IM FUCKING FLIPPING OUT RIGHT NOW!!!

**SENSITIVITY WARNING**: The below video is graphic. Discretion is advised. I’m not a Thunder fan, but no basketball fan ever wants to see a player go down like JDub did ln It’s moments like this that remind you how precious this sport is, and how quickly it can change Praying for a speedy recovery. I know this man will come back stronger than ever Let’s not focus too much on who to blame. Basketball is a fast paced sport, these type of things happen Let’s just worry about JDub, his family, and the rest of the players on the court that witnessed this happen

Thoughts on last night’s game vs the Pistons: - offensive rebounding was a big issue for us. You don’t realize how much Embiid and VJ contributed to that category until their out - Adem Bona had a decent game, but I’m still not convinced. The above mentioned issue with offensive rebounds + opposing offense shot 50% against him. We can do better. - Anfernee Simons has had a tough stretch, but I’m not ready to give up on him. We know what he’s capable of, he just needs to get used to a new system - Labaron Philon Jr with his first buckets in the NBA. He’s creating good opportunities for himself, he just needs to keep building up the confidence to knock ‘em down The Pistons are a good team. We kept it honest while down some of our best players. I’m happy with that

Allow me to translate this for you: “There’s no beef” = “I have nothing against the guy” “He comes from an amazing family, we’ve accomplished wonderful things together” = “everything is good off the court” “But there might be a little lamb chops and gravy” = “when I see him on the court, I’m trying to kill him” In other words, don’t read so much into everything. They’re division rivals now, they’re not going to be friendly on the court, but it doesn’t mean they hate eachother now

Sixers fans vs the world

Embiid with the triple double VJ Edgecombe had a big night JB got a W on his birthday Maxey hit a sweet half court shot Another solid win for the sixers, 3-0 to start the season

First half thoughts: - All around much cleaner start than the previous 2 games, but the bar was set pretty low. - that said, back up center is clearly a big problem for us. Adem Bona is just not NBA material - I like what our bench pieces are doing. KCP, Simons, and Dean will create good floor spacing, and Jabari Walker got that fucking dog in him The second half is where we thrive, so let’s see how we end this shit

Dean Wade with his first bucket as a 76er We’ve been struggling from behind the arc so far this season, so it’s nice to see his first bucket come from the corner

The LeBron James mural looks even better in person

If you think the fan base that loyally defended Ben Simmons are “fair weather fans” then you don’t actually know shit about basketball

The amount of bad takes that came out of last nights game is alarming You guys really need to learn to keep your mouth shut before the game ends

What an emotional roller coaster this game was From a horrible first half to an incredible 4th quarter performance This team looks serious

I can’t remember the last time I’ve had this much fun watching the sixers I know it’s only game 2, but this team looks so fucking good man

The fans literally just boo’d Adem Bona lmfao

VJ getting visibly frustrated with Adem Bona We really need a new backup big

What did I fucking say?!

Damn what did Nick Nurse just tell these boys during half time? Best sequence the sixers have had all game

Ok yeah the sixers definitely sucks rn But these refs are not fucking helping either

This stadium is way too fucking bright now Do they offer Dark Mode on this shit?

Y’all seem to forget how quickly a basketball game can turn around It’s only the first quarter, just chill out and watch the game

The sixers chemistry is already improving You can tell the vision is there, they just need to get things to click
