VJ going for a 40 piece with 0 FT as usual

92 from maxey and a record -2 from VJ

Andre Drummond isn’t exactly nimble either my man.

Why do people always think the sixers without Embiid is a better team? That’s never been and never will be the case.

Drummond and Bona aren’t much better man lmao

All depends on how KAT takes advantage of Bona.

Bona has his flaws but he’s mobile and athletic, and a good post defender

It’s actually hilarious how the Sixers run a completely different offense when Embiid isn’t out on the floor. Obviously the team is better with Embiid even at 70-80%, but all those Embiid iso possessions switch up to quick perimeter passing ones.

I was surprised he suited up for game 1

*Maxey was shoved into his leg

*was pushed into his leg more appropriate lol

Shoved, he was shoved into his leg by Jaylen Brown.

Yeah I feel like I’ve been getting gaslit over this, his knee went backwards in a disgusting way similar to Ant’s, but almost no one is even mentioning that his knee is injured. Maybe it is just a given that his knee is always injured at this point? But there is no way that severe of a hyperextension caused no damage. Sixers are just lying about it on the injury report. Also, if they didnt do an MRI, they are a shitty medical team.

And Queta earlier. He had like 500 lbs of man thrown on his knee

Like 5 players fell into his knees that game, he was on the floor basically after every play

was pushed into his leg by Jaylen Brown

Ftfy

Maxey was pushed by Jaylen Brown into Embiid’s leg at the end of game 7.

You mean he was forearmed push by jaylen in to Joel’s knees

You mean the one where Jaylon Brown clearly pushes off. But hey, there’s no way that’s true because there’s an agenda against him and they would have called that an offensive foul…

Jaylen brown push off*

Maxey was shoved into his knees by Jaylen Brown*** (that wasn’t called)

Pushed into by brown but yes

Jaylen brown pushed him into him if Im remembering right.

“Fell” is a weird way to type “thrown into Joel’s knees by Brown”

I would moreso say Maxey was heavily pushed by Jaylen Brown. Hence the twitch stream where he kept on verbally attacking Embiid

Felt like that to me too. Dude really gritted it out because I know it ate him up how much Boston has owned them, but I just don’t think his body can hold up to that anymore.

He harvested all his will power and hatred to take down Boston.

we may as well have sat all the starters (obviously would never happen) since it was essentially a guaranteed L after game 7 in boston

said it beforehand and it’s become obvious in hindsight. they were always hugely unlikely to win that game given the rest disadvantage. should’ve just sat him down and taken that one on the chin to have him back with decent rest/recovery in game 2. by forcing him to play G1 they are, in all likelihood, going home down 2-0, where 1-1 would’ve been far more likely by stealing G2 with a rested embiid. huge misstep from nick nurse in my opinion.

Nah, things are so tight that you’re either too injured to play or you’re playing. You can’t afford to basically throw a game in a 7 game series

You strategically sit a game or two and now you’re extending the series and fighting harder. If the Sixers pulled off a win they’d have massive momentum coming off the 3-1 comeback. 

It builds an embittered person who survives off spite and caffeine

His hate for the Atlantic Division is the only force more powerful than his injury curse

Because every game matters and you know Embiid will miss some games you need to be smart about what games he’ll miss.

Boston has a real bench, Sixers do not.

Knicks can no longer attack Embiid on offense, and it’s proven that Maxey goes off when he’s not playing either. This is a classic trap game

the guy who can’t even move still managed to torch the Celtics and save his team’s season. He’s not gonna shoot 3-11 every time out there. Anything can happen in one game but imo it’s crazy to say you’d rather face Embiid than Drummond and Bona

our offensive identity without embiid is just “let maxey cook” (which he sucks at).

defense will have similar issues with bona and drummond both getting in foul trouble immediately

Bona is good for 1 block and 1 put back every other game

I’m sorry but i was laughing my ass off at 3 fouls in 1 minute played.

Bona quite literally almost fouled out in like 5 minutes of garbage time

Going 10-10 on corner threes

Drummond is 32? For some reason I thought he was 40.   Felt like he’s been around forever. 

Based on my experience, Embiid being probable means he was always going to play, questionable means he almost surely plays, and doubtful means he actually may play. So this is a surprise

In your heaaad, in your heaaaaaad

We’re averaging 6 games a series with brunson no matter how good or bad the opponent, its hilarious. I think its ⁶⁄₈ went to 6 games and the other 2 were a 5 game and 7 game series.
