ESPN story on NBA's Competition Committee meeting Monday to push closer to recommendations that'll eliminate foul calls for unnatural motions on jump shots: https://t.co/XrsyKJLbyM
KD's job got harder
What? KD just shoots over people
Nah he tried to bait foul calls
So does everyone.
Like you aren't trying in the modern NBA if your a shooter and you aren't trying to bait.
It's one example out of many
I don't know if they'll stop it for everyone.
honestly if at least half of them stop being called fouls or are called offensive fouls i'll take it
stars will still probably get the benefit of the doubt
Charges were pretty bad yesterday
2020-21 NBA All-Defensive teams:
First team: Rudy Gobert, Ben Simmons, Draymond Green, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday
Second team: Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler, Joel Embiid, Matisse Thybulle, Kawhi Leonard
165
799
no complaints there
Gonzalez had a good few, could've bagged 2
anyways group stage ain't too much of a deal as 4 of the 5 times qualify
He was legit 1 on 1 with both feet and head
some promising signs and worrying signs too
And couldn’t even test GK either time
It is worrying though, Argentina has blown leads in 3 straight games
This being the group stage doesn’t negate that
Rudy Gobert and Ben Simmons both received NBA All-Defensive First Team votes on all 100 ballots.
The full voting results for the 2020-21 NBA All-Defensive Team are below.
More ➡️ https://t.co/5T2zOsxqhm
the header ones are a bit more difficult but was a clear chance too
You’re a starting player for one of the best national teams
That’s not a hard header
No pressure from defense either
The battle of my two teams coming up.
his overall play was solid, just the end product wasn't good
idk I wouldn't crucify the kid yet
Yea but no ones gonna remember his overall play if his end product directly led to a draw
He legit had opportunities a kid could score
again it's group stages fate
who knows
Should we crucify him after he misses those chances in an elimination game?
Perhaps analyzing before hand and not letting the same players make the same mistakes is how you start winning games
Argentina have blown leads in 3 straight games where they have had 3x the shots and some easy goals let off
Going with the status quo seems a bit absurd
well the worrying signs was the defense, so yeah
2 of those were pens as well
both vs chile
The defense was pretty good today bar from a Otamendi misread which is bound to happen because he’s awful
But even if they score 1, your offense being as talented as it is should be scoring more than 1
And even then, it didn’t happen from open play. Messi had to whip in a FK
Brazil look so far and beyond better
I always expect Brazil to go far, and they come up short
Dw they have won like their last 12
They are buzzing
Neymar is in peak form
Its their to lose, most other South American teams are a shell of 10 years ago
Not Argentina, they just rely on Messi to do everything
think sixers take game 4?
if things go as they have gone before then yes
Teams always seem to have trouble deciding whether to double Embiid or not
Just let him score and try to shut the others down
I got hawks winning today
if trae young can't score that well then don't see them winning
The #Hawks moved Kevin Huerter into the starting lineup tonight.
huerter starting is big though
they need it
he's actually good unlike solomon hill
Solomon hill is trash
where's snell?
nice, hopefully he has a good game
one day NBA games will start on time
yeah
finally damn lol
that logo is cool
this series is actually quite intense
hawks are a good team
better than i thought they would be
Just realized, Harris totally turned his reputation around
all games have been pretty close for the most part
Lloyd Pierce was a shit coach
fr
Nate's an average to an above average coach
yeah
I'd look for other options to take them over the top
Liked that Simmons drive
finally mcmillan is putting huerter in the starting lineup
already a timeout by philly
thats
pretty early
Trying not to let the Hawks get hot.
10-12
we need more playoff tobi moments
sheesh
this dude is crazy
embiid 6 reb already
Hawks are in a struggle
unfortunate moment for collins there
trae get it together
struggling
hahahaha
trae did the thing
!!!!!
he missed a ft?????

HE MISSED BOTH????
