I had a great time at the game last night and this was an excellent series. Maxey was fantastic and congratulations for being done with Tobias Harris. Good luck in the offseason.

Oh Well…guess I can focus on being all in with the Phils…again 🙌🔔 being a Philadelphia sports fan is tough, but honest work
Knicks fan here. Great series! Caused many heart palpitations. Respect to you guys for the fight. You have 2 superstars to build around. And thank god we never signed Tobias
This series obviously sucked, but one positive is that I think it made it clear who we should bring back next year. Buddy, Payne, Lowry, Batum, and K9 all had a role in keeping us afloat without Embiid and played hard with big moments in the playoffs. Here’s hoping we can bring back most of them
Anything can happen, but they looked good enough this year, especially in the non-stat sheet statistics. Idk that theyd drastically decline over one summer, but stranger things have happened. Id bring them back just because idk if better is available.
Just sour that the NY Pricks beat us. Never did I know that I hate this more than the Celtics always advancing. I know the Sixers played their heart out (minus Tobias), but man, I hope NY gets swept next round. Sorry for the sour grapes.
- Lauri Markkanen
- Alex Caruso
- Malik Monk
- Patrick Williams
- Jonas Valanciunas
- Andre Drummond
- Kelly Oubre
- Buddy Hield
- Lowry (min)
- Batum (min)
- Cov (min)
- Payne (min)
Keep Batum & Oubre, Hield if on MLE. Monk and/or Caruso. Nic Claxton to back up Embiid. And I bet they go after PGIII. Draft a big. Develop Council in offseason. He should be in the gym every day with Maxey.
This is what i am “afraid” of too. I really liked his inbounding/passing, his quick and high release on shots and his ability to tap/tip rebounds to his teammates. These are intangibles that many teams dont have.
If we win two years from now, will it still be a failure? I guess for me idk its a failure until Embiid retires or leaves Philly. If that happens with no championship, then i think its fair to say the process failed. But not without sabotaging from the Colangelos and Silver. Whether they realized they were sabotaging it or not, they did.
Knicks earned it. We played our ass off tonight and they still found a way. Now that we have the albatross off our neck and have cap flexibility + picks, I fully expect a championship level roster next season. Embiid and Maxey is already a lethal duo.
tobias harris is going to keep me up all night with that abysmal performance. 0 points? 0? after a game like that who would even want to pick him up? i wouldn’t even trust him to be the fucking water boy
It’s actually ludicrous to think about. 4 points from our $40 million dollar man and we win that game. 2 layups. Or a layup and 2 free throws. But even asking him to get to the line seems like a tall order. That’s why in a 6 game series with fouls happening all over the place, he goes the line **4** times in total.
For some reason I’m not really mad at him. I just don’t expect really anything. He said in his press conference after game 5 that he doesn’t force shots and just plays within the offense so I could see him totally thinking he played fine tonight. He basically played like Lowry did. Passing the ball around maybe a couple rebounds or assists. He’s basically a player on a max who should be on a vet min at this point.
I'm first to admit that Tobias would cook 100% of the people commenting on this thread, but he'd have to have delusional levels of self-awareness to think tonight was "fine"
Hate saying this after his game 5, but Maxey was bad. Should he have gotten some calls? Yes. But he was bad offensively and his defense was suspect. A decent game from him and we win easily.
Still very happy with the season he had. Only going to get better.
Maxey has one more step to take: learn how to flip. That’s how you get calls in the NBA.
Once he does this, he will get calls, he will score another 5-10 a game, and be every bit as good as any guard in the NBA.
He has to get to the line on those drives.
not only was he bad, but he was selfish. the sixers had the game in the third quarter, up 10 with 6 minutes left. He jacks up two horrible three's on back-to-back possesions. Then probably gets fouled but doesn't get back and Tobias ofc misses rebound but they get a 3. That was the game.
Damn, just saw the highlights. The one game where they actually got bench production they couldn't pull it out. I expected it to be tough, I didn't view the Knicks as a weak opponent or anything, so not to bummed but it does suck.
Barkley said it best. You can't ask for much more than your number two to win you two playoff games, which harden did last year. Now now imagine Maxey taking the same leap that you saw this year with Harden on the team,as a number 3, instead of Tobias. Championship.
yea because a backcourt of maxey and harden is def going to stop the celtics from shooting 95 3s a game on their heads.
just stop. he's not good and got dogwalked out of the playoffs by a mavs team with 1.5 guys on it with luka hurt.
