What is the pellet? Ask Philly. Success in the snatch against the 13th in the Western Conference on a shot from Joel Embiid one second from the end. As if nothing was ever easy. As if each time it was necessary to rely on individuality to get a whole group out of trouble. Victory is even better paid than a pet sitter » on the Azure Coast.
The pretty homemade boxscore is HERE!
1.1 seconds. The Sixers led just 1.1 seconds in the game. This “big” second is the lapse of time left by Joel Embiid’s near-buzzer shot. an ultimate fadeaway to pass while there is still space. Because waiting two seconds would have been too late. Because we have to re-establish the hierarchy before going to bed with the kids. Beyond this very indolent – and rather insolent – philosophy of life, the background of the Sixers’ game still does not breathe serenity. An ultra dominant Joel Embiid – 39 points at 13/20 shooting, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks – but too little movement around. A chef cannot hope for a star if he only sends a prime rib to the dining room. As tender as it is, the meat needs a little company on the plate. We’re not asking to stuff leeks with bluefin tuna, just a hint of reflection to circumvent what everyone expects. The De’Anthony Melton – Georges Niang – Danuel House Jr. triplet saved the furniture when coming off the bench. James Harden mishandled his money timeTobias Harris is accused of a 3/11 shooting, PJ Tucker – due to his discreet performance – will not be able to convict him.
And yet…
Philly managed to send the Blazers back to the airport. Jusuf Nurkic will unfortunately not always be there to miss two important free throws. Tyrese Maxey showed a bit in the final minutes. The only starter who goes back to the classics: a circle attack after a real movement off ball. No stopping on the spot by letting the clock run, because we are a bit of a boomer and find the action frozen in favor of a single player counter-productive. Well, Joel Embiid challenged this conviction by delivering his coup de grace a second from the end. Not the most constructed action in the world, but the efficiency was maximum.

Sad Blazers who do not win a basketball game after leading the entire game. Damian Lillard could have left Pennsylvania as a hero: his 3-pointer returned one minute from time finally blows the wind. Just like the XXL performance ofAnfernee Simons, author of 34 points at 8/12 from the parking lot. Jerami Grant accompanied him in his quest (fair) victory with a double-double to 24 points and 10 rebounds. Shaedon Sharpe spent 17 minutes exploding the white buttons on the ball. Really bad match from the rookie. Her plus/minus of -19 made bad publicity at League Pass. Evening also complicated for Jusuf Nurkic, pierced on one side, transparent on the other. The Bosnian never found the solution against Joel Embiid, until conceding the fadeaway too much. And at the same time, who wouldn’t have conceded? Rudy Gobert for sure. You know the French have a bit of nerve.
DAME LILLARD. ICE COLD. 🥶🥶🥶
