For 7th place

I didn’t get to see the game but what happened to Kon? 3-14?

3

Just an off shooting night for everyone really. Philly did a good job of ramping up the pressure in the 4th, but just one of those nights. He had some good looks that just didn’t go down

Philly going all out with everyone back. Great test

meloFan

We got the dog in this team, we can beat them

cltblkhscoach

Already see what the whistle gonna be smh

Kon got accosted no foul

meloFan

They will likely award Embiid 20 FTAs or something for sure

cltblkhscoach

BS man 2 on Moussa already

meloFan

The OG flopper

I DISLIKE EMBIID so bad, you don't even know

he can go eat a bag of d**ks

How the fuck is that a second foul

Fuck Embiid

cltblkhscoach

Man this crowd is on fire for that BS

tnhornetsfan

That shouldn't be overturned

meloFan

That should be a FLAGRANT

Elbow to the face the fuck

Mich_Mercer

Dirty play

No doubt

cltblkhscoach

I don't know why Philly challenged it

100 2
Mich_Mercer

Someone hold Moussa back… he’s gonna fight

Send in Tillman

meloFan

Embiid = :poop: :clown_face:

TheDorkLord

let's upgrade this one

100 2
Mich_Mercer

Yep… I mean… he won’t be a 2 but it should be. He did that on purpose

cltblkhscoach

What did they sayM I couldn't hear in the arena

TheDorkLord

dead ball tech

meloFan

there is illegal contact from Ball to Embiid so a PF, then a deadball tech

cltblkhscoach

Good

meloFan

then commercial break

Mich_Mercer

So dirty… and he’s going to argue that? lol

meloFan

Lamelo gets no whistle

cltblkhscoach

Philly is really going through Embiid exclusive. Interesting

meloFan

fucking flopping ass

sorry for the expletives fellas, I really HATE embiid

TheDorkLord

Brandon

flexed_biceps 1
cltblkhscoach

These fouls are a joke

Mich_Mercer

Embiid always kills us… but he’s such a sissy player

cltblkhscoach

I think Philly isn't doing themselves any favors just going through Embiid a lot . It's like an old 90s offense

TheDorkLord

we need to run the them hard

cltblkhscoach

I think they're trying to get us in foul trouble but Ryan is holding his water.

3 on Brandon smh

100 1
meloFan

How the heck is that a foul

cltblkhscoach

Foul baiting bs

The double on Coby at the end of quarters is an adjustment to make

Mich_Mercer

We have such a good team.

TheDorkLord

what a crappy end to such a great quarter

Mich_Mercer

But I wish we got these calls.

meloFan

So BS

We don't even get 10%of these calls

100 1
Mich_Mercer

Every time we play the 76ers… they get all the calls.

TheDorkLord

#9 will make those "automatic" calls all game… I hate that crap

GoBobcats24

Man oh man this ba reffing getting OLD

Typical culprits, Sago and Guthrie

100 1
meloFan

Let's put these dogshit baiters to bed

Mich_Mercer

Foul foul foul foul foul

cltblkhscoach

You think Embiid is on minutes restriction?

Might be why they force fed him early

Mich_Mercer

I hope he is.

It doesn’t seem like we are up double digits to me.

It’s great having Coby white when Brandon, Miller or Kon is in foul trouble

cltblkhscoach

Flop flop flop

TheDorkLord

shitty refs

cltblkhscoach

BS man

Mich_Mercer

Flop again.

So big, yet way small guys knock him over

woodsy23

Bullshit

Mich_Mercer

I wish we could do that. It’s so unfair and tough to watch. Such BS

woodsy23

Volume of 3s and tanking gets the headlines but standard of officiating and soft whistles for certain teams/players is the worst aspect of the nba right now

100 3
Mich_Mercer

The bs fouls are keeping them in it

woodsy23

Shooting 56% from 3 and only up 4 is rough

Mich_Mercer

Our guys fall… no call.

meloFan

so thats not a foul on JG?

delay of game???

TheDorkLord

such total BS that the offensive player creates the contact and gets the call

meloFan

thats a foul on Kalk?

Let me ram into this guy into the ground and get rewarded such bs

Mich_Mercer

BS

That’s how LeBron plays too

100 1
meloFan

These refs need a high-five to the face for the good job they are doing

rofl 1
Mich_Mercer

Bc he doesn’t have any skill… so he just always plows into guys

cltblkhscoach

Yeah these refs are a joke man. Game like this let them play

meloFan

I am watching this game extra pissed since I have to watch through the philly broadcast because "local blackout" shit (I am in PA)

MOUSSE IS LOOSE

LOVE MOUSSA

Vet_Picksetter

BMill!

cltblkhscoach

11-0 run after they tie it. Cold-blooded

That was nice

Mich_Mercer

Let’s take their will away

meloFan

hell yeah

6ers bamboozeled

Mich_Mercer

Hell yeah

Jinx lol

meloFan

that is a bs foul on Lamela let them be physical there

100 1
Mich_Mercer

Moussa is all over the ball.

