Minnesota's bench has been mostly brutal tonight.

Jaden needs to be involved

Hopefully we can take advantage, but we keep falling further behind.

How is that not a foul on Reed?!?! Whether it’s off Ant or not shouldn’t matter. These refs are horrible.

Philly seemed like a bad recipe for us tonight. Those guys have been juiced up like crazy the last couple of weeks, we could like maniacs and Embiid is a foul attracting magnet. I didn't like the look of this game on paper. I hoped we could play a cleaner game tonight and get past it but that has not been the case, he feasted on our fouls.

Kyle was actually good on Embiid defensively. Should have gone to that earlier because Embiid is facing up, not posting up.

Comes down and fouls Jaden in transition no call. Next play fouls Ant on the dunk no call. Earlier KAT goes for the putback and Embiid clearly fouls him. 3 easy examples which with his 3 fouls is fouled out. Feasting on our fouls is at best 1/3 of the story with these refs.

Are you not annoyed? Irritated?

+/- of bench today are brutal. Naz with -26 lol . KAT, Conley and Gobert actually have positive +/-

Embiid reaches in on Naz and Jaden called for the take foul. Story of the game.

Nurse has outcoached Finch tonight imo....some of Finch's decisions with rotations today have been baffling. Didn't react quickly to Philly's decision to double Ant

You really cant touch this loser

Finch is in a tight spot with both foul trouble and a game tomorrow.

I wont deny Embiid gets an amazing whistle but that's the story with him, he gets a great whistle and he knows how to maximize that. We still need to overcome that. He haven't been able to do that so far tonight. Philly has been able to play to their strengths and they are beating us so far with their game. Got to give them credit.

The bench outside of NAW has been beyond brutal. So many WTF moments. And I despise Embiid, his whining and how protected he is by the refs. But this is a tip your hat game, Maxey/Embiid haven’t missed. I’m confident in a seven game series we win.

No foul there either, smh.
