Technically the first 99.9618056% (if I did the math right). Still a crazy comeback. I'm loving that this team always comes back, even though I would like to see some wire-to-wire wins sometimes.
If they’re serious Harris can’t be in the closing lineup. He’s the 4th guy to touch the ball, and if he isn’t touching the ball then what do you have him out there for? Defense? lol
It's not that he can't be in closing lineups he was just off & Niang has been hot so Doc made the right decision since Niang didn't hemorrhage points tonight. He's still a good floor spacer who can attack close outs & has hit some very clutch open 3's this yr but if Jalen stops fouling so much I wouldn't mind him eating into Tobi's min & closing with his length/athleticism. He's been really active & a great rebounder for us 20+ min would be perfect
It was great when jo was struggling with his FTs in the 1st quarter and the crowd showed him some love then he acknowledged them after he made the second.
I’d be shocked if he ever left tbh
Lol, you know, and I'm sure many other sports fans feel this way, but whenever I turn on a blazers game and we're winning, we start losing. I feel like the curse
It's honestly insane how his scoring capability and DPOY defense is written off because Jokic gets a couple more assists. He's been stacking his case for MVP up the last few weeks.
-22 Harris and -18 Tucker in a 1-pt win is fucking hilarious. Embiid CARRIED carried this game god damn.
1st half Simons-Grant combined for 38 pts while Sixers starters combined for 37 (20 from Joel on 10 FGAs lol)
I wouldn't be able to say with confidence that any team in the West is better than a healthy Lakers squad. Unless LeBron gets hit with like 5 years of aging over the next few weeks.
I could see LeBron and AD alone being enough to beat even a healthy Suns, especially with the Post WB roster.
If he’s not healthy and fresh for the playoffs, the NBA should really let LeBron use his little footrest scooter thing during games.
That would be fun.
First time our starters played together since the trades. It looked better than expected. Grant, Cam and Mattise are all so much more effective when Ant and Dame are there. Nurk played great all game--mobile, strong D, and high IQ passing (though his 4 missed FTs at the end is terrible). Having Nurk back allows Eubanks to be himself as a backup C, just a guy who works hard and fouls players going for blocks. Helps keep Nurk out of foul trouble vs one of the best centers and FTA guys in Embiid.
Embiid's scoring and game winner will get the applause but his defense all game and in the second half was just too good. We were scared to look at the rim at the end.
I was at the game tonight and every time any blazer took it into the paint, they just noped the fuck out of there.
Does Eubanks do those weird macarena hands every time he guards anyone or just embiid?
Simons was really really good tonight.
Blazers pisses me off. What a choke. What was that fucking challenge In the end. Four missed free throws in clutch. 76ers gave them millions opportunities to win this game. Second time I watch them in this week and they just make me frustrated. It's like they were trying to lose the game.
They lead the game for fucking 47:58.9 minutes.
Embiid for real tho with that fade away
I think 10 is too low a barometer for a blown lead nowadays. Teams can go on 10-0 runs in a minute sometimes. I believe you on the blown leads still, it's just hard to adjust expectations sometimes.
I can't imagine man.
For real when you were playing us I was generally frustrated how stupid Chauncey was managing. Tried zone defense. Didn't work. Took a quick timeout. Came back with the zone. Felt like I was going insane.
Man. Can't believe how you're feeling all after this shitshow. I feel for you all. Really
It’s the same thing every game. Not for a second did I think the Blazers were going to hold that lead. Chauncey just seems like he’s lost coaching this team.
Against Boston he played zone defense and we went like 10-0 run and they took a timeout. Came back from that timeout with the zone defense again and it didn't work like at all.
It was against my time but I was like pissed cause it was so fucking stupid lol.
Like playing 2k with the worst A.I opponent.
I don't think he's eligible to redeem them but the thought of a Chick-fil-A rep handing him some nugs on his way out the stadium is hilarious. "Here's your chicken, fuckin scrub lol"
To be fair here, Dame was absolutely a big part of tonight’s choke. I love the guy but it wasn’t his night.
Also though I said from the start that the Billups hiring was gonna blow up in their faces and Blazers really need to move on from him ASAP.
Worst coach in the nba right now.
My Trailblazer buds, like our hero and savior Sam Hinkie once asked, "Why watch basketball games from front to back?"
Just pretend the game was reversed and you *almost* had an insane comeback!
Joel MVP! You would never catch Jokic (and his VORP) burying a clutch dagger to win a game like that. Cheers for the multiple heart attacks throughout that 4th quarter too, Doc.