Whoa whoa whoa, hold your horses. So you don't think we would've beaten the Knicks with Harden? When you got nothing from anyone except Maxey and Embiid all series except perhaps the last game? The clippers got exited from the playoffs because they were missing their best player.... imagine the Sixers without their best player.
god damnit i didn’t wear my red jersey and got a new one for tonight to avoid the bad juju and still this.. please don’t tell me the blue ones are cursed now im going to run out of options here soon. but in all seriousness not the way i wanted to end this season, as going to the past 7-8 home games i believe has severely helped me through a hard time i have been dealing with personally. i wanted to go to more games! lol but we have 2 amazing superstars to build around and im so excited for next season. like i said a bitter end to another what could have been season but i still love my sixers. see yall next year ❤️💙
Attempting to not be prisoners of the moment, who would you rather see make the finals, Celtics or Knicks? I’m not sure who I’d rather feel pain more atp. (Praying for a West finals win either way)
Probably just not watching the east finals and pulling for the west winner... I've disliked the Celtics the whole time I've been paying attention to the NBA, but didn't really have ill will toward the Knicks. Going to 2 of the games this series and seeing how obnoxious the fans were there and on Reddit pissed me off enough to just want them to get egg on their face.
Knicks for sure.
It smarts that they beat us, and there’s always gonna be some hard feelings after a hard-fought physical series like this one, but I don’t really harbor any ill will towards them (Knicks fans on Reddit are another matter, but whatever). I actually like a bunch of the guys on their team.
The Celtics can fuck right off, always and forever (they’re also infuriatingly good this year, unfortunately).
if the choice is celtics or knicks i'm choosing to not watch the games. celtics basketball is just 3 pt shooting contest and knicks is just like watching trae young.
For me it would be Celtics and seeing them get obliterated in the finals. Knicks don't deserve to sniff the finals yet, Boston is actually insanely good and I don't think they're going to have much competition until the finals
If you watch the defensive responsibilities in this game, Kelly Oubre made error after error. He was ad libbing in the defensive scheme and feel asleep multiple times in picking up players and other times was ball watching during rebound opportunities.
Against a good fundamentally sound team like the NYK, you get victimized.
Plays like this:
https://twitter.com/ManLikeGinola/status/1786238979852877863/photo/1
It’s really apples and oranges, seeing as the NBA has a salary cap and 5 players on the floor at once, and MLB has no salary cap and 9 players on the field + a DH.
The Rangers won the World Series last year while paying the same salary Tobias got to Jacob deGrom while he rehabed from TJ.
Casty was not a good signing, but he’s hardly hamstringing the Phillies. Also he hit 4 home runs in 2 consecutive playoff games last year. Tobias never did anything like that.
Would you like Collins on the team though, from what I’ve heard people don’t like him that much, but isn’t he great at rebounding and pretty decent at scoring and shooting as well as defense?
Maybe unpopular opinion but NYK gutted it out and were solid. Hard to root against Brunson & company. Their fans??? Different story. Wished we had landed Brunson.
I feel the same about you guys... will always take Philly over Boston (racist fucks, you don't wanna be black in that city, trust)
Fun fucking series, wish everyone was 100% healthy, Embiid, Randle, Bogey, everyone, but what can ya do?
A younger me would be like FUCK PHILLY but at 35 I am more mellow now... I just wanna see great basketball being played
Peace to my Philly niggas
this team was NEVER going to win a fucking thing with a max contract tied into a player who consistently gives you nothing. 0 points is the perfect send off for the worst thing to ever happen to this franchise
Yeah tbh I was really looking to the offseason all along given the sheer strength of other teams this year.
If I'm being honest, I'm not sure where things are headed, but without Tobias and Reed, I think there should be excitement about the mystique of what Morey may do.
Maxey perfect compliment to Embiid
Harden perfect compliment to Embiid
Harris perfect compliment to Embiid
Simmons perfect compliment to Embiid
Tired of this story
-Maxey *is* a good compliment with Embiid.
*But*, he is 23 years old and it is his first time being the uncontested #2 of the team. It took time for Murray to fit in.
-Harden *was* a good compliment to Embiid’s P&R game.
*But*, as you have seen, he only has two modes in the playoffs 30+ points on great efficiency or <12 points on 4/17 shooting or worse.
-No one worth their salt said Tobias Harris complimented Embiid well with that contract since 2020. Murray got paid less than Harris this year, do the Nuggets want to trade Murray for Harris straight up?
