Sixers win series 4-0

[Im Still Ballin]

76ers in 5.

[Manny98]

I'd be surprised if we don't get swept, we're too small of a team to contain Embiid

Not really fussed but would be ecstatic if we could steal a game or 2

If the sixers win here and lose in the second round, it will be the same story for embiid all over again. :lol

[bison]

I have fourkicks44/GOBB coming away with the sweep though manny98 might sneak in a win here or there.

[Jasper]

Gobb would like a sweep / but Nets get under their skin

6'ers in 6

[fourkicks44]

:oldlol:

There would be nothing more unsurprising or on brand for the Sixers if they come out slow and sluggish and got blown out at home in this first game.

That being said they really should try to make a statement and end this in 4, get some rest and hope for the unlikely situation of Tre f'ckin Boston around and stealing a game or two.

Nets won't lie down easy tho, that is for sure. Bridges and Claxton won't need any extra motivation for this one.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Whoever chose to play that song at ESPN needs to be punished.

[Manny98]

Good D but can't secure a rebound for shit

[Proctor]

The world is about to see how good Bridges is.

Meanwhile Playoff Harden is trash :lol

[Manny98]

Refs ain't calling Hardens bullshit

This ain't the regular season no more buddy :oldlol:

Done a good job on Embiid so far :applause:

[fourkicks44]

Looks like playoff PJ has finally showed up to earn that pay check.

[Manny98]

Tucker is such a difference maker

[fourkicks44]

Yeah feels like the Sixers have had more offensive rebounds this quarter than the rest of the season combined.

By far the biggest weakness of the team, rebounding in general has been their achilles heel.

[fourkicks44]

Doc going super deep into his bench in that 1st quarter.

Interesting. Dunno if that will last, still feeling things out it seems.

[Street Hunger]

Pretty even game so far.

[Street Hunger]

Lots of crafty veterans on this Nets team.

[Manny98]

Basketball is so much enjoyable to watch when they're not calling fouls for the tinniest but of contact every possession

I hope the officiating stays like this for the rest of the series but we know the refs will start to interfere if the Nets start winning:lol

[Manny98]

Bridges :bowdown::bowdown:

[Manny98]

We played damm near perfect and we're still down 9 at the half :cry:

Harden decided to turn into prime Steph Curry tonight

[dazzer87]

Suns lost out on that trade….Bridges > KD…..

[fourkicks44]

Interestingly the draft pick Philadelphia got for Bridges on draft day was used to aquire Tobias.

[Indian guy]

Bridges reminds me a lot of young T-Mac. He's got that lankiness and varied offensive game. Looks very similar when in motion too with those long strides.

[Street Hunger]

Game 1, Sixers up 67-58 at the half.

Mikal Bridges 23 points.

James Harden 17 points, 6 assists.

Sixers 13 of 21 threes.

[Street Hunger]

The Nets are giving up so many threes. I guess they have a choice of letting that continue or switching and guarding Joel Embiid more

[fourkicks44]

Yeah they try to double and triple him everytime he gets the ball, thats why so many 3s.

The nets only other option is to have Claxton gaurd him one on one or go to a solid zone.

I don't know if Zone is really Jacque Vaughn's thing

[Manny98]

Can't win giving up so many offensive rebounds..

[red1]

Good to see Springer get minutes in the first game.

I didn't expect that.

[Street Hunger]

The Nets competed but it never really felt like the sixers were going to lose game one. Especially with the sixers heading almost half their threes

[Street Hunger]

Unsure how to see the Nets can win the series

Like, the sixers just blatantly better

[AlternativeAcc.]

Nets are atrocious. Sixers in 4. People underestimate how loaded the sixers are.

Can't believe Embiid is gonna steal an MVP from Jokic due to false narratives.

Many people forget about Tobias Harris.

[Im Still Ballin]

Many people forget about Tobias Harris.

Imagine having him as your fourth option. I don't want to hear any excuses regarding supporting cast. Philadelphia has more than enough to win.

