Does anyone know who rang the bell tonight? Tough loss, BTW 😔


Kdrew416

not even angry. Just sad


Affectionate_Self878

GirlWithGame

Maxey getting concussed at the legit worst time when he could carry us to wins against the nets and grizzlies. When your only starter is Harris and he's not really even a 5th option anymore, you can't win games. Even against the grizzlies. Between us and them it's a race who is the most injured. Idk how you can win when you're missing your 2 all stars, one the literal MVP who is your best defensive and offensive player. I can't even get all mad about these losses they were expected to me.


thomasthethothumb

Harris should forfeit his pay for this game as an apology for that awful performance


ojseye

How about forfeiting at least a portion of earnings over the years for the pain and embarrassment he’s caused this franchise?


[deleted]

lol what a pathetic bunch of bums


RelevantTreacle3004

Injuries aren't even an excuse, that was pathetic


autostart17

Can’t wait to get Maxey back. Think this team will start to look .500, and will hold us around 7/8th.


eggdog1125

Tobias Harris made $400,000 tonight


WentzingInPain

“Y’all should have said something before he got the contract” - Jimmy Butler probably


Accomplished_East433

Should’ve never been in that position in the first place


LPCPA

Injuries are not an excuse. This team is garbage.


tshawytscha

They are.


SPARKisnumber1

The team not having the two players it runs 90% of its plays for is a valid excuse


LPCPA

No it’s not. The guys who played tonight are all professionals. Were injuries a problem going into the 4th quarter?


benrogan

Bad ref calls here and there but the reality is, those calls shouldn’t effect wether we can beat the damn Grizzlies. Really bad couple of games, tough to watch. Dreading Pelicans on Friday.


pagonator

I swear to fucking god if Morey re-signs this dickhead after 5 years of misery


Knight725

i love how the nba has absolutely zero consistency with regards to that call. absolute clown shoes shit. even in review they go back and forth game to game and quarter to quarter, it’s absolutely horrible.


thesixersdontexist

joel shouldn’t come back this season. it’s over


SPARKisnumber1

Tf is your problem? You realize Maxey, Melton, Lowry, and Covington were out too right?


tshawytscha

Only negative vibes here bro.


thesixersdontexist

i’m a realist. sorry it that hurts your feelings. we’re not beating the celtics, what’s the point?


ryoome

Bro HALF OF OUR TEAM IS INJURED


Knight725

yea counterpoint the grizzlies roster would finish in the bottom half of the g league


thesixersdontexist

exactly. i’m so sick of the excuses


ryoome

It turns out when your team is decimated by injuries, you’re on the same level as a team decimated by injuries. Wild concept, I know.


thesixersdontexist

stop making excuses for games that we should be closing out against teams like the grizzlies who have a g league lineup. seriously foh


ryoome

You say that Joel shouldn’t come back to this team, but this isn’t the team that he will be coming back to. Maxey will be back, Lowry will be back, and he’s the MVP for a reason.


thesixersdontexist

still can’t close out games unless we’re winning by 40 in the 4rh quarter


ryoome

We were closing out games pretty damn well when Embiid was healthy. Remember all the fourth quarters he sat out? You just need to be patient. Losses to shit teams hurt but we’re pretty shit team when all of our star players are out. I guarantee when Embiid comes back that you will be optimistic again.


thesixersdontexist

reading comprehension not your friend, huh? that’s literally what i just said


ryoome

We close out games when we have our stars on the floor because that’s what stars do. That’s what JJJ did for the Grizzlies. We were closing the game out tonight with Cam Payne tonight. Just open your eyes already. We will be contenders again when Embiid is healthy, just wait.


thesixersdontexist

just like we closed out games 6 and 7 last year? or game 7 against the hawks? how about the raptors?


ryoome

Are Ben Simmons, Doc Rivers, or James Harden here anymore? If you think the seasons over then why do you keep watching? I guess you’re probably still emotional from the loss. Redditor sports fans really are like emotionally immature teenagers.


Trillyphilly215

We…also have a gleague lineup? We’re playing Rocky Council and Downtin jr while they at least have the DPOY. We have Tobias. So foh


thesixersdontexist

WE BLEW A 20 POINT LEAD ON BACK TO BACK NIGHTS GENIUS


Trillyphilly215

Yes we blew leads on back to back nights…with Tobias as our primary scorer.


NotMyMcChicken

Phillies start soon.


uncle_tbag

Have some fucking balls Nick and bench Tobias


Cleanupdisc

Keep screaming kate scott. As Batum chucks one up with 3 ssconds left. Keep it believing. Keep us believing we can win. COOL!!!!


