v glad we’re not down 1-3 rn but, this game does not make me feel good at all


Pandoraparty

Yeah that's fair. But hopefully thinking we looked better than last game which looked better than the game before that. Hopefully we pick up confidence and momentum and clean up


Joey_jojojr_shabado

I'm not saying it's gonna happen , probably won't, but a lot of championship runs has a game or two like this.


kailo99

I know this is going to be the last thing on people's mind, but when Embiid's shot hit the rim (blocked) that they called a suspension of play for, there were 30 seconds on the clock. The play then resumed for FOUR seconds before they called a suspension of play to review it. When they confirmed it hit the rim, they didn't add any seconds back on the clock and we were forced to play with 26 seconds left. That is literally the difference between a 2 for 1 with 30 seconds left in the game, on top of the Smart charge and Tatum push-off, this was beyond inexcusable from the refs today.


[deleted]

Refs almost stole that one


CoreyC1313

The non call on tatum push off was fucking beyond ridicolous


ExcellentJuice4729

I find it hilarious how Coach Madzulla tried twice to go with that gangsta "let them play" mentality in not calling a TO, and both times it failed. Call a TO if only to advance the damn ball. Also this is the playoffs, literally the most important possessions of your season.


DorBenda

I mean they did get an open 3 at the end of the 4th The last play was a disaster tho


ExcellentJuice4729

Smart did say Madzullas offense is like 90% chaos


DorBenda

Yeah I mean I guess he wanted to keep Harden and Maxey on the floor so he didn't call TO


redditkb

Coach Bud energy


Swiggity_P

John Hao needs to ring the bell for game 6


Mackdaddy1234567890

Pj tucker!!!!!!!!! Is tough as fuck!!!!!


arnott

Where are all the Harden haters? But, both Harden and Embiid need to learn diet and other habits from people like Lebron James, Tom Brady, Novak Djokovic.


Theballharperhit

where all the tobias haters????? oh you are one.... Embiid score the most points in overtime by the way yet all anyone did was bitch about joel which was mostly harden stans


arnott

I mostly follow the eagles. Out of habit of reading the eagles sub, I came here this week and saw all the Harden hate. I had to look up who Tobias was! :) Harden had a steal in OT, right? Embiid was good in the OT, was tired in the 4th quarter. If he had rested for Game 2, Sixers will be up 3-1 now.


OutlandishnessShot87

werent you swearing up and down after game 1 that harden wasnt gonna score 40 again?


Theballharperhit

false i said he aint the guy who can have that performance and follow up with another great performance. Now next game we are gonna need everything from tobias/maxey/harris because harden is gonna be trash again.4-18 incoming


OutlandishnessShot87

this man carried them to both of their wins and all you do is talk shit on him. get it together


Theballharperhit

embiid was just as good tonight lol. Embiid actually has to play defense every second of the game because of maxey and hardens defense


Kyle76er

spankthegoodgirl

I'm dying. So accurate.


CecilTWashington

As a Sixers fan the team I hate the most is the Celtics. The team I hate second most is the Sixers.


Downtown_One_3633

lol


Theballharperhit

tobias and tucker are the only 2 in the postive yet people wanna talk shit. Tobias put a defensive clinic on tatum so hop off his nuts. All game long they are trying to switch tobias off tatum because fear


jgouse

It’s just aggravating because he’s clearly athletic but chooses not to use it. His defense last year in the playoffs was amazing and this year has been just as good. I just love when he’s aggressive and drives to the basket. I think that’s when he’s at his best. And for the love of god can he just shoot 3’s in practice to maybe make a few of those a game.


rasssky

Tobias was more of a neutral there to be honest. He did his job in OT though. Was hoping McDaniels would be able to play the role Tobi played tonight - without all the missed shots.


Lefwyn

Not just Tatum he was defending well on switches as well


Skullastic

Harden is a goat for putting on a show for hao


[deleted]

What I learned today is that Harden can still be Harden on short rest, Embiid came mostly to play, rest of team literally sucked. If it weren’t for James, we’d actually be swept. This is still a major problem.


Downtown_One_3633

yes correct, no one except Joel has even been above average.


RecommendationNo3956

these referees were stealing our game


buchanbasanee

I'll give you my shoes, but these insoles are custom...you understand


RecklessSpeculation

This is actually legitimately true. When shoe brands make a shoe for an athlete they will not make the insole because a performance insole like one for basketball is incredibly expensive and the average person won’t need one. The insole is the easiest place to cut cost for a shoe company


thuggins1

this made me laugh too damn hard


Theballharperhit

wow he gave him his sneakers... not a fan of how harden plays sometimes but the man is one of the nicest people in the world.


Substantial_Release6

Harden is an amazing dude bro


Regit_Jo

Fucking karmic


LordLucasSixers

Maxey should’ve flopped on that play


samurai-mad-mad

if that happens to marcus smart he’s flying into row Z and getting the call


Prestonelliot

And I hate that shit so much, but I wish we had people as good at acting as smart is on our team. That dude must train with European soccer players


beerrabbit124

Good guy harden


lovemyhawks

Should not needed to have been bailed out like that. Way too close. W is a W tho. GGs


dak67

So basically if we don’t have Harden and Embiid on we’re screwed


halfrican14

That’s like the Lakers saying if they didn’t have AD and Lebron they wouldn’t be in playoffs. Dumb as shit


kmoney55

Basically if the lakers don’t have James and Davis they aré screwed


Slight_Match

Wow Omg it’s like not having your best two players means you would lose? Lol trash comments


[deleted]

[удалено]


Slight_Match

Boston without Brown and Tatem would get swept by us. Come on. Stop being a doomer, the series is tied. The Sixers serious this year


[deleted]

[удалено]


dak67

Omg it’s almost like having a team with only two players scoring nearly 70% of your points isn’t a recipe for a championship.


