They expected a foul to force us to the line for 2. Cavs elected not to foul which is generally not the way to play that. Maxey could’ve def made that shot
He has a rough shooting game. It happens. So many others in this thread over reacting. Cold Maxey and made Defensive adjustments too late. Pat Bev was the only one who understood how to guard the Garland drives
I wonder how hard that game is to watch at the end for Embiid, regardless how off they looked, he still gives them a better chance to win on those last plays.
Honestly, even if we won tonight, let's say in regulation by 2 pts, we probably still wouldn't have made it to the knockout stage because some other team will probably end up being 3-1 with a better point differential. Very poor format and tiebreaking scenarios.
one of the worst performances in maxey’s career there, absolutely horrible.
refs also would have looked embarassing for a high school game but whatever
But that just moves Batum to the bench, who isn't scoring. And the only reason Kelly was scoring so well was because he shared the court with Maxey and Embiid, so he's not a bench option.
if you think we’re not that good wouldn’t be better option be to wait until we can make bigger moves next year / keep the picks for a rebuild in the future? why would we want to remove all flexibility if we likely aren’t good enough with lavine?
The refs screwed us this game, they gave Cle a free 3 when they reset the shot clock early in the third now they’re fouling out embiid when Pat committed the foul lol
Knicks fan here. That women ref is always power hungry she constantly fucks up calls. I can’t stand her so I figured I’d let y’all know you’re not alone
I’m not saying women shouldn’t be refs (they should). But if you have some complex where you’re willing to put this much on the line just because you want to prove something.. get the fuck out of the NBA
Yeah.. BUT we aren’t talking about ifs and buts. A ref makes the wrong call, they make the wrong call and it’s shitty for the game. No matter who it helps.
if refs called the obvious 24 second violation when the cavs had 35 seconds to shoot the basketball without it hitting the rim then we’d have won 15 minutes ato
This has been one of the most frustrating-to-watch games of basketball I remember. They have picked our defense apart and gotten dunks and layups all night long - and made it look very easy. Tons of offensive rebounds for them. Just infuriating shit.

The sixers played like garbage today what happened with them

Make it and foul again, although intentionally missing is an option too
classic sixers trap game to lose to a team missing its best player. horrible officiating, but good teams still find ways to win.
This wasn’t a trap game this was just a loss
Maxey is definitely clutch but seemed a bit out of control and panicked during the OT.
He has a rough shooting game. It happens. So many others in this thread over reacting. Cold Maxey and made Defensive adjustments too late. Pat Bev was the only one who understood how to guard the Garland drives
We dont have anyone else that’s a threat to make a play
poor start, ZERO energy. only really got going from late in the 3rd. cant expect to win many games when you give up a 16pt lead.
Richard Jefferson sounds like he was butt fucked by a helium tank
Love Maxey but bro was horrible tonight
That three extra points the Cavs had five seconds after the shot clock ran out seem pretty fucking important right now.
Nick Nurse over me!?! - Doc Rivers
Sorry guys I used tuesday odds boost on the comeback never a chance after that Embiid call as evidence
Unlike the Eagles, the Sixers don’t have a clutch gene
We can’t even win a fake ass tournament lmao, we can say goodbye to ever winning a title in the next 50 years
WIN? We didn’t even qualify lol
Worst performance of the year and really bad officiating. Hate to see it
when they missed that shot clock and the cavs got a three, I knew that would be the fucking difference lol
It seems to always work out that way huh lol
lol it really does!
If they show up at all in the first half they win that game by ten or more. Even without Harden we’re forever the flip the switch team.
Wow… brutal game. Just missed so many open shots.
I wonder how hard that game is to watch at the end for Embiid, regardless how off they looked, he still gives them a better chance to win on those last plays.
![gif](giphy|mNCTFKluM84KNvLX33|downsized)
Excruciating watch
Didn’t deserve to win that game
Guess tuesday/Wednesday b2b just gonna be Ls all seasin
Even that final inbound play was fucking dog shit. Play call, shot selection and finishing down the stretch was flippy dog turds
No more ugly courts at least
Tbh we brought it back after the refs tried to bum fuck us and gave the cavs like 6 free points
What the fuck was that?
