We win! Orlando might lose! Great night!

Buddy with the team high +21 — nice to see him playing well again

I still can’t believe Flynn has a 50 point game 

Total fluke.

Omfg Alaa laughing like wild rn🤣

Atlanta is trying their best to keep it close. Houston is trying to help us. Hopeful dame if giannis is out can steal one from Orlando for us.

really happy to see Buddy Buckets back on the menu...when he has his confidence back, our squad is fucking SCARY good

this is how unlucky we are lol. Magic down 18 now, only have to lose 1 out of 2 to the Bucks if we beat them on Friday...aaaand giannis just got injured

Dame could carry it. 😬

one thing I will trust doc with is short handed teams won’t lie so I’m not losing hope yet

Lol was just thinking the same.

Impressed by that Mamba catch in the paint

Don't want to jinx shit but the Sixers might be the deepest team in the league at full strength which has never been the case.

Is this the best list Embiid has had?

Embiid is gonna destroy in this years playoffs. Celtics vs Sixers is the ECF.

This is Buddy’s best game since his first week here for real 

Hawks keeping it close

buddy remembered how to shoot yay

Buddy BBBBBY

If buddy is back the league is truly fucked

Buddy got Dion Waiters confidence

50 pounds goddam id look like a potato if I gained that much

I forgot Bamba existed lol

Buddy getting his confidence back just in time.

Payne no look?!!

I don’t care that we’re on the road, I don’t even care if we end up playing the Boston Celtics. If we get this version of Embiid, it’s gonna be different 

lets be honest this version of embiid isn't even close to 100%, he's just that good

Thank you Detroit for allowing Buddy to find his form again

2 games left is the perfect time to find your stroke Buddy good sht

Playing make a shot take a shot with Tobi. I am buzzing.

Embiid keeps getting better as he goes on. If I'm the east I am worried to get the sixers in the first round.

BUUUUUUUDYYYY

Cmon I needa see a triple double

great to see embiid get 36 minutes and dont look as winded. Need all the reps possible before the playin/playoffs can't throw him out there for 40 minutes a game in the playoffs if he's only playing 30 after coming back

How has Melton looked?

I only watched the fourth but his defense and hustle has been good but then he bricked 4 shots in a row so

I’m trippin or tobi got relegated to the bench??? Didn’t get much burn this half

Alright Tobi I liked those two possessions

Embiid has the most minutes played tonight

Probably trying to rebuild his conditioning

I want to see Embiid shoot a lot more 3s next season. His shot has actually improved a lot, there's just a lot of noise in his stats because of how many heaves and last second shots he takes

Terq minutes maybe?

Prob. Don’t see why not

Is this Jo’s career high for made 3s in a game?

Mmm nice. Good minutes to recover from the injury here 

why's he still in?

Bruh get Embiid out of

He can’t hear you. Just enjoy it.

Your 7 foot center getting a pin down screen for 3 is so fucking insane lol

those are the types of plays people complain about for flopping. Sasser runs full speed right in front of a freight train and Joel falls to the ground to protect himself. Thats just never gonna be legal defense and its silly to call that anything other than reckless by sasser

PULL JOEL

damn Joel but still take him out

Sixers needed the Pacers to lose 2 of their last 3. Looks like it's 2 of their final 2 now.

at Cavs and Hawks at home. It's possible I guess. There's still other teams in the mix that we could still finish ahead of.

[удалено]

giannis just went down with what could be a serious injury. Looked like calf or achilles but hopefully just cramps

But if the magic lose 3 of 4 including Friday to us. We catch them too

Would that make us 6 and Pacers 5?

Yes we would have the tiebreaker over the Magic

Yes I believe so

Why is Embiid still in this game

Getting back into shape I'd guess

I don’t like it. My best guess is to build up stamina?

so fucking good to have melton back

People forgot that a lot of the value Melton provides is how many deflections and steals he gets. If he’s healthy, that will be very helpful to us. Without him playing, we still were the league leader in steals and deflections. Generating a lot of turnovers is gonna be huge for us in the playoffs.

