Brunson misses way too many clutch time FTs
Should have never let Josh touch the ball - they were just waiting for it

I'll be content if they make it to the second rounds. I'm proud of this team after the shit it went through. The Bogey injury might be the final straw against us going forward to ECF
You guys honestly think we should be playing Precious at the 4 in this series or what?

Lol come on
Sad choke job but Maxey hit two ridiculous shots … it was an eye for an eye after game 2.
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.
Maxey didn’t fold but the rest of the team did.

Thibs isn’t gonna sit Josh. You simply can’t play Josh, Precious, and a Center

Embiid steals the ball from Brunson? Gimpy?
Blocking shit? Rebounding?
Dude maybe evil but he is top 5 talent.
We did not close it, it happens.
I get some of you were all about "Philly the last few years.....",
but that was Brett brown coaching. Or Doc. Or Ben Simmons, or Harden.
Maxey is young and a different dude.
We had it. No precious. Mitch played well.
Losing, It hurts. Grow a pair.

They could used his energy. Doesn't where in the frontcourt. His ability to recover and help would've helped on defense.

That was the worst we will see Embiid ever play. He was playing scared and missing bunnies all night, along with turnovers galore. Brunson successfully attacked him all night as well although he made some big plays late on D.

Sounds nice until we have 3 guys on the court that Philly doesn’t need to guard
They have to beat us twice, we need to beat them once. Both teams are tired. We have thrived on outlasting people. Let it play out

Bite your tongue, lol. I hear what you're saying but even with Randle out, I think we can big boy the shit out of IND, especially with Haliburton hobbled. We should be in the Conference Finals but I have serious concerns about our ability to sustain this level of effort and somehow remain healthy and effective.

Missed FTs and plays like that will get you traded. This is not the regular season any more.

That doesn't sound much different than the scenario we're facing now with the starting lineup. I'm not saying Precious at the four should be a FT thing, but these team definitely could use his strengths. You're telling me Precious can't even get spots minutes at the four?

Those dudes wanted to go to Cancun. It's why I'm kinda shocked we lost focus as badly as we did but fatigue was clearly a factor. Thibs needs to do a better job managing minutes and timeouts.

I hear you and wish he would knock 100% but everyone was choking tonight.
Even Maxey missed 3 in row in 4th and Embid was choking left and right.
Can’t believe how many piss poor decisions we made to hand this game over.
Before game I was thinking if this is a true/legit team we will win this game and close them out —- now we’ve got to drag 7 bodies back to Philly and hope for the best.
JUST DISGUSTED