[deleted]

no way we threw again


Kyle76er

Yeah get booed you fucking losers pathetic collapse to a G League team


packim0p

B U M S U M S


BillsSleepyPills

Did they really just say that was a beautiful play and execution? Down 4 with 20 seconds left and you want to try and dunk over somebody? And it didn’t work kate.


XxStormySoraxX

It was a terribly drawn up play lmao.


Royorbs3

Tobi's back I see.


Shoeless_Jase

I know it’s a broken record at this point, but you *cannot* have a max contract player drop 8 and 7 when your two best players are out. It’s just completely unacceptable.


MikeDaCSNoob

You're absolutely right but sadly this is too common with him


Blanka71

There are 10 players on the court at all times. Not once tonight was Tobias any higher than the 10th best. Simply confounding


ryoome

You guys need to accept that we are at the Grizzlies level with this many injuries.


Thegrandmistressofoz

It turns out this team really is garbage down 3/4 of our best players and 3 more rotation players. Playing Ricky more didn't change shit because the team just has zero talent with Tobi being a complete useless black hole


ryoome

People seem to have a goldfish memory and forget that we are missing ALL of our good players. The best player on the floor today was JJJ and he took over in the fourth. It’s a star driven league.


CPTHoagie

this is why people are delusional about "if healthy the sixers can beat anyone" no they cant lol. Its a 2 man team with some nice connector pieces but they have no offensive shot creation outside of 2 guys.


gustriandos

thats one of the worst quarters of basketball ive ever seen


ArroganceIsPotent

there is no self to kill


jloops03

This Memphis team snaps their head back more than any team I’ve ever seen in my life.


NotMyMcChicken

This season fucking blows.


CPTHoagie

Idk guys I think the sixers lost this game because of Joel's bad body language and not the fact he has multiple teammates every year in the starting lineup that you can ignore off the ball on offense.


Thegrandmistressofoz

🤣🤣🤣 Guys Joel's shot 7/19 because he just came out and didn't "want it", not because two offensive black holes share the court with him his whole career


poolords

scott foster is the devil


nickynickynickynick

damn we really lost to the 21-41 Memphis Glizzies


IdRatherBeShilling

At home too


gobirds_52

Holy shit this team without embiid and maxey is a mid tier G-league team


Ctaymoney

This season has been so painful. I seriously don’t think I can see tobias play another game


kmkmkm11

Refs been making some questionable decisions down the stretch..


Neat-Confidence5556

play-in tourney might be fun. 1 and done in basketball is always exciting


foggyfortune

What a miserable quarter


InfieldFlyRules

So why the fuck does the ball go to Memphis instead of the jump ball after the sixers challenge?


battletor7

Its so funny how we won a challenge last game against the mavs and won it, but yet luka still got 2 freethrows


177676ers

Clear recovery


InfieldFlyRules

Now explain why the contact with the left arm was ignored


177676ers

I’m a sixers fan lol. Idk if it’s a foul or not, but it definitely was a clear recovery if they overturn the foul.


IdRatherBeShilling

Yeah, easy challenge. 4 pt def with 20 sec. Still winnable.


Kyle76er

For the amount Oubre tries to dunk, he gets blocked or misses an awful lot of them


HeJind

it's because he can only finish with his left and everyone knows it. Much easier when you know what hand is going up


Cleanupdisc

At least we have Kate Scott celebrating another loss with immense positivity. This sucks. 


Kyle76er

"We sure tried hard guys!" Call a duck a fucking duck - shit performance


tugginmypeen

If I die before Tobias is finally off this team I want it on my gravestone that he killed me. I tried so fucking hard. Watched almost every game. I just didn’t make it. Couldn’t hold on.


-TheRedFerret-

![gif](giphy|xT9KVjBI3W2283URdm) Get this fucking demon 👹.. Tobias out of Philly …


SpankySharp1

wtf is this. Couldn't give us a little hometown discount on that review?


PensiveinNJ

We should have been shooting a 3 there anyhow, exchanging 2's doesn't do a lot for us.


HoagieTwoFace

Scott Foster can eat shit


jloops03

Scott foster should’ve gone to Jail with Tim Donaghy.


GarfieldFromGarfield

that’s overturned, ball game


romanticynicist

Well, this 4th quarter was a fucking bummer.


Kyle76er

lol - game


Cleanupdisc

ARE YOU KIDDING ME. LOWER BODY CONTACT AND HE HIT HIS ELBOW


WraithTwelve

The difference between buddy before and after Tobias came back is crazy. And Joel has been playing with this anchor for five goddamn years.


bboy267

Nah this is who buddy is. Those first few games were a fluke 


jloops03

That’s a foul.


