I do just want to note the annoying humour in Griff going ballistic pre-game to talk about how god-awful the refs have been not calling stuff for Zion, and then them immediately coming out and giving Embiid 10 FTAs in the first half.

Basketball.
Yes. And I don?t like to cheer on injuries, but it may be a blessing in disguise. We still have a shot in the lottery or for a guy like Wagner or KispertOriginally Posted by Pelicanidae
76ers should be ashamed
These kids are not bowing down and I absolutely love it.
Yes.
Where is JAX? Billy and Jax in the game together for a stretch.
i got what i wanted...the team played hard....
Tank commander: Eric Bledsoe. If he is starting next year, I won’t give the Pels a dime to attend games.
Yeah I'll take 5 more of those.
Close games where young guys get good productive minutes but which we ultimately lose. Nice.
Same.
Too bad Jax couldnt get to 21. Nice game for Kira. More of that.
If he makes that mid range floater automatic...because nobody can stay in front of him.
Ditto. Perfect loss
Meanwhile, the Bulls are up 12 on the Celtics in the fourth. 8 minutes left to go, so things could change, but Bulls wins are good for us.
Lonzo is much more tank commander than Bledsoe. He has 5 out of 10 turnovers today (BTW one of the best games in that regard) and Bledsoe's hustle play after his poor pass gave them a chance. And some of his 3 point attemps are just ridiculous. In the 2nd quarter we were making a run and get back to two points with Kira and Bled, and 2-3 min after Lonzo returned we were down 14-15.
The big mystery here was why JAX didn't played last 3-4min, he was the best offensive player today and in that last play he would have caught the ball.
Anyway, they played with great energy, very few turnovers and needed only one of the 27 missed 3s to go in.

Because if he had, we would have won. Which is bad.
Beating the No1 in the East on a road with so many missing players could be never a bad thing for those young players. And it won't change much the position for the lottery.
Need to ask the little fat bowling ball midget why. SVG is incompetent.
No need to take chances. Let's succeed at something this year and get this 0-6 crackin.
This is sounds lovely. No sarcasm

Poor choice of games to go down this road. Incorporating the zone gave the 6'ers fits.
Well coached game and above average execution of game plan is how I see it.
Winning this game does nothing for us. It doesn't get us into the play-ins, and given how close the game was, Bledsoe hitting one three would not have meaningfully impacted the developmental experience the youth had in this game.
The loss may not help the lottery odds much but it does help; I've outlined this on the first page of this thread. If we lose out, there is a legitimate possibility of us having basically a 1/3rd chance at a top 4 pick; if we win just a couple of these games, those odds drop off from between 26 and 32%, to about 14%. That's a significant drop off.
And the Bulls picked up a win against Boston, which again, is good for us.
Hey at least our medical staff kept him healthy. LOL
Trolls come in defense of Griff
I agree with Pels GM David Griffin. Zion gets "absolutely mauled" without nearly enough fouls being called. Zion never complains to refs. Luka complains every single time. Maybe Zion should start making it harder on refs to ignore when he's obviously fouled.

Skip never misses an opportunity to jab Luka.
I wish this Wes Iwundu nonsense comes to an end and get Didi a couple games on the floor. Hopefully next L...I mean game.
