Sixers going to steal one in Brooklyn late

Some times it’s better to be lucky than good. Nets are too unfamiliar with each other to be able to close. Bridges missed a bunny that would have won it. Rotten game management with Harden not missing that 2nd free throw with .9 left. Almost cost them. Saved by replay review. After the 1-2 road trip they need a 4-0 close to the head into All Star break. Houston Monday and Cavs Wednesday.

Dinwiddie hit a 3 but it was just a little too late. I really figured harden would brick the last free throw to run out the clock with only .9 seconds left.

Yep. They got the win but…
-1H defense two nights in a row was trash
- Everybody was worried about Maxey coming off the bench but it’s DeAnthony Melton that is struggling in the starter role. Maybe dude is hurt because he has really fallen off
- Harden not front rimming the free throw was sooo dumb. All you need is a tip on the rebound and the time is out. No way they can secure a rebound AND call time out for enough time for a catch and shoot.
- How the fuck is Dinwiddie that open in that spot?!?!? You’re guarding the 3 point line.

This team frustrates the fuck out of me. They really should be much better. They reek 2nd round exit.

Secure rebound and call time out is at least .3-.5 ticks off the clock.

I don’t believe Auerbach was as good a player as MJ. Close though.

I think Red lit up more cigars !

Nothing tells me these analytic metrics are fugaze than the fact that they grade the Sixers defense highly. If you watch it, you know it’s incredibly flawed. They give up dribble drive. They over help on dribble drive and they habitually give up stand still wide open 3s. Most NBA teams are going to hit 40-50% of wide open looks from 3. It’s drilled way too consistently. This shit is malpractice from Doc.

Yes we get it, you watch every game super closely. Meanwhile the Sixers give up the 3rd fewest points per game in the entire league. That's not analytics that's giving up less points.

Didn't know this happened. Nice to see them be adults

 

[msgkings322]

Lakers Ws game is a good one

 

[bksballer89]

Nice bounce back from Miami after the rought road trip last week.

Now 32-25 with 2 games left before the break

33-26 going into the break wouldn't be horrible

They stole one from Chicago tonight. Tired legs, missed a ton of open shots but played tough defense

Philly, Miami and Cleveland all stole wins tonight on their 2nd of back to back’s

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Kerr is coaching this game just good enough to give it away and loose.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Bold move with 7 to go lol

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Jordan Poole doing a decent Steph Curry imitation in. the 4th qtr.

If only you were there to advise him