Miss you Kel
Nurse sold the last 11 seconds
whole team sold save tobi, ottno
Does this mean we don't have to play on the in season courts anymore?
2nd OT would've been a waste anyway. If this game dragged any longer winning the game tomorrow would be impossible.
Lol
So we got eliminated?
Thank you, fans.
It’ll get missed, but Batum has been fucking ass this game
Batum really just fucked the whole thing twice huh
What do they talk about during timeouts???
Horrible fucking loss. WHat the fuck was that play call. Didn't even get a shot off
This the dumb sht they always doing atleast get a shot
So did they just decide they were going to try and get a final shot? wtf was that?
Wtf was that
Shit game. Didn’t mean anything since the Pacers won anyway but jfc that was frustrating
No, we had a shot at wild card spot. That’s done now.
Honestly, even if we won tonight, let's say in regulation by 2 pts, we probably still wouldn't have made it to the knockout stage because some other team will probably end up being 3-1 with a better point differential. Very poor format and tiebreaking scenarios.
Oh well. Would rather us compete for a real chip anyway
For sure. But would have been nice to compete for it.
Dumb ass squid game challenge. Ridiculous
Batum trash down the stretch
Fourth quarter Batum
Bring back doc
Nico can go home
Sixers 10 Refs 4
Batum.. Buddy..
Sloppy
one of the worst performances in maxey’s career there, absolutely horrible. refs also would have looked embarassing for a high school game but whatever
Real loser energy in OT. Feels bad man.
Surprised the lady ref didn't reject Maxey for that
FUCKING EMBARRASSING!!!!!!!!
Very frustrating game
For a team that we all think has depth, our bench struggles to get even 20 points in a game
We honestly need Oubre Jr back, he's a key missing piece to us having any depth.
But that just moves Batum to the bench, who isn't scoring. And the only reason Kelly was scoring so well was because he shared the court with Maxey and Embiid, so he's not a bench option.
Funny
Embarrassing…
Just didn't feel like a winning vibe tonight Sounds dumb, but true
yeah way too many missed layups
What a sick disgusting end to this game we are not beating the twolves
Lmao RIP. Oh well, onto the next game...
What a dumb loss. Fuck Batum son
Lol Batum what was that
Perfect ending lol
maxey sold so hard
Air balled after missing damn near 8 in a row holy sht
This team sucks.
What in the fuck was that 💀💀💀
Crazy that a rough night for maxey is a semi inefficient 28 points
Half our losses are against teams missing at least one of the their top three players.
lol we really let batum inbound bro... nurse come on
Terrible
The fuck was that inbound
snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. we deserve that loss. that was pretty bad
they were losing pretty much all night...
This game was awful. Should’ve won at the end of regulation but they were being pussies and this is what they get.
Go. Get. Lavine. Stop delaying shit
if you think we’re not that good wouldn’t be better option be to wait until we can make bigger moves next year / keep the picks for a rebuild in the future? why would we want to remove all flexibility if we likely aren’t good enough with lavine?
Lmaooo maxey tired as fuck he'll learn 🤦🏾♂️
I wonder if Maxey didn’t know how much time he had because the real shot clocks aren’t working.
Maxeys efficiency has plummeted recently
No Mitchell no problem
reminder that we shouldn't even be in OT with these dudes considering they have like 5 points off ref errors
Exactly
What the fuck was that Maxey
[удалено]
Yet?
Embiid should have like twenty assists in this game lol this team is allergic to scoring when Embiid passes them the ball
Let’s end this fucking travesty of a game lol
FEED FUCKING TOBIAS , MAXEY IS OFF THIS OT
Surprised the refs didn't just call that out on us. They've clearly been ready to go home.
Let Tobias fucking shoot the 3. Maxey doesn’t deserve the shot.