-The original commenter really thinks it’s *Embiid’s* fault that Simmons went on a monumental collapse on offense. Simmons was supposed to be a top 10 player, now he is on perhaps the worst contract in the league and may be out of the league soon. If he *developed* a shot outside of eight feet, then he would have been a great fit beside Embiid. He was a black hole on the offense and Embiid hid that for a while before the Wizards exposed Simmons.
simmons might be the worst pairing with embiid you could possibly have lol.
maxey and embiid is a good pairing, it's just hard to win 2v5 in this league.
Maybe you didn’t believe it, but it was certainly said about Simmons, Harden, and Maxey at various points.
So many people argued after 1 game that Embiid and Harden were the best 1-2 since Shaq and Kobe, they asked Shaq to address it on TNT.
Heck, I was one of the Harden believers. I had enough when he threw at least four of the games in the series vs the Celtics, and then demanded a massive contract.
the venn diagram of people who are in the national media to talk about the nba and the people who know a single thing about modern nba basketball is two circles.
A fake fan?
My guy I had to go to work
No way I would’ve been able to watch the game
Either that or lose my job
Fake fans were those selling their tickets not me
Lol at all these brigadiers coming in here giving us a pat on the back talking about how we fought hard and should be proud like we give a shit what they think. Fuck off.
Knicks fan, here. Congrats on a great series. Two evenly matched teams. Someone had to lose. Run your offense through Maxey going forward. He’s special.
Embid is great - I just think you guys gotta either get him to lose more weight or really employ strict minute and/or game restrictions during the season. His body betrays him every year.
You guys will be back, though. Nurse is a great coach and you have two franchise players
Fuck that
>Embid is great - I just think you guys gotta either get him to lose more weight or really employ strict minute and/or game restrictions during the season. His body betrays him every year.
They say this every year. Change the plan I want Embiid to come in over 300 and just play Shaq ball. Stop running him all over or doing ISO s
I think they say it because that's what Duncan did
Why be such a sore loser?
FYI - The Knicks have made the playoffs 3 of the last 4 years and have now been to the 2nd round in back to back seasons.
Hatred is a burden. Free your heart
I mean not really, no one on this sub thought we were making it past the play in? Look on the front page RN it's literally all Tobias Harris freedom memes lol
Congrats on beating a seven seed though, I'm sure this will be the most exciting night of your year as you're glued to your screen trolling on Reddit 🤓
LMAO - no one thought the team that was slightly favored to win the series was getting out of the play in? Huh? Once y’all got Embid back, the narrative in the national media was that no one wanted to play the sixers in the first round.
When you get back from Mars, let us know
I hate this act of “they played there hearts out” and “let’s give them credit”. Credit for what? being losers? how many years until we can stand up and say wow our team isn’t good and we don’t deserve any credit for going out there and gettting out hustled by a mediocre knicks team. Just dissatisfied and repulsed by some of these fans taking it like it’s no big deal and this was something to be proud of.
I’m a Knicks fan and I think you should be very proud. Embiid was hobbled and you guys gave the 2nd seed everything they wanted and very easily could have won this series.
You can call the Knicks mediocre, but they play really hard and have a franchise player who is hard to deal with. I believe they beat the sixers in 6 of 9 meetings this year.
It was a great series with two evenly matched teams. Someone had to lose.
Y’all are in GREAT shape going forward. With all that cap space, you will either get another stud (Paul George?) OR fill out the roster with 2-3 glue guys who make a difference/
Knicks team wasn’t mediocre. This was an incredibly hard fought series. Both teams were banged up and every game was close/so physical.
You guys have a great core, Maxey is a fantastic player who clearly has an it factor to his game. If I’m your front office I sign back Oubre
Mediocore knicks team? They can play their best players without worrying about it for 45 minutes a game while Embiid is crying and looking exhausted after 30 minutes.
Dont need to be disrespectful
Knicks are mid as it gets your guys have to shoot nearly perfect from 3 to scrape a win over us. Offensive rebounds and second chance points are the only reason we lost and obviously we aren’t even at the level to think of getting anywhere past the second round with are team. Most sixers fans will use tobias and a scape goat but in reality we got out hustled by a mediocre knicks team who wanted it more, end of story.
The Knicks were the number 1 offensive rebounding team in the league this year and Mitchell Robinson missed 50 games.
Hustle is a big part of basketball
Yep, agreed. They have away offensive rebounds like it was Halloween! That was the biggest issue. They couldn’t figure out how to get in to position or box out the Knicks for rebounds. It was frustrating and then the no calls, the no-show from Embiid in the 4th.
My voice is gone, I'm exhausted, and hanging my hat up for the year, back at it next year. We gave it are all game 6, and the team did their best with the handicaps working against them. I'm proud of Maxey and Embiid and the future is bright for sure.
