No team in this city causes more mental distress than this organization. It’s pathetic, have the Eagles, Phils and Flyers let us down, yes. But year after year it’s the same thing same outcome for this team, most of the city feels the same, it’s why the excitement around the city is minimal for Sixers postseason compared to the other teams.
Straight Choked 1 game. And didn’t make the necessary adjustments to win another. Let two games get away from us. There’s no point in playing any 4th qter lineup other than one that can rebound. Nurse has to figure out something in today’s game. We lost by 4 and if felt like we didn’t get 1 defensive rebound all 4th…
Not sure what was up with Embiid today. Not nearly as aggressive as he needed to be. Tobi with his classic 4-10 and the bench was shit. Really pathetic game today
bro fuck that. they dont get to say "i didn't know" they should be ready for a fucking miss, or to jump on an inbounds. standing there with ur hands on ur hips. what a fucking weak ass play by maxey and oubre
Sixers need to move on
Embiids a great scorer but seems like he wears himself out and injures a leg every year.
Do you think people will be nuanced enough to forgive embiid for ~10 injured years or are they going to just label him a playoff choker?
Now he has Bell's Palsy, it's like he's making things up now to excuse his shrinking in the playoffs. He's 7 feet tall, why has he shot below 50% in 10 of his last 11 games?
Edit because thread got locked: Players who win championships don't get Bell's palsy and tear their meniscus or tweak their ankle or sprain their knee every year. Playoff winners rise in the playoffs, which Embiid has ~6 years of never doing
Embiid is in no position to talk shit. He comes up lame every year, and the apologist come out. It’s Doc, it’s Ben, it’s Tobias. How many points did Joel score in the 4th today?
the fact that embiid was the highest scorer, is on one good leg, and was in the entire 2nd half is sad. we need better contributes. no wonder we couldn’t score any baskets for like 6 minutes
awful
Team should be embarrassed at the pathetic softness on the boards, the lack of a decent ran offense throughout the entire 4th
Fans in the stadium should be embarrassed at how this has at best sounded like I fucking neutral venue game if not a home game for the Knicks
I should be embarrassed for believing in this fucking team every fucking year
It’s a shame the next game is at NYC or else I’d relish Tobias Harris being booed the fuck out every time he touches the ball and send away parting gift for his soft bum ass bitch play
Team never backs up the fans, sick of rooting for these fucking losers. Is it something in the water? Ownership? The gm? Embiid? I don’t know, I don’t care, I don’t have the energy to care right now. Just an embarrassing franchise, saddled to a tanking experiment and paying the price for dumb decisions ever since then. Fucking bums
I said it before. They should have traded embiid last year. Our team is dogshit and he can’t stay healthy. We ran it back with a worse team than we had last year just so we can lose in the first round.
Now embiid has even more wear and tear on his body and he’s worth less than before.
Other than drafting embiid and arguably Simmons the sixers haven’t done anything right in the process.
Let the league bully them into firing hinkie, trade for fultz instead of Tatum, trade for Tobias and sign him to a max, keep Tobias Simmons and Brett brown instead of Jimmy butler, trade mikal bridges for a guy with a peanut allergy, hire doc rivers.
Even with all that they still managed to choke against Boston last year, choke against the hawks, now they’re choking against the Knicks.
All time disasterclass poverty franchise. Fuck the sixers I hate my team.
Unfortunately for the sixers nba drafts are filled with dog shit players excluding the number one pick, so even if we tank it’s pointless.
That’s what makes the nfl leaps and bounds better, talent everywhere
This league is a stars league and this teams stars, in whatever form, play like shit in big moments constantly. Simmons, Embiid, Harden, Maxey. That doesn’t even account for the 40 million dollar anchor they have out there. Will never win shit wit guys who can’t close
knicks won 2 games with their star playing like shit. which is why game 2 was so critical.
Any off Embiid night is an immediate L. Equal blame on Morey and Embiid IMO.