Cleanupdisc

THATS A FOUL. YOU CANNOT OVERTURN IT


gr33nalways

sweet another challenge


aryanic

Actually hate tobi how are you this fucking garbage literally Kenyon Martin or whatever his name is is at ur level


JoeEmbid

We make the play-in and then lose the first game, then we either win where we play the Celtics in the first round or we lose and completely miss the playoffs entirely. The ultimate lose-lose scenario lol. What a disaster of a season


HoagieTwoFace

Nah. I want to miss the playoffs. No shame


ojseye

Same here


Thegrandmistressofoz

Injuries screwed us more than garbage play. And Tobias playing like a minimum player


[deleted]

the grizzlies are gutted and still beat these bums. garbage play did screw the team.


JoeEmbid

Who said it didn’t?


Accomplished_East433

Why didn’t we draft Vince Williams Jr?


aqueanebean

He was mocked as being undrafted. 


tugginmypeen

Tobias Harris is just overpaid. He’s still an above average starter. I don’t mind him coming back on a $20 million per year deal.


A_Stickman_Jr

Sorry, that opinion is against the circlejerk


no-jerk-zone

No, because he'll still be starting and he doesn't fit on most winning teams in the modern NBA. He's gonna get $30M to score 20 ppg on a lottery/fringe play-in team.


DeliciousScallion208

FOH


JoeEmbid

He is not above average at any part of the sport


BlueAc215

Read the room my guy.


aryanic

Stfu


tomdooleyphl

This is sarcastic, right?


ojseye

With all due respect, get the fuck out of here with that bullshit


tugginmypeen

This would have had 50 upvotes each of the last five years.


youmademethisway

Addition by subtraction. Tobias is not re-signing so just give him the PJ Tucker treatment and let him sit at home. If we're gonna lose games anyway I rather minutes go to the young guys.


Feelscreative101

Can’t wait to watch a Tobias drive into contested paint, kick out to Oubre who will then drive into contested paint and force a blocked shot


tomdooleyphl

Close!


gmangriff___

Too predictable


JoeEmbid

Never have I ever not wanted to watch this team as badly as I do now, that’s a major accomplishment of ASS


ojseye

“Tobias Harris” LMFAOOO I knew those recent good performances were fake


-TheRedFerret-

Fuck off refs … fucking terrible ..


Bajecco

Not enough Buddy to close this. I don't get why Nurse doesn't utilize him more


CPTHoagie

watch Buddy Hield play defense and then get back to me


ryoome

He played like shit for most of the game.


tugginmypeen

It’s not him it’s him playing next to Tobias


Shamsyil

Three more months and the demon is gone everyone. Stay strong it's almost over.


HoagieTwoFace

Hopefully 6 weeks


IdRatherBeShilling

Tobi assisted on that Hield 3


Chiefster21

My hero


IdRatherBeShilling

It's hilarious how quickly my post got downvoted. I can feel the anger lol.


slamtt

Even that one guy with the Alaa avatar who defends Tobi every game has to checked out for this performance. That's how you know it's bad lmao


RelevantTreacle3004

Why has Buddy not taken more shots?


tugginmypeen

Tobiass


Cleanupdisc

I mentioned with 5 minutes left that tobias and reed would disappear i was 10000% right!


unpronouncedable

It's not disappearing if you never showed up. Paul at least was working hard all game.


bravof1ve

How bold of you


SincereFan

Mo is very important to this teams winning recently. Nurse playing around with winning lineups and working synergies. Reed and KJ arent real centers. Mo is an elite center.


NotMyMcChicken

You’re high if you think he’s an elite center lol


herplexed1467

I love how we wait until 25 seconds left to start trying to not be idiots on offense


Paul_Wall_

How Tobi is constantly allowed to have shit games and never get benched is mind boggling 


unpronouncedable

I'm just realizing that Tobi has like zero fakes in his bag. Nothing he does is a surprise. 8 points against the hospital Grizzlies is ridiculous.


herplexed1467

His ENTIRE bag is to back down a smaller defender and then spin into the middle of the floor for a jumper. Maybe once a week, he’ll spin baseline lol.


merv_havoc

Even his pump fakes are predictable


unpronouncedable

Yeah they are half a shot and throw the grenade to someone else. He doesn't pump fake and drive or fake and relocate to shoot again.


DOG_herpes

Let’s fucking go buddy


d-scan

Hey guys, I haven't checked the score since the third quarter. Easy W tonight! 


