@mariner4life crazy. That was garbage time. They were down by plenty and no need to go for that last shot. But the standing over him was too much. Then the same guy grabbed a chair. That'll be him. Allan Iverson almost went to jail for that and they didn't even have it on film. Albeit Iverson allegedly hit someone with the chair.

@raznomore yeah AI got fucked on that. Poor bastard
I’ve never been able to figure out if AI is really “about that life” or that incident forced him into an image he decided to adopt.
He seems like nice guy that played gangsta and ended up losing his career because of it.

De Sousa is gooooooorne for that. The guy who stole the ball and got blocked did nothing, just lay there afterwards. Smart man.
Never understood the garbage time rage, just play the game to the whistle. De Sousa got a great block on him anyway, so let that be the "lesson" re: garbage time and leave it. Idiot.

Have you watched the AI doco on netflix. He got fucked.

Watching a bit of the 76ers lately, who seem to be doing just fine without Embiid. Simmons has really stepped up, and Horford is clearly relishing the more prominent role.
One of the reasons I love the NBA. Not sure of any other sport where a team could actually improve after losing it's best player. Now it's clearly a short-term thing and they need Embiid to compete in the playoffs, but it's an interesting sub-plot and you have to think if they don't get to the Conference Finals they may think about trading either Simmons or Embiid.

trading either Simmons or Embiid.
they should do it this year. They can't play both, it actually makes them both worse players. Both have big trade value, they could get the right pieces in and have a real go this year.
Sixers will be a good playoff team because their defense is excellent.

Zion’s first game, load management means he’s only playing in 4 minute bursts

if the game thread i just read is to be believed, it's because Zion is too fat to play any more

He just scored 14 points off 3 pointers and an alley oop in about 4 minutes. Bloody stat padder....

Zion Williamson already more 3-pointers in his career than Ben Simmons

Admittedly not difficult. I think Dwight Howard has more 3s than Ben
