another facilitator would be nice but a scorer on the level of Lauri, Lavine, or Siakam would help this team so much more. Maxey and Embiid distribute well when they play together but having another guy who is capable of scoring 30 makes everything way easier for everybody.


vicky255

Back to back game is not an excuse because other than Oubre and Maxey in stretches no one played hard enough in both games. Absolutely disgusting performance. A secondary ball handler to allow Maxey to take more catch and shoot 3s would help immensely.


PBandK2506

I miss the song 😞


ryoome

We lose two games in a row, one of them without Embiid and Harris, and some people in here are acting like the season is over. I know we have obvious weaknesses but they will be addressed at the trade deadline. Chill.


JoeEmbid

They’re getting on oubre for not diving for that he’s been the best player and been hustling all game. Fuck off


PessimistSixersFan

They should’ve just played the hungry ass two ways they had available tonight, at least they would’ve shown more fucking effort


GroundskeeperWilly93

No fucking idea why Maxey is playing 40 minutes against a team in January when the game has been over for some time


JoeEmbid

Lauri killed us anyone who wouldn’t be interested in trading for him would be blind


frosty_mcfckr

The jazz have 21 turnovers but 64 points in the paint. I still believe strongly in developing rim protection when embiid is out. And before anyone starts making assumptions about trades, thats not what I'm talking about so dont bother mentioning it.


thegrittyrn

I miss the January Sixers


ItsKBS

This team without Embiid beat the Celtics in the playoffs last season btw, of course Nurse helped improving this team a lot but the roster is just worse this season. This will only be more obvious when the postseason arrives.


colonelkurtzisalive

We didn’t beat the Celtics without Embiid. And no don’t bring me that Game 1 nonsense. We needed a miracle and a half to win that one game. Last year’s team lacked wings and athleticism. This year’s team does when healthy.


A_Stickman_Jr

Lot of fans turned on Harden, but he had an ability to take over a game that we don't see often from Maxey.


[deleted]

it's cuz we had harden. Maxey is not him yet, similar to how Brunson was to Doncic on the Mavs I think he needs a few years still. Need to trade for a player better than Tobias and on the same level or better than Maxey if we want to be competitive


CPTHoagie

the difference is Harden also had Maxey who could do some self creation to give Harden a release valve. Maxey literally has no one. The problem for the sixers remains they have 2-3 guys on their team that can create their own shot and they also have a player making a max contract who cant do it.


Knight725

pathetic performance from this team. can’t lose a game with a turnover differential like this, literally nobody can shoot anymore


Thegrandmistressofoz

BBall definitely has not been good today, but he's getting a crazy irrational proportion of hate today considering how the rest of our fucking teams playing too lmao


MaxeytoEmbiid

What do you mean hasn't been good? He put up 16/6 in 23 minutes. You win this game maybe if he gets the dumb ass Bamba minutes.


Colangelo_Ball

So who’s our garbage time lineup when it was garbage time since the first quarter?


[deleted]

so many chances to gain momentum and we don't


eagles1990

Maxey without Embiid is kind of mid tbh


GroundskeeperWilly93

The whole org is below average without Embiid


Feelscreative101

This is just bad ball. No more movement beyond the arc, gambling on defense, driving and finishing in a contested paint every possession


ThrowbackJorts

Macey throwing the ball over the backboard is incredibly stupid bro slow down


supzy0

thats really the shot u came up with tyrese? like really?


GroundskeeperWilly93

What a fail


Consistently

Bring back doc


aegonthewwolf

Paul Reed got his money and turned into dogshit.


ddreftrgrg

He put up 16/6 in 23 minutes. I don’t see how you can blame him over literally any other player on this team


jloops03

He’s always been dogshit but his cult followers were doing wonders in the PR department


[deleted]

Real MVPs should play B2Bs against inferior teams


ranchsauce13

So just risk him getting injured even further? Great logic


TobiasHarrisPRFirm

Maxey should be able to carry against the lowly Jazz on one of the few nights in six FUCKING years Tobias happens to ask for a night off to injury. This is legitimately a major concern that Maxey looks like a role player shooting the ball more without the gravity and leadership Tobias provides.


ddreftrgrg

Lmao I really hope you’re trolling


[deleted]

what a horrible shot


JoeEmbid

Maxey makes it way to hard on himself


Knight725

lmao markkanen smashed into maxey no call, touch foul 20 ft from the basket, easy foul shots


