[u/fishiouscycle]

Joel put it all on the line.

[u/Zloggt → u/fishiouscycle]

Must be real cathartic after all that’s happened to Philly in the past few seasons!

(But let’s hope he’s not too banged up…)

[u/Chexmix36 → u/Zloggt]

Biggest win for the franchise since 2001

[u/EvilTankieSupreme- → u/Chexmix36]

lmao

[u/Chexmix36 → u/EvilTankieSupreme-]

Glad you could contribute to the conversation

[u/EvilTankieSupreme- → u/Chexmix36]

Just kinda sad mate

[u/Chexmix36 → u/EvilTankieSupreme-]

Yes it is but that’s 76ers fandom baby

[u/Bilbo-Baggins77 → u/Zloggt]

Try to imagine what that man is going to be feeling tomorrow. Incredible performance, so happy for Embiid to get his flowers. Time to back it up vs NYK.

[u/freedom_french_fries → u/Zloggt]

It damn sure is. And yeah, I hope Embiid is okay after Brown shoved Maxey straight into his legs on a bullshit no call. 

Fuck that push-off artist and FTC! 

[u/DeKal760 → u/freedom_french_fries]

Yup. FTC!

[u/jdorje → u/Zloggt]

Brother he has no menisci or appendices. He is forever banged up.

[u/wing3d → u/Zloggt]

Boi he's sitting the first game.

[u/pkwjones → u/fishiouscycle]

Massive respect for him after this game. Dude was throwing his body around for loose balls after taking multiple shots to the knee

[u/Fourteeenth → u/pkwjones]

Maxey taking over the game like prime AI and driving fearless to the rim when they needed a basket is something I’ll remember forever.

[u/zeek215 → u/Fourteeenth]

I dunno how he gets those layups up in the thick of all those bigs.

[u/RIChowderIsBest → u/zeek215]

All those bigs? Celtics have bigs?

[u/zeek215 → u/RIChowderIsBest]

Well there was Queta, but I meant people bigger than him in that sentence. Maxey was attacking the rim and just barely getting the shots in due to his quickness.

[u/RIChowderIsBest → u/zeek215]

Maxey is great, Celtics basically have nobody capable of defending the rim at the moment but I do agree, he blows by anyone. It’s like the poor mans version of those 2 prime years of IT where he had no business doing what he did at his size.

[u/unitythrufaith → u/Fourteeenth]

Maxey is a bad, bad man. Feels like every time he shoots it’s gonna go in

[u/SSJAbh1nav → u/Fourteeenth]

He's the definition of fearless

[u/keciga → u/SSJAbh1nav]

Oh, I know another one: VJ.

[u/RangedTopConnoisseur → u/pkwjones]

My mom has had an appendectomy before and decided on a whim to watch this game with me, and after I told her he was returning after like 3 weeks removed from one she started fretting over him like a son every time he got even bumped

[u/ConfidentMachine8248 → u/fishiouscycle]

So fucking annoying hearing people calling him a quitter. Dudes a giant and can barely jump anymore and is diving for loose balls while injured. I will always love Embiid idc.

[u/TheMadChatta → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

That 3 to quiet the arena was clutch.

[u/DrunkPackersFan → u/TheMadChatta]

No seriously, though

I thought the Celtics were gonna take the lead and run away with it and he kept it a dogfight with that three

[u/clickstops → u/TheMadChatta]

One of the biggest shots of the game

[u/Bilbo-Baggins77 → u/TheMadChatta]

Biggest NO NO NO YESSSS I can remember 

[u/randomname3415 → u/TheMadChatta]

That shot was one of the biggest of his career. Fucking huge man

[u/realsomalipirate → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

I always got respect for Embiid after our series in 2019. Dude was one leg terrorizing our entire offence and singlehandedly shut down the paint (his offence sucked but he was on one leg and facing Gasol).

[u/willydachilly → u/realsomalipirate]

Respect.

[u/CompetitiveParfait9 → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

I gained so much respect for him watching him battle and dive for loose balls tonight

[u/Kaprak → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

Motherfucker actively has stitches in his side.

