James Harden just did the Ben Simmons. Must be a Philly PG thing.

Embiid doing Embiid things.

Looks mentally beaten already.

I wonder who he blames this season?

Embed won the MVP?

Even though he was the 2nd best player all season. He tried the hardest at the end when the games didn't count and Jokic rested.

Onepocketj · 05-05-2023, 08:45 PM

Someone needs to call Harden and tell him there's a game tonight

Onepocketj · 05-05-2023, 09:00 PM

OMG that looked painful.

daeve · 05-05-2023, 09:01 PM

Embiid is the goofiest 'faller' I think I've ever seen. He nearly smashed 2 defenders faces into the court except that he missed stepping on Brown's head and only stepped on his shoulder. And he slammed his own tailbone. He somehow caused the most damage to every body involved.

daeve · 05-05-2023, 09:09 PM

Harden hits a shot at the right time. 6 pt game

daeve · 05-05-2023, 09:10 PM

Tatum actually doing well in the clutch tonight too

Why would he need to blame anyone? He already won his award for the season.

Sixers need to retool their roster again. Harden and Harris are not cutting it for the money they make.

Yep. The Sixers aren’t winning anything as presently constructed. Except for their usual first round advancement.

30/13/3/1/4 — you’re blaming Embiid? Their second best player tonight was PJ Tucker. You really should be over this Simmons thing by now.

TSonn · 05-05-2023, 09:19 PM

Pumped for Nugs @ Suns tonight.

When they lose the series he will point the finger at someone.

Doc's turn or Harden?

I'm baffled why you keep bringing up Simmons. Might be you who needs to let go.

Might be time to follow another team also? Embiid is not the guy. I wonder if we'll get more crocodile tears.

No bingo. You’re out for this round.

I mean...he did get smacked in the face/chin...and then kicked in the nuts....

Did he "oversell"? Probably...but both replays clearly showed these things happened lol

ballhawkdawk · 05-05-2023, 09:31 PM

Celtics defend as a team and pass it around. There’s a chemistry there that Philly doesn’t have. Similar to Golden State and Denver. And speaking of Denver… I think Phoenix evens it up but ultimately loses the series. This late start is too much tho. I’m good for a quarter.

Kingofkings1281 · 05-05-2023, 09:34 PM

Lol at drob still being mad about loser Ben Simmons.

If it’s not for Simmons, then what is with the obsession with Embiid? Just oddly obsessed for no reason? I mean… that’s fine too, but it’s mad weird.

And did you watch the game? Harden was dreadful. All while Embiid was the primary focus of the Celtics defense. The Celtics played better as a team all around, but Harden did Philly no favors.

gomiamigo · 05-05-2023, 09:38 PM

That was an extremely frustrating loss. Embiid got no help except from like...PJ.

The Accountant · 05-05-2023, 09:55 PM

Was out for the night grabbing some margs/beers lightly watching the game from afar from a few bars with some friends. Noticed the game was up and down but Sixers pretty much always from behind. Seemed like Embiid is the only dude to show up. Damn…Maxey harden Tobias WYA? Expect nothing less at this point. C’s in 5/6 looking very real until I see otherwise.

Glad I went out now and didn’t have to be frustrated all night lol

daeve · 05-05-2023, 09:59 PM

it's so frustrating how few replays ESPN/TNT show.

daeve · 05-05-2023, 10:06 PM

KD 30 FTA tonight? May happen

NeedChapmans · 05-05-2023, 10:29 PM

Series has gone the same way all three nights so far.

Away team wins 1st quarter
Home team wins 2nd quarter
Away team wins 3rd quarter
Home team wins 4th quarter

10/10. Let's see if we finish 12/12.
