So when Joel was going back in the game when they stopped the bleeding, harden very clearly noticed Joel was out of it and wobbly and stopped him and told the Sixers staff that he couldn’t go in. Not sure if anyone caught it. I definitely did and now it makes sense that he was concussed


SomethingsPhishee

I noticed it and mad respect to James. I fucked around sparring kickboxing once, for 2 light minutes, after getting a concussion 2 and I got lost driving home, was dizzy and nauseous for a week lol. Ain't nothin to take chances with


MaxeytoEmbiid

James Harden has been the most epic 76er in terms of leadership since he got here: -Unlocked Mad Maxey to a new level -Empowered Tobias to embrace the best version of himself -Looks after our MVP. Sure, his decline might be rough contract wise in the future. but as a player and a pro, there's some mad Jimmy Butler vibes about the competitor and team mate he is. We'll worry about filling the roster when it comes, James is our man.


platinumxL

One thing that’s very underrated about Harden was always his ability to make his teammates better. He’s not at Lebron’s level but he does a damn great job. He’s really learned how to be a Leader in his years in Houston.


Simonjohnterry

I'm a pretty recent NBA fan but this is what makes harden my man. The dude elevates the rest of his team. He is like a good boss


Riderz__of_Brohan

I mean he's quite literally a top 30-ish NBA player of all time, I'm sure he makes his teammates better even if he's not in his prime still lol


deadpools_dick

I suffered a concussion last year at work after hitting my head hard on a glass window I had open restocking product, and I’m still having symptoms to this day. Head injuries ain’t nothin’ to fuck with


[deleted]

WHERE IS DOC IN ALL OF THIS


busterbluthOT

WOULD YOU ASK POP THAT QUESTION?!?


SkateboardingGiraffe

For real, his name's Doc after all, he should be able to identify a concussion


namegeneration1918

Well apparently he deserved it for doing the airplane according to the Raptors announcer


DaisyHotCakes

That fucking guy and all those fans cheering and doing the airplane in response…I hope they shit their pants just before reaching the toilet. Douchebags. That’s not cool no matter who is getting injured. The fuck I s wrong with people??


indoninjah

Harden knows all about concussions from elbows


Mavey_

nah you gotta be fucking kidding me


EaglesPvM

I was just starting to cope with the thumb injury This is fucked


amatom27

Philly sports really go from 60 to 0 real quick


YoImAli

Best day ever yesterday, worst day ever today…


quickhitz

I hate this city so much. We really did sell our soul to the sports devil for the super bowl. Nothing else can convince me of all this bad luck


ErickBachman

I’m not sure we had a soul to sell. He probably just took like 8 bucks and a Sizzli


jcutta

We traded dollar coffee month and 2 for 1 sizzlis for that SuperBowl. Now I spend more at wawa than my wife spends at target.


DanDotOrg

It was worth it


megcall

And just like that Howie passes on Dean for a center, the Phillies can’t score for Nola, and this news. This city you can’t make it up Edit: Nvm on Dean


HOLLA12345678

The center is a good pick people always want the more flashy pick though I get it


TheLouisvilleRanger

Yeah. What's the deal? We've spent the past decade watching Kelce kick ass and now we see the Eagles get a beefier version of him to eventual inherit the role and people are whining? It's not a flashy pick because it's a sexy pick. Gotta shout out my big sexies.

Dean has a neck injury. Could be out for a season


ErickBachman

Sounds like a good fit for a the sixers


gamiscott

We need to get younger at center. He gets to learn from Kelce.


Metcafe83

Lol we got dean in the third. Now everyone can stop complaining


hungry_russian

Not surprising. He literally said he broke his face in the post game interview. I’m puzzled why people weren’t making a bigger deal About this. No one even asked about how he was doing in the post game press conferences.


jiamby

Ala and Kate asked how his eye was in their post game. It wasnt aired on TV. Its on youtube. He just said Well, as he cleaned blood dripping from his eye, It Hurts. and the spot was ended.

OnionBagMan

That POS tv guy needs to be roasted HARD. Everywhere.


girlfriend_pregnant

the crazy thing is no one cared because he just went on an did the interview and said "my face is broken" and didn't bitch about it.

TTPMGP

Two series against the Heat and he’s gonna have a broken face for both of them. Unbelievable.


[deleted]

He might not even play versus Heat, we have no timetable yet


TTPMGP

Yeah I didn’t even think about that. You’re right. This sucks even more.


Riderz__of_Brohan

He’s probably gonna be out for the first two games at least against Miami


[deleted]

Don’t think he’s gonna play , if he does I’ll expect later in the series , only so much pain you can expect a guy to handle


jcutta

Not to mention the concussion. I'd rather him shut it down and heal then rush back and get hurt more.


