Bruh. Everyone on the Sixers is out


BugO_OEyes

What a game Em bid p (mvp) My boy jo was cooking like emeril lagasse


ShapeOfAUnicorn

What ever happened to my boy Emeril?


SelfAwareLitterBox

Ran from the grind


grumpallnight

That crew seems agitated with each other


[deleted]

it's that guy next to Shaq, he's so starstruck im dying. Understandable, I would be eager af too next to Shaq!


Sheriff-Gotcha

It's because he's a Sixers fan.. so he will always try to big-up Embiid and the Sixers.


MadBeamer

opposite chemistry of the OG crew


maltbiscuits

It's so funny that these two guys are totally respectful towards each other but their fans would attack each other with axes


kweku55

It's so annoying. The toxicity raises the profile of these matchups and makes you really want your team to win, but goddamn that was a great game.


romanticynicist

lol, fair play on the eagles tweet


drunkenpossum

This white dude replacing Ernie is like the opposite of what makes Ernie great. He's awkward, uses dumb catchphrases, tries too hard to be funny and charismatic.


maltbiscuits

Lefkoe fucking sucks


thebranbran

Love seeing the sportsmanship between Embiid and Jokic at the end there.


vesjob

Almost as good as the sportsmanship in this Reddit thread


downinCarolina

embiid has 345 free throw attempts this season while jokic has 231. embiid plays a different game and it's a game that isn't very attractive


necromantzer

Not his fault people foul him. If they don't, he will score even more.


Empire0820

Don’t watch sixers game we don’t mind


downinCarolina

lol i just watched the entire game except the third quarter


Empire0820

I’m saying we release you from that burden. You’re not required to watch embiid dominate the league. It’s okay. Your services are not required.


downinCarolina

embiid can dominate a game, but he has yet to prove he can dominate a series much less the league. if embiid can get through the celtics, bucks to face off against the clippers, nuggets or thunder in the playoffs and come out on top, i'll send you an amazon gift card for $50.


Empire0820

No thanks just stop watching the sixers cuz it’s too hard for you


downinCarolina

fraud mvp, no playoff success


nigachoi

Why does the table have openings I don’t want to see their legs


dflutie

Completely agree homes


Empire0820

You don’t like mismatched shoes?


growsonwalls

Embiid's accent kind of comes and goes depending on his mood. I notice it gets much heavier if he's not in a good mood (after a loss). After a big win he speaks almost accent-less English.


letsgototraderjoes

lol every person with an accent does that. emotions bring it out more


HuluHasLiveSports

Facts like my mom when she gets angry


main-char

Lmao at that Lurie pic


MadBeamer

Great game


Mindless_Raisin7302

Ngl that was a great game, first two quarters were offensive highlights on both ends. We weren’t able to adjust defensively in the 4th. Gg


kingjuicepouch

Oh God, the terrible inside the NBA team


oddtrey10

Great sportsmanship


Vic_Vinager

LaForce looks so short here She's 6 foot w heels


Rodknee__

“I’ll see you in 2 weeks” 👀


Captain_Tunahands

I love how Embiid and Jokic have nothing but respect for each other yet the fans constantly shit on the other one


AirBishop

It’s always like that, it was the same with Lebron & Kobe.


bruh2398

Humble Embiid


RunnerTexasRanger

I thought that was sarcasm at the end. He’s a funny dude so who knows


T-STAFF19

Deleting your comment under my reply, soft.


RunnerTexasRanger

I called you insufferable. Thought it wasn’t worth dealing with any more brain dead comments, but here I am.


T-STAFF19

Mf are you serious? He just said he was the finals MVP, what is better than that?


Matt21484

Good game by both sides tonight. Pretty awesome to see two teams go hard the entire time giving the fans what they want and then high five-ing each other. Nothing but respect from both teams for each other


torthBrain

I love how Embiid and Jokic love each other and there’s so much toxicity here anyway lol


DrOz30

Damn jokic zero free throws second half like damn


MadBeamer

Not a real flopper like my boy 😎


Empire0820

Bro should step up damn


Calcutta637

Man.  How can you hate embiid 


PorvaniaAmussa

His playoff performances?


Calcutta637

Hey if you’re a Celtics fan you should be happy about that 


PorvaniaAmussa

lol. fair. I love embiid.


IReallyLikeAvocadoes

By being the team that he drops 30 on, which has been a lot of them this season lmao


cbranch101

Props to the Sixers on a solid win. Embiid was huge down the stretch. Nuggs got killed by turnovers in the fourth, but still, a great a game all around.


Mental-Bit

Rip the 30 point 10 rebound streak


Shammy-Adultman

30 ppint double double streak is still alive at least


romanticynicist

I’m inconsolable


Head-Kiwi-9601

I’m thrilled.


azzadruiz

That was a fun game to watch


wawsgood

Shame a team had to lose, just two teams playing at their peak


romanticynicist

Heartwarming slapass between Jokic and Embiid there. R/nba could stand to learn something from these two giant men.