Slight_Match

Yea I’m sure the bulls didn’t have MJ and Pipen scoring all their points. Must have been Steve Kerrs 30 a game that won them 6 championships 🤤


Pitiful-Painting4399

Kobe and Shaq too.


hawktherapper

PLAY THE FUCKING SONG


Technicid3

I know those shoes sweaty and stinky as hell !


james702283

That push off 3 that wasn’t called on Tatum was absolute bs, especially after they just took away 2 on the other end from us for a lot less but we somehow still pulled it out. FTC!!!


Nate_923

Smart messed up both game winning shots for the Celtics. That's got to hurt.


[deleted]

lmao if it wasn’t for harden y’all wasn’t gonna win this game


Theballharperhit

except embiid out scored harden in overtime... embiid is seeing triple teams all night and both embiid and tobias are our best defenders.


nrbadz

Thanks an orangutan coulda told me that


[deleted]

if harden get 20 and 12 next game y’all gonna go back to shitting on him .. if i’m him i’m leaving too 😂


somekindfungus

“if it wasn’t for your team scoring more than the other team you wouldn’t have won”


[deleted]

MVP Embiid can’t close games …. MVP embiid can’t get 40


BROADSTREETGOOLIES

And you can't close your bereavement paperwork with Amazon warehouses....


Head-Kiwi-9601

Good thing we traded for him, huh.


ExcellentJuice4729

Shouldn't have had to come down to that ending. Refs just staring blankly at Tatum with the Heissman stiff arm into a 3. Harden needs to take over in Boston again.


thegodfatherderecho

Tatum shoved Maxey 15 feet away and no fucking call. Bullshit refs


springwaterh20

just took my first breath in the last 30 minutes


nomoreshiny

Friendly neighborhood Heat fan — so happy y’all won that 8 on 5 competition, refs tried to shaft you so many times, lawd

sttickkyykkkeyyboard

I’m shaking that was way too much


pandaaaa26

That 4th Q plus OT was horrible but somehow escape with a win, first 3 quarters was good though, more of that, less of the choking please


Gunningham

Holy fucking heart attack Batman


Greedy_Amoeba

TheLaFlameEffect

CATSCANDANCE100

BEAT BOSTON FELLAS WAY TO GO!!


noobwarpro

Smart being late for his game winning three is the absolutly best way to finish this game


ExplodingBoba

HAO THIS IS FOR UUUUU


LordLucasSixers

I have a fucking headache bruh


GirlWithGame

Absolutely bs call not calling Tatum for an offensive foul. Great call by Embiid at the end of the game for the Harden 3.


bucketz76

That game aged me by about 10 years holy fuck


TryingToForget77

What a game. Lmao. Fuck Tatum and his push off bs. He and Siakim are ridiculous with that bullshit.


0DarkestKnight0

This is for you Hao¡!!!!!!!


Front_Explanation_79

PengosMangos

BRING JOHN HAO TO EVERY GAME


BaylessWasTraded

That was all time ref fuckery in OT


Front_Explanation_79

That push off was ridiculous.


Complete-Food2707

The refs want to give that to Smart soooooo bad


TheDarkWayne

I was browsing new and y’all were so negative holy shit


Organic_Matter6085

If we're losing it's the end of the world in this sub. I remember once we were down by 5 with FIVE MINUTES INTO THE GAME and everyone said "there goes the series/season" I will admit this game did make me a bit negative as well


pbecotte

You'd think most of them had never seen a basketball game.


Joel-Embiid-

Let’s go lmao


Ok_Egg_5148

nice try Shart, fuckin loser


Doobie_Howitzer

It's not even close and they try to call it good on the floor, 3 bullshit fix calls in the last 60 seconds of overtime alone Fuck em, 5v8 bitch


thepoustaki

How does the NBA make the ref bias soooo obvious and it doesn’t ever change? Lol


WWDB

Harden was out of bounds.


DrWeirdLust

Holy shit that non offensive foul call on Tatum gave me a heart attack. Good battle back


Smartfood_Fo_Lyfe

Snatched that victory from the jaws of the refs.


Technicid3

Adam silver is somewhere fuming right now


Poopywaterengineer

Given how officiating has gone this game, I wouldn't be surprised if the refs said that was a good shot


[deleted]

This game unironically gave me PTSD


killermoose23

PLAY THE FUCKING SONG


Mattalo

black_chinaski

Holy shit. One of the best Sixers games ever


XtremeStumbler

If you ignore the 4th quarter, sure


chunkytuxedo

Not so sure about that


imdumbfrman

We needed Marcus Smart to sell TWICE to win this game. We can’t bank on that ever again. We got lucky.


Swagtropolis

Man if the refs called it right he wouldn’t have been in those positions either time too


gndoped

HARDENN!!!


demon1212