Great passing. Love how we share the ball.

cltblkhscoach

Philly diversifying the offense going through Paul George more. That scares me more than Embiid

100 1
tnhornetsfan

Bridges forced that last shot

cltblkhscoach

They're getting Edgecomb involved too

meloFan

6ers 4 is scary, Maxey PG VJ Embiid

100 1
Vet_Picksetter

I see Kon guarding Maxey and LaMelo checking Edgecomb with the thought, "Okay this lead can't last forever…"

Good timeout

cltblkhscoach

Yeah those 4 are a problem. They just need time to get it going

Mich_Mercer

I’m glad Embiid is getting older…

100 1
meloFan

If Embiid was not so into bullshit plays like chucking stupid 3s and foul baiting, 6ers would be in Finals conversations

cltblkhscoach

But with George and Embiid, you aren't going to have much time with that core

spectre

Call me crazy but I like our 4 over theirs

meloFan

For long term, for sure. Today, theirs is scarier

spectre

Not tonight, so far anyway

meloFan

Like Embiid my guy, be the Shaq your team needs

spectre

We’ve been kicking everyone’s ass lol

meloFan

I'll be devils advocate, its just their 2nd game back together, with drugs on PG, and Embiid with injury

spectre

Like you said they’re getting old. They’re not able to cope with our attack

Vet_Picksetter

Okay, here's a point in the game where I wish we had a good big low post guy to throw it into.

spectre

I like Kalk but he’s a 3rd big

Vet_Picksetter

I think Kalk will have to develop more offensive weaponry to ever warrant a long-term starting gig.

100 1
spectre

I hate a player who’s strength is pulling fouls

Vet_Picksetter

Second chance ants!

cltblkhscoach

Sixers crying over the whistle is hilarious to me

Embiid is effective but I hate watching him.

FLOPPER

Mich_Mercer

What bs

That’s insane

Such a joke

Vet_Picksetter

Does the medical staff even allow Embiid to jump anymore?

Mich_Mercer

That’s not basketball…

dnbman

Embid with zero fouls. hmmmm

Kon with 9 rebounds is legit. Love that he contributes even when he's not hitting lots of shots

heart 2
Mich_Mercer

I love how the whole team does what needs to be done. And they know they are getting screwed with these fouls… but they just keep at it

woodsy23

Eric Collins calling him a free throw merchant was a small silver lining

meloFan

Kalk just doesn't fit this team in offense too sluggish

GoBobcats24

How in the hell is that not a taunting tech

100 1
cltblkhscoach

Sluggish start to the 4th

GoBobcats24

The whole fucking team taunted us

100 1
tnhornetsfan

Maybe that'll get the guys going. Offense is stale

Mich_Mercer

Miles dunk incoming

woodsy23

Done well to stay in this with our shooting struggles but not going to hold on here if we can’t get some shots to fall sharpish

Mich_Mercer

It does feel like we are seconds from losing it.

TheDorkLord

Coby playing their game

Mich_Mercer

Moussa needs to develop a shooting game.

Chef

Zero offense from bigs is an issue for this team

100 1
Mich_Mercer

Nothing crazy but shoot them when he’s wide open.

We just need them to be able to shoot a jump shot… I feel like Moussa can.

Vet_Picksetter

How many consecutive three-pointers missed by the hornets?

Mich_Mercer

57

But he doesn’t try to

TheDorkLord

we are cold

Mich_Mercer

We have no offense

This sucks….

Vet_Picksetter

Is it just me or are the Sixers holding and grabbing them a lot on the perimeter?

Chef

Gotta learn to win despite slumps. Playoff basketball

+1 1
Mich_Mercer

Cannot hit a shot

woodsy23

Love by the 3 die by the 3, just one of those nights

meloFan

I counted and I think we missed 13 3PTs in a row

it has been 13 missed 3pts since last made

+1 1
dnbman

PG with 5 fouls

Mich_Mercer

We just aren’t flowing well on offense either. We seem all frazzled when teams pressure us.

And two missed FTs

dnbman

Also BMill showing up the idol.

GoBobcats24

There's some BS going on here

meloFan

if this is overturned that is BS

dnbman

Kon and Melo at 6-30 is a big part of the story.

Mich_Mercer

Need to find Kon some open shots

Vet_Picksetter

Ain't got no flow

cltblkhscoach

Philly is mucking it up pretty good but we still have time

dnbman

Kon's about to get us going

Vet_Picksetter

Holy smokes kom

Kon

GoBobcats24

Nervous times here in Uptown, team showing a ton of heart

Mich_Mercer

Anyone feel some Embiid flops coming?

And some bad calls to lose us this game?

meloFan

Phila announcers are crying too much

Vet_Picksetter

The playoffs have already started with this tight race for positioning

cltblkhscoach

This is a playoff game boys

Sheesh

Crowd is incredible

Coach you're there, right?

Ugh

meloFan

We deserve this W, they got a free last second win earlier this season, so this should be ours

powellrmp

The anxiety

Vet_Picksetter

Thoughts on Grant in there instead of Diabate?

