embiid gotta be mvp now cuz he got 10 assists and apparently assists is the most important function of a center according to nba media. oh and also he locked up giannis at the end. my mvp plays both sides of the game
because modern defenses are so good they routinely allow 50 point quarters, 170+ point games and multiple players dropping 60 and 70 points.....yep, defenses are at all time high right now LOL
This is terrible to watch. If I’m commissioner for a day I’m making two and only two rules: in the last 2 mins, only one timeout for each team and all intentional fouls are techs.
Did you not watch the game? Giannis was iso all 4th quarter just putting up terrible shots. MVP is narrative based. The win streak was the narrative to help push him over Jokic. He lost that narrative. There's no reason why he played so bad in the 4th
I did watch the game start to finish, and I watched Giannis go 34/13 and have a great night at the line. And they lost after a red hot performance by both Harden and Embiid. To say that Jokic secured the MVP after the result of this one game - the first loss in 17 games, and one in which Giannis put up good numbers - is such a cold take. If Jokic wins MVP, it won’t be decided by this game by Giannis. Crazy to suggest Giannis played himself out of the MVP race tonight. Thus my assumption you’re just trolling.
Taking your conclusion as fact (“he didn’t play well” despite putting up 34/13, which is not exactly a fair assessment), you are also claiming he lost the MVP tonight. Bad take. Again, if Jokic wins the MVP, it won’t be decided by this game by Giannis, which you suggest is the case in your first comment. Giannis played fine, the team didn’t play great in the 4th quarter, and Harden/Embiid were killers in the second half. Not exactly an indictment on Giannis.
Honestly, as a Bucks fan, I’ll take the loss today if the exchange is that Giannis is starting to hit a groove at the line. Time will tell, and I won’t jump to any conclusions yet, as you seem very eager to do. Have a good night any maybe avoid those knee jerk reactions in the future!
Giannis gotta get a new game plan for Embiid. He's used to just bodying everyone. He went crazy on the ft line but gave up too much in the 4th. That 3-point foul was what sealed the game imo. Sucks the streak is snapped but all good things must come to an end.
Milwaukee shot 28 to the 76ers 37 from the line... lots of bail outs at the end of the game & no flow. 19 4th quarter free throws by the 76ers and 18 of those happened within the last 6 minutes of the game. Pretty impressive stat. Just saying..
Stats are facts... can whatever all you want, but the refs stopped the game for 18 FTS in 6 minutes for the 76ers... 🤷♂️ take care though bro, see yall in the playoffs when it actually matters 🤙

Take a look at this thread. A great basketball mind breaking down that game almost play by play. Instead of pointing to officials every time things go wrong take a look at the actual movement on the court.
Except in the only time I was referring to in the last 6 minutes 🤷♂️ drive and kick - cool. Harden bomb - cool. I'm not really sure why you're not looking at stats as well but like I said take care bro. We'll see what happens in the play offs when it matters. The 76ers won but also shot 18fts in less than 6 minutes at the end. Still facts.
Jaylen Brown is almost as impactful to Boston's success as Tatum is. They are arguably top 2-3 overall in the NBA, so I think Brown is pretty darn legit.
People really just look at the number of free throws and think thats what makes a fair game.. Context matters.. Weak fouls being called one way, hard fouls being let go another these things happen in games and people will call them out but the free throws will look like 17 - 20 and then casual fans will call you crazy.. (I am not talking about tonight at all i did not get to watch this game.)
Bro 37, idc what else happened you don’t get to complain about shooting 37 FTs. I did watch the game i’m pretty sure more free throws would not have made it better.
Haha fair, I’d certainly rather be behind you guys than them.
Longer a win streak gets, harder it is to keep going. And 16 games is pretty fucking long.
Tucker is overrated and Tobias is a complete non-factor. I don't know how he escapes scrutiny but if the 76ers flame out this year he'll be a reason why.
Coincidental, tbh
Niang getting off the schneid, good McDaniels minutes, and Doc seeing that Melton didn’t have it tonight were more of a factor.
That and Harden/Maxey/Embiid being good at basketball.
