VJ made winning play after winning play, even if it didn’t show in the stat sheet. What a goddamn champion of a basketball player

schoolhater12 | Raptors

55 | 5 hours ago

yes, he was very good. He should have gotten like 6 free throws in the 4th quarter alone but Natalie Sago has no interest

theonlyobjectiveman

24 | 5 hours ago

He gets 0 foul calls, hacked going to rim about 100 times this year and 0 calls cause hes strong and dont flop going to hoop

Cooper Flagg gets a free 15 free throws a game no matter what

VJ literaly scored 35 with 0 FREE THROWS and got hacked and call reversed so SGA wouldnt have 3 fouls

Man scored 35 with 0 Free throws, its been going on the whole year and pissing me the fck off

While LUka and SGA get breathed on and get free throws , VJ flys to the hoop and gets hit in mid air and doesnt get a call almost ever, shit makes you think the leagues rigged when you see the SGA foul on him that got reversed by a challenge.

They trying to hold Brother Valdez down, they mad hes better than alll their pre draft hype jobs

theb3arjevv | PHI

17 | 5 hours ago

To play devil’s advocate, he has a really loose handle, and he flails around a bunch just trying to control his dribble as he drives. The refs won’t give him the benefit of the doubt until he tightens that up.

That doesn’t explain why Maxey doesn’t just have a constant parade to the line, but I don’t want to spike my blood pressure this late on a Saturday.

romanticynicist | 76ers

4 | 5 hours ago

An improved handle will help for sure. I feel like one thing is that his strength and body control when he’s going up for layups is so damn good that refs miss when he takes bumps that would more visibly throw off other guys.

Kind of like how Maxey’s whistle suffered (and still does) because on some of his layup attempts he’s going too damn fast for refs to see the foul.

I’m not gonna argue against ROY for Kon but it’s a bit annoying how VJ got glossed over again. What he contributes on both ends of the floor is insane and not evident of a rookie at all. He will completely take over games in the clutch on offense and then also do it against star players on defense.

I’m incredibly biased but VJ I think, whether having the better season or not, has looked the least like a rookie all around than anyone

BroSnow | 76ers

5 | 3 hours ago

Bill Simmons was talking about how great the top 4 picks in the draft was and literally glossed over VJ with a “well not so much VJ but the other three.” Fuck you Bill. I’m steadfast that he’ll be the best player in the draft long term, at least on par with Flagg. He gives me “I don’t know what the ceiling is” vibes and he’s an absolute dog and our most clutch player, even more so than Maxey.

theonlyobjectiveman

11 | 5 hours ago

this is what he does

he can play any role to make you actually win and somehow getting shafted in ROTY talks

Dropped basically 40 2 games as the 1st option but has to take a seat back now with Maxey and Embiid who take tons of shots

still makes you win while hes out there, his Stats mean nothing. Brother Valdez Edge just built different….all these fake news Stats mean nothing.

“Miller” and attacking the rim.

He has a decent mid range touch and that’s really it. His rim finishing is actually terrible, especially when he’s trying to do anything on his own there. His only useful skill at the rim is being a lob threat.

This is pretty much correct, and playoff inexperience will exacerbate it further. We struggle with size and physicality, and stick to our guns with “ethical basketball”, so we tend to struggle when the lights are bright.

SirTacoMaster | Hornets

15 | 5 hours ago

this was a pretty bad game from him

flaming_burrito_ | Wizards

14 | 5 hours ago

That’s just how he shoots, and it usually works better for him. The step forward shot is good for shooting while in motion, you don’t have to fully stop to do it. He forced some of those shots in the 4th, but no one else was hitting them, so he kind of had to. Even Kon shot uncharacteristically bad from 3, but the 6ers played a great defensive game as well

Brokromah | 76ers

3 | 5 hours ago

I counted 3 or 4 shots where he had time to set his feet and he just did that non set shot. He also did it a couple times while fading. I understand it goes in sometimes but like…don’t shoot in motion if you don’t have to right?