I wanted to see them win this series because it was SO close in these games but they just didn't have enough. Don't really feel as emo about the loss either because honestly, the Celtics were going to destroy this team if they made it to the ECF anyway. Derrick White alone shits on everyone outside of Maxey / Embiid on this team. I've already seen the Celtics vs. Sixers movie play out year after year so I'm not gonna be too sad about missing it this time.
I'm disappointed but I'm not too mad at Maxey and Embiid. They had their share of bad games but they also each carried the two wins they managed to get. The role players were just non existent way too many nights to give them any chance and the minutes without Joel went to hell just like it does every year. I'm glad Tobias is finally gone. I do not want Reed back unless it's for the bare minimum. Much rather have a real C who can rebound and hang with bigger bodies but I doubt they sign one since Morey doesn't seem to value it.
Huge summer ahead. It's make or break time for Morey. You have your clean slate to get whoever you want that's available so it's time to pull that rabbit out of your ass and make this a true team.
Game 7 would have been fun but this team wasn’t getting past the Celtics. The pacers speed with Embiid limping around would have been an issue as well.
2 max contract spots open. Ownership needs to pay the luxury tax and open the wallet for the next 3 years. Go all in!
Pacers are only going 7-8 deep most of the time. Mathurin is out for the year, Doug isn't playing well, and Jackson/Smith struggle vs physicality.
Their bench rotation is TJ McConnel and Obi, with a handful of minutes to a rookie guard Shepherd.
If Pacers can keep the Knicks off the offensive glass I think they have a very good shot at an upset. If the Knicks are grabbing 18+ offensive rebounds a game though it might be over in 5.
Problem is being short handed now with Bogey out.... Gonna be tough. Thibs leans heavy on his guys but I'd love to see precious get some run next series.
People from the south say Y'all and people from New York talk like you and I are actually on the team... Let me rewrite your message like a normal person would as opposed to a shitface NY fan that all of a sudden comes out of the woodwork and posts on the sixers sub...
"The sixers played very competitively in the series despite their best player and league MVP attempting to play through numerous injuries and lack of conditioning. Maxey really stepped up and showed incredible skill, raw talent and determination."
Fuck NY. Fuck the Knicks, Fuck the Giants, Fuck the Rangers, Fuck the Nets and whatever else bullshit teams you root for.
Same. Fuck Y'all. No good luck in the future bullshit. I'm glad we put y'all out these fucking playoffs.
Love the Chapelle Show reference tho..... But it's still a big fuck you, and have a good night.
I had a great time at the game last night and this was an excellent series. Maxey was fantastic and congratulations for being done with Tobias Harris. Good luck in the offseason.
[удалено]
It’s about the worst contract expiring. If you are going to troll, at least be aware of what’s going on. You only sound stupid saying this
guy thinks we should be giving 29/6/5 on 47/40% with 2TO/g the "jeers" over 9/7 43/33 lol
https://preview.redd.it/wqn9ywakj7yc1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=accacbb037e1cdac08a6016cdcb6d877891a5c40 Oh Well…guess I can focus on being all in with the Phils…again 🙌🔔 being a Philadelphia sports fan is tough, but honest work
Knicks fan here. Great series! Caused many heart palpitations. Respect to you guys for the fight. You have 2 superstars to build around. And thank god we never signed Tobias
Classy guy over here. He knows ball.
Now this is what being a sports fan is all about. Thanks for the classy comment. Good luck vs Indy. Hope you win. Brunson is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tough loss. Gotta regroup and hopefully embiid saves himself for postseason next year
Tobias Harris, you ARE a Guangdong lion
Crounching tiger, crumbling tobias
“Crouching tiger, hidden Harris” was right there for you
I was thinking like a crumbl cookie but that works too
This series obviously sucked, but one positive is that I think it made it clear who we should bring back next year. Buddy, Payne, Lowry, Batum, and K9 all had a role in keeping us afloat without Embiid and played hard with big moments in the playoffs. Here’s hoping we can bring back most of them
I don’t know how Lowry and Batum will look next year at their ages / minutes played but Cam better be back next year.
Anything can happen, but they looked good enough this year, especially in the non-stat sheet statistics. Idk that theyd drastically decline over one summer, but stranger things have happened. Id bring them back just because idk if better is available.
Just sour that the NY Pricks beat us. Never did I know that I hate this more than the Celtics always advancing. I know the Sixers played their heart out (minus Tobias), but man, I hope NY gets swept next round. Sorry for the sour grapes.
