LeBron and Embiid in a blowout loss to the Cavs: 8/7/3 on 3⁄12 shooting and 6/7/1 on 09 shooting
0/9*
Historically bad games for Phillies 2 stars. Maxey was also bad (17 points on 5⁄15) Brown 20 points on 19 shots
https://www.espn.com/nba/game?gameId=401909289
Every team has bad nights yall must not watch a whole lot of
And if anyone saw the game they would know that Maxey played hard. He was fast, got back on defense, and really tried.
But Embiid too heavy.
It’s early and the record will make people worry less but they will win games depending on which Embiid or Lebron show up and these guys are not going to be around all year.
It’s obviously just a single game but we’re not pretending these aren’t 2 generational stinkers
Yall love the word generational
You only ever see good teams lose by 24 once in a generation, you know.
Ur right bro these are just normal bad games that stars have every week
Lebron and Embiid are having games like this every week?
LeBron is 41 dawg
Is LeBron even a star anymore? Like ability wise
its the regular season. if it was the playoffs sure
That’s wild that you were waiting for a bad game to post just to hate on. Weird as shit.
Generational.
It was a two point game and I tuned in and then Philly proceeded to never score again 💔
We’re gonna kidnap you and make sure you watch every Sixers game from now on
clockwork orange style
I will have to turn into Liam Neeson
That’s literally when I started watching cause I was an hour early for the lakers game lmao. Goddamn that was brutal. I have Maxey and James in fantasy, too 😭
Yea, they comeback attacking the cup and then just decided to chuck up 3’s.
Appreciate your service
Same. Said “damn Maxey has 15 in one quarter” and he never scored again
Yeah they sucked ass tonight, but it’s probably just a one-off though because they’ve been great so far even if it’s still early. I will certainly not be laughing at them unless they lose in the playoffs lol.
Cut it to 2 and Maxey even had a shot to go up in the 3rd. Felt like every other game with second half comebacks.
Then nothing 😂
What really killed them before Cleveland put it away was JB missing like 6-7 shots straight on 5-6 possessions. I think there was one posession in the 4th where JB missed like 2 or 3 straight shots in a span of like 10 seconds while the sixers kept getting the rebound.
Literally anybody from the sixers gets even remotely hot in that 4th quarter and it’s likely a close game down to the end. Cleveland got lucky the entire Sixers starting 5 went cold in the 2nd half, or it would’ve been a different game.
You should charge for your services
So like the opposite of our last game against the sixers
Your fault
Apparently we’re the same person.
Imma need you to not watch any Sixers games for the rest of the game, chief
Been saying it for a long time: this philly team can’t win. Tonight proved it- some guy on here probably
Time to blow it up
Relocate the team to Camden NJ
“It was obvious to anyone with eyes that there would be too many competing egos on this team. I always said this team would crash and burn, but the casuals here couldn’t accept it.”
Does LeBron have a no trade clause?
He’s good salary filler. Package him and Brown for someone
Is Paul George available?
You had me in the first half
If Bron and Embiid keep up their combined 10.7% it certainly won’t help lmao
honestly it is kinda embarrassing for the Cavs to get packed up by the thunder twice in a row and then roll over the “best” team in the east
Didn’t the thunder get dog walked by the mavs
Clearly the entire East < OKC < Mavs < Kings
I’m sure there’s a perfectly valid reason that isn’t indicative of the rest of their season
Yeah actually they were quite hurt lol
Who shit talks Nov basketball wins? Lol wtf
It’s a one off game in early November lol the team just had no legs tonight. It happens.
The first game against the cavs, I watched almost the whole game. It was pretty competitive and close.
Not really. Good teams have off games all the time. Just because you’re spoiled with the recent Thunder teams, doesn’t make it any less true.
“You get in that comment thread, and make it about you damnit!”
I mean clearly they CAN win given they entered the game with the best record in the league at 8-1.
Or are you saying they can’t win a ring? Because I do agree with that. They are too old and injury prone at this point.
he’s parodying people who act like this stacked ass roster can’t win (regular season and playoffs) when they very clearly can
Ha I didn’t even read to the end of the post I tuned out and rolled my eyes after the first sentence.
I still don’t see them competing for a ring given age, recent history of injury, and top heavy roster.
regular season sure playoffs they can win the 1st round maybe
They can win if they figure their shit out thankfully it’s only November if they keep doing this in December? Naw they have no chance.
The Philadelphia 76ers were not good at playing basketball tonight.
The goal is to put the ball in the hoop and score more points than the other team, and they didn’t do that well.
I also felt like they didn’t go a great job of not allowing the team to score more than them. Rookie mistake, honestly.
Magic?
Calm down with the advanced analytics, Magic.
I get it how bad games are a thing but damn this was wild asf
It’s happened a lot last year or two as he ages. I remember there were games last year where he was in the game late trying to get that 10 point streak up
Shit happens, sometimes them legs are just dead.
