Game Day: 76ers (38-30) @ Suns (39-29), Wed 3/20/24

I booed during starting lineups when they announced Vogel. Coaching on this team sucks.

[Split T]

Meh…the game was over the whole time

It was still another pathetic 4th quarter showing.

I disagree. We were up 24 going in…I don’t need them to win the Q, just win the game. They were up 17 with 2 minutes left. Sixers scrubs shot 6/8 from 3 in the Q. The 11 point difference means nothing to me…it was all garbage time.

[Superbone]

Making the same turnovers in game 69 as they did in game 1

Hey, we wanted continuity, right?

20pt lead ain’t bad tho. Let’s see how fast we lose it in the 4th.

Pretty fast. But then held on and grew it a bit.

[Superbone]

Will the Suns win this game by double digits?

Just barely.

[Superbone]

Ewwbanks has such a punchable face.

Beef Stew agrees with you.

[Superbone]

Here comes IT.

O/U 3.5 shots in the last 1:45?

He took one and I’m not even sure if it was a shot or pass.

[Superbone]

IT looking good!

Did you shrink him down or something?

[Superbone]

And that's why we never see Thad. Ooph.

Yeah, with that one wide open dunk failure he showed that he has nothing left in the tank.

[Superbone]

Nah, Ewwwbanks still worse

No.

[AmareIsGod]

IT looking good!

Did you shrink him down or something?

Nope. I had really good seats. He's just a pretty wee fella.

[Superbone]

So, did your consumption slow down in the 2nd half, AIG? I think you ate more in the first half than I do in 3 days.

[Flagrant Fowl]

The refs hardly called anything at the rim in this game. There was a lot of contact and Nick Nurse was freaking out on the sideline a few times, so at least both coaches were pissed off.

[MightyMoog]

It’s no secret they’re not calling fouls anymore. Doesn’t bode well for our team as we relied on that too much. We don’t have many players that can make tough shots without space and through contact.

And if that’s how they’re going to call it, we need to do the same. Also, stop bitching and get down to the other end of the court.

Not really. If the suns play better than the trash Sixers for the first 3 minutes of the 4th, it's game over and we can get our starters some rest. Instead we had to bring Book and Nurk back in and play the starters until the two minute mark. KD is straight up out of steam and we need to rest that guy when we can.

[Wally_West]

Nah, Ewwwbanks still worse

No.

Yes. Ewwwbanks had a point blank dunk with no defenders around him….AND MISSED IT!

That Thad play didn’t look good but it was 24 seconds left on the clock, game was decided, at least there was defender in front of him. We’re playing 6 against 4 when Ewwbanks is out there.

Won a game we were supposed to against a lesser team (No Embiid). So good news there but still a lot of negatives in terms of how we started the game, all the TOs and overthinking and overpassing. It seems like, lately, guys are getting into the lane and forcing the kickout for a 3pt attempt just to get those shots up. We need to take 3s but we also need to score the ball. Book, Beal and KD are midrange shooters/scorers so they need to take the shots they normally take and make. We just can't seem to figure out that balance. The TOs are a killer. Not sure how we solve that at this point. I love what Grayson's done this season and he's filled the role we've asked of him without question but we shouldn't need him to hit 8 threes in order to beat a team.

Bol with some good minutes and helped keep us afloat in the first half but it's still hard for me to buy-in on him being a regular rotational contributor for some reason.

As I sit on the shitter this morning while messing around on my phone, I just want to say thanks everyone for letting me share the game with you all last night. Had a lot of fun and tried to take some cool pictures. Plenty more with guys making ridiculous faces either complaining to the female official or looking like they were getting assaulted while shooting.
