Not a lot of people know this, but Derrick White is actually from Colorado.
Party on Beale Street last night?
Adelman not on the bench tonight?? This is what happens when “all star Malone” gets free reign over this team #firemalone
Ehh sometimes you shit the bed and just change the sheets.
PW going 100% from the field but of course Malone hates young guys so he still won’t get playing time
Where are all the sixer fans now? 🦗
this celtics sixers game is a flop-off
Refs are getting the fix in for the sixers
Man Memphis really wanted this one. Got to tip your hat to a team that can get up like that for a Feb match. Shades of the Philly game. That’s the shadow side of being #1, teams sometimes go harder than normal when you come to town.
Get it together, Boston.
E: got some sixers fans lurking, do we?
How cool is it that BHB and I have the same cake day? Fucking nuggets out to spoil our celebration, haters.
27 fts for harden and embiid
Joel Embiid is a MVP caliber player.
Lmaooooooooo this fucking game is crazy
Holy wow Embiid. I wish that counted. Cause I wanted 5 more minutes of that game.
Lmao thank god
Holy shit
It couldn’t have happened to a better fan base 😂😂😂
The weird thing is that shit looked good from the frame the ball left his hand lmaoo
I think Embiid should win MVP
WTF
He didnt even try to get it off lmao
Sixers fans got their game in the clutch and still lurking our sub 😂😂😂 nothing mor obsessed or unhinged than that
Omg Embiid splashed that bitch 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ll take getting blown out by 30 than losing like that any day, that shit’s heartbreaking. Too many what ifs to look back on.
20 L before 40 W
Fake contenders
That was a good ending, wow imagine he got it 0.1 second off earlier
What an ending to that one damn
Vlatko would’ve got it off
Well shoot
Can’t lie Boston you can tell are gonna make a deep run as long as everyone stays healthy rly well coached and so many of the players after “the Jays” are all blue chip role players high basketball IQ who fully understand and have bought into their roles Horford White Smart Time Lord Brogdon Grant Williams their top 8 players prob a top 3/top 2 group in the league rn and wouldn’t argue if you said they had the best 8 rn
Remember when Kawhi Leonard last made a 3 to win the game?
Bryant and reggie dont look like valuable additions so far, its one thing to not know the system but a totaly different to take the kind of shots they took in this memphis game. They played against us , they watched us and they for sure got talked to how to play and so far i dont see them making us better at all
2 defensive liabilitys who dont play nuggets ball ,idk how we are gonna include them in the playoff rotation if they dont get a lot better in the next 20 games , we dont have time to teach them fundamental stuff like whats a good shot and what not.
Downvote me all you want but id rather see Bruce as the back up pg going forward, at least he offers some defensive toughness and doesnt try stuff he cant do offensivly.
Same with bryant, i think i would trust zeke more atm , at least you can switch with him
Not really worried about this loss, they made shots, nuggets didnt. Nuggets also just played bad overall tbh
Good stuff: I was reminded of how good of a contested rebounder Jokic is, loved that the C-team saved us from a sub 90 score lol
It did bring 2 areas of concern for me that has been quite consistent throughout the season though:
1. Jamal and screen navigation
2. Bruce Browns fit on the bench
Hopefully both things will get sorted out a bit before the playoffs.
The Nuggets have been exposed. Fire Malone!
This game sucked… We were embarrassed. It’s true. But mark my words. We will be pissed and motivated in the next Grizz game! I fully expect an epic performance in the revenge game.
Tough to get assists when nobody makes shots
well
I thought we could have a great game…but I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This team has ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye Nuggets. I am no longer a fan.
Thank god that Embiid bucket didn’t count
The Mile High City Uniforms are cursed. We have to stop wearing them
that was our load management/rest game right?
doug moe used to say if you’re gonna lose, lose by 30. forget it. move on. they wanted this. we tensed up. murray is rusty or not healthy. mpj waited to long to take it to the whole. the whole team did. someone needs to know to stop shooting bricks and go to the whole. nobody wanted to do that. jokic battled. kcp battled. but we didn’t try hard enough to win that game., bryant doesn’t look comfortable. reggie might be trying a little too hard, but i think he can find his rhythm. let’s calm down and realize it’s 1 of 82. we havea 5 game lead with 21 games left. 1-1 so far on the road trip. clips manana
We were due for a loss. On to the next.
Since we were missing AG, and he averages 17.3 points/game, we really only lost by 0.7 tonight. Fire Jenkins!
Jokic – 15 points and a minus 20
J. Green – 12 points and a minus 19…aka trade Joki and make Green our franchise player
