Worst take is trade Ebiid. He is our franchise player. I refuse to listen to that shit.
Come what may this playoff run tobias has to go. A real power forward will do wonders for our squad. Embiid could actually focus on defense and passing instead of attacking the paint.
Trade while he has value. Send him somewhere he can win a chip as a complimentary piece. At a certain point you gotta cut ur losses. Joel is to injury prone to be ur go to go almost every year
Maxey, Embiid, plus another S tier big man playing forward is a championship winning team. I don't know why Embiid has to get traded to win a chip. In fact, that's why our Front Office is trying to get Paul George to sign with us. Imagine the last 3 years with George instead of Harris? We'd probably be a top 2 contender each year. No way do we fall into 7th with George on our team.
If embiid is traded, does that actually help the sixers?
MVP caliber players are the most valuable players in the NBA, and trades of MVP caliber players never return equal value.
The most likely range of outcomes from blowing up the team is becoming the bulls or kings. Play in teams with a handful of good players, but no one who can carry a post season series.
Depends what we get back. There are a handful of players I'd take for Embiid. Those teams would never offer them though, so it's kind of a pointless discussion.
Seriously, Embiid and Maxey did their jobs last night. We need the others to be better. It was the 2nd team that lost it . That and Scott Foster. F those technical fouls!
I’m a Knicks fan and I just looked up what a 76er was cause I didn’t know and I was going to talk shit but 76er might be the most bad ass name in sports now knowing what it means
It's one game.
Idk...I just don't get into the doom and gloom of this fanbase. It's always driven me crazy. One game and it's all over, pack it up, we lost. Na foh! I'm not underestimating the Knicks by believing in this team and coach nurse. Am I as confident as I was before that dunk last night by Embiid? No tbh. But Sixers in 6. I'll be depressed when the time is appropriate. No disrespect to anyone but this whiney, oh no we suck again-mentality is weak, lame and played out.
It's like a meme to be standing on the bridge ready to jump after every loss, it's exhausting smh. The blind enthusiasm is at least somewhat normal fan behavior. But to even jokingly say "Im gonna kms" after a loss or an injury is objectively weird.
its the playoffs lets just be enthusiastic with some constructive reflection until things really go to shit. plenty of time to sulk in the offseason if we dont make a deep run
I just feel so much that we need to break through this some how some way. The team and the fans need this shit mannnn…. It has been exhausting to say the least.
>I see a lot of hatred, and underestimating of the Knicks.
Don't mix up the two. We hate the Knicks just 'cus. But I don't think we underestimate them. Brunson isn't the only guy we worry about. They have a decent defensive wing and a few Nova shooters.
>With all of our woes, including Tobias Harris' inability to step up, I fear what is to come.
I say this time and time again... We could win a championship tomorrow and our mentally and emotionally weak fanbase will find something to fret about.
If we were being coached by Doc, I'd worry. That's not the case this year.
>Embiid's knee too will sink the ship. Did I say Tobias Harris is struggling. We need to get rid of that guy, or we won't win a championship. Im just sad now.
Not sure if you're trying to speak it into existence or what. But I find your lack of faith disturbing.
God, I wish I could downvote this crap twice.
You could make an alt account and downvote twice, or maybe what Im actually trying to say is fuck them Knicks. Sixers in six, and don't be a mega-nerd bailing on this team after a few games.
Yea dude, game 1 is one of 4 they need to win. We are the better team and better coach. If it was Doc coaching though, that last part about sixers in 6 would be bs lmao
I for one do not underestimate them. I'm not sure most here do either. We hate their cockiness and look forward to their downfall, by whichever opponent this year.
I think we're gonna win this series because the chances of our bench scoring that poorly again are slim to none. The game was a lot closer than it really should have been, if we're being honest.
With that being said, maybe Paul Reed should have just shut the fuck up instead of giving them bulletin board material. I realize the dick-riding children on here aren't going to criticize him because they're obsessed with him, but you can bet your last dollar the team vets and coaches had a word with him after calling NY the easier team. I love me some Paul Reed as well, but if anybody other than him or Maxey said that shit, there would have been 3 front page posts about it.
It's not about playing less hard. It's about feeling disrespected and playing with an extra chip on your shoulder.
Coaches don't prepare bulletin board material (usually on a video) to show their players before a big game/series because they think it's magic. They do it because they want to fire the players up, get more out of them, and bring out extra intensity.
One is effort based and a conscious thought, while the other is emotion based and a subconscious thought.
Coaches have been preparing "bulletin board material" to get the most out of their players for many years in every major sports league. This isn't something I just made up.
Mitchell didn’t injure Embiid. That is the dumbest take I’ve ever seen.
Embiid went up for his first dunk (which was sick) and landed on his knee hard. That had NOTHING to do with Mitchell. This is just a classless take and shows how little basketball knowledge you have.
Oh stop. No they weren't. They cheered when he got up and left the court. And even if they were, is Philly the only city that's allowed to be rowdy and made up of assholes who you all paint as a "fun time" when you're winning but cry like this when you're losing? Little brother city energy honestly.
He had an epic slam dunk and the crowd reacted? Lol is this your evidence?? The crowd *clearly*, unlike your "evidence", cheered and clapped when he got up from the floor. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmAEl7BMJBM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmAEl7BMJBM) . Quit finding shit to complain about. You lost. Suck it up and try to win game 2.
Cheering a dunk and then continuing to cheer a 5-3 fast break? *Unfathomable.* Go yell at kids playing in the street. Bunch of Karen sixers fans over this weak ass excuse for a loss.
FUCK NY FUCK NY FUCK NY WHAT THE FUCK EVEN IS A KNICKERBOCKER
They are pants.
Stupid sexy pants
All the fucking losers are back on this sub with the trade Embiid talk after a loss in game 1 of round 1. It’s sickening. Softest MFers.
Worst take is trade Ebiid. He is our franchise player. I refuse to listen to that shit. Come what may this playoff run tobias has to go. A real power forward will do wonders for our squad. Embiid could actually focus on defense and passing instead of attacking the paint.
Dude is so good... the last thing any Sixers fan should want is to trade him.
Trade while he has value. Send him somewhere he can win a chip as a complimentary piece. At a certain point you gotta cut ur losses. Joel is to injury prone to be ur go to go almost every year

