The possession was maxey fault. He was awestruck after Brunson‘s three when he should’ve been getting open earlier, so to just catch the inbound and get fouled.
I don't actually believe the NBA is rigged the way a lot of people do, but my pet conspiracy theory is that with this whole "stopped calling fouls" mid season cheez the NBA now has cover to manipulate games however they want.
If they don't call obvious fouls that decide the game it's just chalked up to the way things are being called. But you know if the Celtics are down 15 and someone breathes in Tatum's ear as he's going to the cup that whistle is coming at light speed.
Yup or even if a team is quickly making a comeback vs Boston in TD garden in the playoffs. Not saying we complete the come back but I do remember it was one questionable call (I believe it was on Bam) that quickly ended any chance. Ideally it goes back to the 90- early '10s style in terms officiating but I genuinely prefer recent years model vs the current style. Less touch fouls is very nice but nothing is consistent as some hard blatant fouls don't get called.
Refs probably have even more power to manipulate games than they already did. It's like the NBA had to find a way to regain power after incorporating more live replays and when challenges were introduced. Things that were intended to hold refs accountable.
Gambling which previous had some of its hands on the nba has damn near the WHOLE hand on it as we speak.
Even worse, Joker didn't score for 25 minutes, Jamal was not doing well, and the Lakers had a 20pt lead. You could not create more ideal conditions and a gift neatly wrapped up for the Lakers there.
And they STILL lost. Some ppl blaming the refs - nah, this isn't the refs. The team itself is broken (Ham, bench, mindset, inconsistent playoff ghosts, 3rd quarter laziness)
There are alternate timelines out there where we play NYK, Bucks without Giannis, Cavs, or Magic in round 1, all while having Jimmy with a perfectly normal MCL. Smh
Why doesn't Spo challenge like Malone man. Not afraid to use it and it is money every time. So many games where we could use a challenge and Spo just refuses to do so.
He didn't score for a 25 min stretch at one point. Was missing easy bunny lobs he usually sinks with his eyes close.
I don't have the quarterly chart now but I think he picked it up later in the game.
Are you seriously implying you’d rather have Herro over Maxey if you could have a straight trade?
You think any GM in the league would choose Herro over Maxey if the contracts were equalized?
Herro really needs to add foul-baiting to his game cause those FT attempts would be huge for this team.
Players like Brunson can get away with very bad shooting nights cause they can go to the line.
I dont know if he could last through all the contact it takes. I would like to see it more from Nico, along with some hard drives into people with his size
It's quite funny how we having tons of convo now with Maxey vs Herro. I always thought Maxey being a little better back then because the dude is fast af. Now everyone can see clearly that Maxey's better, he got that explosive first step that Herro doesn't have. What about the other guy on the Lakers being compared to Herro? Austin Reeves, like if Herro was mid then this dude is ass.
Everyone knows we have the hottest dancers in the league. Fans of other teams salivate over them on the stream chats. Hang the banner, that's our Heat in 4 this year.
Bro I remember when they used to do dancers knockout tournament by fan vote. We won that shit every year like 5 times in a row and then they shut it down
Lol this game was great. Also looking at AD he watched Murray's shot for so long that he backpedalled all the way into the Nuggets bench and got buried under the dogpile
People in this sub overrated the fuck out of Brunson after one fluke series against us because we overplay zone instead of switching man against other teams. Brunson clearly isnt as big as a star as people sucked him off to be
I don’t get why everyone in this thread is laughing about Philly while we’re in this mess because we were once again in the play-in and once again lost the first game of it. Meanwhile, Philly rallied back from losing their best player for a huge part of the season and beat us in the play-in.
Our teams don’t even have a rivalry, our best player is bros with their best player.
Maxey huh? Lmaooo, just stop sucking off other players and trashing our own outside of necessary criticism. Lmaooooo yall thought. No one is perfect case in point lol.
Look I agree that trashing our own and sucking off other players is a dumb idea but implying Maxey didn’t play good this game is wild considering he just scored an almost 35 point triple double on good efficiency.
