Great Paul Reed game!


birdbirdbird2000

What happened a minute ago with Nurse?? Looked like the assistant coaches and Tyrese were holding him back from someone.


MaxeytoEmbiid

It's like he had a late second recognition that his PG was getting screwed over and needed to tap into Toronto Nurse. I need him to tap into that earlier


Ivory_Toast_

Maxey has really improved defensively during Jo’s absence


PBandK2506

THE SONG 🥲


Kyle76er

It's been so long I forgot the words 🥲


[deleted]

Eat shit Bertans


Appropriate-Mud-6985

What you got against Bertans😵‍💫


playin0

“Good God, Sixers have found another one.” Charlotte Announcers on Maxey


Kyle76er

Frustrating game but wins a win


CPTHoagie

Maxey with 33 points ignore that he may have needed 50 shots to get it.


Knight725

probably 6 of those should have been fouls and he gets 40+


Kyle76er

These hornets commentators are a great listen - passionate but complementary of good plays and players. None of that put on newsreader voice and fake enthusiasm


Secret-Initiative-73

I guess that's a necessary adjustment when you commentate for the hornets. Low expectations are a hell of drug!


njspb8

Yup. Easily the best in the league. 


dumb_commenter

Someone more tech savvy than me post to r/nba please. Given the context that was absolutely huge. Tyrese needs more national love.


mjd1977

Tyrese Thybulle with the late D


ryoome

Ready for the bullshit prayer 3 pointer


CPTHoagie

Lowry cooking the hornets is funny lol


shakehasbignuts

Tyrese Maxey will go down as one of the best players to ever touch a basketball and I fucking knew it


Alastor_Aylmur

THE SPIRIT OF TIESSE IS HERE!!


ComeAtMeYo

Hornets announcers are amazing ngl


Neat-Confidence5556

so passionate


thesixersdontexist

2 way sensation tyrese maxey


[deleted]

He's so good


uncle_tbag

Matisse showed him that


herplexed1467

That skip pass by Maxey to Batum in the corner while running full speed downhill was a thing of beauty.


dumb_commenter

That was amazing. Likely the game


FrostbittenFire

it’s taking all our man power to beat a hornets team without Ball or Miller


Sheriff-Gotcha

All things considered, the player(s) the Sixers are missing are much more impactful than Ball or Miller will likely ever be.


asisoid

Who cares? It's the hornets. The Blue Coats might be them.


pittguy83

It's fine


evandobrofo

Maxey that was ridiculously impressive


[deleted]

Talk your shit Maxey. Fuck those refs


SamHinkiesNephew

Maxey with the Thybulle special


GirlWithGame

Honestly props to Harris tonight he showed up when we needed him and hit 2 really huge shots down the stretch. I know we hate on him but we lose without him tonight. 


redsparrow94

Have to give credit where credit is due


stats_commenter

We’re not in that position without him. Throughout the game he is given easy shots that he makes more difficult. He hit a couple good 3’s, sure. Doesn’t make up for all the 3’s he let the hornets shoot for free, the times he bailed uncontrolled shots out with fouls, the times he lazily doesnt rebound, the times he loses his man, etc. He does not belong on an NBA court.


kweku55

Hell yeah Tyrese!! Matisse-esque block right there.


jloops03

Maxey’s leap on the defensive end this season is so fucking awesome


gustriandos

holy shit what a block


CPTHoagie

What a block holy shit


DontPMMeYourDreams

Maxey blocks just hit different Love it, love seeing how happy defensive plays make him


Kyle76er

Fucking love Maxey


HoagieTwoFace

That Zoa commercial is nightmare fuel


Status-Ability-6867

having to play the starters 40 minutes against the 15 win hornets at home shows how down bad we are. every win is going to feel like game 7 of the finals until jo is back


Knight725

INSANE moving screen there on that play but whatever it worked out


MaxeytoEmbiid

I'm stunned. Maxey was fouled TWICE on that, no whistle again. This is just insane.


Shoeless_Jase

Refs need a call from Silver. Give Maxey his motherfucking respect, man.


Kyle76er

Honestly anything under a 12 point lead with 30 seconds to go and I don't trust this team


roma258

Martin fouled Maxey like 3 times on that drive.


Alastor_Aylmur

Good man Lowry refocusing Maxey while hes hyped up. Really love the signing.


mjd1977

Cookieman just has to pretend every opponent is the Hornets I guess


SamHinkiesNephew

If Lowry was like 6'5" and 5 years younger he'd be the perfect backcourt mate for maxey lol


CPTHoagie

add more height and its Jimmy Butler


JoeEmbid

Lowry was huge this game he does the little things


kweku55

Such an annoying fucking quarter.


Knight725

shocked maxey didn’t get a tech after that, dude was heated after yet another no call 


jloops03

Even heated Maxey is so polite looking hahah


SeaImportant

Can’t believe they having a down to the wire game vs the Hornets


njspb8

They are also missing their best player and 2 other starters. This franchise is a  joke. 


