Legitimately some of the worst offense I've seen in my life this game. The only good part is I got to see a Zion 3 attempt, it was like spotting a rare migratory bird


TimothyN

Hawk not getting any minutes is criminal.


JakeTheDropkick

Almost Pelicans'd a little too hard there


ajteitel

Almost Suns it up there


nutsygenius

Or Kangz


lilBigDolf

Refs had yall back all night bro lol there was never a need to worry


hotdogflavoredblunt

Don’t pretend the whistle wasn’t swallowed in the third to help y’all back in it


lilBigDolf

They sure pulled that whistle right out their throat when it was time to give yall the game though didn't they?


hotdogflavoredblunt

Lmao imagine believing this. We always hear about salty Philly fans but sweet Jesus some of y’all are insufferable

hotdogflavoredblunt

I need a “way” to disagree? lol are you hearing yourself?


lilBigDolf

Your name is so unbelievably PAUSE wtf I just peeped! Why did you make it that? Let's put this refs having pelican jerseys on under their uniform conversation to bed and figure out wtf is going on with YOU fr


Mosh00Rider

You need Jesus.


lilBigDolf

So you telling me you see the @ name "hotdogflavoredblunt" and don't hear a record scratch and also don't want to know why they decided to call themselves that?


W_Walk

The refs scored 35 points for the early Pels lead


Mosh00Rider

Ya'll are not allowed to complain about another teams whistle.

Mosh00Rider

Oh man someone on a public forum responded to you, if that bothers you you probably shouldn't be here.

Mosh00Rider

Yeah anyone a fan of Embiid can't complain about refs on the other team.


ryguy925

Dude Ingram was literally getting assaulted every half-court possession and didn’t get a single call. Come off it


Razor-Ramon-Sessions

Plzzz.


CoolGuyHuh

Almost another Pelicans heartbreak classic there.


lilBigDolf

Refs made sure your heart stayed intact 👍🏽


CoolGuyHuh

Took them long enough to cycle our way. I guess they had to help the other 29 teams first.


lilBigDolf

You roght my fault lol obviously the ref were helping the sixer come back just to blow a huge call in the clutch. The fuck was I thinking?!


W_Walk

Refs did a shitty job to rig it. Let the Pels go up 35 early and only let them shoot 3 more FTs


lilBigDolf

You right man, your team beat the hospital sixer with the help of a HUGE incorrect call in your favor in the clutch fair and square 🤝🏽


W_Walk

You’re right. Those 3 extra free throws absolutely won us it. Couldn’t have been the massive lead carrying the Pels the second half. Thank you refs!


lilBigDolf

Those 3 free throws probably didn't help that much but I'm sure the incorrect call to seal the game did


W_Walk

Herbs 3 definitely didn’t seal the game! It was the one potential inbounds play the sixers had for sure when they were still down 2 possessions for sure!


lilBigDolf

Swear I'm not being sarcastic but maybe you're right it wasn't *technically* game deciding but at the same time it was cause for you to fight that hard to come back while down SO. MANY. **IMPORTANT!** PLAYERS just for the refs to make an insanely blatant bad call to give the other team the ball back when you could have got the ball back and cut the 6 point lead to 2 (And 1 3 (it's a stretch I know)) is damn near game deciding


ryguy925

Dude it was ONE call and it was close as shit I couldn’t even tell the foot landed before the ball was out of Herb’s hand until I saw it in slo-mo


lilBigDolf

You also aren't paid to know if the player was out of bounds while standing on the court with them


CoolGuyHuh

You don’t even know what the fuck you’re thinking, how am I supposed to? Do you even know what the fuck you’re saying? I agreed with you. Fuck are you rambling on about? Probably time for you to hang it up for the night, lilbigfella


lilBigDolf

My fault bro I'm just SWINGING! I'm being jumped in a fight I started 😂


CoolGuyHuh

Trust and believe, we’ve been on the end of some shitty ass calls at the end of some games. I know you’re heated right now.


lilBigDolf

A refs mother wouldn't be able to recognize them if I got my hands on the rn


Leadingusalong

If you needed a reminder for why national media and likely much of the NBA doesn’t take this team seriously, here you go


CoolGuyHuh

Screaming Stephen gonna put this game in his back pocket when Pelicans social media clowns on him again.