WTF
idk if im wathcing the right game
simmons and embiid with a combined like 13 rebs rn
30 seconds behind
thought that'd go in
They brought out a whole live band after Chuck hit the Guarantee button 😂
S/O to the Atlanta Drum Academy
(via @NBAonTNT)
https://t.co/AfpDm2oGAk
thoughts ?
just elevating them
Kawhi was the only one that I'm iffy on due to bias, but they got it right.
Cause I liked Mikal
simmons was there already?
shame wiggins got 1 vote he was solid this year
surprised Chris Paul got as many votes as he did...
anthony tolliver still in the league?
Philly just looks like the better team now
look at that giant ice pack
Trae young
Yeah Hawks are in trouble
yup
he doesn't play much
hoping he would be an actual replacement for mike scott but he hasn't been that
he's good for the locker room i guess
unfortunate
you guys think the outcome of the suns-nuggets series would change if murray wasn't injured?
apparently trae tweaked his shoulder or something
yes
yeah it would
it wouldn't be a sweep
would be 6 to 7 games
when did he get hurt I must've missed it smh
young or murray?
only started in the second so didn't see it eitehr
Young is probably just sore
ye his shot in the 1st was off for sure
Joel Embiid is in the locker room having "medical attention", according to @NBAonTNT.
...............
uh oh
shit
Injuries strike again
Looks like the Bucks and Suns are the healthiest team now
only gonna be the refs during the finals
just came back in the arena met with a series of boos
dont like these playoffs
aight he back
refs season
the stars gotta play
Howard drew a foul
and the 2020-2021 NBA champion is the LA Refs
good to see Embiid back
yeah, i was wondering if it was for that or embiid walking in
atl coming back
embiid was out
thing is, booing howard isn't necessary lmao, he'll just miss on his own most of the time
^
yea
Expect to see more injuries with how quick the NBA is going to start its season again...
but thats irrelevant
he's worse of a ft shooter than ben simmons
regardless of who is at the line
at a playoff game
on the ft line
u boo them lmao
i knew devin booker wasnt gonna miss any fts but i was still booing him
lol
lmaoo
booker isn't putting up "empty stats" now
man trae cold
you went to some of the games, right>?
Watching Booker in person, he's tall
fate
embiid being an actual 3 pt shooter this season
underestimated his 6 ft 6 stature
only 1% off jokic ithink
everyone looks taller in person
i think he's shot less but still
the average nba player is way taller than most people
love to see it
still its nice
Man Embiid man
whats with all these players being left short
if only simmons would even shoot 3's
nice nice
Needs to work on it
might be 3, thinking of going to clippers game 6
Everytime the Hawks go on a run, Sixers punch and answer
if there even is one
wear a lakers jersey
seth curry has to stay hot this entire game
last clipper game
or else we lose
there's enough lakers fans there anyways
i saw more doncic jerseys
he is the key to winning im not gonna lie
Doncic is the second most popular jersey being sold
bruh simmons
i saw a funny photoshop on twitter where it was like "Los Angeles Clippers / Owner: Luka Doncic"
did simmons go 0/2 from the line?
Still wish the Mavs won
oh
jesus christ you wanna stop hitting threes atl
think it was an and 1
They got hot man
dang i like the ATL crowd
i say that when they're 3/12
looks lit
I like both Bogeys man
ah, trae went for the lob off the glass
eh simmons missing a ft is whatever
capela too small for embiid
too hard off the backboard i think
yeah, he tweaked it earlier
its crazy how gallo has been on the bench for like the entire season
is a game on?
yeah
yeah
yea
sixers / hawks
Matching score for score
on god this man a DEMON
good idea
they built different
"Did Tobias Harris Sell His Soul To Become A God In The Playoffs?"