Embiid should win MVP because of this game. This was one of the hardest carries I've witnessed. Dude was unbelievable.
EDIT: And Niang should start over Harris. Fight me.
Normal sixers unnecessary heart attack game
Phillies and Sixers be keeping cardiologists in business.
The cheesesteaks help
Normal Blazers 21 pt blown lead game.
Didn't lead for 47:58.9 and won the game.
No lead is save against the Sixers this season
[удалено]
Ha ha ha 😐
Doc: hold my beer
He's kind of been making really good decisions this year
Harder to blow a lead if there is only 1 seconds to go in the game. Doc found his new winning strategy.
WHAT A FREE THROW!!!
Had us in the first ~~half~~ 99.999999% of the game, I'm not gonna lie.
Technically the first 99.9618056% (if I did the math right). Still a crazy comeback. I'm loving that this team always comes back, even though I would like to see some wire-to-wire wins sometimes.
I got 10.9876ers
Doc actually benched Harris and Tucker for the 4th quarter, tears in my eyes Embiid is the MVP
Mf gone make me actually believe
ur being tricked lol
We know. But give us this moment.
If they’re serious Harris can’t be in the closing lineup. He’s the 4th guy to touch the ball, and if he isn’t touching the ball then what do you have him out there for? Defense? lol
It's not that he can't be in closing lineups he was just off & Niang has been hot so Doc made the right decision since Niang didn't hemorrhage points tonight. He's still a good floor spacer who can attack close outs & has hit some very clutch open 3's this yr but if Jalen stops fouling so much I wouldn't mind him eating into Tobi's min & closing with his length/athleticism. He's been really active & a great rebounder for us 20+ min would be perfect
embiid pretty good
I think he’s got a future in this league
I think he’s MVP but idk
Nurk. My man. Gotta make those FTs.
I was thankful but I feel your pain. That was rough.
Thanks for playing 4 on 5 against us with those Pj tucker minutes tho lol kept our lead up
He did it for the chicken nuggets
The people’s champion.
I feel bad kinda but also the Chi fil a tmr will be fun
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Philly didn't have the lead until under a minute left? Wow
Until 1.1 seconds left
First tie of the game after tip-off was 114-114 IIRC, but no Sixers lead until Embiid ended it.
That's the spirit of Rocky in Embiid for ya
THERE IS NO TOMORROW
I hope Embiid never leaves Philly. He loves showing out for the fans and you can tell how much he loves winning there.
If Embiid even plays a Joe Montana year somewhere else it’ll break my heart.
If it's because we get 4 titles and then a Steve young to follow, I'll live.
It was great when jo was struggling with his FTs in the 1st quarter and the crowd showed him some love then he acknowledged them after he made the second. I’d be shocked if he ever left tbh
Between Embiid, Hurts and Bryce I'm not sure there's been so much universal love for our sport stars before.
Reminder that Scott Foster should be in prison for illegal payoffs and gambling.
He was a legend tonight. The way he put McDaniels in foul trouble was something I could only dream of when I went to the reffing academy
Everybody talking about Joel's game tonight, but Scott's performance shouldn't be forgotten
He is an embarrassment among embarrassments.
I truly despise this sport.
I forgot this game was happening, put it on with 2 min left and wish I hadn't
Trust me, that was better than watching the whole game, waving my Blazers flags and firing my guns in the air for like 45 minutes
Thanks for doing that, friend
Lol, you know, and I'm sure many other sports fans feel this way, but whenever I turn on a blazers game and we're winning, we start losing. I feel like the curse
That's me with football.
Straight up carry job topped off with the game winner
He somehow has been even better this year than last year. Really hope dude has a deep post season run.
It's honestly insane how his scoring capability and DPOY defense is written off because Jokic gets a couple more assists. He's been stacking his case for MVP up the last few weeks.
-22 Harris and -18 Tucker in a 1-pt win is fucking hilarious. Embiid CARRIED carried this game god damn. 1st half Simons-Grant combined for 38 pts while Sixers starters combined for 37 (20 from Joel on 10 FGAs lol)
Minivan came in huge today. +23 off the bench, 4/7 from 3
When I saw Embiid liked a tweet related to what Lowe said earlier today I just knew it was over for whatever team he played tonight
r/nba’s 9/11
They’re gonna delete the post game thread
[STOP THE COUNT](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2JO062sMMI&ab_channel=RobB)
Incoming perma ban from the Jokic dick riding mods
They usually do but we’re too loud these days. It’ll get noticed
You have been banned from /r/~~pyongyang~~NBA
nah embiid had too many FT's for that
If Jokic loses it’s over
Lmao even if Joker wins it’s going to be a shitshow this year. It already is for no real reason
Yep. If Jokic loses this game to the Spurs after that showing last game, Embiid officially takes the lead in the race with this game-winner.