Nasty Melo

cltblkhscoach

Glad they challenged that smh

Flopping bs

Yeah I'm here @Vet_Picksetter

I would like to see Moussa

Grant hasn't given much on offense. Missed two free throws

That won't be overturned

Embiid is such a pussy

cltblkhscoach

Man how do you have no integrity

Chef

Trust the process

Mich_Mercer

I knew this flop shit was coming

How do you reward guys who do that?

Chef

Trust the process

Mich_Mercer

Bullshit

I guess we need to just fall over more

meloFan

Embiid is the type a guy to score 83 by attempting 43 free throws

Ridiculous

cltblkhscoach

Why is Moussa not in the game man

Thank you they put him in

meloFan

the 3pters that don't go in for us are all in-n-out

cltblkhscoach

They're doubling Kon off screens so they can play something off of that

Vet_Picksetter

Embiid will miss 5 games after jumping to make that block

rofl 2
cltblkhscoach

The details down the stretch have killed us so far

100 2
tnhornetsfan

Gotta be a catch and shoot. They're going to foul if you don't

Chef

Do that play they did with the fade to the corner a few weeks ago

meloFan

This feels like a Play-In Game loss

tnhornetsfan

Can't remember the last time we've shot this bad

meloFan

unlucky

powellrmp

Fuck man

dnbman

That's alright. Get it out of the system and move forward.

Mich_Mercer

Welp….

Looks like we will be in the playin. Needed this one

Icky_Thump

Kon took a hit this game oof

Mich_Mercer

The pressure always kills us.

cltblkhscoach

You can't ask for a better shot

Mich_Mercer

Reminds me of when the Heat pressured us on defense

cltblkhscoach

Given the circumstances

Mich_Mercer

Such a shame…

The 76ers always piss me off

cltblkhscoach

The failed rebound that led to a Paul George 3 was the play of the game to me. Melo had a turnover right after that and that put us behind the 8 ball

Mich_Mercer

Embiid always does. Always some bogus calls

meloFan

We gotta get our notebooks out and take notes for the PlayIn

Mich_Mercer

Sucks we had to take Moussa out bc he can’t shoot and use Grant instead

cltblkhscoach

For all the BS calls, that loss was on us. Moussa wasn't in the game for that missed rebound

Mich_Mercer

If Moussa develops any type of shot… look out

cltblkhscoach

Why Grant Williams played so much has to be a question Coach Lee is asked

dnbman

We'll grow from this and we won't probably won't shoot this bad again.

Mich_Mercer

I think its bc Moussa gets the ball at the top of the key wide open but can’t do anything with it, so it hurts the offense at times

cltblkhscoach

I get it, but what he brings every where else is more valuable than Grant Williams offense. Which hurt us

Mich_Mercer

It always sucks to lose but we definitely need to work on games like this. Need to keep handling the pressure when teams put it on us.

I agree… I’d rather have Moussa in there.

100 1
cltblkhscoach

I think it will help us ultimately for sure. But Philly is like us in the fact that they are better than their record too

+1 2
100 1
Mich_Mercer

I’m mad now… lol

cltblkhscoach

When they're healthy

Mich_Mercer

I’d like Embiid if he wasn’t such a pussy

cltblkhscoach

Oh it's a gut punch. I agree with whoever said it. I think we're in the play in now

100 1
Mich_Mercer

It was me. We must get the 7-8

He’s so good.

But cannot respect all that flopping. I feeel like hornets never flop

It’s sad the NBA rewards it

Chef

The report on the hornets is going to be up top pressure. They need to be able to handle the blitz

100 1
cltblkhscoach

I think that goes away in the playoffs though. Or it is heavily reduced

Philly changed coverages in the 4th. Doubled the ball handler more

Mich_Mercer

If Moussa could just shoot those jump shots… it would solve a lot of issues

cltblkhscoach

Played higher out on the floor. We got Embiid in pick and roll a couple of times

Mich_Mercer

But we’ve seen him hit some 3s… at the end of the shot clock

He’s a decent FT shooter too

cltblkhscoach

I'm just glad we won't see them in a series. We might see them in the play in though

Mich_Mercer

We’ll get the heat and the 76ers. lol

So I feel like he can develop a shot

We definitely need to the game tomorrow… but it will be tougher than this one.

rofl 1
cltblkhscoach

Depends. Celtics listed a lot of their starters questionable for tomorrow. They have a back to back with ATL on Monday

GoBobcats24

Must win tomorrow, 6-1 homestand would be good

tnhornetsfan

LaMelo and Kon go 10-40 on FGs and we lose by 4. It sucks to lose this game, but it's an anomaly. I don't think that happens again. Go get Boston tomorrow. My biggest concern is the minutes LaMelo has played last 2 games and another tomorrow.

cltblkhscoach

It will be interesting to see if we sit Coby and Grant tomorrow. They emptied the tank to try and win this one, and I'm fine with that