This was the tenth time LeBron has scored less than ten points in a regular season game (two in the playoffs) in his entire career
But it wasn’t just him tho. Like the entire sixers just collapsed
I blame the court. Gaudy as hell. Cavs probably saw it earlier or something idk
I hate our cup court.
When we lost @ Cleveland last March, I blamed their ugly-ass piss yellow court. Valid copium imo
It doesn’t look that bad in person. The tv contrast is crazy.
Dunno, I can relate even though I barely played competitive sport after 25. Some stadiums and lighting can just throw you off. Thing is, it rarely happens to an entire team. The sixers were smoking crack last night as a team.
It was Maxey’s birthday the other night so it’s possible
It’s not like basketball even matters so fuck it
I could barely follow the ball on the broadcast
Yea they both looked out of it for the game..
As a whole the entire team wasn’t locked in for the majority of the game. Shit happens
Something they gotta manage
LeBron had a lot of games like this last year in LA.
Yup. i remember a game vs phoenix where they were getting killed and he’s in the game late 4th chucking for that 10 point streak.
Is that the game where JJ was calling plays that LeBron ignores while taking to the suns players as they were getting destroyed?
I remember a ton of discourse around that one
No that was a different on. He took Bron out of that one IIRC
That was entirely a Reddit narrative.
He took 3 shots in the 4th q and scored 4 points. Reaves scored 6 and stayed in longer than him. Bron subbed out at like halfway thru the 4th q which is pretty normal for blowouts.
But it was LeBron so dudes acted like him subbing out at the 6 minute mark was evidence of statpadding lol
Should have been dispelled when he shortly thereafter passed up an opportunity to continue the streak
e: just double checked, in fact the 3rd shot he took was when he already had 10. so his chucking to get 10 was literally two shots in 6 minutes of play LMAO
You’re a ball knower
It was really early in the season where he didn’t really have any juice or rhythm. Also was coming off a sciatica issue. He was awesome once mid January hit and for the rest of the season.
LeBron was horrific tonight, shit shot selection and was a ghost on defense. Embiid couldn’t hit a cows backside with a banjo.
Alright fucking foghorn leghorn lol
This had me laughing; I reread the original comment in that accent, too xD
So I say, “Boy”
LeBron scored less than 10 points?
That streak was already broken last year.
My first reaction too. Holy shit, he only scored 8
Fewer but yes
Shout out Stannis
Stannis the Mannis
Nerd

He needed to play like 9 minutes of 4Q in a blowout just to get from 4 to 8. It’s not fun watching this guy play anymore.
He’s a 42yr old role player. Complaining about watching him play is like complaining about watching Al Horford or Mike Conley.
Comparing LeBron to Al Horford and Mike Conley in any way is flat out preposterous
Yeah, you’re right, because he’s 3yrs older than them.
Weird how people change how they perceive a player after one game.
He’s right, Lebron has lost his edge since 2024. He only locks in for the playoffs.
I guess he wasn’t locked in for 2024-25 when he was 2nd team All-NBA.
You think my opinion that I don’t enjoy watching him play anymore is based on just tonight’s game…? Jfc
The stuff he used to do poorly he still does poorly. Some of the stuff he was best at, like finishing in transition/through contact, is all but gone at this point. It’s not pretty. Others are free to enjoy watching his play still, but I don’t. The mojo is gone. Sorry.
Thats fine If you don’t like how he plays now. Though I’m not sure how would you enjoy seeing him play any other way at 41 years old.
pistons game he literally finished multiple left hand through contact and had multiple no look left hand assists. you probably don’t understand the basics of the game enough to even notice the difficulty of what he’s doing, regardless of his age.
Guess the 8 point streak is still there lol
Fairs to Cleveland. If there’s one team that should wanna kick our ass rn, I mean…
Atrocious game of us to watch in the 2nd half. We finally had the night where the comeback doesn’t work and we honestly needed it because it’s fun but we can’t sustain playing like that
I called it. The 76ers were not going to win 72 games this season.
Why would they even name them the 76ers if they don’t win 76 games ?
72 is still on the table …
So is 76….
See what happens when you don’t let the demons go up by 29!
VJ cant win with these cats
He started scaring me so much. And I swear whenever Maxey shoots I think it’s going in
yea VJ is legit our smartest player by a MILE
Maxey is a great scorer but hes still not a good passer or defender, and hes streaky
VJ is the reason well win if we win, hes also the most Clutch on top of being best defender, and smartest
Hes still not getting enough credit, take him off this team and they are out of playoffs in round 1, i guarentee it. Everytime he left court last year we lost the lead within seconds lol, and watch the team the year before without VJ…3rd pick in the NBA draft
VJ is not smarter than LeBron
He gets pretty good praise when discussed from what I see (obviously I’m not engaging with sixers discussions to much) but I still think people underrate the heck out of him.
Yes, it’s possible to have a bad game. Every team have multiple bad games, every year, regardless.
Does that end the double digit points streak or had that already ended
Already ended
the streak ended by him “making the right play” and passing to hachimura for a buzzer beater against the Raps instead of trying to take the last shot himself. lebronto no more
Ended in the playoffs years ago
Bad game but it happens. A lot of shots that were rolling around the rim or in and out.
