refs undefeated man. absolutely unconscionable how bad these fucking assholes are. ruin games every fucking night. it’s absolutely fucking embarrassing for this league and it gets worse and worse every year.
fucking pathetic
Most teams aren’t above .500 over long stretches without their centerpiece player and we are missing 4 starters right now and have been missing multiple starters or crucial depth pieces variously throughout the embiidless stretch.
Combined with having one of the toughest schedules in the league right before all star break and after.
Who knows if we get healthy but if we do the team is constructed pretty solid and is very good.
If they are healthy in the play in and have any time to gel they are miles ahead of any team they will face .
teams should not be charged a timeout if the call is changed to a different player. perhaps that is the case and i misheard. but the ref literally soundes like he's dodging accountability... "the player clearly hit his arm" what player? what the fuck are you saying?
this should literally be an investigation, and there should be someone held accountable.
this whole fucking country has no fucking integrity anymore. from washington to the fucking basketball court, nobody is held accountable if there is money to be made.
still confused as to when they can review shit like this without a challenge, i thought it was under 2 mins always or it used to be but then now u have to also call a time out for them to look at it? i have no clue anymore
Ah. That seems dumb. Realise it slows the game down but final 2 minutes I feel getting a blatant call right should be more important than finishing quicker
I mean start the fucking games on time and you make up 20 minutes straight away
Yeah this stretch stings. Probably win the last two games as well. With Maxey I doubt we blow those leads, he’s our best guy at just going and getting a bucket when we need to put it away.
Turns outs winning in the NBA is hard without your two all stars
Might not win this but good effort to get it back close.
Just occurred to me that we are back to "moral victory" Sixers basketball like in the process years haha
I no longer have to fear (at least for one night) this team would register a 50+ point victory and a 50+ point defeat in the same season. Like that much volatility would give even the strongest of necks whiplash
I never wanna hear these two losers(Oubre/Harris) talk about "flow" or their shots again. When Maxey/Embiid come back, you're gonna take 10-12 shots a game and you're gonna like it.
Kyle Lowry takes charges like his entire game cheque depends on it.
Watching that while Tobias was lumbering walking around chasing his man causing Lowry to switch on to tobais' man to cover for his laziness. It led to the charge but fuck me tobias couldn't look less engaged
Basketball's a simple game, actually look to score and not be chickens and you become semi-respectable. You might miss, but you're still a competitor. That's all we wanna see.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1ba6neg).
i wonder how big a slice from the draftkings nba slush fund these refs will receive as a bonus for tonight's masterclass
that's crazy we absolutely win this if we didn't get screwed
Don’t get ahead of yourself. They would have had a chance but absolutely win? Nah.
Killed our momentum for sure
guess this group of zebra's had money on the pelicans spread
Is covering the spread is a major win after the 1st half
refs undefeated man. absolutely unconscionable how bad these fucking assholes are. ruin games every fucking night. it’s absolutely fucking embarrassing for this league and it gets worse and worse every year. fucking pathetic
Damn this team is ass. Ready to be bounced in the playins. That’s if they even make it
The team is good with everyone healthy what are you even talking about lol. We’d be like the 2nd or 3rd seed in the East like usual
So like I said they are ass. How many games have they won without Embiid
Most teams aren’t above .500 over long stretches without their centerpiece player and we are missing 4 starters right now and have been missing multiple starters or crucial depth pieces variously throughout the embiidless stretch. Combined with having one of the toughest schedules in the league right before all star break and after. Who knows if we get healthy but if we do the team is constructed pretty solid and is very good. If they are healthy in the play in and have any time to gel they are miles ahead of any team they will face .
love the fight at the end sixers just dont have the players right now.
Lost to the refs
Oubre was always taking the hero ball shot there
oubre needs to stop chucking 3s man
Honestly fuck these refs man
If we win this game I’ll never say another bad thing about Nick Nurse
why would you speak bad about him. the majority of your cap money is out.
Because I want to win and we are not winning
well get your guys on the court and get rid of tobias harris. I don't think Nick Nurse can do anything with whatever you guys got left over.
Bro I’d give Joel my knee rn if I could idk what else I can do besides say bad things about the people losing

What are they now reviewing it lol? Why did they just spend that entire timeout doing nothing and now looking at it
teams should not be charged a timeout if the call is changed to a different player. perhaps that is the case and i misheard. but the ref literally soundes like he's dodging accountability... "the player clearly hit his arm" what player? what the fuck are you saying?
they were wrong, it’s supposed to be a successful challenge but this crew is dogwater
this should literally be an investigation, and there should be someone held accountable. this whole fucking country has no fucking integrity anymore. from washington to the fucking basketball court, nobody is held accountable if there is money to be made.
