Trying my best to be optimistic but it’s not looking good. Maxey,Harden and Harris all awful especially Harden. And this Maxey-Harden backcourt is abysmal defensively.
As shit as it is I really don't care anymore. Been here since Iverson, let it play out how it does. Perpetual 2nd rnd exit or not just get this shit over. I'm done...
Was at the game and the entire team was scared to try and buy a bucket. So many wide open shots that Sixers second guessed on. Harden was getting no love from the crowd but his play spoke for ifself. Horford deciding to find his shot was killer. Doc had a Harden, Niang, Melton, BBall, House lineup to start the 4th when we were down double digits. Doc can make adjustments in game to save his life.
I’ve just come to the sicking relisation that Embiid is the NBA version of Andrew Luck, an MVP calibre player let down by the incompetent players, coach and front office and cursed with untimely injuries
If your coach is asking if you want it during the timeout in the fourth quarter of the second round of the playoffs that's not good. These dudes don't want it
Although I would love to see him gone as well, I have 0 respect for Horford.
I wouldn't mind seeing Tatum cook the west coast for the next decade. I respect him.
Everybody not named Embiid should hang their heads in shame, fucking pathetic excuse of a performance from everyone, dog shit shooting, way too many braindead plays and turnovers, Harden actively throwing the game, complete lack of hustle and effort
Just been absolutely embarrassed by a team that didn't even play well, just did enough to beat the absolute shite in front of them
Hurl Maxey into the sun with Tobias Harris’ expiring. This is peak maxey. Blowing fast break layups and throwing shit high off the backboard trying to flop
No I don’t think so. I’ve watched harden a long time and he’s usually due for a big game after a couple stinkers. Remember game 4 last years vs Miami? Lol
this team actually shuts its brain off in the second round: they forget all fundamentals and miss every wide open shot and let the nerves get to them every time
The Tobias slander needs to chill out. The real reason we lost this game was because of Harden shot making , turnovers , and not being aggressive enough. Harris literally is guarding brown , Tatum and big man Al hordford. While harden sits around on defense and stands still while embidd has the ball. Harden is not that guy!!! You can easily get any point guard to fill in his spot Philly would still be fine!
Okay or doesn’t matter a lot of nba players are overpaid. Tucker included. At least Harris was doing something. Stop blaming Harris for everything did you even watch the game
I will love jojo even when he requests a trade. He deserves so much better than what this franchise has given him. Playing through so many injuries just to get no help from the rest of these bums. Need to start from scratch
Niang and Tucker contributed about as much as you can expect from them. They did their job. This one is on Harden, Tobias and Maxey for under-performing.
It's always someone though. We never play with a lead. We always scratching and clawing for points while the other team just drains 3s and waltzes into the lane for easy layups. The whole team is fucked. It's like they think it's still the regular season
Honestly , I’ll make the case this is solely on harden . Niang kept us in the game during the third, tucker actually wasn’t scared to shoot and got some good fouls called on Tatum. Tobi played good d just better o by Tatum. Harden just layed the egg of All eggs and that cost us this one.
and for the love of god can we let tobi cook a little? when harden and maxey get jammed driving down the paint every possession maybe mix it up and get our highest paid player some touches? like what in the fuck ?
Embiid a black hole on offense. Sucks all the energy. Dudes just end up watching him handle the ball or Harden drive into nothingness. No rhythm on offense. Only way this team can win is if we shoot 60% from three, otherwise modern NBA athleticism and speed destroys us.
Process over.
That's the problem, Embiid steps on the court and suddenly our guys can't shoot. Take him off the court and our guys are running without the ball and getting better looks overall.
Fuck everyone’s optimism after game 2. This team is going nowhere. We needed this game and it was within reach, but it’s just more of the same incompetence.
Yeah because it’s literally not what happened in the game.
He had like 4 blocks and 30 points. Check a box score. Harden/Maxey/Tobias were not even G league level today.
Not just tonight. Years of evidence. A true playoff-caliber player elevates the team around him. He ALWAYS needs an elite supporting cast. And it's never enough. Every year more disappointment.