flaming_burrito_ | Wizards

4 | 5 hours ago

Eh, some people just have quirky shots. If it works, it works. He really just shouldn’t be taking 26 shots in a game, usually when he does it’s because something has gone wrong and he has to shoulder more offensive burden. He’s one of those players where the team wins more when he takes less shots and has more assists

incredible 4q from PG. There was a stretch late in the 4th where he:

drove to the basket to draw the foul, then converts both FTs;
then disturbs his defender just enough for him to crash into embiid with the foul;
boxes out his defender just enough for him to lose possession of the ball to retain 6ers possession
cashes in the quick three on the inbound
gets the defensive stop with the steal

all in back to back to back to back possessions. monster.

~~this was also all on grant williams. absolutely destroyed that man.~~

Well and he has plenty of experience going against Embiid so he at least knows what to do.

Kinetik09

That’s not what I saw. He took open shots and good looks. They just didn’t fall. One literally went down and popped back up. They depend on his 3pt shooting to space the floor and get guys good lucks on the perimeter and going down hill. Those looks just didn’t go down tonight and inexplicably grant williams was playing crunch time so no Moose to get the rebounds either.

the existence of Embiid is more than what we’ve got. He can body anybody and score at the rim (when he wants to)

we have zero post scoring ability on this team. Bridges can only drive past slow bigs or post up point guards, otherwise he turns into a pumpkin. Moose’s points are purely his crackhead energy on offensive boards or lobs, Miller is a god awful driver that can only score on cuts, and everyone else on the team is a perimeter chucker. Our frontcourt is likely getting exposed HARD in the play-in or playoff, and our amazing backcourt deserves a lot better

we have some easy games coming up, and might catch a few resting teams in our last couple games of the season (hopefully).

8 is the realistic goal at this point but I really want 6

Imsortofabigdeal | Hornets

I disagree. If we want to be a real team, we have to win games like this. We’re still the same old charlotte hornets. But maybe in the next couple years we can change that

BeingMikeHunt | Knicks

Nah. You guys aren’t the same old anything.

The issue you guys have is that you put yourself in such an enormous hole with the bad start that every loss kills you now. You have no margin for error.

But even if you don’t get a playoff spot this year, your team is legitimately good now. Nothing is guaranteed, but your team SHOULD be a real contender in the years to come.

Rillaboom2701 | Hornets

i disagree with you. While we def need to learn to win games like this, losing by 4 when kon and lamelo shoot a combined ¹⁰⁄₄₀ is not bad. Not the same old hornets

PeachyCoke | Hornets

There’s a reason why they shot that poorly. We got gameplanned against, something a team with playoff experience will do well in tough games. Kon was largely a non-factor due to this, so he had to start forcing things, same with Lamelo. The foul trouble was also a huge factor

The Hornets are the scariest play-in team because it might just be a night where they score 140 without ever going into the paint. Get psyched! Stingers out, or whatever it is you people do.

We’d rather be scary in a series where we can afford an off night though.

Play-in is way too scary, cause when a shooting night like this happens, it’s just over. At least in a BO7 we can brush a bad night off.

wlamb30 | Hornets

The way I look at it is that the hornets are playing with house money. Their over/under was 27.5. They’ve obliterated that and are well ahead of schedule. If we have the same trajectory as the pistons are you going to be upset? I would be riding high if that was the way we went.

Over a 41 game sample size since Jan 1 of 2026, the hornets have the sixth best record in the league and are the number 1 team in net rating. Thats more than a fluke. These boys can ball.