[fourkicks44]

Imagine having him as your fourth option. I don't want to hear any excuses regarding supporting cast. Philadelphia has more than enough to win.

Their defense and rebounding are their critical weaknesses and what are holding them back from being contenders.

What they have shown this season is that these areas of their game are not good enough to beat Boston and been a concern against Milwaukee.

While Tobi has taken on the challenge and improved his D since Ben's departure, the fact they rely on him so much in one on one matchups and his questionable offball decisions at times are both issues.

He will struggle against Brown and Tatum, which makes it even tougher when Harden and Maxey are essentially negatives on defense.

[hateraid]

Wait till he ****s up. Stay your role

[hateraid]

If we're gonna win we got to stay in this offense. Tobi and Harden need to stay away from creating their own offense. Yesterday was beautiful to watch. Open 3s
Defense. Angry Embiid. That's my Sixers

[tpols]

Bridges outplayed embiid and harden, and nets still lost by 20. He can't make up for this gauntlet of all stars he's facing by himself.

[Manny98]

O'Neal can defend Harden better than virtually anyone in the league :applause:

This game looks winnable so far..

[Mask the Embiid]

Can we start the series with the Celtics already….

[Manny98]

Cam going off!

Everyone loves to talk about Bridges but Cam is a baller too :applause:

Playoff Harden has arrived :lol

Saturday was a fluke

Somebody tell them the playoffs have started.

Nets offense is so stagnant. Why aren’t the sixers blowing them out by 20 right now ?

Game was there to be taken for Brooklyn. They just couldn't throw it in the ocean tonight. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if this series is 2-2 after 4 games. Philadelphia doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence. Embiid's been doubled/tripled on the catch so I'm not gonna harp on his numbers, but Harden's clearly a far cry from who he once was. The athleticism just isn't there anymore. If his 3 ball isn't falling he just can't score.

Dinshittie is the worst starting point guard in NBA he makes Westbrook look like Einstein with his shot selection and IQ :mad:


He looked good with Luka though, but yeah, he's not really a starting point guard, he is a scorer off the bench who can go off in games.

Also quite funny to see both him and Finney-Smith in the playoffs without Luka.

[fourkicks44]

Nets before KD got hurt were the 2 seed and had won 12 straight.

If you think they're better after the trades you should probably find a new hobby to discuss.

Tell me how fruitful the Durant era has been to the Nets franchise, genius.

Tell me how successful it has been? We will look back in the history books and celebrate the time they won 12 games in December before their injury riddled, metally unstable aging stars quit on the team and got their coach fired. Yeah awesome.

Future looks a little brighter now. Team is still getting beaten in the first round just like a year ago except they have younger pieces and draft picks to solidify a positive future going forward. And it's not a complete shitshow all round and they look much hungrier.

The closest the Nets have gotten to beating the Sixers this year was straight after Durant got traded and this current roster only just lost because Dinwiddie's shot to send it to OT was waived off.



https://youtu.be/mOKAEr0QBRg

And they look a lot better without flat earther sitting out all the time and with Simmons now in Exile. Just because they had "superstars" doesn't mean shit by itself.

The Durant Nets era was ass. The biggest achievements were a 12 game win streak in December and KD's big, brittle foot steping over the 3 point line in the playoffs once.

Are people still going to act like the Durant era Nets are a great team? They had years to put it all together and we saw nothing.

Yeah one playoff series win in how many years? Epic failure no doubt.

[Charlie Sheen]

Last year's playoffs closed the door on durant's nets being contenders for me.