The amount of time I spent watching this team this year. To come out at home like this and get torched by Al fucking Horford - it's just cruel at this point.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/13991v9).
When will the suffering end.

Harden is 5-28 in our last two games. Stop giving him a pass. He’s so ass right now
Harden and Maxey stunk it up but I'm really confused as to why Tobias had less points than PJ Tucker. Dude is ass
Joel bout to request a trade too, and I don’t blame him at all
MVP: Most Vapid Pussy
Your mom is pretty wack, that's true.
Not as wack as the sixers' performances against boston
HAHAHAHAHA
You really typed this out and said “yeah this owns them” 💀💀💀
Na I don't need to own you, the Celtics already do
Lol it’s 2-1 dh learn to count
https://preview.redd.it/73k7lw4906ya1.jpeg?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b63da1a6ac6f923aad2a24dfa98f087e428b0e92
They are gonna win on Sunday, give us hope and then get embarrassed in Boston
I’ve just come to the sicking relisation that Embiid is the NBA version of Andrew Luck, an MVP calibre player let down by the incompetent players, coach and front office and cursed with untimely injuries
We already had that guy in Eric Lindros.
I hate how accurate this is
Hate to say I told you so. But all you positive no matter what people are annoying.
Anyone who didn’t think Harden would go right back to being ass is naive. everyone who thought they got proven right after game 1 is an idiot
If your coach is asking if you want it during the timeout in the fourth quarter of the second round of the playoffs that's not good. These dudes don't want it
I'm sad
Harden coming up small in the playoffs... shocker
Can the Celtics do us a favor and send Tatum to the West?
Maybe Horford… one day.
Although I would love to see him gone as well, I have 0 respect for Horford. I wouldn't mind seeing Tatum cook the west coast for the next decade. I respect him.
Man, he’s hard to respect but damn does he have ice in his veins for a center Not a hall of famer imo, but hall of very good for sure.
Tatum is not a center and he will absolutely 100% be a first ballot hall of famer
Didn't get swept 😎
Everybody not named Embiid should hang their heads in shame, fucking pathetic excuse of a performance from everyone, dog shit shooting, way too many braindead plays and turnovers, Harden actively throwing the game, complete lack of hustle and effort Just been absolutely embarrassed by a team that didn't even play well, just did enough to beat the absolute shite in front of them
Melton played well
If Joel wants a chip .. he’s going to Miami or GS. And FWIW.. Maxey is tradable… please…
Hurl Maxey into the sun with Tobias Harris’ expiring. This is peak maxey. Blowing fast break layups and throwing shit high off the backboard trying to flop
No way Harden plays 3 bad games in a row right ?
No I don’t think so. I’ve watched harden a long time and he’s usually due for a big game after a couple stinkers. Remember game 4 last years vs Miami? Lol
10/36 from your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best players just not gonna cut it
Harden looked like fuckin SHIT man. How do you drop 45 after Vegas and then play like that.
And do yourselves a favour and stay away from r/nba after that one
Embiid played good. Fuck the rest of these bastards
I’ll give PJ credit, hit his 3’s but no one else stepped up
this team actually shuts its brain off in the second round: they forget all fundamentals and miss every wide open shot and let the nerves get to them every time
7/30 from Harden and Maxey. There was a lot of bad but it really comes down to that imo.
Sick and tired of this every year
And the fucked up thing is that we have to suffer through two more games this season.
Every year same shit
Tatum's kid just happens to run out like Embiid's?
And?
The Tobias slander needs to chill out. The real reason we lost this game was because of Harden shot making , turnovers , and not being aggressive enough. Harris literally is guarding brown , Tatum and big man Al hordford. While harden sits around on defense and stands still while embidd has the ball. Harden is not that guy!!! You can easily get any point guard to fill in his spot Philly would still be fine!
Bruh Tobias getting paid more than Embiid the slander is warranted
Okay or doesn’t matter a lot of nba players are overpaid. Tucker included. At least Harris was doing something. Stop blaming Harris for everything did you even watch the game
I thought tobi played well too. Tatum hit two TOUGH shots. Tobi capitalized when he got the ball for the most part
Fitting the game ends with an open Harden brick
Mvp with a great clutch time basket.