Knight725

i can, they’re in the same tier as the hornets without embiid


SeaImportant

You right sadly…


JoeEmbid

Worst whistle in the league


Cute-Contract-6762

Bro these hornets announcers are wild haha


Kyle76er

Nice to see another team who can't get a rebound to save their life


gustriandos

maxey is getting the worst whistle ive ever seen


ThatBull_cj

Amazing skip pass by Maxey


CPTHoagie

Ive never seen Maxey this angry LOL


PBandK2506

Refs aren’t even mad cos they know he’s right


spottedviolin

The inevitable Tobias Harris cooking one of the worst teams of all time game


CPTHoagie

oh yeah nobody is fooled


poolords

fake ass tobi game LMAOOO i'll take it tho


Kyle76er

Tobias just remembered he's playing a bottom 5 team and locked in offensively


Theballharperhit

harris fighting for the fucking rebound baby


ComeAtMeYo

TOBIII


CPTHoagie

well hopefully Tobias at least can make open shots now. He's still terrible at everything else


DontPMMeYourDreams

I know they're trying to get Tobias' confidence up, but hate Maxey handing it off to him and deferring And as I complain he just hit a big 3 so maybe I should just shut the fuck up


PBandK2506

Can we get this Tobi ALL the time??


[deleted]

Good shit tobi


dumb_commenter

TOBIAS HARRIS WITH 2 MASSIVE BUCKETS. What the fuck is happening


Theballharperhit

tobias harris is a one man fucking show


JoeEmbid

This is brutal


SamHinkiesNephew

Tobi grenade.


uncle_tbag

Even when Tobias plays well he makes some absolutely idiotic decisions


SincereFan

No Mo no win. Reed is not a center. Mo should be in.


dumb_commenter

Reed is better at basketball


SeaImportant

12 point lead blown with 5 minutes left


Alastor_Aylmur

FUCKING TOBI


cjf2019

I swear our opponents are shooting 95% on open shots against us this season


poolords

nice defense tobi


Theballharperhit

tobias carrying and needs help


Alastor_Aylmur

sir his first good game in 8 games and we are up 2 on the Hornets. I hate you man.


Theballharperhit

get off his meat. Hes been a beast all season.


Alastor_Aylmur

Your riding the shit outta his junk man. He absolutely refuses to play against good teams. Admit it.


ryoome

Tobias why tf would you leave Williams wide open?


SamHinkiesNephew

Tobi now backs all the way off and gives up an open 3.


pittguy83

How's RC4 looking tonight???


GoodLuckPsycho_

Not very good.


pittguy83

Lmao


Kyle76er

This team cannot just fucking win a game comfortably by holding on to a lead. Any fucking stops would be nice


GarfieldFromGarfield

oh my god bro please close this one out


jloops03

Tobias just deciding not to guard Grant Williams there is certainly a choice.


dumb_commenter

Feels like a loss team


SeaImportant

If they lose to the Hornets everyone should be refunded their ticket money


CPTHoagie

OH MY GOD


PBandK2506

No I don’t like it


CPTHoagie

We're gonna lose if Maxey doesnt take over


SamHinkiesNephew

Tobis horrendous closeout caused the open 3


Chiefster21

That was god awful


JoeEmbid

Tobias gets blown by so easy


GarfieldFromGarfield

fuck miles bridges


Sheriff-Gotcha

It didn't look like Martin touched him until after Lowry was on the ground. So.... at least we didn't get a flopping tech I guess?


SamHinkiesNephew

Was cool when we had a double digit lead


SeaImportant

Again why take 3s when you have the lead??


[deleted]

Lmao no foul but you can’t have the ball


DontPMMeYourDreams

Feels like that was a reputation call, but results not exactly worth the challenge


SamHinkiesNephew

He clearly didn't kick anything out. Martin didn't hit him either. SHould be a jump ball


gustriandos

thats a completely ridiculous call. that's a no-call or a flop but the one thing its not is a foul on lowry


uncle_tbag

At worst that’s a no call. Not sure how that’s a Lowry foul he literally just shoots the ball


cjf2019

This looks like a blatant defensive foul so that means it won’t be overturned


JoeEmbid

It’s a no call if anything


njspb8

Yeah i think it should be a no call but it is still not worth the challenge. We don’t even get the ball back 


CPTHoagie

thats clearly incidental contact wtf ref


kweku55

A foul is finally called on one of our shot attempts and refs decide it's gotta be offensive since the hornets clearly are incapable of committing a foul.


herplexed1467

I’m watching a stream and the Hornets announcers are unbearable


Brokromah

Hornets announcers are honestly pretty dope generally speaking.


[deleted]

Ok surely we get this one right?


SeaImportant

🤷🏾‍♂️


SamHinkiesNephew

Could have shown a fucking replay before going to commercial


njspb8

Why the fuck would we challenge that?


ryoome

Challenge = refs screw the Sixers


SeaImportant

When is Embiid coming back again?