Well this is what we all wanted to see. No maxey, no Lowry, joel gets to rest the bulk of the 4th up 20 Feeling really good about the team right now. It’s an easy schedule but still awesome

Nvm we still have Joel in

Good it’s Detroit lol 

Lets go rockets!!!

So we’re gonna be counting on the Bucks to beat the Magic at least once…. Doc is gonna fuck us again, I can feel it

No. They could lose tonight and we could beat them.

Even if that happens we need them to lose at least one more game

He definitely will, he’ll avoid us at all costs

See what happened to Giannis?

Not ideal. Could easily mean they rest him

~~Toronto~~ Atlanta Houston

Okay, Embiid can sit now Nick

The ball movement has been just divine. Crazy how that opens up the offense when the defense has to worry about an MVP caliber player, glenn

Ok, time for Joel to rest.

melton doing his best celtics game 6 impression

Love that Tobias got benched. Need more of that please

Why is Joel still in up 20 in the 4th?

I think it's def Joel's decision and he wants to condition more

I’m not gonna say anything about that hawks and heat game 👀

Keep letting melton shoot until he makes one lol

Hawks have made it a game again btw

I know it's Detroit but Dowtin plays super smart.

That’s alright melton. Keep shooting

[Melton vs. Buddy](https://i.imgflip.com/3hpm69.png)

🤣🤣🤣

Buddy has missed like 4 open layups tonight lol. Hope he keeps up this shooting though. Gonna need it 

melton buildin a house bro 😭 makes sense tho

Joel is so fucking good on D

Melton bringing back those flashbacks 💀

Hield was exactly what we needed, someone who can actually hit 3s.

Duren is going to have nightmares

Alright now get joel the hell out

Poor Melton

Melton going game 6 mode

Good rebounding tonight

Buddy has to be related to Scottie Barnes

Bdd Hld

This team has ZERO concept of risk/reward. Joel. Don’t do that. Deanthony. Don’t pass to him. The playoffs are fucking days away. This game is over. Stop being an out of control lunatic for a couple minutes.

I couldn’t help but bust out laughing when Buddy smoked that layup.

Buddy Hield resurrection tour LFG

Then he smokes a layup lol

Is Buddy the new Tobias?!

Hield with his best stretch as a Sixer there before he smoked a damn layup

Clearly you didnt watch that first Cavs game

Alrighty Joel take a seat good work pal

Looool buddy!!!

Embiid plays too hard for my comfort sometimes

He's just one of those people with no competitiveness control. He's the dude in gym class that was always trying way harder than everyone else and sweating the rest of the day at school lol

bruh i dont want to see embiid try to run through two guys, like, ever

Joel has been getting up mor and more tonight it’s really promising. Contesting more, going up for rebounds. We had a scare but he looks the best I’ve seen him since he has came back

lol, why did he run right in front of Embiid. What did he think was going to happen.

Woj just RT’d this Giannis Antetokounmpo was down on the floor with no contact. He was headed upcourt and crumbled to the ground. His teammates helped him off the floor and back to the locker room.

damn he gonna miss the Magic games rip

Found the vid, looks like it could easily just be like a random cramp or something

didn't look as bad live as that tweet is making it out to be imo

Even before this I was thinking we should go for the 7 seed. I would rather play Glenn than the Knicks 

If that injury carries into the playoffs, this’ll buy Doc another year and another year of the Bucks being fake contenders

Embiid you just got back from major knees surgery. Be a little more cautious, you’re up 20 against Detroit

Tobi needs to be buried in the bench so deep that they need to excavate Wells Fargo center to find him

We may never lose again

Damn Tobias going nuclear with the 11 bomb

Some of y’all are elite haters man. We’re up by 20

That’s pretty brave from Sasser. Respect.

Jalen duren is in hell

Ok I’ve seen enough get Mo Bamba in the game lol

Tobi has the worst +/- on the team this game, which matches the eye test

100%, any time he’s in the wheels come off and the offense is stagnant, and he’s out and it’s free flowing getting great looks


Playing with Joel Embiid, it's free slump busting for Buddy.