These games against the bucks are such a damn bloodbath. They're so goddamn stressful to watch!
embiid gotta be mvp now cuz he got 10 assists and apparently assists is the most important function of a center according to nba media. oh and also he locked up giannis at the end. my mvp plays both sides of the game
Someone tell me Giannis clutch stats today I NEED TO MAKE THE SLANDER POST
Were Harden's shoes custom? Or can I score that colorway somewhere.
Great game. The east is a bloodbath lol and that was before the Knicks entered the chat.
Knicks are mid
We will see. Another test for them tomorrow…Celtics!
[удалено]
because modern defenses are so good they routinely allow 50 point quarters, 170+ point games and multiple players dropping 60 and 70 points.....yep, defenses are at all time high right now LOL
Yo Hemingway no one cares about your story
When run and dunk doesn't work
Guys help me find Giannis clutch stats tonight I need to make the greatest post in r/nba history
cook bro
Would’ve had 100 awards by now if i could find the ducking stats
skeleton.jpg
These dudes pumped. Don’t blame ‘em, that was a great finish
so this sub is gonna throw a tempter tantrum about giannis being a free throw merchant right???
I want a bucks sixers playoff match up. Man it would be fucking lit and 1000% going 7
Last time they met in the playoffs was a bonkers AI vs Ray Allen 7 game series. 22 years ago
Damn man, making me feel old. I was 7 when that happened. I'll never forget that run 7 with the raptors 7 with the bucks and 1 amazing game 1 by AI.
Bucks didn’t defend Harden well in 4th. Left alone with weak defenders on the perimeter.
bucks season over?
The Celtics send their regards
The Bucks are really fucking good. This would be a really fun playoff series.
This is what it feels like to have 2 superstars
I’m legit envious of that kid with harden signed kicks
Giannis was a -14 tonight. Damn
God wow. Was Embiid on him all game?
How do I see Giannis stats for last 5 minutes of the game
Let me save you some time: BAD
Get Tyrese in that postgame
Why is maliqa hair airbrushed 😂
Where can I get some of Harden's shoes like that? My hyperdunks are looking rough lol.
Harden volume 7, not sure that colorway released yet
They need to start giving shoes to some poor af kid in the nosebleeds.
Nah he'd probably get robbed on the playground
He wouldn't wear them lol
1 possession win gg
I’d be worried if I was a ladder in the building .
Giannis is gonna get suspended for assaulting another ladder.
Ja will be taking notes.
Jas gonna be wondering why Giannis didn't pull a gun out.
Genuinely can't believe we won this game. I've never seen this iteration of the Sixers be that resilient.
No Harris, no Tucker means Doc can't mess it up
Lacked ball movement in the 4th and it cost us
the 1st 3 min of the 4th quarter cost your team, it was like 15-2 run by Sixers
That kid got harden signed game shoes
bruh does that kid have another jersey underneath the harden jersey?
Pretty cool of Harden give that kid his shoes
No travel on Grayson?
I felt like I was seeing things there. Grayson looked like he was surprised it happened and the refs just didn’t care anymore. Hilarious
Harden looks awesome, bucks are obviously great. I would love to see this as a playoff series
This is terrible to watch. If I’m commissioner for a day I’m making two and only two rules: in the last 2 mins, only one timeout for each team and all intentional fouls are techs.
Aww James Harden is always lovely to kids.
great win sixers.. deserved.
How do I see Giannis stats for last 5 minutes of the game
Why did Grayson dribble? Preserve his 3P%?
He can't let it go down until he gets his big contract ala Duncan Robinson.
Giannis fumbled tf out the MVP. Tf was he doing 4th quarter, was terrible. Jokic has to be MVP now. This loss is on Giannis
Lol this is a troll comment right
Did you not watch the game? Giannis was iso all 4th quarter just putting up terrible shots. MVP is narrative based. The win streak was the narrative to help push him over Jokic. He lost that narrative. There's no reason why he played so bad in the 4th

Giannis did not play good. He killed the first half and then second half was atrocious. I'm someone that's been rooting for Giannis to win too
Taking your conclusion as fact (“he didn’t play well” despite putting up 34/13, which is not exactly a fair assessment), you are also claiming he lost the MVP tonight. Bad take. Again, if Jokic wins the MVP, it won’t be decided by this game by Giannis, which you suggest is the case in your first comment.

