Uh oh.

RIP Embeede.

Joel wants a flagrant foul called on Spalding. Wild.

KhalDrogo · 05-10-2022, 07:24 PM

Embiid and the Sixers took a lot of risk letting him play.

Don’t know what Doc is crying about here.

Exactly.

Looked like it was all ball and that caused the injury. What is Embiid bitching about? It was a basketball play.

Yeah. Ball literally was pushed back into his face in what many would regard as a 'going for the ball rebound.'

This new NBA is crazy.

Giroux · 05-10-2022, 07:34 PM

Embiid's face was broken by an elbow and he was called for a foul. Might have that on his mind when he complains to the refs.

Onepocketj · 05-10-2022, 07:58 PM

This is a pretty boring game. Even the crowd is bored

Ferg1945 · 05-10-2022, 08:00 PM

Totally expected Embiid to come out and prove he deserved the MVP. This performance just shows he will revert back to his old tendencies. Play great when called out... otherwise... play a lethargic game with no motivation.

In the past it would take Shaq and Barkley calling him out for him to have a monster game. I thought these last 2 seasons ended that... but losing the MVP might bring it right back.

Miami is terrible. Embiid is a shell of himself out there, and the Sixers are still hanging on.

Siberian13 · 05-10-2022, 08:08 PM

Another bad playoff game. Hopefully the later game is better

tjforce · 05-10-2022, 08:12 PM

Internet access in Philly really spotty right now.

I wouldn't worry. They just have to win the next two games to take the series.

They got rid of Simmons and he was the only thing holding him back, so I'm certain they'll be fine.

Yeah I think that sums up this Miami team.

They'll grit and grind and have a few nice plays, but there's a reason them and the Lakers brought in the lowest ratings of all time in an NBA Finals.

Morey to Doc when the trade went down.

Who gets canned this offseason? Doc, I assume?

I don't think people are giving Miami credit.

They are making philly look pretty weak right now.

They deserve credit...

But this is also Philly being Philly.

It's Doc being Doc.

It's Harden being Harden.

It's Tobias being Tobais.

It's Embiid being Embiid.

Ferg1945 · 05-10-2022, 08:39 PM

Emptying the benches with 7 minutes to go in a playoff game. Something you NEVER see.

sure, but you can say that about any team.

Golden state was crap last night and still won that game.

Miami is a tough team. I don't think they get the respect they deserve at the moment. Balance, depth, defense, scoring everywhere. They didn't finish first in the East by accident.

Granted, Philly completely sh** the bed tonight. Pretty poor effort all around, and they missed a lot of the handful of clean looks they did get. They need Embiid to show up to have a chance. If he's off in game six, it's ova.

Yea, but Golden State doesn't have the history of getting bounced out of the playoffs in epic fashion every single year.

They didn't "get rid of Simmons." Simmons wanted out.

KhalDrogo · 05-10-2022, 08:46 PM

Not going to be too hard on Embiid when he has a broken face. If it wasn’t the playoffs, he wouldn’t be out there. Don’t be surprised if he misses game 6.

Harden is trash though. Can’t wait for the Sixers to give him the max.

It's hard for me to discredit philly on a miracle shot by Kawhi. That was an amazing shot. Was it epic? sure, so there is that.