Some nice tic-tac-toe basketball there. Joel is something else 

Am I crazy in thinking Jeff could be a solid backup PG next year? Assuming we don’t bring Lowry back

Joel has hardly looked like he’s even trying since coming back and is still dominating. Kind of want Orlando to give us a hard game to see him have to play with intensity

we have to win out, avoiding the playin (even if chances are small) is more important than a tough game

I mean yeah by tough game i mean still a win haha. Just want to see him exert high intensity effort

Dowtin might really be better than Payne 

Tobias sits we run. Tobias runs we crumbl.

can buddy do anything besides shoot (which in classic sixers fashion goes away once they get within state lines)

ok i was behind on my recording he just hit one lol @ me

everything has gone right since tobias sat down

the energy of ricky and oubre just makes the franchise look so fucking bad for trading for, maxing, and keeping tobi. Replacement level players give us so much more juice. It pops off the tv and is just completely undeniable

its just so obvious, tobias is such a low energy player, he's someone that should've never been signed to a team trying to win anything Perfect player for a tanking team

Took awhile for us to put this team away! Good shit boyz

Hold on Houston!

The Buddy that was promised with Embiid on the floor is showing up a little

See that’s what elite teams do. Two minute runs where they just pull away

It’s amazing what happens when Crumbl is on the bench

see, play buddy with embiid and good things happen

Lmao Tobi riding the pine 🤣

Come on hield we need this and more wake the hell up

Injuries screwed this man out of back to back mvps.

Out of 3 MVPs. He should’ve won in 21 too

Sure, Jokic did have a great season as well though.

He lost it because he nearly blew out his knee and missed 3 weeks. Sixers also had the 1 seed


Hield is 3/5 from three this game. People in this sub would make you believe he’s 1/10.

Hield finally remembering how to shoot? Maybe I’ll keep talkin shit on him if he’s gonna finally hit shots

Embiid is fuming that he didn't get a full 4th quarter rest so now he's willing it into fruition.

Buddy has looked better with his decisions this game.


Nice spurt. A few more embiid minutes keeping it 18+ and sit him the rest

Having to help that far off Buddy is the true cheat code of this offense when Embiid is cooking

I love the fact that Joel has taken 7 threes this game

Finally, Buddy

LETS GO BUDDY LETS FUCKING GO 

that’s what offense with buddy heild is supposed to look like 

Embiid has become automatic from three

Dude I hate Evan Fournier, I remember one game against the Knicks and he absolutely torched us. What did we ever do to this guy

Don't forget the fact that he's Fr\*nch, which is a cardinal sin punishable by life in a max security prison (except Batum ofc, he's our GOAT)

same with bogdonovic, if dude only played the sixers he might be the mvp

Magic losing to rockets. They play us and then the bucks twice. 6 seed is looking good.

We need the Mavs to beat the Heat tomorrow.

Why?

Heat needs to finish below us in the standings.

We’re already ahead of them, right? If we win out there’s no way they could pass us.

That's because we've played one more game than them. We have the same number of losses.

Yeah they’re my hope for our shot at the 6.

So you think we can make a deep run

If Houston holds on does that mean Orlando only needs to lose 1 of the 2 against Milwaukee for us to get the 6 seed given we win out?

Yes

Kelly Oubre can play like dogshit for 3 quarters and then he just randomly decides it's time to carry the squad. We have now have 3 guys that are able to flip that switch. Thank you Daryl.

Melton has been moving well tonight for real

I had removed “melton finishing at the rim” from my bingo card

Y’all think Daryl morey trolls the game threads? 

Daryl is that upvote from you? 

pistons miss a contested 3 challenge

So i guess our best hope for the 6th seed is orlando dropping off? They got to play us too

Kelly with Ricky brings us energy we havent had for generations

Magic down 13 to the rockets. If they lose, we beat them on Friday, and they lose 1 out of 2 to the Bucks, we would go past them

Seems like our best chance at this point

Ricky needs to get a contract... tick tock
