Have to admit I've lost a lot of confidence and respect for this team after this embarrassing choke. Might have cost us the season too. Do not be surprised if we lose in 7. Golden opportunity and we blew it. And it wasn't just Maxey's heretics. The missed FTs, the turnovers, the lack of awareness in the clutch.

Agreed, NO reason not to give Precious minutes. Bounces and boards went their way tonight, add our mistakes and missed FTs, and terrible quarter starts, that is how you lose games you are supposed to win. Horrible, this series was over. You don't let Maxey get off any of those late 4th quarter 3s, especially the last deep one. You double and make Embiid hit shots. They just gave those clowns confidence. If DDV is off and he has been a lot lately, we don't have enough offensive firepower, especially against an Indy team. Not having Randle and now Bogey are big blows.

Amazing effort by the boys tonight. Just a couple of mistakes.

Don’t know how Precious gets a DNP after last game. That’s piss poor on Thibs.

Can’t let Maxey beat you. Only guy out there for the Sixers.

We will end it in Philly

Wont go that far. Just need them to rest up and forget this game happened.

Don't take much huh?
Can't give Philly any credit? The stayed in the game. Embiid was rebounding and blocking.
Maxey was amazing. 4 pt play? then that long 3?
Embarrassing?

Yeah, when JB hit Deuce for that assist, I thought he was gaining more trust in his teammates. OG has hit some clutch shot in the post-season. McBride has become a Rottweiler before our eyes. We needed more passing and movement.

Guys this is a mentally strong team that often plays great on the road. They will bounce back. We earned 3 chances at closing. 2 to go.

Shorthand and now back on the road. Gotta keep our heads

As good as Mitch was he is a liability in crunch time

Was great up till that play. It was a mistake for sure. Had forced multiple huge turnovers before rhat.

Although I don't agree with Sergio, now is not the time to start praising Maxey and Embiid. Do that **** when the series is over. They are trash and I refuse to acknowledge them as an actual people with hopes and dreams.

Lol come on

Sad choke job but Maxey hit two ridiculous shots … it was an eye for an eye after game 2.

We'll be alright. Revenge is a dish best served cold and there is no better place to do it than in PHI to the serenade of "F Embiid" by Knick Nation. The only downside to this is that it will tire us out against IND and at the pace they play, it's best to be rested/healthy.

Disgusted? Team has been excellent and we second guessing like Thibs been egregious?
Josh been a hero and he missed a foul shot and we gonna go off?
Maxey, a top league talent smoked us in the clutch and no body can admire that? Just whine about? Jeez!
Talk about whiney Philly fans........

How are we not taking better advantage of Embiid’s gimpiness?

I’m sorry but where was Precious tonight ?

For Christ sake he is our 2nd best defender and maybe best rebounder. We’ve only got Jalen, Deuce, OG shooting the ball at least put in d, length, rebounding and rim protection.

Lost rebounds 46-40 and guys are gassed and Thibs running Josh 53 minutes.

Up 6 - get key steal and Josh fires 50 foot pass over OG head into the stands.

Nobody guarding Oubre 1.2 the time and no plan to get ball out of Macey’s hands and deny him the ball. Deuce was valiant in his effort but Donte/Josh guarding Maxey may has well have been sleeping.

You see 70’s Knicks ball for 8-10 minute stretches with Deuce, OG, Hart contributing and then we go 40 minutes with Jalen on gimpy knee trying to beat all 5 Sixers.

One of the GREAT —- BRUTAL LOSSES OF ALL TIME. Reminds me of DeShawn Jackson punt return game and miracle of meadowlands Giant losses.

Agreed they paid us back for what we did to them plain and simple. They bounced it off and we can too.

Whomever was saying that Philly folds was wrong though. These guys are tough and have given us all they have got. This is series is a fight. Not one game has been simple.