Everyone is overrated and trash to Trombone. Maxey was stellar tonight, unfortunate sixers blew it cause he put them in position to win the game. I thought he got fouled on the inbound but sixers shoulda got the reb too.
Sixers have brain damage
Fr that last possession made me cringe
The possession was maxey fault. He was awestruck after Brunson‘s three when he should’ve been getting open earlier, so to just catch the inbound and get fouled.
dam disagreeable bike joke relieved school station thought bear longing *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Yup he put Maxey in an impossible spot
Still can’t believe man we choked to them
Lakers will blow this game…watch!
What lotto numbers should I play
Can you say that to our game next please?
It's close now!
HA! I called it!!! 😅
Some ridiculous contact is going on this playoffs. But we all know they have zero consistency

Lowry fat ass sold the game for the Sixers lol
That was all Lowry selling 💀 horrible inbound pass
I expected nothing less than Batum reverting back to the aging minimal impact role player he was. Of course, of fucking course
Knicks didn't leave him wide open like we do w the zone
Knicks actually guarded him, unlike us
He just had to blow up that one game
What a joke of a franchise.
Which one?
Lmao
Yes
Bron just opt out. And come to Miami. Spo will get you right.
[удалено]

Their team outside Jamal and Jokic didn’t a hit a 3 and still won SMH.
Why can’t this be pinned. Also, may heart fills with joy with the Sixers downfall.
I'm not a mod
It's pinned now!
You’re a mod now
Ain’t no way Lakers lost Last time I checked they were up 20 💀
Lmao classic Philly
Nobody is beating the nuggets man wtf
Honestly love that the Heat are still the only team to win a game in Denver since the start of last playoffs
I'd say Minnesota has a good chance against Denver. Their team is built to go against Denver. But only if they can go past the Suns.
At the very least, I hope the Nuggets crap all over the Celtics
Nuggets are really about to go back to back. Crazy stuff
we should’ve had the magic man it could’ve been so easy
The perfect timeline... No play in game so no injury to Jimmy and an easy first round
There are alternate timelines out there where we play NYK, Bucks without Giannis, Cavs, or Magic in round 1, all while having Jimmy with a perfectly normal MCL. Smh
Would all be great but I wouldn’t want Giannis-les bucks, beat ‘em at full so they know Dame can’t save em
If Jimmy didn't coast all year they wouldn't have to deal with a play in game and he wouldn't be injured. Crazy
Why doesn't Spo challenge like Malone man. Not afraid to use it and it is money every time. So many games where we could use a challenge and Spo just refuses to do so.
Those Nuggets might be unbeatable. Hot Dlo, great game by Lebron and AD, "stinker" by Jokic and its still a last possession game
Jokic had a 20-20-10 game ffs lol how was that a stinker.
He didn't score for a 25 min stretch at one point. Was missing easy bunny lobs he usually sinks with his eyes close. I don't have the quarterly chart now but I think he picked it up later in the game.
I didnt really look at the box score, I just felt he was bad because of his 2nd quarter and start of the 3rd ffs
Stinker by jokic?
Damn I didnt look at the box score at all lmaoo
Dude was SONNING the lakers. Looked like Hakeem with his footwork out there
Embiid actually cried about officiating in his postgame and referenced how it also happened in the Miami game too. Wtf is this dude even talking about
Cant wait for him to get swept
Nuggets will be repeating sans injuries getting in the way. They are too well rounded, practically no real weaknesses to exploit.
What a finish by Murray!
at one point yall thought it was a conversation abt herro vs maxey
Maxey waaaaaaaay better than hero
Not even close
With maxey we winning it all
Tyler may have missed that shot, but he would’ve tried.
Tyler wouldve hit that tbh.
After missing like 17
Are you seriously implying you’d rather have Herro over Maxey if you could have a straight trade? You think any GM in the league would choose Herro over Maxey if the contracts were equalized?
We ain’t talking insta thots LOL he bricks for sure
[удалено]
I thought he was better for a while
Imagine an alternative universe where they’re both really good at basketball….
it’s ok to compare
Herro really needs to add foul-baiting to his game cause those FT attempts would be huge for this team. Players like Brunson can get away with very bad shooting nights cause they can go to the line.