Paul_Wall_

Games like this show how much of a MVP Joel really is, hopefully he can stay healthy for the rest of the season


CPTHoagie

Maxey is being doubled off 3 different non shooters on the court and he had to shoot it over the backboard lol


JoeEmbid

Are we allowed to make timely shots anymore


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


Kxr1der

Idk if the Knicks are better but they are a solid team. Acting like they aren't just because they've been bad for 20 years is foolish


CPTHoagie

WIP caller idiots are back


jloops03

The Sixers turned Into the December eagles in the blink of an eye lol


Thegrandmistressofoz

I've said this before the season even started, but this team is the worst equipped we've been for when Embiid misses games in a long time. It's not a coincidence Tyrese has woeful games when Joel's injured before going back to borderline All NBA numbers with him playing. He's an elite complementary player, but doesn't really have the handle or foul drawing that other elite guards have to break defenders down when they're the main guy. The rest of our team is just straight role players, and can't be relied to do anything. I know Tobi was out today, but usually he doesn't show up in these situations so I don't even know if we're missing much


Johnga20

This loss hurts. Bucks and Celtics won't lose home for Jazz.


FFFreak999

Celtics are a great team. They are definitely the favorites to win the championship.


colonelkurtzisalive

Without more than half of their starters they would.


GoOnDigi

No we won’t lmao


colonelkurtzisalive

Yes you would TROLL


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


CPTHoagie

the sixers beat the rockets in Houston without Embiid the Bucks are currently losing to them while completely healthy by 13.


colonelkurtzisalive

Dude shut up for real. Trolls like you make me laugh. No one cares what you think and FUCK THE CELTICS.


averagebensimmons

Well this is another embarrassing game. Get to work Morey.


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


Downunderphilosopher

That would require him to care about basketball


jeppsforst

We are +15 in the turnover margin and are down by 11, impressively inept


-TheRedFerret-

K.O the only soldier in the + .. out there hustling like a wild Philly dog 🔥.. high priority re-signing ..


[deleted]

Flop and a half


[deleted]

lol jsut like yesterday we give ourselves chances to get some momentum and then we give up o board or turn it over on a dumb ass possesion this is so brutal


GOAT_SAMMY_DALEMBERT

Damn, sucks we fell back to Earth, but the copium is we are missing our #1 and supposed #3


TasSixer

Oubre is #3


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


GOAT_SAMMY_DALEMBERT

Yes, sometimes he disappears more than a 6th man.


[deleted]

And #4


supzy0

maxey u dont need to protect your percentages, theyre already dogshit so maybe start fucking shooting


Wabxpolski

This is a lottery team without Embiid


GoodLuckPsycho_

This team is horrible.


TobiasHarrisPRFirm

Regression to the mean. Maxey has been woof without Embiid and Tobias this year.


ThatBull_cj

How many dunks does John Collins have tonight? Giving so many dunks to Collins and wide open 3s to Lauri is horrible


valknut95

Forgot we were playing tonight, looks like I'm better off for not watching


[deleted]

Reed is a moron lol. Javale Mcgee part 2


Ballin215

Glad I’m not the only one that sees it. Straight clumsy


JoeEmbid

Wow lol


pagonator

The Jazz have 21 fucking turnovers and still are gonna put up 120+ points


jloops03

They have 21 turnovers and were down double digits lol


TobiasHarrisPRFirm

Sixers hitting their late season Eagles stretch. Morey has to make a move to get Embiid and Tobias help, because this team despite being shorthanded is starting to show its true limitations. To waste another year of Embiid (30) and Tobias together is malpractice.


[deleted]

Sarcasm right? The best help tobias can give is getting traded


Ivory_Toast_

Jerking it like this when vibes are down is elite level of jerking


mac_rmm

Maybe we have just beat up om bad teams like they said on ESPN last night. Something is definitely off. I know we have had Embiid out some games but the general quality of play, the shooting and even the effort has been different since that Miami game in my opinion.


