One of the worst performances in a long time from everyone except embiid and Melton.

Refs were some of the worst ever too.

Horrible and yet somewhat exciting game. 

The game and outcome is pretty much what I expect come playoff time.

harden's worst game as a sixer...i guess pat bev locked him up.

He bothered him a lot. But there were way too many forced pick and rolls from Harden to Embid. Bounce passes hitting defenders feet/legs. Other of Hardens passes getting tipped or picked. He was just horrible. 

Aside from him, Tobi didnt step up at all. We expect that now. Niang never hit any big 3s to help make a push. House is pretty worthless.

Maxey tried but didnt really have it tonight. He gets minimal shots throughout the game, and suddenly he has to be chucking harden step backs to try to win the game. Often times, he makes those. Last night, 2 air balls. Just wasnt anyone's night.

Only 2 players who did anything last night were Embiid, and Melton who had a bunch of big defensive plays, and ended up scoring pretty well too.

Refs took Embiid out of the game. He played in foul trouble most of the 2nd half. Too many times he had to let easy lay ins go without challenging. And he had to get less aggressive on offense. He was driving in the 1st half. Couldnt do that most of the 2nd half so he wouldnt charge. He ended up fouling out with only about 2 or 3 legitimate fouls. 

 

 

I kept saying he should go rest his foot more. He sucked so bad last night. He really hurt the team throughout the entire game.

A terrible injury as well. I think KD injured his and rested it then came back for the Finals and tore his.

Yeah..... That has future tear written all over it.

Definitely let him walk this summer. 

Harris seems to be getting worse and worse.

Embiid not playing & not on the bench for the 2nd half. Did they say what's going on with him? 

they were just saying right now, precautionary due to the busy schedule lately. Alah says this one is pretty much decided. Its almost like he hasnt ever seen the 6ers blow a lead.

 

 

I'm think the "getting treatment" thing is probably legit... 

They're on the road and traveling, it's probably easier to get it in now 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who could have possibly foreseen this inevitability?

[quote]The Brooklyn Nets said Friday night that Ben Simmons has been diagnosed with a nerve impingement in his back, putting the former All-Star forward's potential return to the court this season in doubt.[/quote]

I wonder if Ben Simmons will try to leverage this into a career ending injury.  He loves being rich, being a celebrity, being a basketball star off the court…just hates being a basketball player in the court.  This could be his way out. 

 

 

Doc special 

I think I'd almost like it now if they dropped down to the 4th seed......they aren't getting the 2nd and the 3rd seed has to play Miami and then would line up against Boston if chalk held.  Dropping to the 4th, you play the Knicks in the 1st round (better match up and less travel) and then would probably have to play the Bucks.  At some point, probably going to have to play them anyway and let some other playoff team try and take Boston out for us.  

Yay Warriors! 

Embiid and his stupid external motivators....

cool pic.

Who wins in a pickup game? I probably have to say the old guys.
