OT: The Philadelphia Seventy Sixers: Great White North Edition

[Hollywood Cannon]

Hold up, did the Sixers lose by 25? Whoever said that should shut their mouth about basketball and stop being ignorant.

 

[Cody Webster]

How'd they not double or triple Khwai at the end? You know he was shooting

 

[FLYguy3911]

That shot was incredible. Still mindblowing.

They did.

 

[AaronTrieu]

i don’t even think a jump shot would help Simmons. He comes up small all the time

 

[Jack Straw]

So... what do we do To get this team to the next level?

Priorities should be signing Butler and Harris obviously, and putting together an NBA caliber bench. Hopefully Zhaire, Shake, and Bolden develop and help there. Absolutely, positively need a legit backup C. Like I said in an earlier post, just imagine the difference if we had Ibaka coming off the bench instead of Monroe.

 

[Cody Webster]

That shot was incredible. Still mindblowing.


They did.

At the top, then they let Embiid follow him to the corner

 

[Jack Straw]

We got 3 shot clock violations consecutively..

And Butler had significant responsibility on at least two of those. So let him walk then?

 

[Protest]

At the top, then they let Embiid follow him to the corner

I mean still that wasn't a good look and it shouldn't have gone in.

 

[YEM]

Simmons is afraid to play ball
He plays a cowardly game
Shameful...

 

[FLYguy3911]

At the top, then they let Embiid follow him to the corner

Because he sprinted to the corner. Simmons sprinting with him does no good. Kawhi needed every inch of his wingspan to get that shot off and by the grace of god it went in somehow.

 

[Cody Webster]

I mean still that wasn't a good look and it shouldn't have gone in.

Oh absolutely. But everyone in the world knew he was shooting the ball.

Hell of a break he got.

Oh well

That's not a fair response man.

 

[AaronTrieu]

At the top, then they let Embiid follow him to the corner

Ben let Embiid take him and he just stopped moving his legs like Kawhi wasn’t going to take the shot ‍

 

[Redpath]

As a casual observer at best, where do you go from here if Butler and Harris walk?

You obviously don't.

 

[Jack Straw]

That's not a fair response man.

Why not? He’s an experienced veteran. He should know better.

 

[Cody Webster]

Simmons was 4 of 5 in a winner take all game 7. That's embarrassing

Also the offensive rebounds....16-5

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Still can’t believe that shot went in.*

*Well actually I fully can because we’re Philadelphia.

 

[Jack Straw]

This might be the photo of the year

 

[Tripod]

This might be the photo of the year

Here it is expanded. Lots of different emotions going on:

 

[Jack Straw]

JJ is having a tough time keeping it together in the post game interview.

 

[Lotusflower]

Classic game. Sucks to be on the losing end.
Hard to beat a 1st Ballot HOFer on the road w players that are still developing.
Jo with 5 missed 3s. Simmon with 5 shots total.
As their relationship continues that'll be the crux. More aggression from Simmons, better shot selection from Jo.

Re-sign Tobi + Jimmy and integrate your young players (Zhaire, Bolden, Shake) into your bench next year.

 

[PhillyWings]

Time to find Brown's replacement and trade Simmons and Joel.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Another one bites the dust.

 

[Jack Straw]

Hard to believe that was the first walk-off game seven winner in NBA history. And of course it happens against us.
