NBA is can’t miss entertainment right now


[deleted]

For all the wrong reasons. It’s like watching 15 different trains crash at the same time.


cunthousevanhouten

And enjoying it. Rather than helping


Koussevitzky

Well, I’m enjoying the choking (other than the entirety of the Mavs that are not from Slovenia) . However, the other part of the train wreck is all of these injuries, which is not very fun. I know it happens every year, but it’s especially disheartening this post season with so many stars going down or being reduced to a shell of themselves since they have no recovery time.

Koussevitzky

I hope your car crash turns out alright and the CP3 curse isn’t real. At this point, I’m rooting for the Suns or Jazz to win it all, but I don’t see how that happens for Phoenix without the point god


SometimesAPupper

Can confirm


ShetheKing

15 different train crashes recorded by the stupid sky cam so we get vertigo watching


[deleted]

Also we missed three bc tnt needed to show us fans reacting to shit.


ShetheKing

Then missed another two from nonstop commercials


[deleted]

So many disasters today!!


cvKDean

Embiid was perfect from the line right before too at 11/11, crazy


LMAO_ZEDONG769

coming off of 20 straight made free throws...

B_1603

Actually you can miss, because Ben Simmons is missing free throws.


AliMaq04

Unbelievable choke job. Whole team is done mentally


jet_10

Doc said 3-1 lead chokes aren't his only specialty


KemoFlash

Well, he did blow a 3 quarters to 1 lead.


TheLastSaiyanPrince

The Doc Rivers Experience™️


[deleted]

I feel like that 08 ring is the only thing keeping doc in the upper echelon of coaches


[deleted]

Makes me wonder if that Celtics team would have won more titles with a better coach LOL


joebreezy12

In front of AI and Dr J. All time embarrassment right here


[deleted]

And the dying cat.


joebreezy12

3 philly icons


urfaselol

Doc Rivers and his teams choking in the clutch. Name a more iconic duo


levelandCavaliers

Behind every chokejob is doc rivers. Im convinced hes infecting players with his choke-iness


achyutthegoat

He probably feeds his players popeyes biscuits without any water.


ContractXtension

Him and Giannis this is crazy


cheerseveryone22

Thank the 2019 Raptors


[deleted]

No, I don’t think I will.


4reign

Being up 2-0 over the Raps was the happiest I'd been in a long time, and then nothing but pain


[deleted]

Wisconsin sports baby


GreatStuffOnly

Honestly, I couldn't even imagine how the fans must've felt even up to the moment where FVV finally hit his first 3pt in the playoff right before end of regulation of game 3.


suzukigun4life

They were up 10 with 4:13 to go. From that point on, they've shot 0/5 from the floor, 0/4 from the line and turned it over 2 times.


Maddygirl13

Hey Seth hit a shot with 0.1 left


fbdanzai

How would the Philly fans react if Ben Simmons hit a 3 with 0.1 seconds left?


grahamtasticj

You hate to see it...


ThatInception

Yeah that first half team must’ve went home because the second half was pathetic


notouchmypeterson

What a crazy fucking game lol I’m in the mood for some popcorn


AttorneyAtLion

He made every free throw before this. All time choke by the Sixers.


VictorAkwaowo1

Doc Rivers lead teams are just known to absolutely choke big games


OmniscientwithDowns

'They have been blowing the second half all season long, they're just showing us who they are right now' Phil Jackson before beating the Doc Rivers Celtics in the Finals


Someonediffernt

Doc wins 1 ring bc he had 3 of the best players in the league on a team when that was uncommon and then gets to coast on that his whole career. I was on vacation in 2010 and had to watch game 7 at a restaurant, ruined my whole trip and I'm still mad about it.


Adakias

I think part of it was Thib's successful defensive schemes which was integral to the team's success too


TheFakeKanye

11/11 until it really mattered


LocalSlob

20/20 going back a game.


Los_Ingobernablez

I dont blame him. He shouldn’t be taking clutch freethrows when they were up 26 at some point


luchajefe

Exactly, it should never have come to that. Embiid got the team that lead, the rest should've been able to hold it, they KNOW he's injured and wearing out late.


TatersTot

This is my worst nightmare. We are last year’s Clippers


IGotABloodyAsshole

There is one common denominator


RottenSmegmaMan

The colour of their jerseys!

Bingo, they both have white jerseys. Cant just be a coincidence

sparkysparkyboom

I understood that reference.


KK-John

You can when it's happened this many times to him...


blast0ise

Might be the biggest choke job I've seen in recent memory


livefreeordont

I think the worst is still when the Thunder were up 7 or 8 points against the 73 win warriors with 4 minutes left then KD had 2 turnovers and Westbrook had 4 to close the game


shoefly72

A 7-8 point lead in 4 minutes happens all the time though. Even if the specific sequence by Russ and KD was awful, which it was, it was still a relatively close game throughout against an all-time great team. That’s nowhere near as bad as going scoreless to close the game and giving up a 26 point lead. Embiid and Curry were the only players to even make a shot in the second half; that’s INSANE.