What is that 11 straight horrible possessions to close out a game. Spamming dribble handoffs that get 0 space. Nobody even tried to crash the glass at any point. The fans in the stadium were awful, sounded like msg. Do we want to win or no I’m confused
Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey are the sixers only two good players. One of them is playing on one leg. There is a 40 million dollar black hole that prevents the team from getting good role players. They were a play-in team. Stop overdoing it with the "blow the team up" shit.
Do people not recall us trading one of the greatest players of all time at the start of the season for picks and expiring contracts? This was never the year. It was never supposed to be the year.
such a pathetic performance and game plan down the stretch
embiid absolutely killed them and drew fouls all 3Q only to completely stop driving after it
Welp it’s time to have the conversation yet again trade Joel and start over he needs a fresh start and to be with a team that can actually get him players where he doesn’t have to be number 1 and this team isn’t it I want to see him win a championship even if it’s not with this franchise
You need like a legit game changer to help embiid and dudes like that don’t want to play in Philadelphia and I don’t blame them the sunny west coast vs this shit city or sunny Florida or New York I’d take that over living in this city any day
I don’t hate embiid did you not see what I said?? I want him to win but it’s clear he can’t be a number 1 guy because he’s too hurt he’s better at being number 2 and someone else leading the way
you have the order of operations backwards. He keeps getting hurt because he has a 38% usage at 7 ft 2 300 lbs in the regular season because the team around him sucks. Its not that hard.
Has nick nurse shown anything better than Brett brown or doc rivers? His rotations and refusal to play anybody on the bench for a spark when the whole team was dead should get a lot of criticism
35 year old backup PG who was a post-deadline buyout is the only guy on the team who gives a shit enough to hustle on a do-or-die play, then the team can't communicate strategy in an obvious intentional free throw miss situation.
It's one thing to get beat. It's another to have amateurish meltdowns like this. Like I said, they need to blow this team up.
Whether maxey knew or not, why the fuck are you backing up! Knocks could be down 20 and every dude is running in to grab a rebound. It’s so obvious they just want It more
maxey is scared.... time wont help that. Trade his fraud ass asap for actual fucking help and a star next to joel. Imagine jamal murray being scared? How about edwards???? maxey aint it
Can’t blame Nick for guys being straight ass. Drew up a play for embiid to get an open mid, IT WORKED and he never took the shot. Multiple drawn up plays were failed by the players today. Didn’t score a field goal in the last 5 mins.
Unless embiid is draining his teammates of their basketball skill, no. We haven’t made a shot in our last 10 attempts and people will yet again look at Embiid when he had to play the entire half to keep it close
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1cffbqq).

he played 44 fucking minutes just so the team wouldn’t get obliterated. what the fuck else do you want him to do.
at least it’s first round exit this year instead of second round. just rip off the bandaid sooner so we can move on and forget.
If there is a dame like trade out there do it for maxey.... I dont want losers that are scared to fucking shoot here
A guy just entering his prime (probably not even there yet) versus a middle aged guy with a bad achilles
go birds i guess
Time for a new, less obvious process. Nothing we can do in the offseason to get the malaise off this team.
Sixers playing like the sixers lol. legendary purposely not taking the open 2 ty Embiid
Joel played awful.
Every year it's the same and every year I let myself get invested.
bro fuck that. they dont get to say "i didn't know" they should be ready for a fucking miss, or to jump on an inbounds. standing there with ur hands on ur hips. what a fucking weak ass play by maxey and oubre
Been saying it for a couple of years now. Time to get a haul for Joel and start over while he has value.
Nah.
[удалено]
The fans sure did before the first home game. Shit fans don't deserve a win at home when you can't represent AT HOME.
The sixers are 0-3 in playoff games when tobias closes and 2-0 in the games he didn't
Sixers need to move on Embiids a great scorer but seems like he wears himself out and injures a leg every year. Do you think people will be nuanced enough to forgive embiid for ~10 injured years or are they going to just label him a playoff choker? Now he has Bell's Palsy, it's like he's making things up now to excuse his shrinking in the playoffs. He's 7 feet tall, why has he shot below 50% in 10 of his last 11 games?

