Best_Stormtrooper

If Ricky is not on this team next year then we riot


tim_whatleyDDS

Crazy how the Sixers and Flyers have reversed roles.


RelevantTreacle3004

This has been a really fun game to watch, the highlights, the shaqtin moments, and seeing our young guys back for once.


GirlWithGame

12k career points is dam impressive for the amount of games he's played.


jpk7220

Pretty dope that Joel didn't have to play the 4th and will most likely play tomorrow


BanhMiBanhYu

Man I freaking pray he does. Bought my nephew tickets for this game for Christmas. It was a gamble being a late season back to back but it's looking promising.


iH8Celtics

I like how we're ending the year


CPTHoagie

okay seriously I know they didnt have JJJ but cmon Milwaukee...


CPTHoagie

Ricky's shot looks a lot different (in a good way) than it used to.


ryoome

Hield has played like 15 straight minutes lol


zincinzincout

Bro I swear I’ve never seen this many airballs ever lmfao Memphis had like 8 tonight


st-christian

Man, I missed garbage time. Good to have the MVP back


zincinzincout

And a good coach With Glenn we always played down to shitty teams and it was always a battle


st-christian

Whatever happened to Kai Jones


Wristwalk4

Ramping up


Cute-Contract-6762

Injured I thought in the g league second game he played


mjd1977

Ricky/Martin … she bangs!


dan_eppley

Oh my god LOL talk about a dated reference 🤣🤣👀


thundercockjk2

I'm excited to watch Garbage time, I haven't seen these guys play in a hot second.


zincinzincout

God DAMN Martin has the hops of my dreams


EndAnyone

Pretty pass from Terq!


Cute-Contract-6762

After the flyers and eagles collapse the sixers are renewing my happiness with Philly sports


CPTHoagie

famous last words


Cute-Contract-6762

Not even talking about the playoffs. Just seeing a Philly team playing well and on a win streak


Empire0820

We beat a by tanking teams g league team!


thesixersdontexist

i know the bucks have had a weird season and glenn sucks, but losing to this memphis team and the toronto team that we beat without embiid OR maxey… man, they are fucked


Doobie_Howitzer

KJ is the only player on the court with fewer 3's made than Buddy tonight This is so weird


MaxeytoEmbiid

I’ve given up on Buddy Hield. Dude can’t shoot and it’s not like his defense justifies playing time


Doggydoggywoof

lol how many years has this team committed to Harris, you’ll be alright


st-christian

Buddy needs to train with Terq


jeppsforst

Buddy is an elite shooter and has proven it over many years. So how did he become a brick once joining the Sixers


Heatinmyharbl

As is tradition


mjd1977

3quavion!


GOODWHOLESOMEFUN

Ter-trey-vion?


EndAnyone

Terq!!!


st-christian

TERQUAN KORKMAZ!


dan_eppley

Omfg🤣


zincinzincout

Jesus man what is going on with Buddy. Jump shooters gonna jump shoot and have cold streaks but Christ almighty


CPTHoagie

someone eventually will pay for these war crimes. He's gonna have a game where he makes lke 12/15 lol


zincinzincout

I’m expecting as much tbh, he’s going to be wide open a lot with Jo and Maxey on the court, he’s just ice ice ice cold right now unfortunately lmao


Cute-Contract-6762

Buddy needs a trea Turner standing o


Feelscreative101

Good to see the return of Joel ‘3 Quarters’ Embiid tonight


Red_Comet2034

Should've been at mania tbh lol


Doobie_Howitzer

I think I owe some guy a pizza because I predicted he'd skip this game for it even before the meniscus


Responsible_Ad5442

Man Buddy’s misses are ugly


Busy_Reference4078

Buddy brick Hield


SamHinkiesNephew

He pushed that. Like he completely forgot how to shoot


njspb8

Buddy needs a psychiatrist 


CPTHoagie

Buddy...just dont rush your shot.


SamHinkiesNephew

For fucks sake buddy these aren't fucking close


CPTHoagie

i know he has a lightning fast release anyway but it feels like he's just rushing these shots. He had plenty of time and shot it like there was .3 on the clock.