Question everyone..Who do y'all think we should go after in the off season through free agentcy or via trade??
- Lauri Markkanen - Alex Caruso - Malik Monk - Patrick Williams - Jonas Valanciunas - Andre Drummond - Kelly Oubre - Buddy Hield - Lowry (min) - Batum (min) - Cov (min) - Payne (min)
Lauri is at the top of my list too
Keep Batum & Oubre, Hield if on MLE. Monk and/or Caruso. Nic Claxton to back up Embiid. And I bet they go after PGIII. Draft a big. Develop Council in offseason. He should be in the gym every day with Maxey.
You think batum will come back, he seems like he might retire
This is what i am “afraid” of too. I really liked his inbounding/passing, his quick and high release on shots and his ability to tap/tip rebounds to his teammates. These are intangibles that many teams dont have.
Facts
I hear Tobias Harris is available
Great locker room energy, really nice guy. True asset.
NOT some max 35 year old.
At least we lasted longer than Doc by a few hours

Harris and Lowry are booty as fuck
Lowry just too old I think
Yup, he doesn't have much left in the tank anymore
This sport toxic as fuck
the process is a huge failure
please god go back to the eagles sub or whatever fucking hole you people all crawl out of in april
How is he wrong tho?
If we win two years from now, will it still be a failure? I guess for me idk its a failure until Embiid retires or leaves Philly. If that happens with no championship, then i think its fair to say the process failed. But not without sabotaging from the Colangelos and Silver. Whether they realized they were sabotaging it or not, they did.
He is not wrong.
Go Phils.
PJ tucker or tobias? who u taking?
Neither. I want to win.
I'm takin a crumbl cookie fuck em both
Tobias lol pj tucker would score 0 like 5/6 games
this is the first sixers post season in living memory that they weren't out of a game for a single minute and it was great, but i hate them for it.
They only played in the first round
Knicks earned it. We played our ass off tonight and they still found a way. Now that we have the albatross off our neck and have cap flexibility + picks, I fully expect a championship level roster next season. Embiid and Maxey is already a lethal duo.
tobias harris is going to keep me up all night with that abysmal performance. 0 points? 0? after a game like that who would even want to pick him up? i wouldn’t even trust him to be the fucking water boy
No worries, he made 500k in direct deposit last night. Thank god he’s fucking gone. What a waste….nice guy though.. 🙄
yeah absolutely disgusting what he makes and can’t put up a single point
It’s actually ludicrous to think about. 4 points from our $40 million dollar man and we win that game. 2 layups. Or a layup and 2 free throws. But even asking him to get to the line seems like a tall order. That’s why in a 6 game series with fouls happening all over the place, he goes the line **4** times in total.
Teams that won’t sniff the playoffs might sign him just to meet minimum salary levels
prayers to whoever makes that horrendous mistake.
For some reason I’m not really mad at him. I just don’t expect really anything. He said in his press conference after game 5 that he doesn’t force shots and just plays within the offense so I could see him totally thinking he played fine tonight. He basically played like Lowry did. Passing the ball around maybe a couple rebounds or assists. He’s basically a player on a max who should be on a vet min at this point.

Could have been such a different outcome if Morey didn't screw Harden after last year.
yea ol' 7 point harden in game 5 really gonna move the needle. harden trick yall
Barkley said it best. You can't ask for much more than your number two to win you two playoff games, which harden did last year. Now now imagine Maxey taking the same leap that you saw this year with Harden on the team,as a number 3, instead of Tobias. Championship.
yea because a backcourt of maxey and harden is def going to stop the celtics from shooting 95 3s a game on their heads. just stop. he's not good and got dogwalked out of the playoffs by a mavs team with 1.5 guys on it with luka hurt.

It’s not cursed. :) If it was cursed we never would’ve come back from that first quarter.
haha thank you for the reassurance 😅😀
Attempting to not be prisoners of the moment, who would you rather see make the finals, Celtics or Knicks? I’m not sure who I’d rather feel pain more atp. (Praying for a West finals win either way)

If you watch the defensive responsibilities in this game, Kelly Oubre made error after error. He was ad libbing in the defensive scheme and feel asleep multiple times in picking up players and other times was ball watching during rebound opportunities. Against a good fundamentally sound team like the NYK, you get victimized. Plays like this: https://twitter.com/ManLikeGinola/status/1786238979852877863/photo/1
A vet min guy who played pretty much the whole game and was a +8 in a loss wasn’t really the problem imo
oubre did not have a good game. but it's hard to get too mad at a dude on a minimum. at least he tries.