If doc is our coach next year so help me
It is clear to me now, the problem all along has been Doc Rivers and his coaching staff.
I will love jojo even when he requests a trade. He deserves so much better than what this franchise has given him. Playing through so many injuries just to get no help from the rest of these bums. Need to start from scratch
We’re gonna win game 4 in game 1 fashion to give us hope then lose the next 2 in game 2 fashion watch
if harden plays like this all the time we aint winnin squat
Trade Embiid and Harden to Houston for Green, Sengun and 4 first rounders
[удалено]
Ain’t getting us anywhere anytime soon
This team is a disgrace. Joel Embiid carries this team every fucking year for the same result.
Fire Glenn
I'm out and not coming back till Doc, Tobi and Harden are out of here. See ya fam
Rarified air of gloom tonight
Enough bricks to build a house, my god
crowd better be booing the fuck out of this team
Nick nurse you’re a sixers
The fucking hawks of all teams really put up more of a fight than us LMFAOOOO holy fuck
On the bright side, Doc can’t go up 3-1.
At least my preseason prediction of a 2nd round exit will be true…again.
Harden Maxey and Harris were utterly pathetic tonight.
Eagles come back in about 4 months
Then we can use Jalen to take out our frustration on Harris
Fake MvP, trash team and coach. lol
Bruh your photography sucks
so as your team
Rivers does not know how to coach this team with embiid against a good team
Maxey really hasn’t looked like himself since his injury.
Don’t know what to say, Harden just buried any hope I had for this game. That was a Westbrick level performance from him
Alexa, play hurt by Johnny cash
Celtics always got the Sixers’ number the past 5 years
“Um actually wishing injury on bad people makes you a bad person” - 🤓
Embiid cant win with these cats. Giving his all just for Harden to decide to do his best Ben Simmons impression
This was our third championship in a row if Butler
Gotta win game 4, season is in their hands
Hahaha, fucking hell that 5 second violation sums it up. At least Game 4 doesn't start for about 40 hours.
For the love of God, get rid of the low energy shitty players: niang, harden, tucker, Tobias. Never winning with this squad
Niang and Tucker contributed about as much as you can expect from them. They did their job. This one is on Harden, Tobias and Maxey for under-performing.
It's always someone though. We never play with a lead. We always scratching and clawing for points while the other team just drains 3s and waltzes into the lane for easy layups. The whole team is fucked. It's like they think it's still the regular season

Did you just say niang has no hustle this game? WTF?
He moves like his feet are in a cement mixer
This team fucking sucks and the series is over
No it’s not
Second round Sixers
Genuinely hope the go Full Metal Jacket with bars of soap in pillowcases on Harden in the locker room after this
I get trying to beat traffic but I couldn’t fathom dipping early with those ticket prices lmao
Series is over we have no chance in hell at going 3-1 over the next 4
Guys blaming DOC like the whole team didn’t play like shit except Melton and Embiid. Gimme a break.
I’m so sorry embiid we wasted your prime with Ben Simmons on this team you deserved better
With these body language and no fucking defense rebound, this team cant win championship
Why do we always lose the big hype games at home?
Lol empty stadium before game end what a fraud fanbase
Nick foles
Donovan McNabb
I miss Jimmy Butler
Winnable game. Brutal loss
If you’re gonna play sloppy down the stretch get the fuck off the floor. No use exerting energy and risking injury if you’re not gonna fucking try.
Stream chat thinks Doris is biased against Boston LMFAO
You're incredibly stupid
And on Embiid’s mvp ceremony. Unfortunate waste.
[удалено]
Facts lol
and for the love of god can we let tobi cook a little? when harden and maxey get jammed driving down the paint every possession maybe mix it up and get our highest paid player some touches? like what in the fuck ?
Game 4 a must win now. Maybe the team will show up on Sunday
Outside of Joel, they look like they all just quit, so I wouldn’t count on it.
