The Philadelphia Experiment - ...And Live With The Consequences

[danielnajdek]

Well that should've been a 3 point play for Embiid.

 

[danielnajdek]

Come on JJ you should make that mate.

 

[danielnajdek]

I'm annoyed at this game. Embiid got fouled and should've had a 3 point play.

 

[samFFC]

Yep very frustrating. Refs and disappointing play on both ends. Wade was huge.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Wade was a bees d1ck frim hitting the winner in the previous game.

Too many times they are putting up ridiculous shots. TJ has to stop thinking he can drive all the time. At one point he ran away from Benenelli alone at the 3pt line and got blocked on the lay up.

Reddick has to be a catch and shoot player not off the dribble.

 

[danielnajdek]

What I don't get is people having a go at Ben about his defense on Wade on that last shot. I thought he defended pretty well and made Wade hit a difficult shot.

Lol, who in the world would be getting at him over that? He contested it well, without fouling and Wade was just insanely hot and hit a really tough shot. Make or miss league, shit happens.

Yep. And if Ben had of jumped Wade would've pumped fake him and draw a foul against him.

That was a real argument? Saw a bit of chatter about whether he should have drove for a lay-up through contact, but nothing on how he defended Wade which was of course fine. Either way, another ROTM under his belt - 8 of the last 10 in the East have been Sixers.

Josh Harris is a front page NYT story. Sixers YOY valuation next year will likely be among the highest across the NBA again, so no reason to think he's going to sell the team, but **** I want him to sell the team.

Work production is going to be super-low from 12, cause I am actually excited to see this match-up. I've shat on Ilyasova before, and still think I'll be eventually infuriated, but nothing like him hitting threes in transition to stroke that irrational confidence. Still, going to be interesting how Brett uses him because he can't play for too long without Embiid, and you'd want him to be more efficient shooting cause he's not going to have as many shots.

 

[Drummer_19]

I think the most infuriating Ilyasova trait (and Redick's, too) is the pump fake a wide open 3 into a contested 2. Still, anything to get out of those Embiid/Booker and Amir/Booker/Ben/TJ line ups that have zero spacing.

The boss is away today, I have had a huge week at work.... so I am genuinely taking lunch for the entire game today

If you’re talking about that last play yeah I’ve seen people say Ben should’ve won it himself. They seem to forget he was double teamed so he kicked it out to Saric who then found a wide open JJ. It was the right play imo. Just that JJ missed the shot.

yeah JJ was wide open, and probably makes that shot what... 7 from 10?

 

[danielnajdek]

Lol refs just don't like Saric for some reason.

 

[danielnajdek]

Saric gets the 2 and gets smashed yet no foul. Come on ref call the foul ffs.

 

[Drummer_19]

It's absurd lol, dude just gets no calls.

 

[danielnajdek]

It's absurd lol, dude just gets no calls.

He just got bumped again and no foul. Lol.

 

[danielnajdek]

These refs are trying to get the Cavs a win. How wasn't that a foul against Jo Jo.

 

[TW Sherrin]

How happy is Lebron that the 76rs won. He cant stop joking around. Looks like he loves Joel.

 

[danielnajdek]

Dario did the wrong thing by scoring but I think he just didn't realise. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Plus he never gets calls from the refs.

He's a space cadet, he's got no clue lol.

 

[Drummer_19]

Good win tho, I never felt like we were going to give it up.

 

[samFFC]

Great win!
JoJo f--king brutal with the D play then the fade-away to win it.
Even contributions all round unlike the Cavs. RoCo 41 minutes and only 2 three-pointers, but still putting up a winning score.
Splitting Heat-Cavs away not too bad.

 

[samFFC]

Good win tho, I never felt like we were going to give it up.

Didn't give the lead up at any stage - highly encouraging.

 

[samFFC]

Is throwing a ball at another player also an unwritten rule?