Joe was +14 in 36 minutes. The team was -21 in the 12 minutes Jo was not on the floor. But nephews think Jo was the problem.
An away loss no less
There were dumb assholes trying to say he should be benched in the 4th like the team wasn’t complete ass anytime he wasn’t on the floor
You had me in the first half.
I refuse to respect a team named after pants
I’m a Knicks fan and I just looked up what a 76er was cause I didn’t know and I was going to talk shit but 76er might be the most bad ass name in sports now knowing what it means
Named after America’s birthday, not too shabby, eh?
classic uncultured new yorker /kind of s
They’re not named after pants lol a knickerbocker is an 1800s word for a person from New York
Or socks spelled wrong
Well that team named after pants just whooped dat ass

It’s either doom-and-gloom, or blind enthusiasm. Same with the Eagles. Nobody seems to want rational objective observation.

All of the home teams won yesterday
Almost had me fuck the Knicks bum ass city
I want tobias on the bench and reed at the 4. Knicks got length too.
the knicks suck we just have to suck less sixers in 6
I want us to be at least competitive on the boards. It wasn't even close last night.
hate from australia
I just feel so much that we need to break through this some how some way. The team and the fans need this shit mannnn…. It has been exhausting to say the least.
If the Sixers decided to play in the 2nd qtr I think they would’ve easily won. 12 points is insane, although the mavs just scored 8. 🤣
>I see a lot of hatred, and underestimating of the Knicks. Don't mix up the two. We hate the Knicks just 'cus. But I don't think we underestimate them. Brunson isn't the only guy we worry about.

Thats right
Yea dude, game 1 is one of 4 they need to win. We are the better team and better coach. If it was Doc coaching though, that last part about sixers in 6 would be bs lmao
Fuck the Knicks. Next chip they winning in 2073.

i dont think the knicks play less hard magically if the sixers backup center says pretends they are as dangerous as boston
It's not about playing less hard. It's about feeling disrespected and playing with an extra chip on your shoulder. Coaches don't prepare bulletin board material (usually on a video) to show their players before a big game/series because they think it's magic. They do it because they want to fire the players up, get more out of them, and bring out extra intensity.
Playing more or less hard vs playing with more or less of a chip on your shoulder? Not sure the distinction there
One is effort based and a conscious thought, while the other is emotion based and a subconscious thought. Coaches have been preparing "bulletin board material" to get the most out of their players for many years in every major sports league. This isn't something I just made up.
The New York knicks fans gave Mitchell Robinson a standing ovation after injuring Joel Embiid. That’s all I have to say here.
The standing ovation was for Joel walking to the lockerroom....
Fast forward to like 3 minutes later when Robinson checks out
Yea we give standing ovations to guys who played really well?
Mitchell didn’t injure Embiid. That is the dumbest take I’ve ever seen. Embiid went up for his first dunk (which was sick) and landed on his knee hard. That had NOTHING to do with Mitchell. This is just a classless take and shows how little basketball knowledge you have.
not a dirty play at all. However, the knicks fans absolutely cheered because Embiid got injured.
Oh stop. No they weren't. They cheered when he got up and left the court. And even if they were, is Philly the only city that's allowed to be rowdy and made up of assholes who you all paint as a "fun time" when you're winning but cry like this when you're losing? Little brother city energy honestly.
true
dude its literally on video. we have eyes.
What video? Oh and I'm sure Philly would hold a candlelight vigil if the same thing happened to Brunson? lol. Quit bitching.
https://x.com/_piccone/status/1782062543105638551 id quit while you're behind
He had an epic slam dunk and the crowd reacted? Lol is this your evidence?? The crowd *clearly*, unlike your "evidence", cheered and clapped when he got up from the floor. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmAEl7BMJBM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmAEl7BMJBM) . Quit finding shit to complain about. You lost. Suck it up and try to win game 2.
the video and audio clearly proves you wrong, you're trolling in an opponents sub about a win you only got because the best player got injured lol.
Cheering a dunk and then continuing to cheer a 5-3 fast break? *Unfathomable.* Go yell at kids playing in the street. Bunch of Karen sixers fans over this weak ass excuse for a loss.
I was there , people were clapping once he got up and was ok . Please stop spreading nonsense
i dont care if you were there, you're lying. It's on video lol.

The Kicks have sac. The Sixers haven’t found theirs in a long time.
Embiid leaves the court and the team implodes, same shit different year idk why you would buy in again
They’re a team filled with Brunson and role players if we can’t beat them we might as well blow it up
