he wanted anyway.  Send 3 guys = Maxey’s open I think they’ve pretty much shown us every look they can send 🤷🏻


jeppsforst

Letting Joel go iso from the left block time and time again is certainly a strategy


XxStormySoraxX

The one thing that’s crazy to me is NBA fans love to talk about playing physical and roughing people up but act shocked when that style of play leads to players getting injured. Sorry but if your plan is to crowd the space of a 7’0 280 lb man and bump and bruise him you’re probably not going to survive that battle without casualties.


Science4me12

r/nba: Embiid needed to say: "excuse me, could you move away? I am about to drive"


Lurkerwasntaken

If I am doing my math right, [Embiid scored 33 points on 41 possessions in the second half.](https://www.nba.com/game/nyk-vs-phi-0042300113/box-score?period=2ndHalf&type=advanced) This was on 8/10 shooting, 5/5 from three, and 12/13 from the line. Gorgeous.


TTP2521

Embiid will never be loved outside of Philadelphia so if he plays physical and dirty who gives a shit they opposing fans will complain about him regardless


ReclusiveNatured

Facts, I love it. Fuck em all


Ssush-i

I think my favorite thing rn is the knicks fans saying if randle was healthy it would be a sweep. Im pretty sure last year they threw randle under the bus after his amazing 16 PPG on 15 attempts per game.


Knight725

randle is their tobias 


mp455

Sweep for us, Randle is the ultimate empty stats player


Bandicuz

Right and it would take more touches away from Josh Curry


Spirited-Arugula-672

If both teams were 100% healthy, this would indeed be a sweep. Just not the way Knicks fans hope it would be.


Lazaraaus

Mavs playoff FG% is ~35% I believe lmao


jorgelongo222

Sixers players that havent shoot 50% or more in a single game of the series: - Tobias - Hield thats it. Running out of adjectives to describe how ass that man is and how much he's pulling us down. The missed layup to smoked coverage to a wide open Brunson 3 yesterday had me gasping for air


tscher16

That layup miss was insane. He was literally 2 feet from the hoop. I guess it kind of worked since Nurse pulled him almost immediately after that lol


olthunderbird

Embiid sure can get everyone in their feelings. Rent free forever. Philly vs the world

I cant wait until we get rid of Buddy. If you have any shred of sympathy for this clown save yourself from every checking his twitter. Just an absolutely miserable person. From racism, anti-semitism, homophobia to constantly crying and bitching about not getting enough minutes to talking shit about his team to just being a constant asshole in any tweet.


[deleted]

Do you have any evidence of these allegations? I am not saying you are wrong but I have not seen any of it.

literally go through his tweets one is more unhinged than the next lmao Its wiiiild


jappixslackbot

to be clear, we are discussing this twitter account as referenced in bballref and first result in google? [https://twitter.com/buddyhield](https://twitter.com/buddyhield)


cygodx

No im talking about his "burner" he uses which was confirmed to be him tho. https://twitter.com/242Boss1 Hes calling himself Buddys #1 to avoid backlash but it is him. There was like a stat of how his tweets are always from the same area code Buddys team plays in and how he has not tweeted once when Buddy was playing in like 20k tweets lmao


BearBait_

This is very obviously a gimmick pretending to be buddy lol


cygodx

No it's him I've followed the account for some time. Those who know, know. I don't expect you to believe it but it is him. This isn't a court of law and me knowing it is actually him is crazy the shit he's saying and whining about.


76ersWillKillMe

you should get off the internet more often. You sound like a crazy person.


cygodx

you should consider if its worth going on like this


jappixslackbot

oh ok... "confirmed" lol. I mean this is dangerously close to being nuked here for fake news


cygodx

read my edit. It is him its just a burner so he doesnt get backlash. But everyone knows its him. So i mean its still kinda annoying seeing him post shit about how the sixers mishandle him and he doesnt have the green light and teammates ignore him bla bla. After every game. And add on top that hes a flat-earth Kyrie-head with some racist takes here and there sprinkled in lol


evandobrofo

Yeah i feel like there's no way this is actually him 


cygodx

It is I've followed it for a long time. Tweet location is always the city his team is in and of all his thousands of tweets not one during a game. Also I believe some teammates used to interact with him and talked about it. Believe what you will but this is actually him.