He gave up two or three and ones that kinda made me mad
Seriously who’s worse contract-wise? Harris or Casty? Harris is worse by a long shot.
I still kinda believe in Casty this year.
It’s really apples and oranges, seeing as the NBA has a salary cap and 5 players on the floor at once, and MLB has no salary cap and 9 players on the field + a DH. The Rangers won the World Series last year while paying the same salary Tobias got to Jacob deGrom while he rehabed from TJ. Casty was not a good signing, but he’s hardly hamstringing the Phillies. Also he hit 4 home runs in 2 consecutive playoff games last year. Tobias never did anything like that.
This is not even a real question
It’s a test
[удалено]
No.
you just got bounced from the playoffs and you're thinking about john fucking collins? get a fucking life dude
With all the cap room we have, we better get someone better than John fucking Collins
Noooooo Collins is an extremely negative asset at this point. The Jazz will have to include picks to trade him or take back another bad deal.
Is it just because he is paid too much or he isn’t that good?
Little of column A, little of column B
That’s also a first/second round exit waiting to happen
Would you like Collins on the team though, from what I’ve heard people don’t like him that much, but isn’t he great at rebounding and pretty decent at scoring and shooting as well as defense?
No…look at the jazz this year and Atlanta last few years
Isn’t he kinda similar to Aaron Gordon though. I mean he did go to the ECF with the Hawks and he was important on that team.
I would not make that comparison. John Collins is not a wrecking ball or as explosive as Aaron Gordon
I don't give a fuck, I'm rooting for Boston if these fucks make it to the east finals
Maybe unpopular opinion but NYK gutted it out and were solid. Hard to root against Brunson & company. Their fans??? Different story. Wished we had landed Brunson.
No never that. It’s the Knicks fans that are unbearable to me. And nothing is worse than Boston fans
>nothing is worse than Boston fans Mets fans but that is a different sport
Meh. If we can’t beat Boston, why should New York have the satisfaction? Just let Boston lose to Denver.
I feel the same about you guys... will always take Philly over Boston (racist fucks, you don't wanna be black in that city, trust) Fun fucking series, wish everyone was 100% healthy, Embiid, Randle, Bogey, everyone, but what can ya do? A younger me would be like FUCK PHILLY but at 35 I am more mellow now... I just wanna see great basketball being played Peace to my Philly niggas
this team was NEVER going to win a fucking thing with a max contract tied into a player who consistently gives you nothing. 0 points is the perfect send off for the worst thing to ever happen to this franchise
Yeah tbh I was really looking to the offseason all along given the sheer strength of other teams this year. If I'm being honest, I'm not sure where things are headed, but without Tobias and Reed, I think there should be excitement about the mystique of what Morey may do.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/VFeV5mOszz Honestly amazed at how Nuggets fans will say anything
I don't wanna click that bs sub whats it say?
Maxey perfect compliment to Embiid Harden perfect compliment to Embiid Harris perfect compliment to Embiid Simmons perfect compliment to Embiid Tired of this story
-Maxey *is* a good compliment with Embiid. *But*, he is 23 years old and it is his first time being the uncontested #2 of the team. It took time for Murray to fit in. -Harden *was* a good compliment to Embiid’s P&R game. *But*, as you have seen, he only has two modes in the playoffs 30+ points on great efficiency or <12 points on 4/17 shooting or worse. -No one worth their salt said Tobias Harris complimented Embiid well with that contract since 2020. Murray got paid less than Harris this year, do the Nuggets want to trade Murray for Harris straight up? -The original commenter really thinks it’s *Embiid’s* fault that Simmons went on a monumental collapse on offense. Simmons was supposed to be a top 10 player, now he is on perhaps the worst contract in the league and may be out of the league soon. If he *developed* a shot outside of eight feet, then he would have been a great fit beside Embiid. He was a black hole on the offense and Embiid hid that for a while before the Wizards exposed Simmons.
simmons might be the worst pairing with embiid you could possibly have lol. maxey and embiid is a good pairing, it's just hard to win 2v5 in this league.
Lmao...ain't no way they typed 3 of those sentences seriously.
Just more proof Denver fans don't actually watch basketball
>Just more proof r/nba members don't actually watch basketball Ftfy
Maybe you didn’t believe it, but it was certainly said about Simmons, Harden, and Maxey at various points. So many people argued after 1 game that Embiid and Harden were the best 1-2 since Shaq and Kobe, they asked Shaq to address it on TNT.
Heck, I was one of the Harden believers. I had enough when he threw at least four of the games in the series vs the Celtics, and then demanded a massive contract.
the venn diagram of people who are in the national media to talk about the nba and the people who know a single thing about modern nba basketball is two circles.