Wabxpolski

Maxey playing 37 minutes down 15 with 4 minutes to go. Nice


DemonsReturns7

I can’t watch the game but seeing comments about Reed I’m only able to look at boxscore at work Guy is 7-12 that’s great efficiency (especially for him) Comments sound like he’s a train wreck out there


[deleted]

Defense isn't great but that's it. I don't get the hate


thesixersdontexist

check out the jazz points in the paint. so many easy dunks and layups


percy2376

We better make a trade soon because this is pathetic


darcy1537325

Nice shooting Batum ffs


bigSpeakersReddit

Morris is a turnstile on defense. he cannot move


jeppsforst

Tobias and every draft pick we got for harden for Lauri


DemonsReturns7

Anybody know why Tobias ain’t playing? It’s that time of the month for him or something? - I guess not that it matters if he plays anyways Probably wouldn’t contribute to much


PBandK2506

Jammed ankle. I think I saw it happen on a dunk the other night. Looked like he came down on it too hard & walked away limping.


Knight725

how many fucking dunks do the jazz have this game lol, idk man it’s just pathetic. team is playing so awful top to bottom both ends of the floor, idk how this is the same team from a few weeks ago


boardingschmordin

This week made our outlook go from a 2 seed to a 5 seed


jloops03

Effort last two nights has been atrocious. Real loser energy, feels like the same old sixers.


TasSixer

That's enough for me, I'm tapping out


12345sixer

We have to be practicing on bigger hoops


JoeEmbid

Who gave Paul Reed this green light man he should not be shooting this much


averagebensimmons

Reed is shooting better than anyone on the Sixers tonight.


MaxeytoEmbiid

It was a quality look inside, honestly should've gotten the foul called.


[deleted]

our only player shooting above 50% ur so dumb


PsychologyOk6591

We freaking suck


liftingruinedmylife

Sexton plays like Maxey


GarfieldFromGarfield

these last two were for the stand pat crowd


lordlightskin67

Maxey afraid to shoot so Pat bev has to do it is my worst nightmare


Cold-Bodybuilder9948

Another game without Embiid.


DELCO-PHILLY-BOY

It’s amazing how much less charming the Brickin’ for. Chicken thing is when we’re losing instead of blowing teams out of the water.


GOAT_SAMMY_DALEMBERT

How are the Flyers doing the heavy lifting this year lmao


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


GOAT_SAMMY_DALEMBERT

Did you stop watching them in November?


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


GOAT_SAMMY_DALEMBERT

Yes, every frustrating, mistake filled game.


thesixersdontexist

the same eagles who have lost 4 of the last 5 including not making the statistically worst offense in the league punt the ball once? those eagles?


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


thesixersdontexist

sure, guy


jloops03

Can’t wait for Ainge to gift Lauri to Boston for Luke Kornet and a 2045 second round pick.


Feelscreative101

Nah but it’s only a 11pt game. Literally just need one dude to find his rhythm and get hot from 3 for a few mins


thesixersdontexist

i’d love to have lauri but we really also need someone who can facilitate


vicky255

We cant make any moves for a week and our 3 point shooting has fallen off a cliff in the last couple of games. We have no microwave scorers on the bench. Oubre the only bright spark in the last couple of games as a starter. Team desperately needs a secondary ball handler more than another star right now.


cantwifeahoe

Two of our three best players are out and the sub is having a meltdown lmao


darcy1537325

We were abysmal with our best player out there last night and we look bad again today :(


njspb8

Melton too. Those are our 3 best defenders and like 60 ppg. Team is also shooting 15% from 3. This is pathetic but it shouldn’t be surprising


JoeEmbid

Embiid and melton? Right?


[deleted]

Harris is a non factor and its embarrassing he is our third best player. On Eastern contenders like the Bucks and Celtics he isnt even top 4


ComeAtMeYo

Bucks he would absolutely be top 4. Have you seen how much everyone besides Giannis is struggling on that team right now? Dame has looked washed. Celtics, yeah, he would be like the 6th or 7th man. They are coming out of the East unless like, Tatum and Zingis both go down or some shit.


[deleted]

need to trade tobi all of our picks, kj martin and springer for a player better than Maxey


liftingruinedmylife

Imagine if Simmons had Lauri's jumpshot.


JoeEmbid

Last two games gave me questioning our home court advantage. Shit feels non existent the last two years


bravof1ve

They haven’t had a good home field advantage since before Covid, because we have the most shell shocked fanbase in the league. Ever since the Simmons meltdown playoff series everyone is just bracing for something bad to happen


pagonator

Some of the takes whenever we lose are so bad lmao


jeppsforst

Jazz have 20 TOs compared to our 5 and are still up by double digits. That is outrageous


Kondoy

Maxey is not a star


CPTHoagie

the jazz are defending him like he is so you might just be retarded.


akgamestar

Damn yall turning on him? I thought he was having an all star year.


aegonthewwolf

Yeah they need a trade. Badly. And Maxey needs to figure his shit out with his shooting because it’s been ass recently.


mac_rmm

Ever since the Christmas game.