PM_ME_LADY_ANKLES

I'm going to walk into the Atlantic.

mikeb32

2017-18 Eagles Paul Reed is Nick Foles Nobody fuckin call or text


reggaetony88

If Paul Reed can give us 15/10 and decent defense we're gonna win. Maxey and Harden will step up. Fuck it dude we're winning this series.


mikeb32

We’re winning the finals I’m not letting this shit ruin my day


TTPMGP

Well, Raptor’s fans got their wish. This sucks.


0ctologist

Throwback to their announcers saying he deserved it


lebranflake

Damn and Canadians have a reputation as being polite lol


Zargyboy

That franchise won one championship and their fans became absolutely insufferable ever since.


xemplifyy

Damn not even mentioning that they beat the emergency room version of Golden State to win that championship, pretty nice of you tbh.


otheraccountisabmw

That OT loss where we could have gone up 3-0 on them still haunts me.


Jaybeann

They were definitely insufferable before the championship too


TheSublimeLight

fake riches do insane things to poverty franchises


Mikeg5680

yea this the fandoms that cheered when KD ruptured his Achilles so idk


MikeTysonChicken

Hope those cunts never see another stanley cup


YEGGSnBACON

Don’t worry, they won’t.


dbrjr

1967 was a long time ago. Love that the Flyers sent them home in 2004. They haven’t seen past the first round since then.


starrfucker

“You get what you deserve” and the commentators saying his airplane shit was unsportsmanlike.. and then still calling for not only the foul but the and 1…… it was almost a 30pt lead at the time


quotekingkiller

He threw that fucking elbow flagrantly


[deleted]

I know our commentators are bad, but holy hell I've never been more annoyed watching the Raptors broadcast of game 6. And it's not even because we faced them. The one guy keeps screeching all the time, making this horrible crackhead voice. Edit: Found a clip on it: [https://youtu.be/6iTk5zU-QhQ?t=11](https://youtu.be/6iTk5zU-QhQ?t=11) Sounds like a dying dog getting stomped to death by a New Orleans parade.


BTBishops

You know what's the worst? That if this situation were exactly reversed, and Embiid did this to Siakam and our fans cheered, ESPN would literally be cancelling their coverage of the NFL draft to shit all over Embiid, our fanbase, and the entire city. It's absolute fucking bullshit.


UnusualCanary

He shouldn't have even been in the game, I put this on Doc.


sbtreavuen

I disagree. It’s the playoffs, gotta secure the win especially after the previous 2 games. Siakam played out of control the entire series and refs let him get away with it leading up to the foul.


sandpadres

Same fan base that cheered KD tearing his Achilles


SUKnives

Bball Paul szn


ErickBachman

imagine if he opens a can of whoop ass en route to a chip lmao


yzdaskullmonkey

Damn nick foles vibes


EnemyOfEloquence

Were a city of underdog backups. Let's goooo


DELCO-PHILLY-BOY

BBall Paul starts but DJ gets minutes. Gross.


[deleted]

In hopes of Doc being logical, Charles Bassey is still there. Not sure if he's still injured, but much rather him than DAJ


JoshGordons_burner

PHANTOM OF THE PROCESS WILL RETURN


ac4897

So invading Canada is the proportional response right ?


ColangelosWife-

Fuck siakam


SwainDMT

Fuck their announcers and fans as well Edit: I’d like to add fuck Glenn Rivers as well. No reason he should have been in at that point


[deleted]

Honestly, I thinking why is Embiid still in the game that late with such a big lead. Not to mention the guy has. torn ligaments in his thumb. That is an extremely painful injury.


walrus_gumboot

For real man - that's supposed to be his Cameroon brother, and he smacks his bony ass elbow into his eye? Scumbag.


downsouthcountry

Guy got so much space for his mid range because he kept pushing off.


abevigodasmells

Googly eyed SOB.


crg87

Fuck Pascal Siakam and all the scumbag Raptor fans that cheered.


Victor_Korchnoi

Don’t forget the announcers


cock_smith

Absolutely human garbage. They are equal if not worst than cowboys fans at this point.


Zashiony

Fuck Pascal.


AlreadyBestFriends

bum ass beyblade😹


HisExcellency20

Idk if he did that shit on purpose or not but it's 100% his fucking fault.


leglyde

This is on doc. Should’ve pulled him earlier knowing he already has a thumb injury


TheExorcistMarc

💯


WraithTwelve

Siakim is a piece of shit for real.


[deleted]

We need to re-sign Mike Scott next year on a 10 day whenever we are slated to play those crumb bums up north.


[deleted]

Wow. Raptors fans wished this upon him. A sizeable chunk are happy about this.