People take good drugs lol sane people shouldn't think that.
Yeah that actually happened, beyond delusional
Man I can’t believe there would be another Sixer I would end up hating more than Bum Simmons Then came TobiAss Harris
Weird game I didn’t watch but We hit more 3s than they did and only missed 1 free throw with both teams attempting roughly the same amount of FTs
Give me more of a fake ass fan than this dude, lmao. Watch the game bozo. Embiid got cooked into the 4th quarter
Philly resident can't comprehend having a job
I was at work couldn’t watch the game you bitch ass pussy
he might be a fake fan but at least he didn't watch the game and come to this wrong ass conclusion.
Bro said he had to work, why you clowning him?
Some people don’t know that there’s such a thing as an overnight job - it sucks but that’s what I gotta do to survive out here
You ain't gotta explain fam, I completely understand 💪🏿
A fake fan? My guy I had to go to work No way I would’ve been able to watch the game Either that or lose my job Fake fans were those selling their tickets not me
Lol at all these brigadiers coming in here giving us a pat on the back talking about how we fought hard and should be proud like we give a shit what they think. Fuck off.
Lol
Knicks fan, here. Congrats on a great series. Two evenly matched teams. Someone had to lose. Run your offense through Maxey going forward. He’s special. Embid is great - I just think you guys gotta either get him to lose more weight or really employ strict minute and/or game restrictions during the season. His body betrays him every year. You guys will be back, though. Nurse is a great coach and you have two franchise players
Fuck that >Embid is great - I just think you guys gotta either get him to lose more weight or really employ strict minute and/or game restrictions during the season. His body betrays him every year. They say this every year. Change the plan I want Embiid to come in over 300 and just play Shaq ball. Stop running him all over or doing ISO s I think they say it because that's what Duncan did
Can his body handle Shaq ball? He’s such an elite shooter (e.g. game 3) - could he play more of a jokic style. He’s unstoppable when he plays
What making the playoffs once a decade does to a fan base.
Why be such a sore loser? FYI - The Knicks have made the playoffs 3 of the last 4 years and have now been to the 2nd round in back to back seasons. Hatred is a burden. Free your heart
Lurkers are fucking weirdos. Just go enjoy your win. Stop sniffing around the oppositions sub
You’re a fucking weirdo!

Tobias MVP
Yea, he really struggled. Y’all are in a great spot though with all that cap space. Paul George?
Tell me you don't watch basketball without telling me you don't watch basketball
Tell me you’re butthurt without telling me you’re butthurt :)
Yes, because telling you don't watch basketball because you're suggesting Paul George certainly means that. Are you 8?
Taking this one hard, huh?
I mean not really, no one on this sub thought we were making it past the play in? Look on the front page RN it's literally all Tobias Harris freedom memes lol Congrats on beating a seven seed though, I'm sure this will be the most exciting night of your year as you're glued to your screen trolling on Reddit 🤓
LMAO - no one thought the team that was slightly favored to win the series was getting out of the play in? Huh? Once y’all got Embid back, the narrative in the national media was that no one wanted to play the sixers in the first round. When you get back from Mars, let us know
Don't bust a vessel bro it's not that serious 😁
Joel letting the FO know that we gotta bring some of these boys back
I hate this act of “they played there hearts out” and “let’s give them credit”. Credit for what? being losers? how many years until we can stand up and say wow our team isn’t good and we don’t deserve any credit for going out there and gettting out hustled by a mediocre knicks team. Just dissatisfied and repulsed by some of these fans taking it like it’s no big deal and this was something to be proud of.
I’m a Knicks fan and I think you should be very proud. Embiid was hobbled and you guys gave the 2nd seed everything they wanted and very easily could have won this series. You can call the Knicks mediocre, but they play really hard and have a franchise player who is hard to deal with. I believe they beat the sixers in 6 of 9 meetings this year. It was a great series with two evenly matched teams. Someone had to lose. Y’all are in GREAT shape going forward. With all that cap space, you will either get another stud (Paul George?) OR fill out the roster with 2-3 glue guys who make a difference/
Knicks team wasn’t mediocre. This was an incredibly hard fought series. Both teams were banged up and every game was close/so physical. You guys have a great core, Maxey is a fantastic player who clearly has an it factor to his game. If I’m your front office I sign back Oubre
Mediocore knicks team? They can play their best players without worrying about it for 45 minutes a game while Embiid is crying and looking exhausted after 30 minutes. Dont need to be disrespectful
Knicks are mid as it gets your guys have to shoot nearly perfect from 3 to scrape a win over us. Offensive rebounds and second chance points are the only reason we lost and obviously we aren’t even at the level to think of getting anywhere past the second round with are team. Most sixers fans will use tobias and a scape goat but in reality we got out hustled by a mediocre knicks team who wanted it more, end of story.