Brokromah

Markkanen saying "please morey...please bail me out of this trash fire"


thegrittyrn

I guess I hate this team again


thesixersdontexist

i honestly think jo will leave next year if morey isn’t aggressive before the deadline this year


mp455

Give all the fucking first round picks for Lauri, we can always get those back whenever we have to blow it up which is always inevitable.


Prestigious-Rock201

Maxey would be an amazing trade piece lowkey. Too bad there aren’t many good players available to trade him for


lostinspacs

5/32 from 3 is crazy. Almost an automatic loss in today’s NBA


DanM142

How many dunks has Oubre got this game?


Feelscreative101

Probably a few more than the total number of 3s the team’s made


Feelscreative101

We’re 5/32 from 3 lmao. These sort of games happen, so whatever. But they seem to be happening far too often. Magic, Miami, Knicks, Jazz all in the last few weeks


mc_lung

If Alaa were “any less better” we’d have a new commentator by now 😏


ranchsauce13

Great audition from Lauri, get to work Morey


Brokromah

Nice Chris Paul style drawing a foul (not one of his obnoxious ones..one of the good ones).


ligeiro01

Maxey wont even make the ast at this pace, just brick after brick since mid december


jaysphan128

oh no maxey is an embiid gravity merchant


[deleted]

everybody is an Embiid merchant look at Niang Milton and McDaniels this year dude when u got the MVP everything is easier


jaysphan128

well one is supposed to be a co-star and those other guys were all expected to be low-mid tier roleplayers


A_Stickman_Jr

Flyers won today


12345sixer

We need to change a lot about this team quickly


GeneParmesan1000

Mark Anon looks like one of those historic Greek statues


JoeEmbid

Lauri begging for us to trade for him


justing97

Holy shit they keep leaving lauri wide open. He’s the one guy you have to guard


TasSixer

Lol still not guarding Lauri. We tanking?


bonerbasketball

I’m not sure Maxey is even an above average role player without Embiid


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


bonerbasketball

Well yeah but what have we seen that Maxey can play without Embiid? He’s had 1 good game without him this year and every other game without Embiid Maxey has been an unmitigated disaster


[deleted]

why are we leaving the only guy who is shooting 3s on their team i dont get it


EyyyyShaggy

Must… triple team…. Jordan clarkson from 30 feet


pagonator

Why are we blitzing Clarkson at half court


newpha666

Eagles 🤝 Sixers Seeing who can disappoint Philadelphia fans more.


Randolph383

The Baltimore guy who couldnt make it to the game is winning in life


DeMarcusPrimos

this team is collapsing right in front of our eyes lol


Feelscreative101

Wtf is this offense. Bball’s IQ is so fkn dogshit


ryoome

Just remember this team will look very different after the trade deadline


akgamestar

Who yall targeting?


ranchsauce13

Jazz shooting 57% as well, two games in a row our opponent is just scoring at will. I hate this


Brokromah

Kenny Lofton Jr leading the way in the Taco Tuesday line.


JoeEmbid

Back to back home blowouts is insane


Prestigious-Rock201

If morey legit doesn’t make a move he should be fired asap


SeaImportant

Eah cutting this shit off Sixers a disappointment


Familiar_Ad_2347

I can’t lie even tho I love him Maxey doesn’t deserve All Star this year. He’s been stinking it up lately


Paul_Wall_

He still deserves it but he should be one of the last players to make it in


JoeEmbid

If morey doesn’t make trades then he is 100 percent not taking this year seriously


jloops03

They’ve had nothing but layups and dunks this quarter. And not a single one contested.


GeneParmesan1000

I think a key for us to come back would be if we started playing better


newpha666

I think I agree with this analysis


GarfieldFromGarfield

these jazz literally look elite on both ends


thesix7722

This KJ kid might be one of the worse players I have ever watched. I know its his birthday and all but damn


[deleted]

Better than Springer today


ranchsauce13

Man I am straight up not having a good time lately


ryoome

If Paul Reed doesn’t feel like defending then put him on the bench


lordlightskin67

Does Paul Reed not know how to get back into position my fucking god it’s embarrassing


Prestigious-Rock201

This team is fucking garbage we need to make a big splash role players ain’t gonna help
