This game had everything. Rookies going off, squandered Ja legacy game, silly Embiid skyhooks, Bill Kennedy auditioning for a recurring role on General Hospital. Just everything.

2020 rookie class was good too with a ton of draft steals in there but man 2025 might eclipse that at this rate

The 2025 draft class more than made up for a weak 2024 class.

Great game. Edgecomb and Coward are fucking incredible rookies

This draft class is absurd. I’m legitimately excited for the future of the NBA

FrostKnight08

20 | 3 hours ago

For real. Wemby’s draft class was top heavy, but this draft class is deep as hell. So many good players throughout the entire 1st round. Flagg, Nipple, Edgecum, Coward, Fears, Queen and Harper

shadowarmy229 | 76ers

Shoutout Hugo Gonzalez as well with the best plus minus in the league

Kalkbrenner and Maxime Raynaud in the 2nd round are good too

Not having Cam Spencer on the floor who’s been your best 3 pt shooter when you need a 3 to tie is pretty much inexcusable

EnoughPlatform7020

47 | 3 hours ago

It’s ridiculous honestly. 50 percent 3 point shooter not in the game

Or1g1nalrepr0duct10n | Wizards

31 | 3 hours ago

He’s only shooting 48% from three this season so since 48% is less than 50% he must be below average, right? That’s how math works?

Apparitional | Kings

18 | 3 hours ago

It was hilarious when the camera was panned to him after the second timeout. Cameraman and broadcast was like “you sure you’re not gonna bring him in?”

clickstops | 76ers

4 | 3 hours ago

I admittedly hadn’t watched much Grizz this year before this game but … what would be the reason for not having him in there? Or, if more excusable, not having him in during crunch time?

PleasantTrust522 | 76ers

6 | 2 hours ago

Beside bad coaching? No idea

KptKrondog | MEM

5 | 2 hours ago

He hasn’t shot well for the last 2 games (the game vs wizards was the first game with no made 3 by him in a long time), and he only made 1 tonight…but it’s still not a good reason to NOT have him in. Honestly would rather him in than Ja just because Ja is good at getting open, but is dogshit from 3.

The 12 rebounds are nice ig, bad night scoring wise but he’s been trending upward recently so not the end of the world

Credit due, he has been a lot more active on the boards while they’re missing Edey & Clarke again

39 | 3 hours ago

why would you cut to the basket if you aren’t going to look for the ball?

sloBrodanChillosevic | Supersonics

34 | 3 hours ago

That’s what I’m sayin. Announcers were ripping Ja for throwing the pass but Santi was open with a lane to the hoop.

tanneroni9 | Grizzlies

10 | 3 hours ago

Because that’s just Santi. It’s the least surprising thing I’ve seen him do in a game

Vegetable-Tooth8463 | Hornets

lol why you guys hate him

TitanTigers | Grizzlies

He turns into a pumpkin in clutch time

I did not expect a random December game to get this intense. Vintage Ja making crazy buckets and VJ just ice cold down the stretch.

What a fun watch.

kingofnick | Suns

Grizzlies coach with some very questionable decisions. Completely cooled off JJJ after a strong first half. Weird rotation decisions.

TitanTigers | Grizzlies

We have literally 7 players out. Rotations are gonna be weird

Once Ja fell asleep on the double I knew it was over.

As a Sixers fan.. had no idea Ja still had this much juice. People have been dancing on his grave too early. The finishing is still really special, even if he doesn’t have the same vertical pop

Waffleshuriken | Grizzlies

6 | 3 hours ago

Tragic loss, but a fun game. The rookie duel was awesome.

Ja finally looked like his old self.

Man ill never understand subbing out Ja and Coward in a 1 point game and then putting them back in once they are down 7. And not putting Cam in for the last shot. I think Iisalo has some good systems, but his rotation patterns drive me up the way. I understand the Grizz are down guys but still man.

VJ Edgecombe is a dog! I know Cooper flagg will probably win ROY but VJ is a special player. He brings offense, defense, and clutchness. The sixers future is bright.

Memphis just stopped going to Coward in the 4th/OT and I have no idea why. Morant tunnel focus was fine cause he was on fire but everyone else was a complete black hole, just shooting straight away with no thought

The Philadelphia 76ers (17-14) defeat the Memphis Grizzlies (15-18), 139-136 as VJ Edgecombe’s wins the game with his go-ahead 3-pointer!