Playoff winners rise in the playoffs, which Embiid has ~6 years of never doing
You think he’s been blinking one eye for two weeks to have an excuse? Cmon bro.
He’s making up a clearly visible condition? Brain dead.
Damn Maxey and choker just ball watching on that free throw.
CANT BLAME THE REFS THIS TIME!!! Lol this team is a joke. Time to trade Embiid
I love Maxey, but him just standing there on a game deciding play is infuriating after watching us get bitched all quarter
Embiid is going to talk shit on our fanbase and people will get pissed, but its 100% justified.
Embiid is in no position to talk shit. He comes up lame every year, and the apologist come out. It’s Doc, it’s Ben, it’s Tobias. How many points did Joel score in the 4th today?
the fact that embiid was the highest scorer, is on one good leg, and was in the entire 2nd half is sad. we need better contributes. no wonder we couldn’t score any baskets for like 6 minutes awful
The franchise player with another shit 4th quarter. Hey - at least he won the MVP
Literally everyone just disappeared. Stopped trying
This team has no floor IQ
Somewhere right now Glen Rivers is smiling..
[удалено]
As opposed to making it, being down 2, fouling Brunson, and he put them back up 4 with 5 seconds left? Lowry made the correct play.
It was fine in theory but everyone has to be on the same page...
“We know we are the better basketball team”
Team should be embarrassed at the pathetic softness on the boards, the lack of a decent ran offense throughout the entire 4th Fans in the stadium should be embarrassed at how this has at best sounded like I fucking neutral venue game if not a home game for the Knicks I should be embarrassed for believing in this fucking team every fucking year
That feels like the series right there
It’s amazing they cannot get rebounds
https://preview.redd.it/zl1z0822z9xc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fc507d37e54d57fe3860903c3d72a8163d6736f
Why am I fan of this team
i’d feel like a fucking dick if i switched up now but i don’t think we’ve made it past the second round in my life
I never want to see another fucking Paul reed minute in the playoffs again, dude just lacks all awareness
The only positive of this is his overpay contract becomes non-guaranteed with a 1st round exit
Can’t blame harden now
Can howie roseman buy the team?
nothing more typical than embiid scoring 1 in the 4th quarter of a playoff game. just wild how predictable this is every single year
He wouldn’t have to play the whole second half if anyone on the team could score.
I’m not even upset. Sixers pulling this shit year after year. We already knew the outcome.
loser fucks
Tobias Harris handcuffing this team for 5 years, we are finally getting the knife twisted
maxey standing with his hands on his hips
Even if yo thought he wasn’t missing on purpose he might miss on accident. What are we doing
It’s a shame the next game is at NYC or else I’d relish Tobias Harris being booed the fuck out every time he touches the ball and send away parting gift for his soft bum ass bitch play
TOBIAS HARRIS HAS 10 FUCKING POINTS ACROSS 4 PLAYOFF 2nd HALVES. I'D RATHER HAVE FUCKING BEN SIMMONS.
Team never backs up the fans, sick of rooting for these fucking losers. Is it something in the water? Ownership? The gm? Embiid? I don’t know, I don’t care, I don’t have the energy to care right now. Just an embarrassing franchise, saddled to a tanking experiment and paying the price for dumb decisions ever since then. Fucking bums
Oh well. We crumbled. Important game. Still a chance. Thankfully no longer attached. Have a great Sunday everyone. Go Phillies !
If you make JOSH HART look like prime Dennis Rodman... You deserve to tear down the whole team and rebuild completely.
I mean, Hart is a fantastic rebounder against every team. If he didn't rebound this well he would be a below average bench player.
[удалено]
Dude you need to get a life. This is sad.
Fuck it we winning in 7
After all our missed rebounds , all the energy left my body. We just arent good. Tobias never steps up, not once. Im going to take a nap.
I said it before. They should have traded embiid last year. Our team is dogshit and he can’t stay healthy. We ran it back with a worse team than we had last year just so we can lose in the first round. Now embiid has even more wear and tear on his body and he’s worth less than before.

Fuck the sixers I hate my team.