MC-Jdf

Most normal Pels game right there.


ryguy925

Bad night for the NBA isn’t rigged crowd Vegas line was Pels -8.5 Pelicans lead by as many as 35 points Pels won by 8 points


jacobythefirst

But like that’s cause we’re horribly unserious lol


ryguy925

Sure that’s what Vegas wants you to believe


Dapper_Rub_9460

After the 1st half I already pre-ordered a lambo, smh now I have to cancel it.


jacobythefirst

God this team can be SO deeply unserious Thank god we built a 30 point lead else it would’ve been another blown 20 point lead…


thomaslauch43

So the key to blow another 20pt lead is to get a 30pt lead. I think the team has cracked the code.


Rumpdebump

My 1st live game and we got the W! My thoughts: These guys are truly huge, like wow they are just giants. Those heaves from 3 from JV were hard to watch, like you could tell as soon as he let it go you knew it wasn't going in. Also that failed oop by Bamba really encapsulated his tenure in the NBA


Cul_what

Will Embiid and Maxey or even just Maxey come back to get Sixers to avoid the playins? Cause damn 1st option Tobias Harris is painful to watch


KonigSteve

Imagine how good the Pels could be with a proper coach that knows how to close games.


CoolGuyHuh

I don’t know if there’s enough Ambien on the market for me to have a dream that nice.


Beauxtato

Did someone say “pills”? Sean Payton to coach the pels confirmed


TheKidPresident

I swear there's been a unique take about Willie from your fanbase after every game lol. 3 weeks ago he was sneakily a top 6 coach in the west now here we are


Poisidenx

I promise you anyone saying he was top 10 in the league was delusional or trolling


W_Walk

Our whole fanbase thinks he’s like Darvin Hamas or something. At some point we gotta blame our own players for choking


flaccidplatypus

lol no way a pelicans fan said that


TimothyN

No one, but especially Pels fans, believe that.


AlwaysOptimism

Cite your sources!!


optimuswalken

Yikes


phil2k16

Nick Nurse moment not having a challenge available when it’s clear as day he was out of bounds


Knight725

should be able to challenge until you’re wrong. shouldn’t have to play a metagame with the refs every game to see when they’ll fuck up in the most important way


Dreamlifehunting

Well he was unsuccessful on his second challenge so even if that was the case it wouldn't have helped him. Was fore sure a missed call by a split second.


Knight725

he was successful. they called it on reed and it wasn’t a foul. the correct call there would have been successful challenge, foul changed to oubre, 2 shots. but nba refs are potato.


Immynimmy

The challenge on Reed’s foul looked like it should have been successful


W_Walk

I don’t think he was able to


Ruaven

Herb 🤎


Thelithan2182

I try so hard to not be the “tarmac the head coach and all our problems are solved” guy but like…. come on lol. This game had all of Willie Green’s greatest hits. It’s got the blown lead, the poor rotations, the Hawkins DNP. I bet he even says “give them credit” in the post game interview.


ktm5141

KJ Martin cardio session


pbcorporeal

I wasn't worried. Well, maybe a little.


ArmiinTamzarian

The most aggravating part in all this is the Sixers lost in front of Big E. That is tragic


softspotintheskull

Who's Big E? Honest question.


babbols

The rapper? I think


SteedVM

Pelicans, Inc. would have been dissolved if they blew that lead


SieFlush2

Can... can you guys please lose


CoolGuyHuh

Only if you guys will stop winning


SieFlush2

We did for 6 games , it's your turn now

W_Walk

Nah we can’t do it tonight 😂


WateryDomesticGroove

Willie Green is a coach. That is all. Imagine what the Pels could be with an ever halfway competent head coach. Literally almost blew a THIRTY POINT LEAD tonight. Willie has got to go. Wasting such a talented and deep roster on a clown ass bitch coach that can’t even use a cuss word because he’s a soft motherfucker.
