Playoffs

Losing the 4th 40-19 to piss away a 20pt lead is unbelievable.

I stopped watching the game at half.
Embiid had like 25 points and 10 rebounds.
I figured 76ers had it in the bag.

Ouch.

Look at that win probability chart wow

[twocoach]

Embiid and Curry were the only 2 Sixers to make a shot in the 2nd half. Sixers putting on a master class in how to choke halftime leads.

PG13 was a beast in the other game of the night. Huge win for Clips without Kawhi.

[pdub]

I wonder if Suns hoping Utah can win game 6.

Ouch.

Maybe this is how Wilt felt playing the Celtics all the time.

Weak charge call on Joel, then it gets chippy

[twocoach]

Pretty pathetic offense and free throw shooting by both teams in this half. Sixers holding on for dear life.

And they should trade Ben Simmons.

I want Marcus and Joel in the finals

Oh, I agree. He can't hit a shot if it isn't a layup. I am going to sound like Illi but Maxey was so much better in the game. He could hit a free throw, was aggressive and in this game was better on defense in my opinion. I give Maxey a lot of credit for this win.

I think a huge problem in the game today was Embiid didn't try to drive the ball. I didn't look at the box scores but he had to shot the lowest amount of free throws today that he has in the series. Free throws are so much a part of his offensive effectiveness. They have to make sure he is more aggressive. We all know he can hit those baseline jumpers but getting the other team in foul trouble helps so much for the whole team.

This would be a 'win/win' as a Jayhawk would get a ring but I would want Joel to win. That would mean I would be cheering against Marcus. I think Joel's chances to win one are lower due to longevity. Plus he is just bigger superstar for KU. Marcus will have a longer career than Joel but I think Joel has the bigger star power.

Joel and Marcus aren't even worth comparing. I don't think the 76ers stand a chance in hell at winning it all this year. Clippers, maybe. But not without a healthy Kawhi....if CP3 is healthy/playing then the Suns look like the better team right now.

I would rank the teams left
1. NETS
2. Bucks
3. Suns
4. Clippers

Embiid upset with refs.
He’s right.


“I just felt like it wasn't called both ways, especially because of the minimal contact that they get on the point guard, and when it comes to us, we don't get the same thing," Embiid said after Philadelphia came back from down 12 in the first quarter to win. "So I just want it called both ways. If you're going to call something like nothing on their point guard, it should be the same way and call the same thing [for] me when I get -- if I get -- touched."

Embiid did a lot of settling for bad long range jumpers down the stretch and didn't hit any of them.

[Sparko]

I like that Embiid stayed aggressive though. He is always open and can hit from anywhere. A Win.

Never gonna win with Harden and Kyrie on your team. Dysfunctional disaster.

[pdub]

They weren't healthy.
Harden was busted and Kyrie wasnt playing.
Still, I don't like either of em so I'm glad they are out.

I hope 6ers Hawks game 7 is just as good...with Embiid prevailing.

Would be good tv Embiid v Giannis.

Crazy talk. Prior to Kyrie and Harden going down they looked nearly unbeatable.

[pdub]

The three of them should be back with a different cast around them.

Griffin will probably return too.