A rebound from those previous years
young got a tech
not too long ago i saw a vid on recommended that was like "did lebron sell his soul to make the shot against the warriors"
something along those lines
what a title
pulling in all the viewers
i think there was still a good chance jokic wins it
assuming the things with murray went the same
He would have challenged it
yeah for sure
jokic played well and het got the mvp
17
yeah
big lead
idk either
the hawks are severely limited without hunter
This Embiid fadeaway is too smooth 😮 https://t.co/plwP7YWNUf
He would have been helpful this series
@gloomy meadow @sweet tree @honest umbra sorry for the ping 1 hour after the match ended, all I'll say is that we got away with murder and specially Vidal
this felt like the Bolivia match but reversed
Trae Young gets a tech after telling the ref to open up his eyes 👀 https://t.co/BM7cwgncAq
not really a way you want to end off the quarter, missed opportunity to go up 20 and giving up 2 baskets
ugh
need a stop
and they hit a three
why would you sub out thybulle for tobi and not korkmaz
nice way to leave huerter wide open because you wanted to double commit on trae
danny green missed there
simmons was literally on him
yeah danny green can defend
yeah and it's working
wendell carter was a good pickup
vuc was clearly not helping their agenda of tanking so i guess that was pretty good
The only franchise we really pulled a fast one on is Denver. Chicago still got an all star, they're just a bad team. 
lol
what did orlando get out of the nuggets trade?
hampton and
picks?
oh, gary harris
Gary Harris, Hampton and Denver's protected 2025 first-round pick
not bad
For that playoff performance Gordon had. Yeah, not bad at all.
yup
hampton looks nice
he showed some signs
won ROTM
tbf he's playing for the magic
now the magic have to draft well and make the right moves
They need a lot of things too
its like the knicks last year where marcus morris or whatever was averaging like 20 cause they aint have no one to shoot for him
They need lottery luck at this point, don't think they've picked higher than 4
just dont pull a jahlil okafor draft decision
easier said than done

Man, that draft lottery is probably the first time since Oladipo was a Magic that I felt excited as a Magic fan. It's really sad.
He almost made me quit watching.
At least with someone like Sam Hinkie, there was a clear goal. Tank hard for prospects for a championship dynasty. Hennigan's Magic. Let's trade our former 1st round picks 2 years after drafting.
If that pic of Hennigan's offseason plans didn't leak, he was gonna trade Gordon.
8 days till the lotto
Please lady luck, don't shaft the Magic out of a top 4 pick again 
it's so nice not to give a damn about the lottery anymore
Ready for inevitable disappointment, Buc?
top 4 pick incoming
Please
man bogdanovic is great
There are legit 4 guys I'd be over the moon with
been a key player for atlanta this whole series
Cade, either of the Jalens, and Kuminga
Pass on Mobley
Done enough draft bigs for a while
I forgot about Suggs
This pic literally saved me from quitting watching basketball.
inb4 mobley tweet "let's get to work orlando! 💯 "
What an idiot
how do you not censor this
If you're the Magic
Mobley isn't a bad player, but you need guards and wings
Don't know. Don't care. Either way, it was time to fuck off with Hennigan.
"Woah, woah, woah. You were a great player."
"Thank you brother."
@SHAQ and Chuck complimenting each other caught everyone off guard 🤣 https://t.co/40sF21zeRc
only 8 pt game man
ugh
ugly way to start the third
score please
well just as i say that
I love watching the Rays and White Sox play each other. No stress to worry about. Just watch the fireworks.
Rays are the most well run organization in the MLB
You know, except for ownership being cheap and inevitable relocation.
Can't help ownership, but the rest of the staff is top notch
Can't do anything about cheap owners
unfortunately
The curse of the Rays. There's a reason I root for the White Sox too. just saying.
How the Orlando Magic Ruined Their NBA Team This Decade. As the 2018 NBA playoffs go on, let's talk about a NBA team not in the postseason - the Orlando Magic and their issues. They traded away Victor Oladipo, signed Bismack Biyombo to a massive contract and signed Serge Ibaka on a team that has a million frontcourt players. Can they make a come...
You want Cade the most? Or just want a top 3 pick?
Just the top 3 pick. Although getting Cade would be hype as hell.
It's just like the Ducks in the NHL. I just wanted a top 3 pick.
I would like Green. We really need a good number 2.
that would make sense.
Who's your point guard again?
Fultz
came back
oh yeah that's right
would cole anthony work?
came back?
or is he more of a sg?