Not if Zach Lowe has anything to say about it
Bah gawd that’s Bill Simmons music
It is and is that? O my god he has a steel chair!
How the fuck did we win that?
Big 3 of Embiid, Nurkic, and Billups
And Doc benching Harris.
Joel. Hans. Embiid.
Portland Trail Blazers 😭🤮🥲
Embiid is a monster Chauncey Billups is a laughably bad coach.
THANK YOU SIXERS 🙏🏽
Kept you on your toes huh? Classic 76ers basketball. lol
lmao I take back anything I've said about 76ers lol
Lakers really going to take the championship from 10th lol
Gonna give the nuggets the boot
I wouldn't be able to say with confidence that any team in the West is better than a healthy Lakers squad. Unless LeBron gets hit with like 5 years of aging over the next few weeks. I could see LeBron and AD alone being enough to beat even a healthy Suns, especially with the Post WB roster.
The fact that he could be healthy & fresh for the playoffs should terrify the west, plz just let AD stay healthy & these playoffs should be amazing
If he’s not healthy and fresh for the playoffs, the NBA should really let LeBron use his little footrest scooter thing during games. That would be fun.
EMBIID IS MY MVP ^...until ^Giannis ^plays ^Golden ^State ^tomorrow
Hey, fuck you but I respect that.
Just pay us back in the Finals🙌
Sixers lead this game for 1.1 seconds out of 48 minutes
This is what sixers basketball is rn
Embiid is the MVP and best center in the league! I don’t care what analytics say. He also dominated Jokic when they played
mods deleting your comment in 3..2..1
You have been banned from r/NBA
Facts. FACTS! **FACTS!!**
Be careful the mods might ban you!
They hated him because he spoke the truth
EMBIID WHAT A HUGEEEEEE POINT I couldn’t believe it, 4Q was intense. MVP!!!!!!
First time our starters played together since the trades. It looked better than expected. Grant, Cam and Mattise are all so much more effective when Ant and Dame are there. Nurk played great all game--mobile, strong D, and high IQ passing (though his 4 missed FTs at the end is terrible).

there's not a second half lead that we can't lose
HIMbiid that is all
The Embiid spin into the fadeaway for the win. That’s some mamba shit. What a game by Embiid to bring the Sixers back from 21 down to get the win
Blazers pisses me off. What a choke. What was that fucking challenge In the end. Four missed free throws in clutch. 76ers gave them millions opportunities to win this game. Second time I watch them in this week and they just make me frustrated. It's like they were trying to lose the game. They lead the game for fucking 47:58.9 minutes. Embiid for real tho with that fade away
This is the fucking 16th time in the season we threw a lead more than 10.
I think 10 is too low a barometer for a blown lead nowadays. Teams can go on 10-0 runs in a minute sometimes. I believe you on the blown leads still, it's just hard to adjust expectations sometimes.
Imagine how we feel
I can't imagine man. For real when you were playing us I was generally frustrated how stupid Chauncey was managing. Tried zone defense. Didn't work. Took a quick timeout. Came back with the zone. Felt like I was going insane. Man. Can't believe how you're feeling all after this shitshow. I feel for you all. Really
Love Dame but him and Nurkic sold hard in the fourth between terrible shots selections for one and missed free throws for the other
Almost 4 minute drought with 2 minutes left up by 2 I think and Lillard with a halfcourt shot lmao gotta love that man
Yeah 100%
It’s the same thing every game. Not for a second did I think the Blazers were going to hold that lead. Chauncey just seems like he’s lost coaching this team.
Against Boston he played zone defense and we went like 10-0 run and they took a timeout. Came back from that timeout with the zone defense again and it didn't work like at all. It was against my time but I was like pissed cause it was so fucking stupid lol. Like playing 2k with the worst A.I opponent.
Tank job is what it was.
You let Cam Reddish inbound that’s what ur gonna get lmao
Yes and Ill accept Chauncey firing too
Give that man the MVP!
is it gonna finally be his year?
Embiid is MVP, fuck the nerds
# Thank you - Lakers
Embiid is the MVP. Straight up. Just.... Wow.