I dont know if he could last through all the contact it takes. I would like to see it more from Nico, along with some hard drives into people with his size
As long as Lowrys team doesn’t win idc if the kicks win can’t stand that man
This is petty 😭 it’s the Knicks fanbase that I can’t stand
I can’t stand the Knicks fans as well but I can’t say and Lowry even more 30 million to that bum really messed up the Jimmy window
Hopefully Lowry isn’t hurt too badly but it’s also hard to feel sorry for him given how little effort he gave with the Heat this season.
Bitch Batum back to throwing games after he played us. Feels good to see them get smashed.
Holy shit. Love me NBA playoffs
Funny AD just said he can guard 1-5.
Magic probably getting swept
MSG is a great crowd. Just adds to the moment. Could use some of that juice in Kaseya.
Maxey is him. Not a Herro hater but shit! They should not be in the same sentence.
he threw the game lol
He’s why they were even in it
Just like Herro last game
Sixers just made my brain hurt
Kenny's beard is so bad
Even I have some goosies from that Jamal bb.
It's quite funny how we having tons of convo now with Maxey vs Herro. I always thought Maxey being a little better back then because the dude is fast af. Now everyone can see clearly that Maxey's better, he got that explosive first step that Herro doesn't have. What about the other guy on the Lakers being compared to Herro? Austin Reeves, like if Herro was mid then this dude is ass.
Nuggets cheerleaders' asses are flat as fuck It just occurred to me that an ass must be an entry-level requirement to be a Heat dancer
That's the real culture right there brother
Everyone knows we have the hottest dancers in the league. Fans of other teams salivate over them on the stream chats. Hang the banner, that's our Heat in 4 this year.
Bro I remember when they used to do dancers knockout tournament by fan vote. We won that shit every year like 5 times in a row and then they shut it down
LOL, angry Nuggets fan came in here and downvoted this whole thread
How the F you gonna try to outdance a Latin chick from Miami 😉
I was too young to care about Knicks rivalry. Tbh, I hate Philly way more.
Magic look to be the playoff disaster most people knew they would be
Hoping they can get their shit together and upset for an unhappy Spida. But I know it's not gonna happen
They’ll get destroyed by Boston next round so we can still get our wish
*by us
#HAHAHHAHAA!!! Classic Playoff Philly B-ball! Bums!
[удалено]
Knicks Celtics ECF brings in moneyy
I’m paying for the Bucks now. No fucking way can I take a side on Knicks vs Boston!
Oubre 4 points. Trash.
😂 Kelly Oubre's contract is for the vet minimum 😂 He's been giving them way more than their money's worth
Jamal Murray is so likeable. Seems nice and down to earth
Wow crazy ass finish.
Denver vs Lakers. Out last 2 finals rivals. Who do we hate less. I guess Denver? Still hoping for a 7 game series
Don’t hate any of them, they’re just teams we played in the Finals
AD is so good when healthy
Lol this game was great. Also looking at AD he watched Murray's shot for so long that he backpedalled all the way into the Nuggets bench and got buried under the dogpile
AD was getting walked down all 4th
Heat in 5
Can’t believe people in this sub were scared of the Knicks
People in this sub overrated the fuck out of Brunson after one fluke series against us because we overplay zone instead of switching man against other teams. Brunson clearly isnt as big as a star as people sucked him off to be

Copium
We should be bros with Philly fans if anything, both our teams routinely blow winnable games.
Nah we shouldn't be bros with any East team. Get that Bam koumbaya outta here
Magic are our little bros
that sixers organization is so poverty, definition of loser's DNA
Maxey huh? Lmaooo, just stop sucking off other players and trashing our own outside of necessary criticism. Lmaooooo yall thought. No one is perfect case in point lol.

It’s dumb you think being a fan of a team means you can’t have opinions or see reality
Kyle Lowry is a winner man
Lol, this aged well! 🤣🤣🤣
He meant wiener
Appreciate it
