2023-24 NBA (Playoffs!) Thread: “this team is really good” a terrified Minnesota fan mumbles to himself (25 Viewers)

[modogg]

It is pretty interesting the joy people get in here bashing Embiid and Philadelphia. I get when he was in his early 20's he was a bit immature, but it is kind of sad you completely miss one of the most gifted centers in the league for a good decade to just hate-watch.

I mean do you really think Embiid is getting gift calls in the playoffs in a home game for the Knicks?

On a game note, I wonder if Nurse is going to try Embiid for the whole 4th Q. The defensive effort with both of these teams makes me think it will be tiring for whoever gets out of this match-up

LOLOLOLOL

Even Van Gundy said the Hartenstein call was absolutely not a foul. Embiid has shot 11 FT's already.

Do we need to hunt down all of your Tatum/Celtics bashing posts in here?

the guys is playing on a torn MCL, and you feel the need to still try and act like he is not a good player. That is fine, enjoy watching the game

I've never once even indicated he's not a great player. He's nearly unstoppable. But I just believe he flops and flails his way into foul calls. Both things can be true.

You are the resident Tatum/Celtics hater around here, so maybe you are just projecting?

The what now?

 

[Frostillicus]

Tobias Harris's crappiness is kind of breathtaking.

 

[Insein]

Maxey is a killer

 

[Zow]

Maxey coming up huge.

 

[Jayrod]

Hart misses the wide open 3, then helps off Maxey to give a clean look. He's had a great game, but that's a rough back to back plays.

I don't know, that was rumor that he re-tore it in one of the recent games when he went down. probably a bad source, but it is obvious his knee just isn't working

 

[modogg]

Tobias Harris's crappiness is kind of breathtaking.

it has been very painful to watch all year. I would feel bad for the guy if he wasn't making as much as he is

Lol, he is still immature and gets calls. Rooting for Embiid if you aren't a 76er fan is like rooting for prime Harden and not being a Rockets fan or rooting for Kyrie ever.

He is a great player, just not likable.

 

[modogg]

I feel like the last 35 seconds of this game make no sense at all

 

[Mister CIA]

Whoa!

 

[msudaisy26]

What is going in this game!

 

[Insein]

These refs are a joke.

 

[modogg]

the difference between Nurse and Doc with having to draw up a play for this last 13 seconds can not even be measured

 

[msudaisy26]

These refs are a joke.

I know Maxey got away with a travel.

 

[Insein]

Total ********

 

[modogg]

These refs are a joke.

how they didn't call a foul when Maxey was getting tossed around is a bit beyond me

 

[msudaisy26]

That was a nice block.

 

[Insein]

Absolutely jobbed.

Lol - I appreciate modogg's effort anyway.

 

[AAABatteries]

lol @ Sixers

 

[msudaisy26]

There was no foul. Take off the homer glasses.

 

[The General]

What a finish. Amazing game in The Garden.

 

[ChicoCat]

What the hell just happened there?

 

[msudaisy26]

This is why no one likes the Embiid and the 76ers. They blow the game it is everyone else's fault. Coaches say it players say it and so do the fans.

 

[whoknew]

The Sixers have to feel sick.

 

[Insein]

These refs are a joke.

There was no foul. Take off the homer glasses.

He was thrown to the floor. Head coach still calls a timeout while he has the ball and doesn't get it. Take the hater glasses off for once.

Knicks got tricky tack calls all night and sixers got squat when they needed it.

 

[Dez]

What an awful loss by Philly

 

[Jayrod]

Finally an exciting game.

 

[Capella]

That Sixers final play was basically the shrug emoji coming to life.

 

[whoknew]

That was an awesome block by LeBron.

He wasn't. He fell trying to get a call.

Great to see the Garden rocking

More contact on that play than every foul for the Knicks combined all night.

I have no dog in this fight and I watched all the replays. It did not look like a foul on the angles the TV cameras had.

It wasn't. He is just an over the top 76er fan. He is the same guy that argued Siakim was dirty player for the elbow that hurt Embiid a couple years ago in the playoffs and defender Doc for keeping Embiid in the game when they were up 30 with 4 minutes left.

 

[modogg]

Isn't the Pistons season over?

 

[mr. furley]

lack of a plan and Maxey just absolutely shriveled in the moment. what a disaster.

 

[mr. furley]

please, whatever supernatural being you believe in, let the Sixers, Knicks and Celtics get knocked out of the playoffs asap so we don't have to read all this whining and bickering

I never said Siakim was a dirty player. I said it was a dirty play. And it was.

If you can watch this game tonight and not see the obvious no calls and ticky tack nonsense all night especially at the end, then I don't know what to tell you.

Sixers bench came up short and they couldn't get a rebound when they needed to but those were still fouls.

 

[msudaisy26]

Good one

Embiid caught the ball and just stood there. Tf am I supposed to do with this?

I don't think there are any whiner Knicks fans around here, are there?

 

[Insein]

Inbound play where maxey lost the ball. Brunson with full jersey turning him as he's trying to to catch it. Guess that's clean in the NBA.