Still down by 10
You don't know how much relief I felt when we traded Evan Fournier.
thought he was a shooting guard
Definition of average
Has an elite sense of humor though
Haha. Fleury...dude..what?
i dont like where this game is going man
I feel like Cole Anthony is gonna be a bench player. You don't pay Fultz big money to be replaced with Cole.
why are the sixers choking?
ah
nice to see him be a contributor after his injurt
He passed the puck right to a Hab and had to scramble to keep it out of the net.
dangit
First touch of the puck, too. haha
korkmaz open?
In other words, he yeet the puck.
and i know atl can prolly outlast philly in that category
why double harris?
Doc Rivers is always a choker
tree would approve of the yeet
You only live once after all.
haha, he's looking off mentally. Just making some nerve driven decisions when he touches the puck.
Making the saves though.
embiid oh no
hawks are shooting sub-40% and still in the game bec they have 5 extra ft's
down in threes, made fg's
flagrant?
flagrant?
is that the same knee
on simmons?
he was making a desparation play
two losses
only see that being a one
Hey, at least Fleury has a good glove hand. 
was it a flagrant ?
one
probably would be
not close to a two
lots of flagrants in this playoff
Doc Rivers effect
what is happening
choking
COLLINS
Romanov just bodied Pietrangelo
lmao
2 pt game
INCOMING
PHILADELPHIA SPORTS!!!!!!!!!!
LOLLLL
CHOKE
and embiid misses

FUCK ME
here we go
WE LOST THIS ONE
why they choking doe?
Clipper fans:
26-15 3rd quarter
and give it to curry a little
Atlanta just dominating this quarter
gameplan is to give the ball to tobias and run off ball screens for curry
and keep doingr that
or just sub them out
alright doc!!!!
at least okongwu and snell are in now
instead of collins and capela
Doc Rivers gameplan is reminiscing about 2007-08.
paired alongside how stagnant this offense is
Young turnover
YOUNG
VLOG BOY
thybuleee
trae just owned george hill
Habs knights is insane
and thybulle takes the last shot
What a matchup
why did they put george hill on trae ?????
You hear about the Rangers hiring Gallant?
Yes!
i just cant man
I'm happy
Rangers did something right.
jesus christ if dwight is staying in alongside hill
this game is over
lead will be lost
sub in starters
Embiid had some words for the crowd 😬 https://t.co/37woHALTld
Can read those lips
"STFU"
And the Knights score
damn
Off the face off.
damn it
TRAE COMES OUT
THANK JESUS
THANK THE LORD
oh no
oh no
all bench lineup
with tobi at least
but fuck
lead lost
lead lost
Sounding familiar to the Clippers last year. "We have double digit leads. Better stop giving a shit!"
well you know, it isn't a 76ers game without blowing a huge fucking lead to some shit team
i knew i wasn't going to trust that lead in the second
after game 1
Close game now
it wasn't going to last
lol 4th started
shake has to go demon timing
Time to start cussing at shake man
like in game 2 i think
didn't see it starting
Insult time
Fuck shake
wow philly is down
play better shake!
AND 1 NOW
made him be good
complete accident
am i the only one hearing faint chants of "russell westbrook"
that's a foul
fuck dwight howard.
It's so strange seeing a canadian team playing in the US rn. You'd think they'd let the Blue Jays come back to Toronto. But.. NOPE!
that's not a 2
oh lmao
and it wasn't the leafs.
still salty that a blue & white team made the conference finals in toronto and it wasn't the leafs
ha

yeah seemed like just a loose ball
damn
man they really can't defend
no defense
why is simmons out???
#Rays Glasnow out after 4 innings and 53 pitches. @BallyRays analyst Brian Anderson noted they had several shots of Glasnow stretching/flexing/shaking his arm.
Umm Glasnow. You better not be hurt.
uh oh
ur glasnow?
No. 
no time to mess around
and travel on shake
fuck man
time to slander him so he plays well
ahhh shake wtf
finally, embiid in
that means capelas also here but fuck it
he needs to be on the court
curry should be in for maxey as well
2 point game...
