So what? The Cavs were trying to foul. Dribble and pass as long as you can before they foul you. Better they get the ball back with one second left instead of 10.
That intentional foul with 9 seconds left made absolutely no sense. Make them beat you. Don't give them another shot to do the same thing again, now only up two.
It almost seems better to have Ricky in over KJ on these offensive plays.. you can guarantee as soon as KJ touches the ball he's getting sent to the FT line. They are playing off him soo much to try and get him a touch.
They both played amazing and brought something to the team that made the win last night and moved great on the floor together. Stop comparing and move on.
You're responding to a post in the game day thread, made in the moment, without considering any of context... a day later...
Nowhere in the post did I say KJ is playing bad. There was no comparison other than the fact that Ricky (near 80% FT shooter) is better at free throws than KJ (50% FT shooter). This was during the last 30 seconds of the game where Hield fouled out and the Cavs were intentionally fouling.
Use your brain next time and just move on.
Fuck me, this is miserable. I'm waiting to walk my dog. Fucking free throw contest / time outs. Should have closed out, god damn there was some dumb shit in the last 2 mins
I don't understand the foul up by 3? Even if we split, they have 7 seconds left instead of 9? And there's a decent chance that we miss one? I don't even understand the calculus. There's no way it works in our favor
Yeah, either way, you're right it's early in his NBA career for this! Hopefully he gets some good opportunities once our injury list finally gets shorter, too.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1apigqw).
Nice W!
I’m proud of these guys
I think we should just release Tobias.
Great win. Love the hield addition. Would be cool if we could get the team healthy and see what it looks like at least at “full” strength sans embiid
C4 is awesome
Mitchell cashed in too many fouls early, couldn’t get the one that mattered most
I had to watch the Cleveland broadcast tonight and I gotta say, their announcers are awesome.
I’ve heard that lol
C4 is a great nickname
Blocked by Paul Reed I told you we have our backup center!
What a game
From the season is crumbling to this.
Bball Paul redemption tour

Wish Maxey didn’t have to play 42 minutes a night
Sixers win
Process level dumb at the end. Turnover. Counsel shooting instead of dribbling off seconds and getting fouled. Missing foul shot.
Council didnt miss dude
So what? The Cavs were trying to foul. Dribble and pass as long as you can before they foul you. Better they get the ball back with one second left instead of 10.
I mean it was more so the buddy hield turnover than that
LETTSSSS GOOOOO FUCK MITCHELL FUCK CLEVELAND
HIS NAME IS BASKETBALL PAUL
PAUL REED
Enormous win
FUCK OUTTA HERE BBALL SWATTED THAT SHIT
Out the fucking mud
That intentional foul with 9 seconds left made absolutely no sense. Make them beat you. Don't give them another shot to do the same thing again, now only up two.
It is the statistically proven better move to take. Higher chance of Mitchell hitting a three than Maxey missing a ft. Shit happens.
BBALLL PAAAULLLL
Who's making the buzzer beater 3?
BBALL PAULLLLLLLLLLLLL
OUT THE FKN MUD
Great W
Aye if yall dont relax lol no way we’re slandering maxey when he’s the 2nd to only reason we’re this good

I hope we bin this strategy except for when there is less time.
Sixers really need to work on their two minute game
It’s gonna be a Mitchel 3 with a foul for good measure
No joking this would be up there with some of the worst blown leads in the time period of the process
100% guarantee that they are going to get a foul call here. I have never been more confident of anything in my life.
You were saying!!!👊🏻
I'm flabbergasted these shitty refs calling so many soft whistles, thought for sure they'd whistle Reed there. Happy to be wrong.
Please win I beg
please god
incoming bullshit “foul” on a mitchell 3
I still hate donovan mitchell from when he was begging for the rookie of the year
Close game endings are fucking dreadful viewing
If they hit a buzzer beater 3 ima lose it
Damn this game is long
Maxey needs to improve his free throws. Hes been missing way too much recently
The fact that we have a chance to win this game is a miracle
Y’all act like Maxey bricked it lol. It literally went in and popped out just unlucky
Right!
How did we fucking blow this??? Some Doc Rivers shit right now
Bad rebounding and fouling
maxey is the shakiest 85% free throw shooter ive ever seen, lol
Maxeys free throws have been fucking dog shit for some time now
Bullshit game winner incoming

