Sixers getting spanked by the Cavs lol. Even without Embiid and Simmons, that's gotta hurt.

I think they clearly made a mistake not firing brown...

Honestly, I don't even think firing Brown would do much for PHI at this point with the way that team is constructed.

The Process ultimately netted PHI with Embiid + Simmons as the superstars, and now Simmons is out for a while and Embiid is already known for being injury-prone (and he suffered another one today). Unless PHI surprises everyone come playoff time, and I doubt they do, I see big changes coming from them this summer. Not just firing the coach.

Imagine paying $109 million for a backup center lol. It still makes me laugh when Sixers fans thought Brand was playing 4D chess with that move.

Joel Embid has injured his shoulder and will not return to the game. Things are really taking a turn for the worse down there. I feel bad for Embid cause he seems to have a lot of freak injury, but then again maybe some of it is tied to diet and conditioning.

Zizic got him, ouch!

Josh Jackson looks like he got much smaller than when he was drafted. He looks small.

I don't like the way the Rockets play defense since they've gone extra small.  Their strategy on the interior appears to be to just flop around, taking advantage of the fact that small players often get the benefit of the doubt on contact with big players.  It's ugly basketball.  And I say this as somebody who has no particular issue with the way Harden plays.

It was literally just "this guy kills us and is a well-respected competent vet so let's just ignore fit and age and throw the bank at him"

I think they were trying to hurt the Celtics and didn't think it through....

Yeah, it's not pretty and I'm not sure how it will look in the playoffs.

There are a ton of empty seats at the Rockets game.

I hate the rockets almost as much as I hate the 76ers

I'd probably stop watching basketball if I was a Rockets fan. I couldn't bear watching this ugly-ass basketball every day. I hope they get embarrassed in the playoffs.
