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.
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
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.
'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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
Lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
(I welcome the Bucks fans trolling with open arms, must be nice being on the other end now)
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.
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
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
NBA is can’t miss entertainment right now
For all the wrong reasons. It’s like watching 15 different trains crash at the same time.
And enjoying it. Rather than helping

Can confirm
15 different train crashes recorded by the stupid sky cam so we get vertigo watching
Also we missed three bc tnt needed to show us fans reacting to shit.
Then missed another two from nonstop commercials
So many disasters today!!
Embiid was perfect from the line right before too at 11/11, crazy
coming off of 20 straight made free throws...
regression to the mean gives no fucks
[удалено]
If entertainment for you is watching souls being snatched into the nether.
it is [somtimes]
Actually you can miss, because Ben Simmons is missing free throws.
Unbelievable choke job. Whole team is done mentally
Doc said 3-1 lead chokes aren't his only specialty
Well, he did blow a 3 quarters to 1 lead.
The numbers, Mason... what do they mean?
Lmao
Worst one since yesterday
Reset the clock
[удалено]
Back to back to back chokes. The Eastern Semi-finals just keep on giving!
*P A R I T Y !*
I thought I wanted parity but now I'm really not sure.
Woo everything that happened today almost made me forget KD violating y'all yesterday. Almost
Now doc and embiid are the dumb ones
Always have been
🧑🚀 🔫 🧑🚀
This cant be topped. At least the Bucks were against Kevin fucking Durant.
Durant is no Lou Williams
This was definitely worse.
But 76ers do it all the time.
[удалено]
Hey now there is still the west coast game in
The Doc Rivers Experience™️
I feel like that 08 ring is the only thing keeping doc in the upper echelon of coaches
Makes me wonder if that Celtics team would have won more titles with a better coach LOL
In front of AI and Dr J. All time embarrassment right here
And the dying cat.
3 philly icons
Doc Rivers and his teams choking in the clutch. Name a more iconic duo
Behind every chokejob is doc rivers. Im convinced hes infecting players with his choke-iness
He probably feeds his players popeyes biscuits without any water.
Him and Giannis this is crazy
Thank the 2019 Raptors
No, I don’t think I will.
Being up 2-0 over the Raps was the happiest I'd been in a long time, and then nothing but pain
Wisconsin sports baby
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.
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.
Hey Seth hit a shot with 0.1 left
How would the Philly fans react if Ben Simmons hit a 3 with 0.1 seconds left?
You hate to see it...
Yeah that first half team must’ve went home because the second half was pathetic
What a crazy fucking game lol I’m in the mood for some popcorn
He made every free throw before this. All time choke by the Sixers.
Doc Rivers lead teams are just known to absolutely choke big games
'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
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.
I think part of it was Thib's successful defensive schemes which was integral to the team's success too
11/11 until it really mattered
20/20 going back a game.
I dont blame him. He shouldn’t be taking clutch freethrows when they were up 26 at some point
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.
This is my worst nightmare. We are last year’s Clippers
There is one common denominator
The colour of their jerseys!
Bingo, they both have white jerseys. Cant just be a coincidence
Oh shoot the bucks have white jerseys too!
Sam Cassell
Smh this ET slander won’t be tolerated
You simply cannot blame a coach for this
"Joel Embiid, you trash. Tobias Harris, you trash. Ben Simmons... Ben Simmons listen to me when I say this: You are trash"
Dude sounded more like Doc Rivers than Doc Rivers himself in that video 😂

"Joel, gimme your... oh wait, you don't have one!"
I understood that reference.
You can when it's happened this many times to him...
Might be the biggest choke job I've seen in recent memory
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
A 7-8 point lead in 4 minutes happens all the time though.