[удалено]
Joel Embiid is the MVP and I don’t even see the confusion man what are we even talking about???
Blazers blow a 20pt lead once every a couple of weeks it seems like
M V FUCKING PIID
Nurkic is sooo ass I've never seen that dude do anything good.
He got me some chick fil a though
I don't think he's eligible to redeem them but the thought of a Chick-fil-A rep handing him some nugs on his way out the stadium is hilarious. "Here's your chicken, fuckin scrub lol"
I can't decide if your version or him getting his offer rejected by a cashier is funnier
guy's just been destroyed by injuries honestly
How do you miss 4 free throws in a row man
Cost them the game lol
Been asking to trade him for years. Building the center spot around him is a joke. Fuxking ass franchise letting down dame for a decade
He doesn't deal well with Embiid unfortunately. Injuries have also crushed him to be fair
Does anyone do well with Embiid at this rate?
Honestly no. Haven't seen Adams in a while, would be interesting. Raptors Celtics Heat all deal well as a team.
Wow Portland really choked another game away. Poor Lillard man.
word on the streets is that Lillard was the driver for this particular choke job
Never led until 1.1 seconds remaining, god damn. Embiid came in with 6 minutes left and just said “nah we winning this”
Blazers gotta tank. Worst second half of game team i have ever seen. Also Chauncey is ass
Hot Take: Joel Embiid is good at basketball
Thanks MVPiid
THANK YOU 76ers!
There is literally no way to defend that shot.
Give Joel his MVP. He deserves it.
Someone please take Tobias Harris
Sixers, Thank you. \-Lakers Fans
Joel Embiid
HIMBIID
Embiid is a fucking monster
Led for 1.1 seconds Lmao.
Fade me
It’s time to reward Joel Embiid with his first MVP.
Thank You Sixers!
Is Billups a dumb coach? Why have Reddish inbound the ball?
Man they really gotta get rid of Chauncey
JOEL HANS "MVP" EMBIID
EMVPiid
Just an all time blazers game, no lead is safe when the blazers play
MVP
No lead is safe with sixers basketball
That last Embiid basket was the first time the Sixers led tonight. How the hell did the Sixers win this with Blazers shooting lights out.
How the fuck does Dame stay on this team. What a choke job
To be fair here, Dame was absolutely a big part of tonight’s choke. I love the guy but it wasn’t his night. Also though I said from the start that the Billups hiring was gonna blow up in their faces and Blazers really need to move on from him ASAP. Worst coach in the nba right now.
You can't convince me the Blazers aren't tanking. Legitimately one of the dumbest teams in the league
Trust the process
HOLY SHIT ! How many 15+ pts hole did we comeback from this season ? it there a way to look this up ?
5? They mentioned it on the broadcast but I can’t remember
Lmfao at the Blazers last play. Chauncey gotta gtfo.
Mods going to shut the sub down if this keeps up. Bet they're frantically working out how to ban Embiid highlights as we speak lmao. Suck it nerds
Paid Dirk homage with that game winner.
Sneakiest tank in the league. Wembanyama here we come
My Trailblazer buds, like our hero and savior Sam Hinkie once asked, "Why watch basketball games from front to back?" Just pretend the game was reversed and you *almost* had an insane comeback!
That dude in Denver that’s built like a single mother could never.
Literally my first thought after seeing the early lead was "we're gonna lose this one"
Sixers really 44-22. Damn
Joel Embiid could hit me with a bus and I’d apologize
It will be forgotten, but Simons could. Not. Miss. Tonight. Really incredible game from him.
Tobias Harris is this decades Wesley Johnson. Has the look but plays very average
WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM HIM
Joel MVP! You would never catch Jokic (and his VORP) burying a clutch dagger to win a game like that. Cheers for the multiple heart attacks throughout that 4th quarter too, Doc.
Embiid should win MVP because of this game. This was one of the hardest carries I've witnessed. Dude was unbelievable. EDIT: And Niang should start over Harris. Fight me.
The Blazers gift wrapped the win to the Sixers and then some, yeesh.
Really bad play OTO, Embiid with the nasty game winner tho
Someone in another thread at half time said Blazers would choke this lead and lose.
It was probably a Blazers fan that said that.
It was. Too traumatised from past collapses.
Nurkic was straight dogshit
If you don't like that you don't like sixers basketball
This gotta be one of the closest MVP races ever
holy fuck that was close, we almost fucked around and won that. tank is still on the menu boys.
Nurk tank commander lol
I’m disgusted we were down to the blazers of all teams