The Nets had already failed several times at trying to build a roster that could win with KD. That is not a shot at KD. He took on more than a superstar's share of the load in Brooklyn. The Nets failed him. KD takes some of the responsibility for handpicking kyrie i guess

They tried to build a championship club through the lebron heat method and it didn't work. They amassed a cache of pick though. This is a shift to the oklahoma city strategy. That team looks like it will have one of the brightest futures out west. It is loaded because like 9 or 10 players can ball without being some kind of liability to be taken advantage of. Nets have 10 rd1 picks i think i read over next 5 years. More chances > 1 chance, unless you know it is a shaq or a lebron.

tl;dr I am with fourkicks... the nets had way too small of a chance...if any... to win a title with durant that it made more sense to raise the floor of the team by acquiring more average/above average players, distributing talent more evenly on the roster while receiving a boatload of draftpicks for your trouble

edit: 9 or 10 players was too high a number :lol okc got a lot of people who can play though.

The other thing is they now have picks to attach to Simmons massive contract in a trade if there is a disgruntled star wanting out, a team ready for a rebuild or a GM that is just downright stupid enough to trade for Ben Simmons.

The Sixers have just gotta end this in 4.

Can't let this drag on.

Never seen a 300+ pound man go to the ground so easily like Embiid

Claxson aint no punk ill give him that.

[Manny98]

Harris got to ****ing hit those :facepalm

[Street Hunger]

Nets have potential, but they only show it for partial stretches of the games.

[highwhey]

:roll:

[SATAN]

Wtf lol

[highwhey]

lemme get this right, joel ragdolls someone into the stands - no foul call

harden slightly hit someone's ******* and gets ejected?


:roll::roll::roll:

[SATAN]

This is all because of Sabonis. :facepalm

[Smook A.]

Ejected?? What the ****?? Terrible ****ing call

[Manny98]

Refs are so inconsistent it's a joke :facepalm

[Real Men Wear Green]

If he meant to hit him in the balls he deserves a lifetime ban. I'm not sure he meant to hit him "there" but the way he flops and tries to fool the refs for calls all game long he's not a sympathetic figure.

Karma will eventually find him.

Embiid can flop but he can't hide.

No big wiggle alert?

Acting like Harden murdered him

No but a man should know better than to hit another man in the jewels. You are a fan of Harden I get that but there are certain things a player should not be doing. I'm not sure he meant to strike him in the balls but if he did that's just not cool.

[SouBeachTalents]

It's crazy to me how terrible teams have been inbounding the ball at the end of games these playoffs. The Pelicans season ended after a terrible one, I believe the Lakers had 2 inbounds passes that were stolen late in the 4th in the play-in, then this absolute dogshit pass we just witnessed.

[tontoz]

Props to Maxey for stepping up big in the 4th.

[B.L.M.Activist]

2 things being reinforced this series:

1. Embiid is an atrocious playoff performer

2. Nets are an atrocious team and franchise

Of course it wasn’t cool. But saying he should get a lifetime ban for that is very excessive

[L.Kizzle]

Cam Thomas has scored 40 points four times this season (all since KD and Kyrie departed) yet he's played a total of 15 minutes.

Maybe he plays 30 plus minutes in game 4. Might as well.

[Real Men Wear Green]

It's just some hyperbole. Everything isn't serious

[fsvr54]

Imagine hating on Embiid. He's an amazing player

He's a flopping trash talking little shit **** him and anybody who supports his antics

[Manny98]

Dinshittie cost us the game once again DFS was wide open in the corner yet Dinwiddie decides he wants to be the hero and ends up getting packed :facepalm

He better not be our starting point guard next season that's all I ask

Royce despite not being able to hit a wide open 3 to save his life was really good defensively so I give him a slight pass

Harris on the other hand is useless when he's not hitting 3s, I don't understand he's one of the best shooters in the league in the regular season but in the playoffs he forgets how to shoot

[fsvr54]

You do what it takes to win, hate the game not the player

Nah there's such a thing called winning with integrity. Imagine you went and played a pick up game and fell down on every possession and called a foul. You'd be kicked off the court. That's how embiid plays pro ball. He's a worse flopper than harden and that's saying something.

Pickup ball is pure basketball

You can play with integrity whether you make money or not. If you're the biggest strongest guy on the court you shouldn't be hitting the deck over 20 times a game. He's manipulating the game in a negative way with his flopping.