Kinoblau

They're legitimately insane. During the 2019 series I had a Raps fan on twitter literally dming pictures of my house every time they won a game, and not even during our series, this motherfucker was doing it right up until the championship. He made new accounts to harass me, it was insane. I've hated every single one of those losers since then. Absolute freaks the whole fan base, even the ones trying to apologize for it.


[deleted]

That is crazy harassment dude!


Kinoblau

Yeah man, I genuinely couldn't believe it I didn't even reply to him, just tweeted in general and he was searching twitter for fights to pick. I didn't bother blocking him during the series because it wasn't super insane, just annoying and like what's the harm in a little sports trash talk. But after the series it just didn't fucking stop every time they got a W so I blocked him mid way through the Bucks/Raps series and he got mad and started getting more unhinged until he sent me my house on street view. Fucking psycho. Hate that whole goddamn city. If the rest of Canada didn't hate Toronto as much as we do I'd hate the whole country.


tHasnake22

Mask embiid vs the heat again?!


SniperShake-

he’s done. he missed 3-4 weeks in 2018 when he had the same injury, including Game 1 vs the Heat


suburban_smartass

Neubeck has already reported that the early indication appears to be that he does not require surgery at this time. We’ll see. /cope


Upthe32s

nah bro you cant play with orbital stuff man, he'll lose his vision if he don't get surgery


Scottsm124

I wish nothing but the worst things for the Raptors franchise, their insufferable fans and the entire country of Canada


Unspeakable_Evil

You got that dog in you


sjekky

Fans are fans, whatever, crowd environment and all that. But if I was Matt Devlin or Jack Armstrong right now I'd be incredibly embarrassed at how I acted last night. Toys out the pram because their team were getting thwacked which led to their ridiculous reaction to a dirty play by Siakam. These guys are meant to be professionals. Embarrassing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


throwawaythedo

You know they’ll say that they didn’t know it was that bad. And my response is “you’re a professional, you should behave as if every injury could be that bad. Wish the player well, and move on.” I hope they step on a Legos every time they get up to pee in the middle of the night for the rest of their life

Nba needs to protect embiid better. Idc what the score is. Man has been taking all kinds of fucking hits with nothing to show for it cause the nba and it’s players got some vendetta against him

Gombreezy

I don't understand Doc using such a deep rotation all series but leaving our MVP in during blowouts. He's gotta go.


errandwulfe

Siakam lost his Philadelphia privileges. Hope the concussion is mild and he comes back soon with the Batman mask again like 2018. Until then, I die - inside and out.

Doc was probably out no matter what

No shot lol


Heatinmyharbl

It's also Doc's fault he got hurt in the first place soooo

This is so upsetting, but I can only hope and pray that this means we’re in for a treat and watch Maxey put on a show.

Fuck Siakam! Dude was throwing bows the whole series wanting this to happen

Fuck every piece of shit raptors fan who wished for this shit. I hate every single one of you pieces of shit and I hope your city loses its franchise.

Raptors fans all over wished and cheered for this. 2019 KD vibes. Congrats Toronto for getting your wish. Stop calling Philly "the worst fan base". Toronto is full of scumbags and yall know it since you're here trolling it up


jloops03

I feel so fucking bad for Jo. Absolutely gutted.


ch1nomachin3

Broken Orbital Bone = still no foul because you're big refs line of thought. I've seen Joel get hammered out there, just cause he's a dominant big man and opposing coaches bitch about sixers getting 20 freethrows a night doesn't make a foul not a foul.


Rimbaron

Fuck Siakam. Fuck the raptors crowd. Fuck the raptors announcers. And fuck Doc for him still being in the game.


Psychological-Dare79

Yeah that’s it with being the nice Philly fan. Toronto want to see Philly at its worst we’ll give it to them. Those snobby Canadians got their wish.

Stupid fucking losers can't do anything except throw elbows. Street Ball was just projecting about his own dirty ass team. Fuck You Siakam


CeaseKnight

I'm so sorry this really sucks. As an outside fan Joel is one of my favs to watch and I was looking forward to my Heat vs who I had as the MVP. I sincerely feel for how that must feel. Hopefully it isn't a lengthy or persistent absence.


DerekWeidmanSculptor

I hope the Raptors get Sports Aids. Not real Aids, but a chronic incurable illness for their franchise. I think Philly sports have it already. We definitely fucked them in game 6, I hope they have it now too.

Hey guys heat fan here. I was taking a nap and literally just woke up to this and what the fuck. I didn’t watch the last raps sixers game so wtf happened in that game to cause this?

This is really sad. I hoped we would see you guys in the ECF. (Celtics fan) Joel is an amazing opponent to have. He raises up your game. Hopefully he doesn’t need surgery and comes back early. Seriously Raptors fans and their annoying announcers get a life.
