1. The only defence against Embiid is to hope that he misses the 2 free throws

2. Wow. What a game!

   Embiid is an absolute monster. Poole was lights out. Warriors really exhibited their pedigree down the stretch – huge win for them

   This would be a really fun Finals matchup.

3. Whole Sixers team outside of Joel sold so hard down the stretch.

4. I’m in Tahoe right now staring at the play-by-play just waiting for a choke and

   THEY ACTUALLY FUCKING DID IT

   WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN

5. I love it when Poole remembers he’s good at basketball lmao.

6. POOLE PARTY

7. The Warriors are the West favorites no one can change my mind on that

8. There’s no fucking way this is the same warriors team that goes on the road. No fucking shot

9. the Warrior’s three-guard lineup is definitely matchup dependent, but the 4th quarter shows the potential of it.

   the sixers tonight were similar to the nuggets in round 1 last year. one huge problem at center, but not so much perimeter offense and defense that you can’t survive putting Poole out there (also credit to his defensive effort).

   when they can survive it defensively and Poole makes good decisions, having those three shooters out there just stretches defenses to the absolute extreme.

10. POOLE PARTY!!!

11. It’s insanely hard to beat the Sixers when Korkmaz plays but the Warriors was able to do it. Gratz.

12. If Wiggins was active (especially with GP2 coming back) they would be my favourites in the west.. I just can’t do it without Wiggs man

13. I am so fucking proud of Looney man. That was so fucking hard against Embiid.

14. Reporter: How do the Golden State Warriors outrebound the 76ers?

15. Poole was so clutch in the 4th quarter with the 19 points

16. WTF even is this team?

17. This game really goes to show Harden’s value as a playmaker. When The Beard is on the court, you just feel safe in knowing that the correct decision is going to be made. This game was a total clusterfuck

18. A really entertaining watch where the game was tied or a <2-point game the whole time.

    I almost felt bad for Embiid, the role players really failed him tonight.

19. Those open corner 3s PJ kept passing were unbelievable lol

20. After alll this, the Warriors gonna are just win the chip again aren’t they

21. Poole is getting the all star whistle and honestly he deserves it. He was nuts tonight

    Joel’s decision to just be a good passer is wild lol he’s always said he could if he wanted but never really showed that that was consistently true. Lately he just said aight I’ll show ya. Still not an elite playmaker by any means but being able to find the open men when he draws doubles and triples has been the singular thing missing in his game

22. Was that Poole’s best game of the season? Because he would not fucking miss at one point.

23. Jordan Poole played like Dua Lipa, Rihanna, and Kendall Jenner were all sitting courtside

24. When the Steph Curry floater is automatic, no defense that has ever existed can stop him.

    &#x200B;

    Thats what happened in the 4th quarter

25. This is why Poole was paid. He can give you absolute explosions on par with Steph/Klay that can bring you back for on double digits or blow a game open. But he’s wild rollercoaster, you have to take these games along with the ones where he stupidly turns the ball over.

    Also, damn, Embiid left it all out on the floor. Nothing but respect for the guy, I like Jokic, but Joel should be the MVP favorite right now.

26. Watching the Warriors offense is like watching an abstract painter start a painting and go through the process until you finally realize what he is painting towards the end..

    I love the communication especially from the older guys, one of my favorite teams to watch

27. chase center might as well be an mvp candidate at this point lol