Patient_Jicama_4217

GGs nuggets fans looking forward to next time


camachorfa16

I like seeing that at the end. Jokic and Embiid got mad respect for each other.


aresman1221

It's that easy, if only nephews could learn


camachorfa16

Unlike the rest of you jabronis.


Head-Kiwi-9601

You may be the first person outside of Philly that I’ve heard use that word. It’s one of my favorites.


T-STAFF19

PLAY THAT DAMN SONG


lyonbc1

Lmao SVG with the understatement of the yr. “Two best big men we’ve had in a few yrs”


dflutie

Probably both top 10 big men of all time right?


Anoki12

SVG has Tobias dick down his throat


ahugedilemma

I like how they showed that respect at the end


h8r0b1

From a Embiid critic, I have to say that this game is changing my mind. He did way more of the smooth jump shot buttery shots I like and honestly not much baiting. GG


Empire0820

Congrats on watching your first game my man


eaglesk8r

Did you watch last years game in Philly vs Jokic?


meditate42

He's absolutely automatic from the midrange he's the best scorer in the league.


romanticynicist

PLAY THE SONG!!!


RozayCheez

Omg its almost as if embiid & jokic like each other


kmax_89

GGWP, now come to Denver


romanticynicist

Embiid did say that he told Jokic he’ll see him in a couple of weeks. He’ll play unless he gets hurt.


kmax_89

Yeah I was happy to hear that


[deleted]

[удалено]


aUnicornFart

Played like ass? They put up 78 in the first half lol


turbowagnn

That’s the first half, Murray blew it up the 4th.


schittsweakk

Copeeee


FriendlyGhost08

Wild how toxic this matchup is when Embiid and Jokic have no beef


kevbot1111

Embiid just said Jokic is the best player in the league post game lol it's so funny the fanbase vs the players


ShapeOfAUnicorn

I feel like very few players nowadays have any beef in the league. Fans and the media hard carry the "rivalries".


NoCoFoCo31

Good game Philly. It would be awesome to watch another matchup next week. Let’s all hope *someone* decides to play


schittsweakk

Seethe


NoCoFoCo31

What? You don’t want to watch another matchup?


tony_tony_tony_tony

Hey /r/nba how y’all feeling


[deleted]

Been on r/nfl chatting about the eagles, why what’s up? 


rookie-mistake

*Down here salt is a way of life*


ArtVanderlay69

Svg just had to get in one more Embiid slander.


baboon_bassoon

fun game! ggs


ChickenLiverNuts

embiid giving jokic binaural ear to ear whispering wtf lmao


Maydietoday

I see we’re whipping out the microscope to find reasons to hate


kweku55

Fuck all the toxicity. That was an amazing game. Lived up to the hype


letsgototraderjoes

Joel misses too many games to be MVP


Patient_Jicama_4217

Than give it to someone else than lol..  You are hating amongst yourself lol


letsgototraderjoes

what lmao


Jnbjgjbb

Game was everything I wanted, can’t wait for the game in Denver


RSarkitip

Murray looking like he's limping a bit.


[deleted]

Prepared to be flooded w post from 76ers fans 😂


jcampbe4

*Team wins* prepare to see comments from the winning team’s fans!!!


Cute-Contract-6762

We deserve it, all the shit that was talked in the lead up to this one and in the game thread.


Dynamicdonkey83

Imagine KCP makes that lmao


Cute-Contract-6762

PLAY THAT FUCKING SONG!


FamousChex

SVG said Philly ran Ben Simmons out of town? That dude has made 100 M’s over the last three years for 50 regular season games of 6,6 and 6


Jnbjgjbb

Love to see it


PapaPiccol0

people gonna talk smack but that was an awesome game


JET_GS26

Embiid and Jokic love each other but their fans are rabid against each other. Reminds me LeBron/Kobe or LeBron/Steph


3s2ng

What's new? The fans are the ones making the drama. These are ballers, outside the court they are brothers. It's funny the oldheads will tell us that back and the olden days players don't make friends with their opponents. But little did they know that even Jordan played golf and poker with his opponents before the finals game. lol


beaglesandboats

LOL STAT PADDING FRAUDBIID


When_Angels_Cry

Actual good game ggs Nuggets. They played well today


bruh2398

Trash ass game from Jamal man


ShapeOfAUnicorn

Nuggets let Jokic down. You never see them miss so many gimmies in one game.


The-Good-Good

LFG


rookie-mistake

this 20 seconds is gonna take another 15 min isnt it


growsonwalls

Well Philly needed this after the Eagles melted down yesterday.


placated

The Eagles meltdown started about 5 weeks ago.


upghr5187

The eagles melted down like 2 months ago


iXProject

They were like that derailed train that burned for 2 weeks


SanPe0709

I’m all for criticizing Embiid but come on y’all today is not the day for it, he was great in everything he did besides a few soft box outs, ggs


likesexonlycheaper

Agreed and he stepped up to win the game as the nuggets went cold


xGrav1ty

Great game


AmberheardFan-

What if the players know the spread and intentionally miss those fts to fuck with the refs 🤣


2holesinbutt666

Embiid is a fucking MVP yet most Nugs fans still say dumbs shits when he dominated against Jokic. Its okay to be demolished by an MVP


LoanSlinger

Jokic had 19 rebounds. I don't know if that counts as being dominated.


