loving these officials so far. Letting them play, but calling when it is little too much. So far, so good. 

 

[Insein]

Is this a WNBA game? Down 6-3 after 6minutes of play. Sixers very fortunate that Toronto has decided to suck also.

 

[need2know]

Sixers look like crap

Sixers look like crap

not all of them. Embiid looks about as horrendous as he can be (the healthy version, not the zombie sick version). Ben has been looking good, but Embiid even when he doesn't have the ball is getting in the way on offense. Dude needs to wake the F up. Hoping the Sixers do too, or this will be like the last game in Toronto and just keep rolling

Game 7s usually very tight.  

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Really hoping my annual doomed raps to win the east bet can last a few more days.

 

[modogg]

Sixers 2-14 with 3 turnovers. That is not great.

Love hearing with Joel doing terrible, that Ben is picking up the leadership, and picking Joel up. Great if Joel can get some more baskets in a few feet of the basket to build up

have some good money on this one.  Can we avoid the dreaded 71 point 2Q? 

 

[zoonation]

Neither of these teams are beating the Bucks.  Brick city.  

 

[Insein]

Joel should be on the low post like 80% of the time and drawing fouls. He's shooting jumpers. Was he out partying last night?

 

[Capella]

Any guesses on the Warriors/Blazers series price?  -240?

-320

 

[ffldrew]

Well that was a typical Nuggets playoff collapse. They have done this so many times one becomes numb. Poor shooting, Poor FT shooting, players disappearing and getting exposed on D - are all hallmarks of Nugget playoff failures in the past and today. Now we will see if they have reached their high water mark. I'd imagine they have - Beasley, Barton, Morris, Plumlee are looking like JAGs in the playoffs. Murray was exposed in clutch shooting situations and in this series on D.  Milsap's days are over. Harris can't shoot consistently. The bench is great in regular season but disappeared in the playoffs and I don't see a way to fix it in the off season. They will have to find some one who wants to join the Joker - at least his game will invite a few players to at least consider Denver.  Sorry to not share the optimism so many have for them - they have done this in the past only to get washed out in the outgoing tide.

Way to sell it, Embiid.

 

[Thunderlips]

Philly, playing like poop.....1 point down.

Hit his head but without the fall, they don't notice.

 

[Capella]

Yea I can’t really think of a realistic number I’d bet Portland at.

I posted above.  Warriors are -463

that's the most brutal flop of these playoffs so far

 

[Insein]

that's the most brutal flop of these playoffs so far

He hit him in the head. It was a foul. If he didn't fall to the ground, the refs don't call it. That's how ridiculous the NBA is right now.

 

[Insein]

Amazing to be down only 4 points after how horrible a half they had. 

Whoever has that 3rd quarter Burst is going to win this game.

he gently caressed the top of his afro like your girl does the first night she lets you kiss her

 

[need2know]

Right  there sixers hang in there 

 

[tjnc09]

Can either of these teams compete with the Bucks?  

 

[modogg]

that's the most brutal flop of these playoffs so far

watch Lowry for a bit....

 

[Thunderlips]

TAKE THAT BALL UP SIMMONS! CHRIST!

 

[modogg]

the beginning of every 2nd half of a game in Toronto has like 30 fans there. always funny how empty the arena is

 

[modogg]

i don't know what the hell is wrong with Embiid, but he has just been terrible all game. All of his passes with one hand, every drive he jumps out with a fadeaway. What the hell dude?

 

[Thunderlips]

I get those that defend Simmons. I really do. But I also get all those 50 year old YMCA basketball playing WIP callers who take the ball up harder under the basket than Simmons and who shoot better than Simmons.

 

[modogg]

Maybe the Raptors and Sixers are playing like this to not show any real game film to the Bucks? 

 

[modogg]

man, you can tell this series wore down Kawhi a ton. I think you could start seeing Game 4 or 5, but at this point the guy is just beat and exhausted. 

 

[mr. furley]

Toronto going to make sure Leonard takes every shot the rest of the way?

 

[Thunderlips]

PHI deserves to lose this just on their inability to stop TOR from getting O-rebounds. 

 

[modogg]

after watching this series, Marc Gasol has to be the one of the most annoying dudes in the NBA. It isn't that he complains all the time, but when he does he looks like such a fool

 

[modogg]

fingers crossed that Butler has sucked all game on purpose to save it up for the 4th Q. 

 

[Insein]

Well the season comes down to a quarter. I feel like it's first one to 95 wins.

 

[modogg]

Joel, please stop with the 3s

 

[modogg]

how the hell is that a foul on Simmons? Really wish they did a better job showing replays when clock stops of plays like that

 

[dickey moe]

Streaky game.

 

[modogg]

that's a flagrant 1 on Gasol. Same shot Embiid gave him

ETA: that the dopey NBA never rescinded

 

[need2know]

Offensive rebounds  killing sixers

 

[Insein]

Offensive rebounds  killing sixers

Yep. They have about 15 points off of them. Difference in the game right now.

i'm not sure i have seen them box out once tonight. both teams have a few things to look at when one of them loses this

 

[mr. furley]

great inbounds play call by the Raptors there... wtf

 

[modogg]

if this game goes OT, my wife is going to throw a shoe through the screen missing GOT for this

 

[Rodrigo Duterte]

Nice reverse somersault by Reddick there.  Might as well start adding style points on the flops.

 

[Insein]

if this game goes OT, my wife is going to throw a shoe through the screen missing GOT for this

My wife doesn't care about GOT and neither do I. Still let's get a sixer W in regulation please.

 

[modogg]

ugh, no excuse for a shot clock violation in this situation

 

[dickey moe]

Kawhi wants it.

 

[mr. furley]

Kawhi wants it.

6-7 in the 4th so far