This Habs and Knights game has just turned into a grit fest
so sloppy for philly
jesus christ man
curry finally in
please man
just hit a few threes
and tie game again

Vegas on the PP.
Let's go Atlanta.

im dying
if this goes 2-2 i doubt sixers ability to close it out because they cant even go up 3-1
The East may be getting spicy.
Imagine a NBA Finals With the Suns and Hawks. It would be weird shit not seen since the 70s.
TRAE LOBS TO CAPELA FOR THE FLUSH 🔥
Hawks have the lead in Atlanta! https://t.co/CNXGy49QKK
stern rolling over in his grave
yikes
here you see a man broken
a sports fan
Right elbow inflammation for Tyler Glasnow. Taken out of the game after four innings.
Simmons man
at least he hit one
Man one of two
oh lol
3:23
i am in complete shambles right now
smh lol
loose ball on capela i think
yeah
those ar ehis first points in the second half???????
Trae and Embiid trying to draw foul calls
14 points overall
damn
no wonder the hawks came back
11
you dont know
how passive embiid was
in the third
he took threes
and jumpers
instead of bully ball
simmons with only 3 less points than embiid what is this
this is fuckery
something like that maybe
are u ok xrz?
he does not look like himself
sixers up
i am not okay ]
nah xrz is panicking
probably intensely clenching
Here we go...

dont panic dude
i am in complete disarray
life is all about fun
Sixers up 4
Korkmaz 3
17 ASSISTS for Trae Young 🤯
@sixers 93
@ATLHawks 94
3:23 to play on TNT. #NBAPlayoffs
finally korkmaz
if we win this game, every night
i will hang a photo of him above the fireplace
and pray to him like he's a god
KORK
collins 3
Clenching
LOL
AND HAWKS TAKE THE LEAD AGAIN
damn
wtf just happened man
what is happening
bruhhh
what a choke job
what is embiid doing
Hits him in the head
3 point Hawks lead
what a choke
this is how pierre mcguire pronounced Kotkaniemi
I don't know why they'd do that, but ok
collins fouled simmons im guessing
embiid fouled
embiid actually
will he purposefully miss this one?
Nice play from Trae Young but not sure what the Sixers were going with coverage wise. You see the difference it makes when ATL screens or slips. Simmons has to go over, Korkmaz is there but releases before Simmons can recover. Young turns the corner and hits the floater. https://t.co/0CrXgeUgCQ
no clue
he's clearly been affected by the injury
being more passive
question is
if you know you're limited
and you're embiid
give up the damn ball
set screens
Simmons can't score
Don't know why Seth Curry isn't playing
16 seconds...
that was such a bad possession
why didnt trae shoot it
Doc, don't screw this up
I really enjoy that the trend for defenses this post-season has been "ok fine we're going to give you the switch you want BUT A DOUBLE IS COMING BUDDY"
loll
oh they have no time outs
AHAHHAAHAH
Last stage of grief.... acceptance.
LOLlllll
he gassed
AHAHAHAHAH
WIDE OPEN LAYUP MISS
WHAT A CHOKE
Dude. Embiid sit down and think about what you've done.
HOW DO YOU MISS THAT
Knights up 2-0
Former LA King Alec Martinez
lol
I honestly think Embiid would fall apart if the Sixers ever make it to the finals.
knights are better than the north teams
they have to make the conference finals first
If the sixers win
My god
xrz would freak out
gg
gg
im done
lol what a mess
series goes 2-2
never watching a philly game ever again because of this dumb shit
You seem more disappointed than the Miami series
my health cant take this
CHOKE
if i keep watching games i'll be dead by the time this playoffs is over
Don't worry, xrz. Kimmy knows a thing or two about choking. 
pure panic mode from me tonight
hey at least i get to celebrate other people's chokes
Embiid has to be playing on something severe cause that was legitimately atrocious.
was on the verge of going crazy the whole fourth
simmons missing that layup though
never again
he can't miss that
curry had a shot
that was BAD
