Had a long drive second half, listened to their radio guy for the first time and I gotta say. He was absolutely fucking electric.
Tyrese Maxey: Flat Out Winner!
Never been so angry after a win. Those refs were a disgrace…
MAXEY IS HIM!!!
Nets fans calling for Embiid injury, makes sense
Hopefully the Warriors lose tonight and then it would be a perfect night

Meanwhile, Nets fans looking like Toronto fans
Homie, how the hell do I get sleep with my nerves this shot. Chaotic game.
Unpopular opinion. Embiid is a child who can’t control himself and will cost the Sixers in the next round even more.
basketball sure is a game

NBC Sports Philly with the W
Flat out winner
Hahahahaha someone tell me how we won, I’m genuinely curious. I was driving and wasn’t able to listen to the 4th quarter
lol at the inactives
Start Trez game 4 and have him snap that twig
This series is too EZ
you could tell by the way the nets walked off the court the sixers already took their soul. it’s the sixers’ game to lose the next game. tonight was their best chance and they threw it away. 👀
And the best part… Harden got some rest in the 4th quarter!!!
very satisfying win. I’m proud they overcame all the BS.
Thanks for showing us that last play
That 3rd quarter was so disastrous, Celtics will punish us for it
How bad do we think Joel’s knee is?
I’m actually stunned.
The Sixers lose this game every time over the last three years.
Idk if we can beat Boston… but this team is different.
I’m happy the sixers won. But I gotta tell you guys, I’m pretty close to not being able to watch sports anymore. I’m about as far from a conspiracy person as you can get, but it’s just plain to see refs in every sport have gotten worse since sports betting was legalized. I have already given up on the nfl. I wont watch that nonsense anymore. Watching games like this where a team that should be drawing fouls like sixers only gets three calls in a whole half and zero shooting fouls is just unbelievable. Calling F2 on harden was ridiculous. And it’s not just this game. It’s all over the league. It’s happening in baseball as well..
I’m afraid that, like every other aspect of american life, sports has just become corrupt in pursuit of money. I’m gonna hang in their for atleast this run. But I’ll tell you what, not caring about the nfl this offseason has given me a lot of time to pursue other hobbys and I honestly havent missed it at all, and I have always been more into the offseason than actual games. I’m not sure I would miss the nba all that much either.
So you’re telling me the Nets went 20 minutes in the second half with 1 foul call—a tech. Brothers and co were out in full force. I get they don’t want us to easily sweep the Nets but it’s ridiculous.
thanks for being a bunch of cunts, love you guys
I’m glad we won but that was just bad product from the NBA. Absolutely reffing mess. This whole series has been.
I’m confident we close in 4 now but holy shit they’re making it hard to enjoy this.
Sixers post game live speculating if Embiod will be suspended for next game. It worrisome.
loving all the mad 14 year olds in r/nba right now
Gotta quadruple team Embiid the second he crosses half court
They better not suspend Harden…
Prediction: Sports gambling will ruin one of the major 4 sports in the next decade after a massive point shaving scandal will be leaked involving a commissioner
picked this up in the nets sub https://i.imgur.com/fxwt2t5.jpg lol
Clayton or whatever his name is being ejected after his no muscle flex and losing was so funny
Doc is right PJ definitely won us that game. He was keeping everything in the alive in the 4th quarter.
Maxey was a beast, harden was hopping while he was in the game (fuck that call) and Joel had some big defensive plays when we definitely needed it…but shout out to PJ for being a fucking dawg. This is what we brought him in for, he steals so many extra possessions and is elite at tracking the ball for his height. Those will be big when we play Boston and hopefully Milwaukee who have more depth and just as much talent as we do if not more overall.
Dude was crotch guarding Harden. Wtf did he expect would happen?
Factoring in the higher stakes. Most satisfying dub of the year! Battled through a ton of adversity and Joel gets the last laugh on bitch Claxton. Thank you so much ‘Reese