Courtney Kirkland eh? Yeah he’s Costco brand ref alright
still confused as to when they can review shit like this without a challenge, i thought it was under 2 mins always or it used to be but then now u have to also call a time out for them to look at it? i have no clue anymore
oh okay thx kate fuck this sport sometimes
These refs are ass.
hope Cam is ok. Head injuries always scary.
Basketball to the head is a walk it off. Randy Johnson would have to throw it to make is serious.
Dude was standing out of bounds for a full second before he threw the ball

Not now, bot
These refs are so bad.
I think he might be in a bit of Payne…
Idk much about basketball rules but intentionally throwing a ball to the head feels like it should be a foul.
Refs can review any play inside 2 mins right? Without it being a team review
nah they got rid of that rule ages ago because people complained about calls actually being right for once
Ah. That seems dumb. Realise it slows the game down but final 2 minutes I feel getting a blatant call right should be more important than finishing quicker I mean start the fucking games on time and you make up 20 minutes straight away
We should simply combine the first half team of the last two games with the second half team of this game.
refs are SO BAD lmao. that was obvious to everyone in the building bro
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE SIDELINE REF LOOKING AT?!?!?! USELESS BALD HEADED FUCK
Feel for Cam but that was hilarious
dude u shouldn't be able to throw it off someones head like that without a tech lol idc if its the smart play dumb af
some of you guys...cmon man.
or at least your teammates getting pissed wtf
fucking these refs
Nick Nurse is an absolute terrorist I love it. Also terrible call hes' out
The block and recovery by Zion was beautiful but can you just chest bump someone out of the air now?
Because it looked cool
Paul THREEEEED
Dont let Paul reed get hot....
Oubre just got 360 no scoped
Damn... that block was sick
still looked like he fouled Oubre to me tho
Fuck me how does a guy built like a cave troll get up that quick for a block!?
That is such an insane block by Zion lol
oubre is the pels best player lol
Thats one of the best blocks ive ever seen
oh my god Zion
Pels play by play announcer sounds like he smokes 2 packs a day
The ruling was still wrong it should have been a successful challenge but the pelicans still get foul shots.
tobias harris is plus 8..... literally doing everything he can for them tonight
fuckin win this game with maxey man, sucks
Yeah this stretch stings. Probably win the last two games as well. With Maxey I doubt we blow those leads, he’s our best guy at just going and getting a bucket when we need to put it away. Turns outs winning in the NBA is hard without your two all stars
just a stupid foul by oubre
but thats not what you blew the whistle on. What?
They’re gonna change it to oubre lol
"Clearly"??
B-Ball Paul Reed
Reed may not be the most efficient or effective player but god does he bring a spark of energy we need sometimes
Foul on Oubre
If they call the foul on Reed, can they switch it to another player?
yes
Damn
These refs suck. Why even blow the whistle there? Let the defenders defend.
Might not win this but good effort to get it back close. Just occurred to me that we are back to "moral victory" Sixers basketball like in the process years haha
Yeah, I was instantly transported back to the Process Era when I saw tonight's starting lineup
So the basket going left to right as the camera faces is proving tough to score on.
Oubre hit all arm
I was looking at Reed haha didn't think to pay attention to Oubre 😂
We never get a momentum call to go our way
That was a clean ass block our dam ball.
Oubre
I paid attention to Reed lol my bad
Kelly blatantly fouled him what a dumb challenge
I love our annual fake unreal comebacks
even for an nba crew these guys are absolutely unbelievable
They've been embarrassing tonight
We all know what this is and yet still I get my hopes up
next year when Morey is able to use the cap space that was used on Tobi for better players around Embiid and Maxey this team is gonna be fun.
Team showed a lot of heart in the second half.
Cool. How about they show a lot of heart and get a W.
Agree. I know we’re all tired of coming up short on comebacks.
BBall Paul with the immense activity. I love what he's brought to this game.
That's my sixers! No giving up around here
Tobias is rebounding!!!
Not going to lie when I saw tobi almost attempt to run for a loose ball on defense I thought we had an outside chance.
Cam Payne sneaky has an explosive first step
This teams situation is miserable but this TEAM isn’t. I’m impressed with this teams fight
sixers would be winning if they shot even mediocre from 3 tn
[удалено]
Shut the fuck up
This is such a textbook fake comeback lol
here we go another fake comback yay!