Embiid just seemed off all game. It happens
He honestly looked a bit woozy or something.
I think LeBron and him got up to some shi the night before
LextenuatingCircumstances
In Cleveland? What did they do, go to the Rock and Roll hall of fame or the Columbus zoo ?
Maybe they decided to catch a cavs game during the trip, too
Like having two Draymonds and Steph is out
Why are they averaging 33 mpg to start the season Philly is 1st in East they just gotta make the playoffs with home court.
It’s nurses philosophy
He wants to injure them in November so he can Nurse them back to health later
And then maybe call the Doc?
I’d rather call Kevorkian than Rivers.
We always blame the coach, but Lebron, at least, is going to play exactly as much as he wants to. It’s probably been a long time since a coach told him how much he was going to play.
Because they need to rack up injuries in February. It’s the Sixers way.
33 Mpg is not a lot?
For a 42 year old it is
Playing a good amount of minutes in the regular season prevents soft tissue injuries in the playoffs when you ramp up. If you’re already ramped up, and your body is use to that, you won’t get injjred
They aren’t going to make it to April on this amount of minutes and games played.
And r/nba collectively creams their shorts 😂
I know nba success is new to you guys, but losing to this cavs team is embarrassing. Especially when 76rs fans are labeling this a super team.
I know that being an NBA team in general is pretty new to you guys…
Sincerely, a Seattle Supersonics fan.
Who are the sonics?
if you’ve ever interacted with real sixers fans, you’d know they’re the most critical and doubtful of their own team no matter how talented. we’ve had our share of talent and we’ve seen all of it blow up in smoke lol we’re not calling them a superteam
Run it back nba is a die hard long time 76rs guy lol
They are on YouTube making hour long videos
Ah now I see why people hate weird ass thunder fans
Damn…sick troll bro 💪🏼
OKCs hospital team is better than the best team in the east.
Word bruh….wooooord
Luckily if we somehow fluke it out of the East we certainly won’t be playing your team
The 76ers have 3 championships and 9 finals appearances..
Damn 1983. Think the goobers on here were even born yet?
Is that why this thread has so few upvotes?
Y’all wearing shorts in November?
This game looked like the Sixers were emotionally exhausted and haven’t had a day off in months.
Blame it on the Cavs’ floor color
Is this the first time in a long time that Lebron scored under double digits
Edit:Just check, the last time he scored under 10 was December last year so almost a year
Scored 9 against Toronto last season which ended his 7 billion game streak
not that long, he broke his streak last season in the win over the Raptors, i think
Better end it then than end it now with this performance.
These guys are old lmao
Embiid looks like Roy Hibbert now
Didn’t he put up 26⁄12 last game?
No one remembers that far back. It’s called the Stephen A. Smith philosophy….it’s only what someone does now in this moment in time that counts.
Sports discourse is fucked
26 with 15 boards against a top team in the east. tbf Pistons didn’t have their star center but still, people here love to overreact
It’s a bad game today. The Sixers were due one. It’s only early in November. The title isn’t won or lost in early November.
Just like Roy Hibbert at some point
Hes shooting 41% from the field for the season. Or if we’re going to get slightly more indepth, hes at 52.3 TS% for the season.
Significantly worse than his rookie year. The team is winning so its being masked but still its awful.
On 44% shooting, against Paul Reed, with the worst plus minus on the team 🤔
He did have one good scoring game. He’s now 117th in the league in fg%. As a center.
Sounds like angel reese
Nope, she’s about 4% better.
Parks and rec legend
Sad hoya saxa noises. I saw him in the cafe once. And I was at Verizon center when he hit that 3
That’s 100% spot fucking on
Yeah if you’re regarded
I don’t watch the sixers, he looked like Roy Hibbert tonight
and the whole media acting like those 4 dudes why we winning
VJ Edgecombe is only reason we win basketball games, if he scores 40 or 10…wed have 3rd pick again with Maxey ball like the year without Valdez.
We are so overrated cause VJ is our only smart player and hes 21, well if you dont count LeBron obv
please be ragebait
It is theyve been on every sixers post circle jerking about Embiid.
He’s a known troll who really should be banned on sight on the Sixers sub. His gimmick is to worship Edgecombe while shitting on every other player.
you are either one of our dumb Embiid fanboys
or you dont know anything about this team
we are DOG shit without VJ, a legit bad team
The way you’re commenting made me thought that the Sixers are off to a rough start into the season, 10 games in.
Very weird game. At one point feel like they were waiting for embiid to do more in the 3q then they just kinda died because he stopped looking at the rim and kept throwing grenades to teammates.
Hopefully gamblers can take this time to reflect on what the fuck they’re doing with their money
Embiid was awful today
Trust the process
Just run them both 25-30 minutes for maybe 40 games, Brown Maxey and VJ will get this team a top 4 seed. I’m not moved
You must not know who Nick Nurse is.