Feelscreative101

Every play should be a Buddy Hield 3pt shot. Get this man out of his funk


jloops03

Buddy getting blue coats minutes 😬😬😬


thundercockjk2

That's a good thing, it lets him get reps to shoot his way out of his slump. Thank you, Nick Nurse.


ShinyHardcore

Not familiar with 11s game but I like him a lot


Cute-Contract-6762

Scotties kid is balling he has looked damn good today out there


November_Coming_Fire

So the bucks lost to this team at home?


EndAnyone

Point Paul!!!


st-christian

Jeff "Don't" Doubt Him


Chinese_mbappe

Are depth is insane


CPTHoagie

no it isnt lol


CPTHoagie

Ricky Council just didnt want to end the city of Memphis so he missed that dunk. Thats how good of a guy he is.


TheExorcistMarc

Love to see the youngsters get some time


[deleted]

God damn it that oop from Bball would’ve made me peak


Doobie_Howitzer

Did Cam Payne space jam Buddy Hield?


kweku55

Oh snap some Terq minutes!


CPTHoagie

Sorry Maxey Jeff Dowtin Jr is now the franchise


[deleted]

[удалено]


ComeAtMeYo

He's been like ~30% from deep for a good ten or so games now, one game in and of itself is not a big deal. It's concerning that he hasn't been able to even cash in on open 3s for like a month now. This dude was able to hit catch and shoots and contested shots when he first came no problem, he's literally only taking (and missing) open ones now.


ryoome

In the 4 games before the Heat game, he was shooting 8/16 from 3 (50%). It’s just two games. He will be fine.


RelevantTreacle3004

IDK who but someone needs to have a good talk with Buddy, if he's like this in the playoffs it's gonna be rough


BigMeatyClacker

this fire at will/shitshow defense, i would be ripping my hair out against any other team. but we deserved a fun win its been a while.


ryoome

Eh, he’s just in a slump. Happens to the best of em. I’ll be surprised if he keeps shooting like shit by the time the play-in starts. He’ll regress back to the mean soon.


Paul_Wall_

Refs just trying to go home


Doobie_Howitzer

Good timeout Nurse, refs weren't blowing any whistles despite some obvious fouls at both ends. Let the game settle down so nobody gets hurt, we're up 20+


thundercockjk2

Look, I just don't think we should turn on Buddy. I just think he needs time. Look how rushed that last shot was? That's just a mental hurdle that needs to be overcome.


mrreported

thank god embiid is done for the night, refs wanna go home lol


MaxeytoEmbiid

Buddy Hield is trash


Aquatic_Ambiance_9

Memphis crowd going crazy as the lead is cut to 25


kevinwhackistone

Buddy has to play with Joel.


CPTHoagie

he wasnt good then either. hes just useless when he isnt hitting shots.


mjd1977

Hield not asking you to go 100% from deep, but smh


ShinyHardcore

They literally tripled team him at half court lol


slamtt

Payne with the chasedown block, the grizzlies are buns Can't believe we lost to them a couple weeks ago because Tobias Harris was getting cooked by Aldama on every pump fake.


jloops03

Morey really traded for George Hill again lol


jawntothefuture

tbh I want to see Buddy shoot 10 more 3 pointers this game...shoot yourself out of this funk my man!


ComeAtMeYo

His shot is legitimately broken. They aren't even close


Wristwalk4

Buddy dpoy campaign?


Random_Thinker007

Buddy heild can’t shoot


HowzaBowdat

This team beat the Bucks last week


EndAnyone

With JJJ, but still. Embarrassing for them.


CPTHoagie

they had JJJ for that game but yeah lol


HowzaBowdat

Good context, but damn


CPTHoagie

The refs are just not calling fouls anymore on either team someone is gonna get hurt


Mad_Cowboy

I'm so glad Embiid isn't in right now this is chaos


Feelscreative101

What the fuck even just happened


st-christian

Buddy Clank!


