The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[Olympus]

So it’s really just Maxey playing at this point.

 

[Brownstone]

Man sit Embiid and try again next year... He's only making it worse the more he plays on it.

Its brutal to watch, getting cooked by Hartenstein is not how this was supposed to be

What's the story on this? Did y'all owner change his/her mind when they saw y'all started looking like a legit contender? Lol

It’s a longer story than this, but basically Glen contends A-Rod and Lore and their investment groups didn’t make a payment on time so he contends he has all the right to back out of the deal.

Many think it’s because he now knows the franchise is worth way more than the $1.5B he agreed to sell it to ARod and Lore for, so he was looking for any way out of the deal.

I think they didn't actually have the money, and now that the Wolves are contender the price went up. It's a really weird story.

Edit: as was mentioned elsewhere, the price Taylor was asking was almost insulting to other NBA owners. It was absurdly low considering teams should be selling at a minimum of $2 billion, especially when expansion fees are going to be $4 - $5 billion. There may have been pressure from the BoG to wiggle out of the deal.

We’ve been hearing about this awesome OG defense for him not to be guarding maxey?

 

[Based Jesus]

SVG been blatantly partisan tonight

 

[elpablo21]

I do respect Embiid for being out there AND performing

But I also agree from the start this szn should have been punted idk

OG isn't fast enough to guard Maxey honestly

McBride has been better at sticking with him

 

[rolaholic]

Gutsy performance on the road by a hobbled Embiid man, gotta respect it

 

[Kierris]

Embiid my guy but I'd hate to see his career cut short. I do appreciate him giving his all but man it ain't worth it, he came back way too early and like I said earlier, he's messing his knee up the more he plays on it like this.

 

[rolaholic]

Maxey is a star, his play level stays rising to the occassion/moment

 

[picasso swerve]

I gotta give it to Embiid. Playing at what, 70% and still dropping 34 and gutting it out.

Something tells me they might pull this off. If they dont, just sit him for the rest of the series.

 

[Kierris]

Somebody tell the sixers it's ok to shoot 2s!!!!

 

[Olympus]

TWO offensive boards in the same possession? Who do we think we are???

 

[mrswagtastic]

I cannot believe Tobias just grabbed an offensive board.

 

[Kierris]

Somebody tell J. Cole to do something. Both his stars balling with ailments and he just out there doing cardio

 

[Brownstone]

the 6ers cannot buy a rebound jesus

 

[antidope]

Masterful grift by Joel Embiid. "Look at him such a warrior"

 

[Manny Fernandez718]

This Knicks team has a lot of pieces that would put a contender over the top (like Minnesota or OKC )

 

[Kierris]

brunson can play like poop and picked up by his teammates but embiid and maxey gotta carry the full load.

Maxey plays to score and Brunson plays for fouls. That's the difference between the two.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

 

[cool...but rude]

BS call

 

[nick.]

that is a ridiculous overturn