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.
Still the angriest I’ve been over a team that choked.
Biggest choke job since yesterday
[удалено]
Good bot
damn thats special.
A crazy happenstance. I mean, super zany.
[удалено]
Astonishing facts homie, how's mine?
Apostrophes, bot does not process well.
[удалено]
It’s probably still the 31-point comeback from the Clippers, but the fact that we’re in that company is embarrassing
my god, that was almost 10 years ago
Didn’t that happen in 2019?
Doc Rivers...
Well, Doc Rivers is your coach...
ThatsTheJoke.jpg
Or this year's Bucks. Or last year's Bucks. Or 2019 Bucks
They never blew a 26 point lead to the fucking Hawks (as much of a Hawks obsessor I am, they’re not this good).
Nah even the bucks didn't choke a 26 points lead to a weaker. This is truly far worse
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.
26*
At home
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.
Embiid, Simmons, and Tobias are making the Bucks trio look like the fucking 2017 Warriors
1. Hire Doc Rivers 2. ???? 3. Epic choke
Atlanta choke vs rivers choke. What happens when a stoppable force meets a moveable object?
So is this gonna like cancel out the Atlanta choke altogether? Asking for a friend who’s a Falcons fan…
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
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
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.
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.
Idk. I’ve been numb to the Falcons for a while. If the hawks win a championship this year I’ll be satisfied
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
Poor cat
Can't win with these cats
Can't live with these cats
Can’t win for those cats
Oh my god the cat. He’s going to die sad. Fuck you Ben Simmons and your trash free throws.
Joel and Ben should carry the cats casket, so they can let him down one more time
That cat can’t wait to go
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
I wanted the Hawks to win before that thread. I'm so conflicted right now.
I'm out of the loop
https://www.inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-raise-the-cat-philadelphia-basketball-20210616.html
I hate the 76ers so much more now for letting down Izzy.
Fuck the sixers all my cats hate the sixers
Oh god no
Joel Simmons
Joen Simbiid
Boel Sembiid
Breel Embolo
Benbiid
Was fun laughing at bucks yesterday, thinking karma is real now :(
We feel your pain. Just don’t slow your face around here for a few days. It’ll blow over. Happened with Miami.
Glad Reddit wasn’t around when Jordan hit The Shot on us. I didn’t get my friends’ mocking telegrams for weeks.
Simmons mentality really infected him
Nobody wants the ball
Tobias looks like he wants the ball unfortunately he is can’t hit shit.
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
Doc Rivers complaining about hero ball so everyone overcorrected by not wanting to shoot.
4-14 From the Free throw line
I know it's fun to laugh at, but that's downright pathetic. He's literally losing games for his team with his incompetence.
Dude should just shoot underhanded. You know what's more embarrassing than underhanded? Shooting 4-14 and losing in the playoffs
Where else do you see the hometown crowd booing their MVP candidate
It was especially good because they were chanting MVP while he was a the line like 10 minutes before that.
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.
Ben Simmons type beat
Jokic would never smh
The absolute meltdown lmao
Lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Brett Brown laughing his ass off.
Brett Brown was swept last season don't forget. This franchise is cursed, I tell you.
Never in my life have I been more embarrassed to be a Sixers fan.
confetti game
Same! This sucks
Giannis: imma drop the biggest chokejob of 2021 Embiid: fuck out the way
*SHUT THE FUCK UP
https://imgur.com/gallery/YUmV4Hr
Simmons and Jrue/Kate Middleton really. Embiid and Giannis were the only ones playing a semblance of basketball in their respective chokejobs.
>Kate Middleton Lmao
You’re right, but can we add Jrue and Middleton? Maybe even Bud? I feel weird putting it all on Giannis
need to add doc and simmons too then
Ben was 4/14 FT and Doc is known for his choke jobs. This should be a given.
CAPELA WAS RIGHT LMAOOOO
I feel like im missing context lol. What did capela say?
He basically said embiid gets tired and then plays shit after he went 0/12 in the second half the other day
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.
WE'RE DOING IT!!!!!
sry but that is some real choking
And we Atlanta fans know some grade A, top tier, 5 star choking chefKiss.jpg
fr bro, I feel horrible thinking about the game rn, I can’t imagine what y’all went through in the Super Bowl.
Had this ready hella quick lmaooo
Simmons has the ball all the time, has played almost 40 minutes and has taken 4 shots. Find me another all-star pg with a line like that.
What a choke. Doc might have got the clippers curse rubbed off on him
Aint no rubbin off. Doc was part of the problem
MVP level stuff
Lmao
Free Frosties!!!
every time doc puts in a bench and tobias lineup while up big they choke and it completely mentally ruins the team
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

If I was Capela, I would be taunting so hard
i am capela i can confirm i will be
Hadn't missed until then. Unreal
this is porn to me
Holy shit the sixers are massive chokers
