Other Sports: Philadelphia 76ers, 2024-25: Countdown to April

Well deserved loss. Always exciting to see them find ways to lose. This time, it was 3 turnovers in a row under 3 minutes with the lead, one on a 3 on 1, another a travel. Ultimately lost to an offensive rebound.

Losers tend to lose

Haven’t really paid much attention this year but they’re 1-5?!? Yeeesh

 

[Jack Straw]

Probably the best game the Sixers have played so far, so you know… marginal gains.

Yabusele’s best game easily. Drummond only played 15 minutes, he hasn’t looked particularly good so far. PG a little rusty but looks fine.

 

[Embiid]

I thought they went a bit too many times to the well with Yabu in the closing minutes and had an untimely turnover...but he had a good game overall...

 

[Mkoll]

they hung with a top team all game, lots of positives. But the last 3 minutes were unforgivable.

"You know what though? Joe tried."

Embiid suspended for three games. So guess he’s not playing this trip.

 

[DancingPanther]

Live with the consequences baby. He wasn't playing anyway lol

Silver is a clown

 

[Embiid]

Said he was willing to "live with the consequences" and that wasn't even in reference to the initial incident....guess we have to live with these consequences as fans. Luckily and hopefully that will be it.....

No wonder the people in the league office had to get rid of Hinkie and install coangelo.

Now the league is investigating the sixers for not playing embiid when he is not injured, and investigating embiid for pushing a reporter who referenced his dead brother and child. The league the suspends the player who they fined the sixers 100 grand for not playing the player they just suspended….

Madness.

Lol nba is a joke

I think PG’s passing was maybe the best part of what he added last night. Sixers have been plagued by too many anti-flow dinguses for years. When an actual multi-faceted connector shows up, it smacks you in the face. Seemed to be the only one to have some good defense on KD too. Having said that, pass the f***ing ball to Maxey for the last shot, my dude.

Guerschon stock to the MOON. Another connective piece. I’d like to see what he looks like with Embiid. Speaking of center, really the only head scratcher this off-season was Drummond — still not a fan!

Hayes is the schoolyard bully getting the last laugh while the kid he picked on gets detention for snapping. So classic. At least most of the NBA sphere agrees he's a jackass

I think this is a solution to their problem, though. Every time they want to give Joel some "load management" don't just sit him, let him push a reporter. Then he'll just be suspended and they won't get fined for not playing him.

Just saw this now but Embiid is now tied for most likable athlete in sports history.