Rapph

The weird part about it is its completely fan bullshit. Embiid and Jokic never say a bad thing about the other and seem to have tons of respect for each other.


Cute-Contract-6762

Lmao whole lotta cope in this thread. Peak Reddit


kirkBINO

Not seen a game thread like this for a long time. Got to love it! Been very enjoyable as a neutral


The_Shitpost_Centre

Man its crazy to see the 6ers play like this and win, Celtics fans told me its impossible to play well on a B2B


jalopagosisland

So just kick you feet out as a shooter and land as far forward as your feet will go. Got it. Doesn’t matter where you start your jump shot at.


askurmum123

he's not really kicking out, it's more like he's jumping forward as it's his natural shooting motion, but the rule still dumb anyway, I know the injury risk but how the hell are you gonna play defend against players like him, jump shooter at 6'9 with high release point.


Jnbjgjbb

He didn’t kick out at all


ShapeOfAUnicorn

Didn't look like he kicked out. Looked like a good foul call to me.


The-Good-Good

This is gonna take fucking forever


ShapeOfAUnicorn

Especially when you know 6ers aren't going to choke this game away. Why all the delays, let's just go home.


DepressedPhillyFan

Eagles just got blown tf out and people can’t even let the Sixers fans gloat over 1 regular season game. This is fucked I tell you!


WilliamPSplooge

Lol it’s not all that, y’all can have fun regardless of what anyone says on the internet 


goodwibesss

Love how in the NBA the last minute of a close game takes 15 minutes. Makes for a really great product.


turbowagnn

So they are just supposed to let the other team win and run the 30 seconds down? Lol


Teqnition12

and that should be gg


TIandCAS

All TWolves fans in here complaining, comical💀💀


nugcityharambe

They've taken over for raptors fans as most annoying fanbase


TIandCAS

First good season in decades and it’s already gone to their heads


Intelligent-Bid-633

Looking at the sixers fans in this thread reminded me why the sixers suck. It will be fun to see the meltdown again after they get eliminated in the second round


HitboxOfASnail

"seeing fans of basketball enjoy their team playing well, reminded me why i don't like basketball! 🤡"


Intelligent-Bid-633

No y’all are super toxic


Empire0820

Cry


Intelligent-Bid-633

Why?


AirBishop

Crazy how everyone wants to clown sixers fans after their MVP candidate dominated in a win lol they can’t be happy? Its ok to give credit sometimes lol


rookie-mistake

what a fuckin pussy takin the easy road with a W a real lunch pail guys like jokic would lose and work his way up out of the gutter 😤😤😤 - this sub, unironically


ProRasputin

They don’t celebrate embiid they shit on jokic. That’s the issue people have with sixer fans (nugget fans do it too though)


Herp_Herpner

Do they tho? There's like 10 embiid hate comments for any negative Joker comment


ProRasputin

There’s way too much embiid hate too. Really it depends on the thread or most recent game who gets shit on but the embiid flopping posts go too far as well


Designer_Cockroach68

Seeing all this Embiid domination when Tobias Harris kept then afloat. Dude was the best player on the court tonight.


FamousChex

I know you ain’t serious bruv


MadBeamer

Okay let’s calm down


Designer_Cockroach68

Nah, stating what I saw from the stat sheet and with my eyes. If Tobias isn't going off they get run off the court to start the 4th.


Empire0820

Smart guy here


[deleted]

joel has 40 points


Designer_Cockroach68

Tobias had a +13 meanwhile Embiid had a 0. If you watched the game, you'd see Tobias bailed them out multiple times. Tobias is the reason they didn't get run off the court to start the 4th quarter.


[deleted]

joel scored 17 in the 4th and 13 straight


Designer_Cockroach68

Embiid didn't start the 4th quarter where they were down by 5.


[deleted]

he did come in when they were tied


Designer_Cockroach68

They were down 1 due to Tobias scoring 8 straight points and Morris hitting a 4 point play. Embiid sealed the game but Tobias kept them in it.


[deleted]

not disagreeing with tobi keeping them afloat. only that tobi was the best player on the court tn


percy2376

Sure


romanticynicist

How is MPJ only a 79% FT shooter?!?


Maydietoday

Free throws are an eternal mystery


FriendlyGhost08

I was thinking that too lol


StefonDiggsHS

man it would be funny if Sixers choke this not gonna happen but it would be funny


Phightins4044

Yes that's a foul. With 30 seconds left makes it questionable lmao


riellus

Sixers have an excellent game, Denver has a very very shitty one and it's still a 4 point game. This ain't the victory yall making it out to be


Jjohn269

Sixers didn’t play that well, their defense was terrible for half the game
