Itstrainingtime

They looked like a defeated team last night.

Yes, I know what I'm talking about. I've been going to games since 1975. I've been to close to 800 games in person. I know the game pretty well... I'm not arguing about Simmons. I agree with you - but what did Embiid shoot over the final 8 minutes? Look at every elite team in recent history...every one of them had a star. Did MJ disappear in the final minutes? Lebron? Kobe? Of course not. The ball ended up in their hands, and they delivered. Embiid is our man. Last night, down the stretch, he had multiple turnovers, 2 HUGE missed free throws, and very little else. Yes, no one else did a damn thing. I get that. I was there. I can tell you that there were others leaving last night saying the same thing that I am now. While he had no help other than from Seth, he did nothing in the final minutes other than turn it over. Sorry, that's just the facts. I'll go now. Thought this could be a place to talk and not be insulted.

You guys know how I feel today? Imagine us all going to bed at 11pm on a winter's night with the promise of 2' of snow coming the next day. Then waking up to Partly Sunny and nothing at all. It's a sucker punch and I'm pissed. Moving on to better things...

No leader on the floor. Atlanta was down big, you could see it...feel it...they were unfazed. You could sense that they honestly thought they would come back. I don't like Trae Young, but man, he has been so clutch down the stretch so many times in the postseason already. Once they got the lead under double digits...you could see it...feel it...the Sixers were defeated. When it got to 104-96 Philly, I "knew" the game was over. You could sense it. Embiid disappeared when we needed him most.

Dwayne Haskins will turn those frowns upside down.

@Birds~69 my point is...Embiid is our "money guy." Yet, what is our record in games decided by less than 10 points in the playoffs? I believe it's 1-4. That's not #1 seed worthy. With a superstar it should be better than that. He's not delivering down the stretch.

Can't argue your points. Wish you could be more respectful of mine. Trae has stepped up late in how many games? Embiid has not. That's how I see it.

I had Flyers season tickets in the 90s. Gave them up because it was a hassle on Saturdays to get from Philly to Hersheypark arena for the Bear's game that night. Yes, I had both simultaneously. Now, I just have the 76ers. Why, I do not know...

If the Euro is still truly the king of models, exhibit A of why I refuse to model hug. (in the winter) Perfect recipe for a whole lot of disappointment. They are a tool, nothing more or less. End rant.

My son (26) and I own season memberships. I have told him since day #1 this team will sink at the stripe. It's sickening how bad as a team the Sixers are...but yeah...Simmons is embarrassing.

In fairness - while both were absent when needed most, look at the last 7-8 minutes of the game. While Young was doing his thing for ATL, WTF was Embiid? After an amazing first 3 quarters, he disappeared when we needed him most. I'm also growing tired of his constant flopping. Own the paint and dominate and stop begging for free throws.

Saw a Knicks game at MSG back in 2014. Had been on my bucket list for years to see a game at the Garden. Great experience...can only imagine what it was like during the glory years.

What a godawful night in South Philadelphia last night. I had literally renewed my membership hours before the game. I'm sick.

I did see a fascinating cricket down on the trail the other day.

76ers franchise history - last night was their 166th game leading by at least 20 going to the 4th quarter. Prior to last night, they were 165-0.

LOL - I was reading down through the posts, saw Canderson's and responded before even seeing yours. Not a happy night for me last night.

76ers took a mid-game break and forgot to come back.

Agreed - and I realize it most when there's snow on the ground. Snow melts so quickly, even with temps FAR below freezing if the sun is shining. Even in January.

I'm at 70...

Next week we hit the solstice and start the journey of shorter hours of daylight until late December. (even if it's cool next week...sun angle these days is brutal)

50.6 (51) here for my low. Feeling left out of the 40s club.

There's a lot of video out there of the PA flooding during Agnes...and in a lot of the video, people are wearing jackets. (I was 7 at the time and don't remember that level of specifics without seeing the video years later)

Whitetail might fire up the guns tonight.

You're in the chill zone, already at 70 here now.

64 and spectacular at 8:30am. Hard to say anything negative at all about the weather in front of us, but as @Bubbler86 alluded to, one concern is the potential to dry out once again very quickly.
