The full Joel Hans Embiid experience in one play . The self oop off the backboard is the ultimate playoff hype highlight play that can energize the whole team..... But it ends with him on the ground dead from his knee injuries again, after which the demoralized team gives up a massive run.
And sixers bench + Tobias once again shit in the playoffs.
Same as it ever was.....
Jokic as Gru from Despicable Me is the best thing ever.
Yeah, well done.Quote:

Complaining about a chant like that against a player from Philly is pretty funny.

I feel like what happened in the Nuggets regular season is meaningless. Playoff Nuggets are very different.
Boston failed. Failed to choke that is. They did try it out for a bit though in the 4th.
This happens every single season where way too much is made out of regular season games, often lacking context (key players out, playing a back to back, last game of a long road trip, etc).Quote:

Holy shit what a shot by Murray. Ball Arena was fucking wild.
The refs put on a masterclass of fuckery at end of the Knicks Sixers game. But the sixers still choked that away. Make one inbounds, call one TO correctly, get one board, that game is over .
Still, missing multiple attempts at calling TO , and Maxey getting his jersey ripped off on the inbound were egregious.

Both games were wild at the end. The Knicks-Sixers game, I thought it really odd that for all the times they replayed the sequence, they always showed the same distant angle, never did see a close up of what was happening with Maxey. So no idea what happened, were they intentionally not showing it because he was mugged?
And the Nuggets game, while the end of the game didn't seem to have any blown calls, there was one fairly late call that was overturned after a challenge, a supposed foul of DLo by MPJ that the refs ruled marginal contact after the replay. MPJ clearly knocked the ball free then clearly hit DLo on the face. Are players allowed to smack another player in the face so long as it happens after they knock the ball loose? Even if you say it's not a shooting foul, wouldn't that be a loose ball foul? There were some calls -- and successful replay challenges -- that had me baffled.
Come on Cavs!
One thing re the Knicks game that I have seen people talk about is how Nurse was desperately trying to call TO but the refs wouldn't give it to him, which is a load of BS. If you watch the replays and focus on Nurse and not the ball, he makes one half-hearted attempt to call TO after the made bucket but certainly isn't trying hard and it was just a single TO motion (and a ref that is focused on the game wouldn't see or give that TO to anyone). Then, after Maxey gets the ball, you finally see Nurse frantically try to call TO right about the time Maxey lost the ball. Now, Maxey may have been fouled, I don't know, but the notion that the refs screwed the Sixers because they wouldn't give Nurse the TO is BS.
Agree about Nurse. He half assed gestured for TO ,almost like he didn't really want to take it while Lowery had the ball before he inbounded. No reason not to aggressively take TO there when it doesn't go in instantly, why Inbound under your own basket in that situation. Terrible coaching .
But Maxey had two hands pulling his jersey backwards. Clear foul.
Still , fucking box out and get a board and game is still over.
Sixers got boned , but still choked.

^^^^that and Lowry should of called timeout if he couldn't get the ball in...christ he's in the league long enough to know that.
Lakers fans whining about the refs is high comedy. Sorry but your franchise gets more foul calls gifted than any other team and you blew a 20 point lead. Boo-fucking-hoo.

Maxey was fouled on the initial inbounds pass (jersey held, although TBH right before that he pushed off which also was a foul, so kind of a wash). But he got control of the ball, but then it looked like he just fell, I didn't see a foul there (but admittedly still haven't seen a great angle for that). His HUDGE mistake was he tried to pass the ball from the ground (that's what it looks like at least) which allowed the Knicks to take it.
Honestly, on the scale of "blown calls" there seems to be very little here.
The NBA itself disagrees .....Quote:

Comment: Maxey (PHI) brings his hands towards Hart (NYK) and marginal contact occurs as Maxey releases away from Hart during the inbound. An attempt to call a timeout by Coach Nurse (PHI) during this play is neither recognized nor granted by the officials.
Q4 00:27.0 Foul: Personal Jalen Brunson Tyrese Maxey INC
Comment: Brunson (NYK) pulls Maxey's (PHI) jersey away from his body, which affects Maxey's ability to secure the pass.
Q4 00:24.9 Foul: Personal Josh Hart Tyrese Maxey INC
Comment: Hart (NYK) steps forward into Maxey's (PHI) space and initiates lower body contact that causes Maxey to lose his balance and fall to the floor.
Love this . The NBA is admitting they cost the sixers the game , with 2 blow calls on one play, and missed granting the TIme Out. And the repercussions for it.... Zero. 2-0 Knicks.

I hate the last two minutes bullshit. Do the entire 4th quarter or don’t bother. I remember some games where one team was getting ridiculous foul calls in their favor all game long and then the refs blew a few at the very end and their fans were crying about it. It’s silly. Not saying that applies in this case but a major call could go down with 2 minutes and 20 seconds left and not be reviewed by the league.
Agree . The L2M is generally dumb. But in this case it helps sort out what actually happened in that scrum at the end.Quote:

eh, I don't see it. And they do not say the timeout should have been granted, they just say that Nurse signaled for one. He did. But if you focus on him during the whole exchange, it was a pretty meek call for that moment, done quickly once then not again (until after Maxey was on the ground losing the ball).Quote:

These missed foul calls didn't lead to Maxey seemingly trying to pass the ball while on the ground, which is why he lost the ball, and didn't lead to Hartenstein getting the rebound.
FWIW, that report also said there was a foul on Embiid that wasn't called near the end. Only difference there was Divencenzo managed to escape the contact and pass to Brunson, who hit a shot.
The Sixers choked hard.
Absolutely. I said it earlier. Maxey with the bonehead panic play of all time trying to pass the ball from the ground. Wrap it up, and you or the coach call time out. Really simple. He panicked.
But 2 things can be simultaneously true. The sixers shit the bed in an incredible way that they seem to have mastered, yet had the refs not egregiously fucked up, they wouldn't have had the chance to do so.

BUT
… I am totally salivating at the potential drama from Miami dumping Boston out of the playoffs in the first round.
Celtics choked. Again. What is it with these guys? Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