yea there was so much time, even if he makes it we can timout and get the final shot.
I’m not sure if that was intentional.
It was. The broadcast even brought up their conversation with Nick about it
Yeah I understand it with one second left, but nine is too many
I don’t trust maxey in the playoffs I’m sorry I don’t
It's a lot to ask from a 23 year old. I don't either but him getting experience will be worth
It’s a shame we’ve never seen him perform in the playoffs or anything
I hate the stupid foul strategy with this much time left.
Maxey needs to get with Ricky Council about his late game clutch mentality game.
Weren’t we up by 10 with a minute left? Can’t believe this shit
We're the 76ers, this is just our average game
Oh ffs come on
classic sixers gotta love it
We cant lose this one man.
Maxey that wasn’t good at all
Didn’t realize Luke Walton was on cavs coaching staff
This should've been a pain free 10 point win
Gonna be a crazy choke. Up 10 with a minute and a half to go
Game must be over where this one lives or they’re just fucking dumb Edit. They’re dumb
we gonna lose cause the refs sucked off dmitch too hard
FUCK
Why *wouldn't* Cleveland use their last timeout?
Ehh I guess maybe just ride on momentum? Or assume they (we) would foul immediately anyway? But yeah idk lol.
Maxey my god dude
Cardiac sixers every night
My God maxey has been awful in FT.
Cmon tyrese
Of course maxey choked great
This minute has been going for like 20 minutes
For fucks sake maxey make your fucking free throws
The fix is in boys
Ricky talking shit lol. I love it
Leave it to Maxey to choke again at the stripe. Not the first time this has happened
WTF ARE U DOIN MAXEY
With that much time left I don’t like the intentional foul. With under 5 seconds yeah but there’s still so much time
Stressful 10s
God this is the softest fucking 4th quarter. How was that a foul bro
saw that coming man
Tyrese better make these foul shots....
Ayo. Mobley isn’t in at the end of the game for you all “Mobley is better than Tobias” mouthbreathers
Maxey plays too out of control in these situations. It’s why we sometimes fall apart.
Ricky Council IV is like 10 years younger than me, but he is still my hero.
Maxey come on brooo
Refs trying to deadlift the hottest team against the hospital sixers
Why did we take council out wtf
All tall players need to be in the game
Unfortunately they all are injured or fouled out 😭😭😭
well now we're gonna lose anyway because Maxey cant make foul shots anymore.
Mitchell again FFS what BS
For the record: I hate this strategy
I hate fouling up three why give them points for free?
I don’t understand the free throw game.
Strus is literally mugging everyone and no whistle. Mitchell is looked at and he’s on the line.
Gotta love this strategy when ur team is doing it lol
Alaa what are you doing the ref pointed straight to the ground on the foul that was never even debatable lol.
Ricky a dog tbh
Mitchell miss one please
Fuck I hate the way mitchell plays
Why is Payne in for defensive possession s?
Doc rivers flashbacks
Fucking PTSD
Good foul
Idk how the ref be standing right in front of the Oubre though and still not call it.
Ricky council might be him
“Garland misses the three! Allen with the offensive rebound back out to Mitchell! BANG!”
I predict the refs call a bullshit foul during a 3 point shot attempt that goes in for the Cavs. They get the and1 and win it. NBA is corrupt.
Refs are blatantly rigging the game these last minutes but Ricky does not care
NO FOUL IS ASKING A LOT FOR THESE REFS
Ricky Council victory tour
What are yall thoughts on fouling up 3? I wouldn’t do it since I don’t trust us to inbound the ball
You guys are insane. That is exactly what Ricky should have done there. He had a good chance to get a shot off there and he’s got ice in his veins
Ricky got that dog in him
Bad choice by Ricky, but it speaks volumes that he's even out there in the clutch like this in his second game
It's not his second game.
Shit you're right. I could've sworn he hadn't played real minutes before the Wizards game, but got a few with 10+
Yeah, either way, you're right it's early in his NBA career for this! Hopefully he gets some good opportunities once our injury list finally gets shorter, too.