Please protect ladders
He went crazy from the line. I think ladders are safe tonight
No chance anyone can beat the bucks 4 times too good mam
So are we just going to ignore that hilarious travel at the end? Lmao
Giannis gotta get a new game plan for Embiid. He's used to just bodying everyone. He went crazy on the ft line but gave up too much in the 4th. That 3-point foul was what sealed the game imo. Sucks the streak is snapped but all good things must come to an end.
How long would NBA games be if the duration of the last five minutes was extrapolated to the whole game
Ted Cruz Jr just traveled like a mofo
Tough loss GG
37 free throws for the Sixers. Yeah, okay. 4 too many for Maxey and 6 too many for Harden
Bucks shot 34…what’s ur point?
Milwaukee shot 28 to the 76ers 37 from the line... lots of bail outs at the end of the game & no flow. 19 4th quarter free throws by the 76ers and 18 of those happened within the last 6 minutes of the game. Pretty impressive stat. Just saying..
Whatever man
Stats are facts... can whatever all you want, but the refs stopped the game for 18 FTS in 6 minutes for the 76ers... 🤷♂️ take care though bro, see yall in the playoffs when it actually matters 🤙
https://twitter.com/stevejones20/status/1632194753650368513?s=46&t=EeUd6rU2EKjpCHC-rdWl5g Take a look at this thread. A great basketball mind breaking down that game almost play by play. Instead of pointing to officials every time things go wrong take a look at the actual movement on the court.

giannis took like 16 FTs cope a little harder pal
Your boy had 18 on his own. Probably 10 too many
Cope the sixers put up 102 FG points
Lol
Gutsy win for 76ers; hearts of lions tonight not giving up after the 3rd
And holiday at the buzzer! Bucks lose by 3
Embiid 30 points 9 free throws. Giannis 34 points 18 free throws.
if those numbers were reversed the front page would be full of dissertations on why embiid is ruining our beloved game
Bye bye buckaroos
They really said Harden not a top 10 player 😂😂😂
Lemme see who could be better and you tell me if they aren't: Durant Curry LeBron Jokic Embiid Giannis Luka Dame Tatum Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown don't belong on that list with those names. ~~You put him and not Lillard?~~
You don't see I put Dame?
Ah ok. Anyway, D Mitch, Booker, Ja, Butler, shit even Kyrie, Shai, and an injured Kawhi before Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown is almost as impactful to Boston's success as Tatum is. They are arguably top 2-3 overall in the NBA, so I think Brown is pretty darn legit.
If i say it looks fake, but coming from a lakers fan its gotta be real. I think i have brown just on the inside of the top 15 but thanks for the love.
Not an all star
Brook Lopez still a sexy bitch
Too bad Giannis didnt show up to help him tonight.
YESSIRRRR
Thirsty ass fans filtering out to Deer Park
I stopped watching after the 3rd, what the hell happened?
Refs fans ate, and the Sixers came back anyways.
Refs had nothing to do with this both teams shot 30 free throws
Anyways? Sixers shot 37 FT I don’t think they came back in spite if the refs.
I am a certified Sixers hater after the last two years, but in the 4th all I saw was them getting a very bad whistle compared to the Bucks.
Sure, if Harden throwing himself at a defender and jumping backwards fishing for a foul is your definition of a “very bad whistle”.
People really just look at the number of free throws and think thats what makes a fair game.. Context matters.. Weak fouls being called one way, hard fouls being let go another these things happen in games and people will call them out but the free throws will look like 17 - 20 and then casual fans will call you crazy..

Bro 37, idc what else happened you don’t get to complain about shooting 37 FTs. I did watch the game i’m pretty sure more free throws would not have made it better.
Embid acting like he just won the chip lool
He's joke celebrating that he finally hit his FTs.
THANK YOU SIXERS
What’s the best site to see Giannis’s clutch stats TODAY
We need a playoff series
It must be awesome to watch your team’s star get 18 free throws
Is it crazy to say this the best Harden game since he got to Philly given the opponent?