[fsvr54]

He doesn't even flop that much? Not compared to other players like Ginobili. Or maybe I'm blind?

Imagine if you went and played pick up ball and your opponents doubled and tripled team you every time you had the ball and also regularly on possessions before you have even caught the ball :lol

[tontoz]

I heard somewhere that Embiid hit the ground 18 times. :oldlol: Setting aside the flopping issue, hitting the ground that many times is a problem for a guy over 7 feet 270 pounds. When he hits the ground that is a serious impact.

I've heard before that the Sixers medical staff have told him to try to fall on his ass as much as possible to avoid trying to land on his feet due to his past injuries. The theory is it will limit the punishment on his feet, knees and legs.

It was discussed once during a game by the local NBC Sports Philadelphia annoucers. It makes sense I guess.

Wow, never heard of anyone falling on purpose to protect their feet. I guess missing his first two seasons does give him some fear of another foot injury, but falling all the time also can cause other injuries. Tough choice i guess.

Well it means more Bball Paul, he has killed the Nets this series.

I wonder if Vaughn will double team him every possession too.

He probably should.

His orb% for the series is 31.8.

whats up with all the injuries to superstars these playoffs man. that shit is killing the game

[hold this L]

This is the problem with Embiid, an injury prone big who constantly falls on the ground to get fouls and thus.. increases his chance to get injured more. I would surprised if he ever wins a ring.

[Street Hunger]

Game 4

Joel Embiid is out.

Ben Simmons still out of course.

End of 1Q: Nets 29, Sixers 22

The Sixers got back into the game as the first went on, but a Spencer Dinwiddie 3 – his third of the quarter – gives the Nets a 7-point lead at the break.

Dinwiddie (11 pts) leads all scorers.

Sixers 9-for-24 from the field and 0-for-4 from 3.

[fourkicks44]

I know with Embiid out and Doc's undying love for him Motrez Harrell was always going to get minutes this game, but why can't he stay in shape.

He looks like shit. Overweight and unconditioned.

[Street Hunger]

Sixers playing a zone, and right now (early 2Q of Game 4) it's working.

Nets up 3

[Street Hunger]

Mid second quarter of Game 4, Sixers 0/5 threes

[Manny98]

Stop shooting O'Neal please!

[Manny98]

Harris is literally useless in the playoffs :facepalm

Rather have Cam Thomas or Watanabe out there

Cam Johnson and Clax playing terrific

[Mask the Embiid]

I’m just happy manny got to at least enjoy one game of this postseason. Welp, fun time is over. Get the brooms!

https://i.postimg.cc/CMRzG9w8/IMG-9222.gif

[fourkicks44]

Cam Johnson is on the floor this game as much as Joel was last game.

[fourkicks44]

Maxey can just never get a foul call. Dunno when he is gonna get some respect. His tiny body doesn't help him tho.

Sixers have been called for double the amount of fouls that Brooklyn has.

[fourkicks44]

On cue he gets a call :oldlol:

[Street Hunger]

Why is Mikal Bridges not doing anything today

[L.Kizzle]

Still no Cam Thomas. Are they waiting for game 5 when they're down 4-0.

[Street Hunger]

Final quarter of the Nets year?

[tontoz]

Playoff Harden :facepalm

[Street Hunger]

Paul Reed with some pretty great role player stuff

[fourkicks44]

Paul Reed with some pretty great role player stuff

Yeah, he has come along way. After this playoff series it can be said his offensive rebounding has become elite now. He has had to work hard for his opptunity as Joel's back up but it is pretty clear now he has the tools, switchabilty and energy to fulfil that role in todays League.

It was a good win, important to get the sweep to rest up and prepare for the monumental task ahead. The big fella needs to get his knee right.

Beating Boston is gonna be almost impossible. Hopefully the Hawks can scrap and drag that series out but I feel like they ain't gonna win another game. Sending the series back to Boston for game 5 is still small gift.

Philly Nuggets will be an interesting nba finals..
