We will get Thybulle back tonight...it should help with the Blazers guards. Looking for a huge game from Maxey

As per usual, refs are just brutal tonight, Maxey gets absolutely hammered on a drive no call and then at the end of the quarter, Kork get nailed in the gut on a last second 3 try. Both calls are must haves. I know the NBA is trying to call less fouls, but those are ridiculous none calls.

Sixers once again collapse at the end of a quarter...8-0 run for the Blazers. Toby missing all his jumpers tonight

Sixers should literally grab their shit and leave the arena....some of the worst calls/none calls you ever see. And Doc Rivers is just a horrific coach. Sixers have 11 points in the last 10 minutes and I have no idea what the fuck he is doing on offense. He is not involving Maxey at all....dude has been ballin and you have him in Siberia.

But seriously no bullshit this game is being called 100% one sided....Tobias Harris the most melo dude ever is losing his mind at these non-calls

Offense doesn’t flow that freely when Tobias is back.

A disturbing and disgraceful half of basketball from the referees in this game. I am watching the Portland broadcast and even their announcers are laughing at some of these calls.

With 4 minutes left in the 2nd quarter Simmons goes on a drive and missed and the refs call Toby for ball in the cylinder interference...replay showed he never touched the ball. Lilliard keeps getting fouls call when he has the ball 35 feet from the basket on hand touches.

Simply amazing

Also, Drummon is showing why he is playing for the minimum....great backup, horrible starter.

Curry and Kork need to get their games going...both have been shooting the Sixers out of games as of late...both coming off minor injuries, but still need them shooters to shoot!

Maybe an idea for the 2nd half?

Don't let Lillard and McCollum score all the points they want.

Make someone else beat you.

Korkmaz and Curry absolutely stinking up the joint out there.

Virtually zero contributions, on either end.

That's a problem.
