He tried to foul early and kinda whiffed then should let Bron go but had a brain fart

Love had that tip!

liking this team "the philadelphia 76ers"

lol greg monroe triple double in the house

13 straight wins for the sixers, 3 seed, might be a legit team not sure

lebron had a hilarious carry earlier

the sixers floor logo looked awful tonight lol

Philly First round first home game is gonna be like warriors 07 oracle game 3 vs Dallas

pacers starters scored 18 points tonight lol

Blew their wad on the dubs

Sixers are real I’m a Simmons believer now (previously thought he would be very good but maybe hampered by his shot turns out he’s a creative weirdo so it may not be an issue for a while)

They’ll get bounced in the second round because young sloppy teams do but that’s huge progress

Man if minny loses this game yikes. Currently down 11 in the 2nd.
And uh what’s going on with this fans only broadcast on nbatv lmao

cursed broadcast

It’s so awkward idgi

So good to see Jimmy back

the wolves comfort blanket

whoa Mirotic shaved!

lol wtf

aw they let a child meet the players and pretend to be on the team, thats cute

dropped 31-16 w that new baby face maybe not such a bad move

more aerodynamic, he's probably a lot faster on headfakes and doesnt get his jumper caught on the ol chinduster anymore

amazing to think what james harden could be

I really wish we had the technology to clone Jimmy Butler's brain then transplant the cloned brain into Wiggin's head.

well...maybe not if they play the celtics

another half empty rockets stadium lol

okc gameplan apparently is ‘steven adams iso’

3 games left tonight w/ massive western playoff implications

dang manu channelling 2005 over here

he can still do that #grandpajuice

Starting to wonder if the dubs will make it past the first round.

kawhi shd come back for the offs

bold stance

brainstorming is my forte

looks like either kawhi is enjoying not playing far too much and will take as much time off as he can. or else (less likely, but not impossible) he has been infected by Fear of The Comeback.

ugh other than winning their own game, which was mandatory, all the other games tonight turned out bad for the nuggets

3 games separate 3rd and 9th in the west with... 3 games to go

what happens if 0 games separate them with 0 games to go

rock paper scissors

statistical analysis of social media accounts and the most passive aggressive team is in

blazers are already in though

nba history

Charles Barkley's beef with Charles Oakley includes:
- a mean playoff sweep
- a preseason brawl
- multiple face slaps

Wow it's weird to see Barkley that skinny

Really accentuates the fatness of his head

ben simmons continues to be a teen movie villain

When asked if his fellow rookies forgot about him...

There is, however, one player who's developed a reputation for duping defenders with his body language—so much so that he was singled out by Barnes, former player Caron Butler and also Mavericks rookie Dennis Smith Jr.

"Any time Manu puts his hands on his knees, he's getting the ball," Smith said, referring to San Antonio Spurs veteran Manu Ginobili.

Said Butler: "Manu is the king of that. He always puts his hands on his knees and acts like he's out of the play, and that's almost always followed by a cut and him getting the ball."

And then there are players like Sixers rookie Ben Simmons, who acknowledged not caring for treaties made between opponents.

"You should be playing hard every time you step on the floor," Simmons said. "Guys get paid to rebound. You don't know if the ball's not coming to you. When someone says that, or that they're not really picking me up full-court, I know I got you."

And so, Simmons said, he's developed a routine for handling those moments.

"They ask me if I'm going, and I usually say 'No' then go for the rebound," he said. "Maybe after that they learn their lesson."

are these crazy tight standing in the west historically unprecedented or does it just feel that way?