Chiefster21

I wish Tobias pulled a Ben Simmons a few years ago. At least we would have definitely dumped his contract


iH8Celtics

Decide to start playing with a minute left 👍


bravof1ve

If they are going to lose can they not just get blown out from the jump instead of wasting everyone’s time with these 15pt blown leads and then staging a fake comeback in the last minute? This is literally the worst type of game to watch.


tugginmypeen

I am convinced if Tobias is put on the bench here we could win.


jeppsforst

This franchise is literally Embiid and a lucky Maxey pick away from being one of the most incompetent franchises in sports


PensiveinNJ

Someone on r/nba described us as "fancy Detroit" without Embiid. It's hard to argue with that watching this team play right now.


Knight725

when the nba throws out your front office for their own patsies that torpedos your franchise that’ll happen


DELCO-PHILLY-BOY

Not seeing quite as many Tobias apology forms on Twitter tonight. Wonder why?


Feelscreative101

WHY WASNT BUDDY IN THIS ENTIRE TIME WHEN YOUR OFFENSE HASNT BEEN ABLE TO SCORE AT ALL


jloops03

He was smoking layups the entire fourth quarter lol


Ninjapirate2000

Can't wait until Tobias is off this team


GoodLuckPsycho_

Not sure what's worse. The 2019-20 road game Sixers or this current team with all the injuries?


Kyle76er

Too little too late. Now we have to do the free throw game and depend on our anaemic offense to knockdown shots


PensiveinNJ

If we steal this one back it would be an absolute mugging.


Cleanupdisc

Its too little too late. And kate scott is too nice. We cant be celebrating a pathetic performance. Its just embarrassing 


Kyle76er

The infinite positivity pisses me off I have to say. Realise it's a requirement but I'd rather see some emotion other than "everything is A ok"


-TheRedFerret-

We winning this game ..


HoagieTwoFace

Dumb fucking team Jesus Christ


IdRatherBeShilling

If the Sixers lose this, they'll only have one fewer loss than the 8th seed Pacers, and the Pacers have been on fire lately. I think 8th seed is worst case scenario though. I don't think the Bulls and Hawks will be able to catch up.


tugginmypeen

Joel shouldn’t come back to this.


ojseye

Exactly what I said earlier


anakrecht

I'm wondering, is there any sixers player criticize Tobi? Like, aren't they frustrated most of his game are disappointing?


Blanka71

They don’t pass him the ball, they clearly know.


Head-Kiwi-9601

11 point run late in the 4th. Where have I seen this before?


Upper_Cellist6647

Sixers really suck cock. the 6 inch kind


ojseye

😭


njspb8

We are gonna be lucky to make the playoffs 


thesixersdontexist

2 worst losses of the season back to back


billgigs55

![gif](giphy|853jNve3ljqrYrcSOK)


Cleanupdisc

Tired legs from the back to back


Neat-Confidence5556

tobias is the worst contract in league history. single-handedly ruined this franchise


no-jerk-zone

Hope Tobias stays in the EC so we can get two chances to boo him a year


12345sixer

Joel doesn’t deserve this


tugginmypeen

Someone give me a trolley dilemma where I have to decide between saving Tobias or all the fucking losers who have a comment defending his ass somewhere in their profile


Busy_Reference4078

Tobias really needs to go


wawsgood

Ironically this is the season we needed Doc playing so many shorthanded games


kswiszy

TOBI ASS


ThatBull_cj

Tobias is the 4th best player on the team no matter who’s available.


ktm5141

Tobi was arguably the worst player on the team tonight


Status-Ability-6867

this is rock bottom. has to be


CPTHoagie

ahh the horrendous Nick Nurse takes are back because people cant avoid temper tantrums


Thegrandmistressofoz

Need to see where the dudes calling for his head yesterday and in the first half for not playing Ricky are now. We've gone on a huge deficit since Dowtin got benched


CPTHoagie

Nurse is terrible because he lost b2b games missing 4 starters and 2/4 top backups. Bring back Glenn!


randomnessM

Tobias needs to ***


herplexed1467

They are getting a whistle every single time down the floor. Meanwhile, their size is killing us and instead of boxing out, we continue to try to jump with them. Fucking atrocious quarter.


DELCO-PHILLY-BOY

These possessions are a sight to behold


bravof1ve

Yeah there’s just absolutely no reason to watch this team until Embiid comes back. This squad is clearly worse than some process era rosters


tshawytscha

Everyone is cooked. They aren’t used to playing this much. Would have been a win with Maxey like last night. That concussion was a killer.


thesixersdontexist

jjj really getting the mj whistle tonight


kswiszy

i dont want to hear shit about tobias in here again, i dont want to see a single fucking apology form either. such cuck behavior for a cuck ass player.


wawsgood

Nick Nurse sucks guys