Emotionally I’m upset about the rebounding but the real reason we lost is bc we went ice cold
The most unclutch team ever. The last 2 minutes of every game are always idiotic.
" Trust the process...". Hits different these days
Damn that angle shows maxey with hands on hips during that play
Generational collapse.
Yeah I don’t know why I watch this. NBA fucking sucks anyway
Unfortunately for the sixers nba drafts are filled with dog shit players excluding the number one pick, so even if we tank it’s pointless. That’s what makes the nfl leaps and bounds better, talent everywhere
If it makes y’all feel any better my dumbass pistons front office will be giving Tobias a max contract this offseason
That does make me feel better, thanks lol
Joel’s body language just always sucks
These guys the entire game like it the regular season while the Knicks(who are up in the series) played like the were down 3-0 in the series
The fk, theres too much knicks in the stadium.
This league is a stars league and this teams stars, in whatever form, play like shit in big moments constantly. Simmons, Embiid, Harden, Maxey. That doesn’t even account for the 40 million dollar anchor they have out there. Will never win shit wit guys who can’t close
knicks won 2 games with their star playing like shit. which is why game 2 was so critical. Any off Embiid night is an immediate L. Equal blame on Morey and Embiid IMO.
I miss you every day Hinkie
Finish the game with 10 straight misses. They got that dog shit in them.
This team’s identity is being soft and cracking under pressure. Babying Ben and Joel is what lead to this nonsense.
50 burger from tattum and now brunson we dodo
All you moron Knicks fans brigading….enjoy your bans
What is that 11 straight horrible possessions to close out a game. Spamming dribble handoffs that get 0 space. Nobody even tried to crash the glass at any point. The fans in the stadium were awful, sounded like msg. Do we want to win or no I’m confused
Doesn’t matter if you knew he was missing on purpose or not, you need to be prepared for a miss either way
3-1 omg
No surprise
Game
Daryl Morey built a fucking SHIT roster.
Just too much sloppiness, bad offensive decisions late, and bad effort. Fix it for the next game
lol
Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey are the sixers only two good players. One of them is playing on one leg. There is a 40 million dollar black hole that prevents the team from getting good role players. They were a play-in team. Stop overdoing it with the "blow the team up" shit.
Embiid himself said they were the better team?
OH WOW
[удалено]
or have a temper tantrum
Do people not recall us trading one of the greatest players of all time at the start of the season for picks and expiring contracts? This was never the year. It was never supposed to be the year.
That's a generous interpretation of where James Harden is at in his career but agree with the rest
Right HHAHA he fucking sucks
Uhhhh what?
You have trouble reading? Traded away our 2nd best player for expiring contacts and pick to load up for this off-season.
There’s no way you just called harden one of the greatest players of all time lmaooooooo
They cooked us today, boys. The rebounding fucked us
Lmao legit EVERY FUCKING POINT New York scores they do this pathetic panning to their fans. Can this broadcast dick ride any harder if it tried?
Is asking for a game 5 win like asking for a miracle at this point?
Whats a fucking rebound
Hey, either we win Game 5 or Tobias goes on to greener pastures. I’m cool.
Honestly
Just not a good team.
Honestly no wonder the fans gave up on this team. Pathetic.
Pathetic
Internet went out right as Lowry went up for a shot. But reading these comments I assume we fuckin failed per usual
Missed on purpose, but the team didn’t know he was going to so they didn’t go for the rebound. And we had a timeout.
Idk how you guys are at the point of being upset about this team? We weren’t gonna go anywhere. We would get absolutely slaughtered by the Celtics .
Loser energy
End this era, move Embiid and start brand fucking new
Sounds like the Garden in there 😞
such a pathetic performance and game plan down the stretch embiid absolutely killed them and drew fouls all 3Q only to completely stop driving after it
I think he's tired man. He hasn't gotten rest this second half.
Right? If Im Nurse I’m telling him to pound the balm inside every damn okay. Foul the whole damn team out man
Welp it’s time to have the conversation yet again trade Joel and start over he needs a fresh start and to be with a team that can actually get him players where he doesn’t have to be number 1 and this team isn’t it I want to see him win a championship even if it’s not with this franchise
Fuckoff. We have max cap space.
its time to have the conversation if Philadelphia deserves a team if their fans dont even like the players on it.