If we don’t make a run in the playoffs, so what? We’re playing meaningful basketball games in Charlotte for the first time in over a decade. Whatever shakes out with this team is only going to help them in the future. Keep buzzing and enjoy the ride.

lets hope they dont rig it, fair game, if its fair and Sixers are healthy, i said 3 months before the draft if we draft VJ Edgecombe well go to the Finals and everyone laughed at me

I just dont trust the Refs or NBA for tons of reasons, lets just hope everythings fair, I dont even want us to win if its bullshit calls and cheap….never cheated in shit to win, id rather losing the real way.

but if everything is legit, people gonna be shocked and the X Factor is VJ Black Panther Edgecombe, i said hed inject life into Embiids knees overnight for a reason, kinda guy who makes everyone play harder and win

It will get overlooked but the play at the end of the 1st quarter where Hornets are holding for the last shot instead ends up with a turnover and BMill getting his 3rd foul after having a 16pt quarter. Has to sit for ³⁄₄ of the 2nd because of it. So so frustrating

Embiid with that block at the end was cold blooded. Fully healthy Sixers are a completely different team. Maxey, PG, and Embiid all going for 26+ in the same game is terrifying for whoever draws them in the first round.

The Charlotte Hornets have been beating on everyone lately. When they’re ahead, they have usually stayed that way.

I was surprised the Big 3 of Philly was looking so good.

Not gonna lie, I kinda wrote them off. Washed PG, Injured Embiid, and Maxey, that’s what I thought.

We almost won this game despite this godawful shooting performance. I would perfectly fine with that if we weren’t in the fucking play-in right now. The Sixers shot their absolute best and the Hornets their absolute worst and they still barely lost. It’s just annoying that this game actually matters.

Imsortofabigdeal | Hornets

5 | 5 hours ago

We got exposed in this game. You can look like a good team for 30 games or so but we are so, so far away from being able to do anything in the playoffs. If we want anything from this season we are gonna have to earn it from the 9 or 10 spot in the play-in tournament. Hopefully we take positive steps in the offseason to keep building regardless.

Starveiled | Hornets

10 | 5 hours ago

“Exposed” has lost all its meaning. The greater sample size for this team fully healthy is that they are very very good. They had a tough shooting night. Shit happens when you shoot so many threes. Its a part of this team’s identity that you have to accept. Get down from the ledge.

Imsortofabigdeal | Hornets

3 | 5 hours ago

I’m not on the ledge I’m just being realistic about expectations. This is our first year out of the gutter. Shit, we didn’t even leave the gutter until January of this year! Building takes time. We aren’t ready yet, and that’s how we got exposed. Not ready yet.

I mean yeah you’re not ready yet but everyone knew that. But that’s fine, there’s only a scant few teams every year that ARE ready. What matters is that you’re far better and further along than anyone expected.

the nick nurse TM: playing Maxey 43 MINUTES in his first game back from injury.

Lamelo has been pretty good and made some big shots today but this would be a 20 point Hornets Victory if he got his head out of his ass and took open shots instead of faking away from an open shot and taking a contested one footed three 15 times today

DemarcusLovin | NBA

the nick nurse TM: playing Maxey 43 MINUTES in his first game back from injury.

Misleading because Maxey has almost certainly been at full health for a little bit now, but they’ve just been holding him out.

It wasn’t a surprise that in the first truly meaningful Sixers game for playoff seeding in a while, he’s right back in the lineup. He looked like hadn’t missed a beat.

romanticynicist | 76ers

I wouldn’t say he’s quite at full health seeing as he’s playing with a splint on, but it does seem like he’s kept his legs pretty fresh.

I do NOT understand why everyone has so much faith in the Hornets. Their shot selection is horrible (mostly bc of LaMelo), they make the silliest turnovers (again, mostly LaMelo) and their only chance is to get hot while they run and gun because they DO NOT play organized defense. They are lucky to have the record they do in the regular season TBH they are going to get absolutely TRASHED in the playoffs when the intensity gets higher and they can’t just jack early shot clock 3s

Lamelo needs to work on his inside scoring man, he needs to be a 3 level scorer if he’s to scale up a level. Right now I see him settling when there’s nothing happening on offence.

Lamelo casually shooting 18 threes is wild

The fully healthy Philadelphia 76ers (40-33) defeat the Charlotte Hornets (39-34), 118-114 in a game with massive playoff implications, led by Joel Embiid’s 29 points.