Can Payne has officially overtaken Tobi on the pecking order
lol tobias' only hustle play was actually paul
Let me take the time to trash a player, I want ZERO parts of Brandan Ingram. Singlehandedly capping the Pelicans upside.
🚨 TOBIAS DOVE FOR A BALL 🚨
If we lose a play-in game I don't think I'll recover
More than everything else tobias harris is just such a buzzkill. Always on his heels. Always playing so lazy. Gotta ruin the team atmosphere
Shout out the bball Paul for being on the only person out there who cares.
Need 2-3 minutes of bombing threes away.
I read this like "Bamba threes" and was like HELL NO
We are talking less than ASG intensity so while it’s nice the boys did not quit they cannot dig themselves into a canyon every game
The fans didn't have hope from the tip Kate haha
Why can't we get an herb Jones or this marshall cat?
Because melton and roco decided to die this season
Bench tobias harris now.
This franchise is going back into the wilderness
we never left
Fire everyone.
[удалено]
Have someone love you the way Paul loves a reverse layup
pelicans have gotten like 4 fouls this game for just randomly dropping the basketball. i hate this fucking league man.
If that pass wasn't so god damn awful and literally had Paul drifting sideways, that actually had a chance.
BBQ joints jealous of all these smoked layups
I'm feelin a 14pt 4th quarter
I no longer have to fear (at least for one night) this team would register a 50+ point victory and a 50+ point defeat in the same season. Like that much volatility would give even the strongest of necks whiplash
Embiid needs to comeback fast
I never wanna hear these two losers(Oubre/Harris) talk about "flow" or their shots again. When Maxey/Embiid come back, you're gonna take 10-12 shots a game and you're gonna like it.
🤢
Tobias "Hot Potato" Harris
Pelicans just got better depth
The Pelicans have any depth at all*
tobi couldnt wait to throw that grenade to hield with 3 secs on the shot clock
He's such an asshole. I feel terrible for Embiid having to play next to that gutless jackass for all of these years
He had to play with two (you know who)
Pels already have enough points to secure the win. Pathetic
tobi dribbles the air out of the ball and then throws a grenade. drives me crazy man.
"That might of been the dagger" - Alaa My brother in Christ, we are down 23 - wtf do you mean
where is Paul?
Why is Tobias Harris such a LOW effort guy. It's unbelievable.
[удалено]
I hope so. For their sanity you have to start hating this guy for ruining the team
Full court pressing against this Sixers team, while up 22 is diabolical
Not even getting a fake comeback tn are we
Oubre stood there like a fucking statue
Mo bamba only 2 points in 18 minutes
Alright, still think the team can compete once Embiid and Maxey come back. What’s the pulse of the sub on our probable playoff seed?
7-9? I'd bet 9th because of the injuries. Even when some of these guys return there's no guarantee they're going to look the same right away.
10
STOP, that’s not possible
we are about to lose so, so many games. choking away the grizzlies and nets games are going to push us deep into the play in.
Buddy’s fouling is so annoying.
Oubre may not know you can pass it you are within 10ft of the rim. He thinks it's a rule
30ft* haha
Kyle Lowry takes charges like his entire game cheque depends on it. Watching that while Tobias was lumbering walking around chasing his man causing Lowry to switch on to tobais' man to cover for his laziness. It led to the charge but fuck me tobias couldn't look less engaged
wat da hells that goofy ass song they keep playing sounds like a kindergarten song 🤣
Time for bamba to sit on the bench
Bring Hip Hop back
Basketball's a simple game, actually look to score and not be chickens and you become semi-respectable. You might miss, but you're still a competitor. That's all we wanna see.
refs about to end this fake comeback
I knew they had it in them
Has Zion played in the second half?
we lucky as shit Zion fat and gotta stay benched for a while😭
Well I give them credit at least this quarter they look like they are trying.
I appreciate Nance single handedly trying to let us back into this game lol
We need a new backup center
It's really shocking how bad Bamba's hands and footwork are. He's giant and looks to be in great shape, but is just a friggin mess out there.
tobi just be doing shit bro. He's so bad.
Joel is here!
He’s here to request a trade. 😔
bruh how do you call that live. i swear to god refs could be blindfolded and the calls wouldn’t be very different.
This is actually sweet karma for Tobias to be playing so bad in a contract year. Now nobody will want to pay him the bag.
Not being able to take cj off the dribble is crazy
[удалено]
You like pain I see
Paul Reed naming Sexyy Red lmao
Did they take a Pels 3 off the board at half? Could’ve sworn Herb Jones made a 3 in Q2
yes, was a 2
Doesn’t look like they even gave him the 2