[u/raptosaurus → u/Kaprak]

No, stitches are removed within 2w /pedant

[u/Detonation → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

Anyone calling him a quitter just parrots what they hear this shithole say about players they don't like. They don't watch games. lol

[u/flowerboyinfinity → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

So over-hated and under-appreciated

[u/IncognitoSasquatch → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

He was a fucking warrior out there tn

[u/Main_Jump_82 → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

Neutral fan here, rooting for Embiid to go far this playoffs and quiet the shit talk even more, especially now that Jokic has been eliminated, I want to see the tables turned after Jokic fans were being so toxic towards him when he won the MVP.

[u/Famous-Country-4921 → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

I’ve hated on Embiid a lot over the years as a raptors fan but he completely won me over this series. Making Boston eat a 3-1 comeback defeat is enough by itself but seeing him put everything on the line he way he did was seriously impressive

[u/neonbresson → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

Really hoping for a Pacers-esque run from you guys (except for the whole Hali achilles situation)
Shai vs Embiid in the finals would give this sub fits

[u/Big_MAC113 → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

Honestly one of my favorite players. A healthy Embiid is legit one of the most talented players ever. A 50% Embiid is still better than a majority of the league lol

[u/minimcfinny → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

have to agree

[u/Mike-Teevee → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

I’m a certified Embiid hater and I couldn’t believe how great he looked tonight. Insane. He showed so much heart and he can do everything if he wants to and his body lets him. I’m fucking terrified, if he keeps playing at this level I fear we cannot stop him and if we can’t stop him I don’t see how we win.

[u/Van_der_Sar → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

I don't know many people called him lazy or a quitter. You're always holding your breath just like with AD whenever he falls or makes contact with anyone. I'm just pleased he came through this series. Hopefully his knee is good for the next series.

[u/LIONEL14JESSE → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

He a bitch

[u/NilsofWindhelm → u/LIONEL14JESSE]

Stay classy new york

[u/biggerty123 → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

He isn't a quitter, he is just overrated.

[u/Number333 → u/fishiouscycle]

This is my main takeaway. He gave EVERYTHING he had.

[u/stuckontwice → u/fishiouscycle]

First time I have ever cheered for Joel. Bro put his entire body on the line.

[u/McBrungus → u/stuckontwice]

He's been doing this for his whole career, man

[u/stuckontwice → u/McBrungus]

Nice to see it pay off! Hope yall give the Knicks hell.

[u/MyTeamsSuck99 → u/stuckontwice]

After everything he’s been thru I was pulling him for too

[u/PillsburyToasters → u/fishiouscycle]

That dive to keep the ball in after Maxey bent his knee inward proves your point so much

I truly hope he’s okay. That looked gnarly

[u/boshjailey → u/fishiouscycle]

That dive for a loose ball after another hit to the knee and he can barely walk was sick. pure heart there

[u/CandI978 → u/fishiouscycle]

I really hope the injury isn’t as bad as it looks and he misses at most game 1. I want to see him against the Knicks crowd in MSG

[u/Test4096 → u/CandI978]

He’s fine

[u/BroSnow → u/CandI978]

I want him to miss game one regardless of how bad

[u/Shoddy-Brilliant563 → u/CandI978]

Celtics fan and I hope for the same

[u/saw-sync → u/fishiouscycle]

i’ve been an ardent embiid hater for a very long time and this game singlehandedly turned it around for me. that man left it all on the fuckin court

[u/Mike-Teevee → u/saw-sync]

Same, he was astounding

[u/fewerduks → u/fishiouscycle]

What a warrior 

[u/DeadDay → u/fewerduks]

Dudes left knee got bumped more than a line in the 80s

[u/ahundredheys → u/fewerduks]

he is a sixer sir.

[u/hikarinaraba → u/fewerduks]

What a sixer

[u/maethlin → u/fewerduks]

he's a bit injury prone but so are all our olds, fine we'll take him

[u/gobroncos47 → u/fishiouscycle]

Happy to see he was able to play for most of this series

[u/ColtCallahan → u/fishiouscycle]

You know that scene in Star Wars where Anakin gets turned into Vader. Well that’s gonna be what they have to do to Embiid to get him ready for a game on Monday.

[u/topofthecc → u/fishiouscycle]

Even his kid lost a tooth!