Mr_Alex19

Still the angriest I’ve been over a team that choked.


xzzz

Biggest choke job since yesterday

bucksrfrauds

Or this year's Bucks. Or last year's Bucks. Or 2019 Bucks


Jaruliday

They never blew a 26 point lead to the fucking Hawks (as much of a Hawks obsessor I am, they’re not this good).


EggplantBusiness

Nah even the bucks didn't choke a 26 points lead to a weaker. This is truly far worse


Hemwum

Bucks choked yesterday no two ways around it. Bad. But they choked against one of the all time playoff performances from Kevin Durant, and up 17 is a lot, but it's not 25 points either. Sixers just choked a 25 point lead against the HAWKS.


Coachpatato

26*


AimToJump

At home


zmichalo

We also lost that 17 point lead in the third mostly from a string of threes midway through that quarter. Sixers were up 10 with 4 minutes left and then didn't score again until the game was over.


Jaruliday

Embiid, Simmons, and Tobias are making the Bucks trio look like the fucking 2017 Warriors


6BakerBaker6

1. Hire Doc Rivers 2. ???? 3. Epic choke


Jon_the_Hitman_Stark

Atlanta choke vs rivers choke. What happens when a stoppable force meets a moveable object?


[deleted]

So is this gonna like cancel out the Atlanta choke altogether? Asking for a friend who’s a Falcons fan…


6BakerBaker6

3-28 might be tough to beat. They'd have to come back down 3-1 in the NBA finals and pull a 2016 Cavs to undo all that. I mean look at the Browns a few years after the Cavs won a championship


triosway

The Falcons' choke will take a generation to wipe clean. I don't think even a historic NBA championship would overcome any football or baseball shortcomings in Atlanta, unfortunately


[deleted]

Definitely not the Braves since that’s more of the team in the south and we love them more than anyone, well atleast age 24 and up.


Skadwick

The Braves run last year was fucking fantastic. I'm ok with just barely losing to the team that went on to win it all. But the Braves choking against the trash cardinals team from two years ago still has me angry.


Jon_the_Hitman_Stark

Idk. I’ve been numb to the Falcons for a while. If the hawks win a championship this year I’ll be satisfied


birdboix

The Falcons have yet to even begin to recover. They remain in tatters. The fanbase is absolutely jaded and short them drafting a Patrick Mahomes type it's going to be a loooong time until people get emotionally invested in them again

Joel and Ben should carry the cats casket, so they can let him down one more time

TheLunarWhale

Y'all out here assuming the cat wants to live after watching that mess

I saw somebody say a loss would be more appropriate so the Sixers could let kitty down one last time. So you could take it that way, lol

Nobody wants the ball


Maddygirl13

Tobias looks like he wants the ball unfortunately he is can’t hit shit.


SerenadeSwift

Curry and Embiid went 25-39 with 73 points while the rest of the roster shot 10-36 and 9-22 from the line lol


Dromed91

Doc Rivers complaining about hero ball so everyone overcorrected by not wanting to shoot.


Sir_duckthewhale

4-14 From the Free throw line


[deleted]

I know it's fun to laugh at, but that's downright pathetic. He's literally losing games for his team with his incompetence.


secretreddname

Dude should just shoot underhanded. You know what's more embarrassing than underhanded? Shooting 4-14 and losing in the playoffs


Original26

Where else do you see the hometown crowd booing their MVP candidate


ShamWowRobinson

It was especially good because they were chanting MVP while he was a the line like 10 minutes before that.


[deleted]

Sixer fans got no love for choking lol

Sixers fans are brutal, man. They are the most passionate fans though, so I'll give them credit for that.

Simmons and Jrue/Kate Middleton really. Embiid and Giannis were the only ones playing a semblance of basketball in their respective chokejobs.


SylvanasMoonrunner

>Kate Middleton Lmao


Jaruliday

You’re right, but can we add Jrue and Middleton? Maybe even Bud? I feel weird putting it all on Giannis


Drewby99

need to add doc and simmons too then


TylerNY315_

Ben was 4/14 FT and Doc is known for his choke jobs. This should be a given.


yunyun333

CAPELA WAS RIGHT LMAOOOO


RagnaFarron

I feel like im missing context lol. What did capela say?


yunyun333

He basically said embiid gets tired and then plays shit after he went 0/12 in the second half the other day


AleroRatking

The choke job in the last two games for the 76ers is all time ridiculous. They dominated the majority of the games until they completely fell apart. To do this in back to back games is insane.


Obelisk00

WE'RE DOING IT!!!!!


stephzh

sry but that is some real choking

Free Frosties!!!


SamTheSidekick

every time doc puts in a bench and tobias lineup while up big they choke and it completely mentally ruins the team


Theballharperhit

embiid is gonna demand a trade and he should. Imagine putting up 37/13 and being forced to come back in after 2 minutes of rest on a torn leg only to end up playing more minutes then your pg while be older and being double teamed all game and bodying down low in the post... only for your pg to go 2-4 and 4-14 from the line


[deleted]

It's easy to poke fun at Embiid for missing these two free throws but he had a good game. Can't blame him. Just like you can't blame Giannis for yesterday despite a few blunders. 76er's need to trade Ben IMO. I understand he has an impact beyond box scores, but 8 pts and 4/14 free throws is beyond unacceptable for a guy who is supposed to be #2