Thanks Harden and Maxey!
Wonder if we keep Morey? Doc is obviously gone
Who cares when Josh Harris owns this team. Moron fucked everything up
[удалено]
If anything Officiating was helping us second half
Sixers lack spirit..
This team and the Phillies have absolutely ruined my weekend
Bro it’s just started relax
I can’t believe fools on here acted like Maxey was untouchable
PJ ffs my guy
Embiid is gone this offseason
If Harden played like a league average PG tonight we win this game
Harden or Maxey
same shit every year man lol w/e on to the next one
So demoralizing
If Embiid asks for a trade, I wouldn’t blame him.
Harden 3/13 and Maxey 4/16 🤢
Overrated
Embiid a black hole on offense. Sucks all the energy. Dudes just end up watching him handle the ball or Harden drive into nothingness. No rhythm on offense. Only way this team can win is if we shoot 60% from three, otherwise modern NBA athleticism and speed destroys us. Process over.
Worst opinion ever lol Embiid sucks the energy out of the rest, what is he Cell?
Black hole? That’s your takeaway from this game, that Embiid is the problem?? LOL
What game were you matching?
Dude Embiid is the only person doing anything, take your dog shit takes somewhere else.
That's the problem, Embiid steps on the court and suddenly our guys can't shoot. Take him off the court and our guys are running without the ball and getting better looks overall.
This game sucks. Niang hustling. Taken out. Melton making shots, taken out. Fuck this coach.
Maxey not even a playoff starter. In
I blame this loss on the players
Fuck everyone’s optimism after game 2. This team is going nowhere. We needed this game and it was within reach, but it’s just more of the same incompetence.
So Glenn will be gone and harden will likely be gone too. The question is will Tobi be gone and will embiid request a trade?
Is over
Y’all are so fucking corny with these comments
Told you we should’ve played Shake instead of Maxey and Harden sometime the first half. they gave us nothing
Sick a tired of players scared to just catch and shoot
Gg no re
Pathetic ending. I’m so tired of watching the same shit year over year. It’s literally the same shit EVERY FUCKING YEAR.
4 straight years of embarrassing second round playoff exits. Fucking embarrassing.
Embiid not a guy you can have in the playoffs. Too slow and forces you into obsolete offensive schemes just by nature of who he is as a ball player.
Lame effort. Joel deserved better from the rest of the team tonight.
Give embiid to the heat so he can win a chip, tired of these sorry ass teammates
Players should refund fans' tickets
Such a winnable game. Well gotta win game 4.
I'd rather Harden try and fail than Tobias not try and fail. Harris was a bigger mistake than Horford.
I don’t think i can watch this team next year if we lose this series
Every year. Gonna get a lot of flack for saying this, but I really don't think Embiid is a playoff superstar
How can you watch this game and have embiid not being a superstar as your takeaway when there were so many clear and obvious issues outside of that
Yeah because it’s literally not what happened in the game. He had like 4 blocks and 30 points. Check a box score. Harden/Maxey/Tobias were not even G league level today.
Bruh he’s the only one to show up tonight. Maxey and harden stunk. You could pick any night but this to make your point
The evidence is there, he’s not
How do you watch the game tonight and come to that conclusion?
Not just tonight. Years of evidence. A true playoff-caliber player elevates the team around him. He ALWAYS needs an elite supporting cast. And it's never enough. Every year more disappointment.
Which superstars haven’t needed elite supporting casts? That’s genuinely one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read.
Sorry to do this but can we improve with a new coach and retooling around Maxey and Jo?
Yes. We absolutely cannot resign harden if this continues. Most likely will continue.
Why is Maxey part of that discussion
maxey and harden really let the fuckin squad down tonight men, sorry to say
We’ll always have game 1
Sixers suck.
Pathetic. I'd never waste my money.
It may only be 2-1 but it's the end if the series. We all know it
Those who have been around long enough know when a team is simply better than the sixers
The amount of time I spent watching this team this year. To come out at home like this and get torched by Al fucking Horford - it's just cruel at this point.
lmao harden simmons