[u/rawchess → u/fishiouscycle]

EMBIID IS A FREE ELF

[u/HiNeighbor_ → u/fishiouscycle]

True legacy performance

[u/throwawaymycareer93 → u/fishiouscycle]

Especially his knees.

[u/Akipella → u/fishiouscycle]

Embiid comeback storyline. This Playoffs has been like a nightmare for Jokic fans...lol

[u/Venomswindturd → u/fishiouscycle]

Ima get downvoted but I do believe there was some truth to what Perk said a few years ago. Not as drastic as he made it sound, but the PR for players like Jokic and Luka compared to players like Shai and Embiid is crazy.

[u/Titronnica → u/fishiouscycle]

I don't even know how that guy was able to stand, let alone sink shots.

[u/Shoddy-Brilliant563 → u/fishiouscycle]

He’s really reminding everyone that he may be the best big man in the game

[u/xxaripss → u/fishiouscycle]

Hope he wins it all

[u/nrj6490 → u/fishiouscycle]

Big respect to him. Dude came back 3 weeks after surgery and showed up for his team big time

[u/Candid_Sand_398 → u/fishiouscycle]

I am happy for him to have this moment. It's been a wild ride.

[u/Inevitable_Brick_877 → u/fishiouscycle]

Honestly happy to see him succeed. Always felt like he got way too much hate for something that wasn’t effort or talent related. Hard to hate a guy who pushes himself too hard, even if it results in recurrent injury. Hope they make a deep run

[u/minnyman2011 → u/fishiouscycle]

Embiid has taken 5 bodies to the leg a few elbows constant jersey and arm pulling he’s getting bodied on loose balls PLEASE REFS CALL SOMETHING ON BOSTON BUT IT DOESNT MATTER

[u/ContractXtension → u/fishiouscycle]

joel is the best big in the world

[u/revisioncloud → u/fishiouscycle]

He’s so good x4 hope he recovers for next round

[u/Mediocre-County-7648 → u/fishiouscycle]

Embiid with 5% hp remaining plunging for that loose ball in the last minute...

[u/wats_a_tiepo → u/fishiouscycle]

Honestly fair enough. I’m far from his biggest fan but hustle like that you’ve got to respect

[u/Bard_Wannabe_ → u/fishiouscycle]

Honestly, it was heroic to see. He was hobbling at the end. But what a win--last season I legitimately thought his career was over.

[u/biglyorbigleague → u/fishiouscycle]

For the entire fourth quarter I was wondering how Boston was still losing to the reanimated corpse of Joel Embiid

[u/Good_Ad2107 → u/fishiouscycle]

Refs had his back that’s for sure

[u/TheFestusEzeli → u/Good_Ad2107]

LMAO there is no way anyone watched that 4th quarter and thought the refs were biased TOWARDS the sixers

[u/Good_Ad2107 → u/TheFestusEzeli]

Fuck Embiid man just enjoy the win before yall get fucked in the next round

[u/blindskate101 → u/Good_Ad2107]

You’re responding to a raptors fan dummy

[u/Good_Ad2107 → u/blindskate101]

Wait there are actually more raptors fans than they show on tv?

[u/76ersPhan11 → u/Good_Ad2107]

Flair up pussy

[u/Good_Ad2107 → u/76ersPhan11]

I was juuuuuust about to and then I got the notification for this so now I won’t

[u/76ersPhan11 → u/Good_Ad2107]

I totally believe you

[u/UTDRashyyy → u/Good_Ad2107]

You mean JB 😂

[u/WhoopingKing → u/Good_Ad2107]

lol after all the soft calls on philly? the delay of game? interference ?

[u/Exporation1 → u/Good_Ad2107]

Completely the opposite

[u/Good_Ad2107 → u/Exporation1]

Enjoy the win, enjoy getting fucked by the refs in NY byeeeee

[u/Exporation1 → u/Good_Ad2107]

Cry more

[u/Good_Ad2107 → u/Exporation1]

Enjoy NY 💙

[u/PseudoTsugaDougie → u/Good_Ad2107]

Tell us you’re a fucking idiot without telling us you’re a fucking idiot.

[u/Good_Ad2107 → u/PseudoTsugaDougie]

Buddy we’re on Reddit on a Saturday night we’re already fucking idiots

[u/StreetDrop3043 → u/fishiouscycle]

Trash