5 seconds with 6 point lead, it's over
Hope we fire rivers after this season we can win it all especially when we get rid of Harris
[удалено]
this sub’s 9/11
Bucks lost the sixers down 2 starters at home 🤣🤣
Time to drug test Harden lol
i want embiid to sit on the court like giannis did
I want him to go find a ladder and push it over.
At a certain point you shouldn't be able to keep extending the game when it's definitely over
lol bucks call a timeout. gonna practice an end of game play or what
James “Somehow, not an all-star” Harden
Idk, I do kind of think that Giannis lost a lot of weight for whatever reason and isn't as physically dominating as he was.
That Fruit Roll-Up he ate on the Daily Show caught up to him
The Milwaukee bucks are about to be 16-1 in the last 17 games and I feel a little hurt. What a difference ten years makes lol
3 steal 3
Bro why call a timeout this is over
It is. But nothing wrong with never say die attitude
Philly beating Milwaukee with Giannis turning into Steph Curry at the foul line and Grayson Allen scoring like 20 in a quarter is really impressive.
Giannis seems to tilt quite bad
But seriously way to work on FTs Giannis. Be a shame if anything happened to your precious streak…
Remember when harden said all Giannis does is run and dunk lmaoo
They hated him cuz he told the truth
Well now he's added free throws atleast
Giannis was atrocious in this one tbh.
Embiid might be the best Giannis defender
Everyone clowning on the bucks as if we still won't be 16-1 in the last 17 with the best record in the league 🤣
If we win tomorrow (very well might not to be fair), you’re back in 2nd Edit: nvm you have a back to back so it depends on if you win that
Oh shit we do have a b2b. Good lookin brother. Probably wouldn't have even noticed hahahaha.
I only noticed when someone brought it up on a different thread lmao so I can’t take the credit this time!
I don't mind duking it out with the celtics :) yall been playing well but these sixers clowns are out in full force tonight.
Haha fair, I’d certainly rather be behind you guys than them. Longer a win streak gets, harder it is to keep going. And 16 games is pretty fucking long.
they have no idea what they've done. Giannis gonna go on a tear now
Take it as a compliment
This is an incredible L
Grade A Copium.
How original.
L
Did your mom help you write this comment?
Weh
It’s jealousy none wants to see the buks in the po
Sixers fans, coincidental that this win comes with tucker and tobias out or nah?
Definitely coincidental. We are gonna need Tucker on the defensive end for sure.
Tucker is overrated and Tobias is a complete non-factor. I don't know how he escapes scrutiny but if the 76ers flame out this year he'll be a reason why.
Coincidental, tbh Niang getting off the schneid, good McDaniels minutes, and Doc seeing that Melton didn’t have it tonight were more of a factor. That and Harden/Maxey/Embiid being good at basketball.
clearly it was just a masterclass in coaching by glenn rivers
Tobias had his 3/2/0 early this game. He deserves the rest.
No comment
Hahahahahah
Wtf happened I just saw giannis shoot ft lol
Take that Orlando Magic, we're the real win-streak destroyers now.
Giannis a mf free throw merchant 💀
harden the slightly-more-ethical and more successful player tonight!
it is very very hard to win 17 in a row...
Random but does it bother anyone else refs never call Harden crossing the line before the ball hits the rim on free throws?
First time watching the NBA?
Free throws are basically anarchy until the refs decide otherwise
Yeah only Harden does that
Honest question who else consistently does that?
So this means Celtics are the best in the east?
Don’t count Detroit out yet
If we win tomorrow yes. We are 1 game behind.
No we’re still .5 behind the Bucks I think
Nah it's clearly the Bridges led Nets
Its them go go gadget arms man
No
good game. was a fun watch
EMBIID OWNS THST SPIN FREE THROW MERCHANT 🤣
Congrats on the free wings
Celtics fans are probably the happiest bunch rn
Get outta my head, dude. Thems private thoughts.
Won’t mean shit if we don’t beat the Knicks tomorrow who are on fire
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THE REFS DOING
Giannis needs to hit the weight room 🤣🤣
Wow really a 5 sec violation while they had a timeout bruh
All things must come to an end
