2025-26 Sixers Thread

OG may have tweaked his hammy near the end of the game. Bears watching. But Clarkson “healed” his wrist a few months ago with some voodoo in the sideline!

They’re going to be wiping blood off the floor before long.

PG turns the ball over and stands rooted to the spot as the Knicks get a basket on the ensuing fast break, wow, that was bad bad bad.

Admittedly I'm the definition of a casual NBA fan (playoff watcher) but I'm very unimpressed with Embiid. I'm sure he's elite and all but the Sixers sure look better with him on the bench tonight.

I thought they might handle the Knicks. Boy was I wrong

He does disappear

Sixers have lots of issues but if Embiid isn't healthy enough to be out there he shouldn't be playing. He doesn't even look like he cares half the time. Again, only a casual NBA fan (watch playoffs) but hopefully he's not always this uninterested in putting in effort

I think that with Embiid looks are deceiving. I’ve thought the same, what you’re saying, but there’s a lot more there than meets the eye. It’s not just one thing, it’s everything, the way he carries himself, the fact that he seemingly can’t jump over a penny, the whole package. He also has a, perhaps unjustified, reputation as being the worst flopper in the league, or that’s the take I have.

That makes perfect sense--even watching him "attempting" to get back on defense just makes someone that doesn't watch him often think he's lazy. I haven't seen much flopping from him the playoffs (small sample size)--he complains a lot but so does everyone--literally everyone lol

Ugh, the wife’s watching Hallmark and I can’t connect to the game on my Kindle, just checked the score. Someone’s getting fired.

Might be a rare occasion where watching Hallmark is the better option. Knicks are shooting unreal but it's easy when you're wide open on 70% of your shots

Wizards get the first pick!

I like watching blowouts, that’s me.

They should rename themselves the New York Gorns.