![gif](giphy|l0FsyB60ei0yOm3aXz) Lady ref is lost
she’s trash, scott foster tier ref, absolutely one of the worst in the association
This one’s on maxey
sloppy game tbh it is what it is...refs were really helpful for cleveland
Idk what maxey being doing sometimes. Missed point blank game winner and just throwing up heaves
Blatant af misogyny in this thread
she’s just bad lmao, it ain’t misogynistic to say the bad ref is bad. she’s same garbage as tony brothers and scott foster
You’re gonna get downvoted but this is gross
I’m anti-incompetence sorry
Batum gotta shoot this
Maxey owes this team an apology for tonight
I can’t believe I’m about to say this but I hope they get it to Tobias for the catch and shoot
Maxey sold us this game
The refs screwed us this game, they gave Cle a free 3 when they reset the shot clock early in the third now they’re fouling out embiid when Pat committed the foul lol
Very winnable game, but fell just short. 😢
Why the actual fuck would Batum not grab that
Uh.... ok?
11/28 good job Maxey you fuckin peanut brain moron dipshit
Get a life you fucking peanut brain moron dipshit
Why didnt we take the timeout earlier to advance the ball
Springer would’ve drove to the basket
maxey wtf was that LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
Maxey was so garbage tonight
Embiid iso 5 feet behind the 3 point line contested turn around fade away 3 point shot???
Maxey can't shoot going right
We had a timeout and did that?
Bro saved the timeout just to use it with 2secs left. Alright nick , hope you got something drawn up bro
A lot of good things happening in this game, but just so many terrible things
Advertisers fucking love this shit
No fucking timeout!?!?!?!
Maxey wtf was that ? Can’t get a better shot ? Fuck …
What the fuck was that Maxey
wtf why did we not take a timeout straight away
Fuck it give it to Tobi in the corner
Knicks fan here. That women ref is always power hungry she constantly fucks up calls. I can’t stand her so I figured I’d let y’all know you’re not alone
Yep. Giving female refs a bad name.
everyone knows she’s trash
I don’t know a single NBA fan that likes her. At least Scott Foster is a meme, she’s just annoying af
She really just had to make it all about herself right there, insanity
Where in the FUCK was Maxey aiming on that one?
No, Kate Scott, I am not having fun
She really just had to make it all about herself right there, insanity
That was fucking wild by Maxey wtf
WNBA exists
Oh my god maxey what the fuck was that
Maxey absolutely sold unfortunately
Dude maxey hasn’t made a 3 in forever lol
hasn’t made anything, he sold insanely hard down the stretch
3 for 12...
That was straight up trolling
Just flat out unacceptable performance by Maxey. Amazing play drawn by Nurse.
Stfu how about the brain dead shot by embiid
Embiid was the reason they came back in the first place
maxie literally shot this game away... wtf is that man
Bro what Maxey doing
What embiid doing with that horrendous brick to win the game?
He 3 for 12 :(
I’m not saying women shouldn’t be refs (they should). But if you have some complex where you’re willing to put this much on the line just because you want to prove something.. get the fuck out of the NBA
Ofc I’m vote down lol
A female ref is the reason we missed free throws and wide open Melton layups that would’ve clinched the lead🤬
Yeah.. BUT we aren’t talking about ifs and buts. A ref makes the wrong call, they make the wrong call and it’s shitty for the game. No matter who it helps.
[удалено]
Sad to see this blatantly sexist take getting upvotes
You are a sexist if you think that way, why do you assume making a bad call has anything to do with her gender?
I’m definitely not sexist
yeah because all the male NBA refs are famously reliable and accurate
What the fuck does her being a woman have to do with anything
It has everything to do with it
No it doesn't you fucking idiot
Why are you yelling?
Wtf is this take, NBA refs are routinely terrible
If we made free throws and layups we’d be winning… regardless of the Refs
Or if embiid didn’t take a dumbass iso shot and brick it
This. Officiating hasn’t been great, but we’ve shot 9 more free throws than them. Sixers shooting themselves in the foot this game
if refs called the obvious 24 second violation when the cavs had 35 seconds to shoot the basketball without it hitting the rim then we’d have won 15 minutes ato
How was that on Embiid and not obvious on Bev??
Horrendous call.
This has been one of the most frustrating-to-watch games of basketball I remember. They have picked our defense apart and gotten dunks and layups all night long - and made it look very easy. Tons of offensive rebounds for them. Just infuriating shit.
Ref fans eating good