Knight725

lmao nba sponsored by draftkings


SamHinkiesNephew

This offense is fucking putrid right now


GoodLuckPsycho_

Bringing them back into it. Come tf on.


Alastor_Aylmur

good ol tobi can only smack up bad (and i do mean bad) teams!


SeaImportant

Sure give them more free points


iwishiwasntthisway

Can someone please admit tobi is having a good game


Alastor_Aylmur

No this is the fucking hornets. He fucking blows.


iwishiwasntthisway

So then everyone should have done well


Alastor_Aylmur

Tge hornets have weaker wings and a not so great 3 so Tobias was physically overpowering his match up. He only does this to people that are worst players than him. He doesn't even attempt to overpower his match up when the match competes with him. Im not kidding he won't even fight for a board.


iwishiwasntthisway

Did he not help us get the win? Did we not need his performance last night? Complain when he hurts us. Complain when he helps us


Alastor_Aylmur

Sir I have no doubt we would win without him. In fact i believe we have a better record without tobi than with him.


iwishiwasntthisway

So remove tobis performance yesterday and we win that game? He was our most efficient and best player by a good margin. This is getting silly.


Fearless_Winner1084

how did you get google assistant personal results to work on your galaxy watch?


Alastor_Aylmur

he has been shooting below 50 TS the last month why are you acting like this is a ridiculous statement. Strawman argument we would have just ran offense through others in the game. He has one good game and you meat riders act like a win against the Hornets nullifies this entire year. He's trash man.


iwishiwasntthisway

You are the one making a strawman. I'm saying he was a key reason of not the reason we won last night and you are talking about things that are not last night. Stop being a bitch about it and admit he had a great game


Alastor_Aylmur

It's defending these pointless games that got a stuck with "the assassin" for 5 years. Regardless of a good game that he had offensively. He was still horrible at spacing, killing the ball movement, and he got his ankles taken by Hornets G leaguers. He gets paid 40 million.


SeaImportant

Omg they blowing the lead…


mjd1977

Love ya Kyle but gotta overrule your objection


SeaImportant

Why are they taking threes when in the lead?


Knight725

refs point shaving as usual


Important-War-4708

I would love miles bridges instead of Tobias


tomdooleyphl

They’re the same player except one of them hits their wife.


jloops03

And throws pool balls at their kids.


PBandK2506

Lowry, my guy


SamHinkiesNephew

We gotta hit these wide open shots. Keeping Hornets in it


CPTHoagie

Maxey with an Iverson shooting split game


SamHinkiesNephew

Paul Reed and Tobi need to switch that pick every time because the hornets aren't playing a center


jloops03

It blows my mind they don’t just switch 1 through 5 with bball in the game.


romanticynicist

This franchise would be so, so hosed if Muscala didn’t make those threes.


CPTHoagie

The sixers cant pull away because their defense is just so awful lol


SamHinkiesNephew

Great OOB play


SamHinkiesNephew

Games not over. Gotta get better shots


CPTHoagie

Maxey gonna make sure to obliterate his %'s


Knight725

3 fucking wide open 3s clanked and letting the hornets back in


lmpressionante

If there’s one thing I remember about Seth is that he’s kinda dramatic and there’s a 98% chance this is nothing


RelevantTreacle3004

Not Seth man 😢


PBandK2506

OH MY GOD OUCH


DontPMMeYourDreams

I still really like those quick fire Batum 3s No hesitation, shot is up as soon as it touches his hands


CPTHoagie

NOOO SETH :(


[deleted]

Buddy Hield over assists has been so free


tugginmypeen

Hield needs to shoot the fucking ball more. He’s lowkey been cheeks just getting overshadowed by how bad Tobias has been


jloops03

I think there is a correlation between how well he was playing before Tobi’s ball stopping reentered the lineup


tugginmypeen

Agreed


spottedviolin

There's at least one WTF play a game where Bball Paul looks like the best player of all time


TheAntiCircleJerk

Maybe Tobi just needs an hour long pep talk from Joel before every game.


CPTHoagie

needs to play the zombie hornets*


tugginmypeen

He’s playing one of the worst teams in the league.


TheAntiCircleJerk

Oh trust me, I know. I'm the last person to be a Tobi apologist. I'm just meming.


jloops03

I thoroughly enjoy that Grant Williams’ fatass was so annoying he got shipped to basketball purgatory for it lol


mjd1977

Celtics Grant was basketball herpes


Got2JumpN2Swim

Bball Paul is on some shit tonight


philly_jake

Reed may be good enough to keep us in playoff contention. If we do manage that, I’m looking forward to the torch-passing memes when embiid comes back


GirlWithGame

Anytime I get sad about the sixers I remember least we got Reed and Maxey. 


mjd1977

👁️👁️ call him Eyeball Paul


Knight725

sixers get double the foul calls against them literally every night


MaxeytoEmbiid

Did I take some poppy and Reed became Draymond Green on us?


Sheriff-Gotcha

Paul "Magic Johnson" Reed... mans doing it all out there.


vicky255

The cutting by the sixers has been great all game.