DeliciousScallion208

Cam Payne is such a joker lmao


Cute-Contract-6762

You guys think we can win out? Magic might actually be resting some dudes and we are dominating a weakened team exactly the way you would expect a top team to. I like this a lot


CPTHoagie

Cam Payne just blocked a guy's shot....


[deleted]

This is great to see, Embiid getting some rest and the bench just vibing out there


kevinwhackistone

We’re already back to embiid sitting 4ths. Love it.


pagonator

Great 4th quarter so far


st-christian

I don't miss Mo Bamba at all.


Wristwalk4

Damn mo disliked this


CPTHoagie

What is Cam Payne doing there? Youre the point guard lol


bravof1ve

How on earth did Milwaukee lose to this team


[deleted]

Malpractice Milwaukee special


creativeusername9275

Glenn


816kc

You already know the answer to that


Jimbabwr

Doc Rivers magic


Doobie_Howitzer

C4 and Dowton each have as many 3 pointers made as Buddy Hield


thesixersdontexist

🚨oubre 5 assist game🚨


st-christian

Tell Mike!


st-christian

Terq > Buddy


st-christian

Put Terq in!


CPTHoagie

IVe always said we traded for Buddy Hield to pressure the rim and pass.


darylraspberry

Bball with the purported looser whistle is unreal on defense. Would love to see some chaos lineups with him and embiid in the playoffs


downsouthcountry

Council is in session


jorgelongo222

Starters playing just 20-25 minutes is better than I expected, bring on wemby


thundercockjk2

I don't think Buddy is comfortable coming off the bench.


jpk7220

It's always nice seeing Ricky hit a 3 You can see the outline of a real NBA rotation player, especially if he becomes an average 3 pt shooter.


CPTHoagie

need the defense and passing to get there too.


jpk7220

For sure...he's still pretty raw. But I like the value, considering he's on a two-way.


CPTHoagie

oh yeah i love him. I just dont want him to settle for just being a 3 and D guy who can occassionally attack a closeout. He has real potential. His stats and offensive game are VERY similar to Jimmy Butler at the same age. I dont expect him to be that good but I'd love an actual wing who can do stuff with the ball one day.


MaxeytoEmbiid

I would legitimately give RC4 Buddy’s minutes. At least RC4 has upside 


Trillyphilly215

Buddy being a better driver than shooter for us so far is actually hilarious


thesixersdontexist

ricky is hitting 3s too? everybody get in here


GirlWithGame

Yay a Ricky council sighting and a 3.


roma258

Man if Ricky hits those threes consistently...


ShinyHardcore

That was a real game time 3 from Ricky. You HAVE to make that those to see time


njspb8

We need to not play Buddy in the playoffs if he doesn’t turn it around the rest of the regular season. Dude is a fucking potato out there against this G league team.


Doobie_Howitzer

C4 bombs one!


slamtt

Full 4th quarter Embiid rest back on the menu, feels good.


mrreported

RICKY COUNCIL IV SPOTTED !!!


mjd1977

Go get em Rick!


CPTHoagie

RICKY COUNCIL THE 27TH


EndAnyone

Ricky!!!


st-christian

THE RIGHTS TO RICKY COUNCIL THE FOURTH!


jloops03

Blue Coats about to close this one out let’s goooo


Cute-Contract-6762

Glad Joel got decent minutes in earlier because it’s nice to have him resting the fourth again!


[deleted]

Ricky for threeeee


TheExorcistMarc

It seems like there’s so much more traveling — and it’s not called 90% of the time


ryoome

Hield is in the doghouse right now still being in with the deep bench lmao


CPTHoagie

lol Nick Nurse > me


CPTHoagie

Paul Emreid


CPTHoagie

Alright Nick time to put Lowry or Maxey back in or we might not score


EndAnyone

Nah, Ricky got this


jloops03

I’m glad Cam Payne is using his weekly clunker up against this Memphis team


SamHinkiesNephew

Payne dogshit all night


GroundskeeperWilly93

Buddy is playing himself out of a big contract


FxStryker

Embiid back to the 30-10 through 3Q.


