Embiid can’t stop putting up ugly shots. I get he’s hurt but come on man. Those things aren’t even close 

This is always the type of performance you get from Embiid as the team fizzles out of the playoffs. He will always be injured in the post-season. Get credit for playing through. Have the excuse of injury while fans defend his supermax contract with his MVP worthy regular season play. Truth is, he will never lead this team through the post-season. We have never even gotten out of the 2nd round in the Embiid era. This team has never even been close to competing in the finals, let alone competing for the championship.

Philly needs a shot in the arm tonight after this. Would be nice to see them sign Bradberry or trade for Chuck Clark…or better yet pull a rabbit out of the hat with Bates III.

Maxey at CB2.

He has nice length and athleticism.

This team completely quit after game 4

Which makes no sense since that was the most momentum shifting game 

There was a video on twitter where Reddick was pointing out that Embiid's thumb injury is a bigger deal than we know.

Add the concussion and broken face, I can accept crappy play.

That right there. Butler gets his own rebound and takes a wide open 3. It’s sickening to watch.

Starters should all be benched right now. Game is lost. Doc is probably/hopefully fired anyway. Make a bold statement.

Every single year, when it matters? This is every year with him. He has always been injured come post-season. Always.

I worked through the days rest.  Sort of even.  Both MNF games at home followed by road games are the problem.  But the trip to DC is a train ride and Indy is a tolerable flight.  The trip to Houston for a Thursday game is the only real egregious week. 

Randomly found this on Twitter. Not sure how accurate it is but it seems compared to the league, they are down there 

 

Dad bod PJ Tucker out there in a T shirt hustling more than half the 76ers team 

 

Wow.

We would be neutral if one of the Monday/Sunday rests flipped.  It's a lot better than when we had three teams coming off their bye.  We also have very little travel - Arizona, Houston, and Dallas are the only sort of long trips.  And we have the permanent advantage of short trips to NYG and WAS.  I wouldn't call it objectively unfair.

The Eagles' SOS pretty much makes up for any rest disadvantage.

Sixers Twitter is gold right now. Especially Doc Rivers.

Yup. But they did them pretty dirty though with 3 straight road games and the last being against @ Dallas which could be for the division. 

Harden attempted 1 shot in 22 minutes in the 2nd half.

Really have an opportunity to feast during the first 9 games.

Short bus ride to the Daniel Jones and a simple plane ride to Justin Fields.  Do the first 2 games of the three really count?

Some of it is I don’t think they played with the same intensity and energy as in game three and four.

However part of the reason why I took my miami  even before the embiid injury was that as the series got deeper I didn’t know how the Sixers starters would hold up. Miami is a very deep team. So they can stay fresh in a 6-7 game series. They have looked like the fresher team since game 4. The Sixers have to play their starters 37 to 40 minutes. The accumulation of those minutes especially when you went 6 games in a raptor series (that you should’ve swept or won in game five) adds up. They look tired and run down  

maxey has never played this many games nor the minutes in his career. I think it’s caught up to him. He will learn and be fine. 

Harrris is what he is. I actually think he’s also worn down because they don’t have Ben Simmons defensively anymore. So he actually has taken on a bigger role defensive and extend more energy. He has not looked like the same player since game three. Add on he always disappears as games get bigger.

Embiid is just dealing with a bunch of injuries.  I got to imagine the injuries and the fact that this year he’s had to play all the minutes that he has because the Sixers don’t have a bench and don’t have a back up center that’s worth anything after they traded Drummond has caught up to him. 

harden is just not the same player he was with the rockets. He’s never going to consistently be that again. It was a move they hoped he was cause if so they go to another level. It failed. 

Then losing green minutes into this game was a death blow. Really we shouldn’t be relying on him as much as we do considering the fact he is 34 years old. However because of the bad moves the sixes have made they were forced to rely on him more. Danny Green the last two playoffs has gotten hurt. He shouldn’t be relied on to play 30+ mins or be a starter at this stage of his career  

i’m not even gonna go into the bench that much but the benches a big reason why the starters get worn down over a seven game series. because the bench does absolutely nothing almost every single game.

And Glenn is an overrated fraud if a coach that is horrible at adjustments since he’s left Boston. 

Just an all time second half performance by Harden. That will go down in Philly lore for a very long time.

The issue is that there’s nothing that can be done about it.  They should probably go for another run next year, do the best they can to support him, and if he’s injured again for the playoffs, then it’s time to cash out and re-process.

No heart. Team folded like a lawn chair. Fire Doc Rivers please.

At least the best team in the NHL (St. Louis Blues) can finish their series tonight.

Yes. Teams historically don’t do good on the third game for 3 straight road games.  The schedule makers try to avoid it for a reason. See 10-2 New Orleans beating 4-6 Broncos,  4-7 Saints and then losing to 3-8-1 Eagles