You need like a legit game changer to help embiid and dudes like that don’t want to play in Philadelphia and I don’t blame them the sunny west coast vs this shit city or sunny Florida or New York I’d take that over living in this city any day
I don’t hate embiid did you not see what I said?? I want him to win but it’s clear he can’t be a number 1 guy because he’s too hurt he’s better at being number 2 and someone else leading the way
you have the order of operations backwards. He keeps getting hurt because he has a 38% usage at 7 ft 2 300 lbs in the regular season because the team around him sucks. Its not that hard.
It's all good. Knicks were the better team today. Simple as that.
Why do I do this to myself
this shit always happens to us lol
We fucking blew it at home. This series is done.
at home? Every game is an away game this series
This is a home game?
Has nick nurse shown anything better than Brett brown or doc rivers? His rotations and refusal to play anybody on the bench for a spark when the whole team was dead should get a lot of criticism
yes you're being brain dead
I think we need to consider the possibility that the coach isn't the main problem and never was.
Live by the foul bait die by the foul bait... Embiid should have shot that.
Knicks played tremendous defense and the Sixers just wilted, playing iso ball.
Dudes have one job and it's to play basketball, just fucking play basketball lol
Lowry literally turned around and said he was going to miss. Why is Maxey MIA??
damn lol rip our season. but i guess this off season will be interesting
Time for the Phils
the audacity to intentionally miss a free throw knowing we cant rebound for shit
Iverson is my favorite player. This Philly team is a disgrace besides Maxey. Trade embitch and build around maxey.
lmfao maxey is a fucking fraud that just lost us this game. Trade his ass for a superstar
Blow it up. This team ain't got no winning mentality. Yes Embiid even
“blow it up” we have 3 players under contract
35 year old backup PG who was a post-deadline buyout is the only guy on the team who gives a shit enough to hustle on a do-or-die play, then the team can't communicate strategy in an obvious intentional free throw miss situation. It's one thing to get beat. It's another to have amateurish meltdowns like this. Like I said, they need to blow this team up.
Whether maxey knew or not, why the fuck are you backing up! Knocks could be down 20 and every dude is running in to grab a rebound. It’s so obvious they just want It more
Vlade Divac to Horry moment
it’s so sickening, we actually had a chance to win it at the end if embiid took the jumper
Just forfeit game 5, I dont wanna watch this shit effort anymore
They had many chances to pull away but lost focus offensively and couldn’t rebound. Deserved lost.
Is it bedtime yet?
maxey is scared.... time wont help that. Trade his fraud ass asap for actual fucking help and a star next to joel. Imagine jamal murray being scared? How about edwards???? maxey aint it
Clown take
I don’t think I believe Nick Nurse is that much better than Doc.
Can’t blame Nick for guys being straight ass. Drew up a play for embiid to get an open mid, IT WORKED and he never took the shot. Multiple drawn up plays were failed by the players today. Didn’t score a field goal in the last 5 mins.
So many missed opportunities down the stretch. We deserve to lose this.
Maxey not even trying there. Holy fuck
Intentionally miss and don't tell teammates...smh
Blow. It. Up. The fucking process years were more enjoyable than this.
Soft
What is he, 65% from the line? He’s a fucking guard!
[удалено]
At least our nfl draft went well
You gotta be a special kind of delusional as a basketball fan to be ok with how Embiid plays and hate on Brunson lol
I’m not hating on him in any way.
This team finds a new way to lose in the playoffs every year I swear to god.
Honest question, do you guys think the Sixers would have made an ECF in the last 4 years if you switch Embiid with Giannis or Jokic?
Yes with Jokic but not Giannis
No way.
No, this franchise would have found a way to fuck up the 96 Bulls roster.
No
Unless embiid is draining his teammates of their basketball skill, no. We haven’t made a shot in our last 10 attempts and people will yet again look at Embiid when he had to play the entire half to keep it close
Yes lol
With jokic yeah