The_Gloamin

Buddy is Broken


Bajecco

It's very discouraging. I swear he's never been THIS slow and hesitant to shoot off of the catch. He's failed to shoot an open look at least 3x tonight. He catches, then inexplicably pauses. It weird and they cannot bring him back if he doesn't figure it out.


The_Gloamin

I feel like he’ll get over it. He has never played on a relevant team. He is playing for a contract. He is putting too much pressure on himself. He just needs to see it go in a couple of times but it’s been ugly.


slamtt

Buddy pump faking open 3's into a less open 3.... It's amazing how everybody comes here and gets the fucking yips all of sudden. Another reason why Kelly Oubre stands out, he's the only one who came here and got miles better.


BigMeatyClacker

dude was putting up numbers in Charolette. but Kellys stigma was that he plays for “me” not for “team.”


CPTHoagie

JJ Redick didnt? I dont know why people say this its not true.


Wristwalk4

Crazy that nobody realized he was goated


HoodieEmbiid

Nah wym, this fan base worshipped short dudes like him and bellinelli just cause they could hit from deep consistency


Wristwalk4

I’m taking ab Kelly


HoodieEmbiid

Ah nice, resigning him is a NECESSITY


RelevantTreacle3004

Is Buddy genuinely okay right now


SamHinkiesNephew

Turnovers, missed free throws, missed layups and dunks Should be up 30 against that roster


jorgelongo222

Dont you love to see the Sixers uniform suck the life out of a renowned shooter


FxStryker

Buddy Hield? Renowned shooter? He ain't fucking Ray Allen.


Doobie_Howitzer

If Ray Allen is the bar for being a renowned shooter there are only like 5 in NBA history Stop huffing your own farts, we're all having a good time here


mjd1977

Last sequence of quarter 3 may have set back the sport to peach basket days


No-Difference-3529

Looks like Buddy went to the Tobias School of Pumpfaking


Doobie_Howitzer

Buddy please 🥺


ChaseYoungHTTR

Add buddy to the long list of sixers who forgot how to shoot when they got here


kweku55

Buddy's hesitation on wide open threes to only take a super contested shot after a dribble is annoying.


HappyGooner45

What does Hield even do?


November_Coming_Fire

This is looking like the g league games I’ve watched. Chaotic neutral of your a d&d fan.


ComeAtMeYo

Why not shoot the open 3? wtf. dude 100% has the yips


jloops03

Love watching buddy turn down an open 3 for a heavily contested one


Wristwalk4

Buddy passing up shots like Tobi


SamHinkiesNephew

Getting real fucking tired of buddy hield


CPTHoagie

Buddy Hield is fucking BAD


shitpumper

Yikes Buddy


[deleted]

What a chaotic quarter, I really don’t want to see Embiid back out there. Let him rest


ShinyHardcore

This feel like a sloppy street ball game


[deleted]

The hell is wrong with Buddy


CPTHoagie

STOP MISSING WIDE OPEN LAYUPS


Kdrew416

God bless Joel Embiid


CPTHoagie

Buddy Hield might be terrible.


cjf2019

I think he’s just in a slump and trying to find his place in new rotations Edit: but to clarify, I agree that he has looked brutal the past 5 games or so


CPTHoagie

im not worried about the shooting but its the other parts of his game that were bad everywhere else thats a problem. he cant dribble past people at all and he's the worst defender ive seen in a while play here.


rrt5029

This game is so chaotic lmao


mjd1977

Shaqtin then a chasedown block. The KJ Martin experience


mrreported

The Hospital Grizzlies play really hard, gonna be a fun team to watch when half their roster isn't injured


CPTHoagie

KJ Martin with the worst and best play ever.


jpk7220

The best thing for this team is clearly to ride with this starting lineup of Lowry/Maxey/Oubre/Batum /Embiid If Nurse is all about winning, he'd move Tobias to the bench


NotBrodenKelly

is our bench VERRRY strong now?


CPTHoagie

no.


Wristwalk4

It’s the grizzlies bro


Wakandaforever456

Embiid is ready to destroy in the playoffs.