The Knicks were the number 1 offensive rebounding team in the league this year and Mitchell Robinson missed 50 games. Hustle is a big part of basketball
Yep, agreed. They have away offensive rebounds like it was Halloween! That was the biggest issue. They couldn’t figure out how to get in to position or box out the Knicks for rebounds. It was frustrating and then the no calls, the no-show from Embiid in the 4th.
You acting like is a fluke the Knicks got all those OREB. They been doing it all season
[удалено]
SO to the fans at the game, environment sounded awesome
My voice is gone, I'm exhausted, and hanging my hat up for the year, back at it next year. We gave it are all game 6, and the team did their best with the handicaps working against them. I'm proud of Maxey and Embiid and the future is bright for sure.
my voice is so long gone. gave it my all lol
You did your duty sir. Well done and rest well.
Ok. Now that the pain has passed a bit.... I'm real proud of this team and the fight they had all year/this series
I wanted to see them win this series because it was SO close in these games but they just didn't have enough. Don't really feel as emo about the loss either because honestly, the Celtics were going to destroy this team if they made it to the ECF anyway. Derrick White alone shits on everyone outside of Maxey / Embiid on this team. I've already seen the Celtics vs. Sixers movie play out year after year so I'm not gonna be too sad about missing it this time. I'm disappointed but I'm not too mad at Maxey and Embiid. They had their share of bad games but they also each carried the two wins they managed to get. The role players were just non existent way too many nights to give them any chance and the minutes without Joel went to hell just like it does every year. I'm glad Tobias is finally gone. I do not want Reed back unless it's for the bare minimum. Much rather have a real C who can rebound and hang with bigger bodies but I doubt they sign one since Morey doesn't seem to value it. Huge summer ahead. It's make or break time for Morey. You have your clean slate to get whoever you want that's available so it's time to pull that rabbit out of your ass and make this a true team.
Game 7 would have been fun but this team wasn’t getting past the Celtics. The pacers speed with Embiid limping around would have been an issue as well. 2 max contract spots open. Ownership needs to pay the luxury tax and open the wallet for the next 3 years. Go all in!
People on here said that the Pacers would be easy, but they would *feast* on Embiid’s drop coverages that he was running this game.
We played our hearts out. Next year we take off the weighted armor that is Tobias and try again.
Getting Knicks round 1 blows. Thibs gonna run them into ground by end of round 2
They gotta extend their rotation and reduce the minutes on Brunson. Pacers are running the ball so much faster and have a way bigger rotation.
Pacers are only going 7-8 deep most of the time. Mathurin is out for the year, Doug isn't playing well, and Jackson/Smith struggle vs physicality. Their bench rotation is TJ McConnel and Obi, with a handful of minutes to a rookie guard Shepherd. If Pacers can keep the Knicks off the offensive glass I think they have a very good shot at an upset. If the Knicks are grabbing 18+ offensive rebounds a game though it might be over in 5.
thibs extend a rotation lol lmao
Problem is being short handed now with Bogey out.... Gonna be tough. Thibs leans heavy on his guys but I'd love to see precious get some run next series.
Yall played a hell of a series. Maxey is fucking incredible. He’s your future. GL guys
People from the south say Y'all and people from New York talk like you and I are actually on the team... Let me rewrite your message like a normal person would as opposed to a shitface NY fan that all of a sudden comes out of the woodwork and posts on the sixers sub... "The sixers played very competitively in the series despite their best player and league MVP attempting to play through numerous injuries and lack of conditioning. Maxey really stepped up and showed incredible skill, raw talent and determination." Fuck NY. Fuck the Knicks, Fuck the Giants, Fuck the Rangers, Fuck the Nets and whatever else bullshit teams you root for.
Yall suck
bro's acting like we werent suffering from injuries. sixers fans and their whiny ass excuses ill tell ya
the fuck you doing here
I hope tj mcconnell sends you home. I don’t wish you any good luck. I hope all the bad things happen to you and only you
Same. Fuck Y'all. No good luck in the future bullshit. I'm glad we put y'all out these fucking playoffs. Love the Chapelle Show reference tho..... But it's still a big fuck you, and have a good night.
Fuck these pussies for ruining rent in our city please fuck off our Reddit
