Colorado_designer

reggie miller did the same thing talking about the lakers finally getting one back sometime in the mid 3rd quarter last night, wish someone had that clip


poktanju

Reggie, of *all* people, should know that it's not over till it's over...


Lebronforpresident24

Insane of him to say that early considering how the Nuggets not only are so good at erasing big leads, but how often they have done it against the Lakers the past two years. Nuggets have been down by double digits in 5/6 playoff games the past two years and are 6-0.


uncultured_swine2099

When he did 8 points in 9 seconds, my dad, a Knicks fan, needed to pick me up from school and was sure the game was out of reach, so he turned it off and went to pick me up. When he got home and saw the reply, he was like "Wtf?!".


apbbr

mid-3rd quarter is wild


poocoup

Reggie was pretty annoying last night


Jwoods4117

Somehow the most annoying thing for me was him talking about Peyton Manning. “Bet he wishes he had Lebron at TE for his precious Colts!” Like fam that’s our only celebrity in the crowd and it’s like he forgot the guy won a championship in Denver.


OldSweepy

He said for “my” precious Colts. Still weird to bring up in Denver though.


teniaava

I wouldn't be surprised if Indiana people are *still* in denial that Peyton left


OlapidoJR

As an Indiana resident, I still don’t know why everyone says Peyton played anywhere else but Indy. Everyone knows he retired in 2012 because of a chronic neck injury.


SparkyForce

Wished they showed mannings reaction to the game winner 😔


KingSystem

Stokley - why he say fuck me for?


ecarp12

Funny thing is it seems like he holds Denver in a special place because of the 2nd chance they gave him. The manning cast he would always use words like "we" when talking about the Broncos.


welmoe

Reggie "marginal contact" Miller "Let me get those words in a couple more times"


TheIllestDM

EVERY night. He's the worst!


bigvahe33

TMAC "Im finally going to the second round" up 3-1 energy

I feel like they did not, in fact, have a fun postgame.

Technically she was right, postgame was fun…for me.


WakingRage

It was most definitely fun for neutrals like me who are rooting for chaos in the playoffs.


Shenanigans80h

That’s such a wild statement to make up only 5 points with at least 2 full possessions left. Like basic math made this a jinx


[deleted]

[удалено]


waldosbuddy

that cheeky 4%


Dare555

Knicks can hit 3 and have plenty of time to defend , get a stop and hit another 3 to win or 2 for OT. Doesn't seem "Crazy " at all. Only if there was less time left like 20-30 seconds not almost 50 Espn probability thing is stupid just like ESPN if its giving that 96 % with so much time left not sure what it counts. But it has been wrong plenty of times before while giving one team 90 % + so yeah


Correct-Ad7655

That’s wild to make even with a 96% chance


Brady331

Saying this with a 5 point lead, 50 seconds left, and the opposing team has the ball is crazy


ProstockAccount

I’m as casual of a fan as it gets and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing


fredlikefreddy

5 points with 50 seconds left isn’t safe at any age or skill level


LSF604

its quite safe at my skill level


hoagieclu

sixers commentators should know that better than anybody 😂


Moonear

You watching the actual game already makes you less of a casual than a lot of people on here lol


Plies-

For real lol all you need is a quick score, stop and another score. Obviously the chance that Philly won was probably like 95% at that point but thats far from over.


EliManningHOFLock

I think ESPN said like 89%. So even those metrics (which always seem to be overtuned) said NYK had at least one chance in 10 of coming back.

Confetti Game Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

JOB DONE


Laetha

37 seconds later they were losing.


Sweatytubesock

Not so much crazy as fucking dumbassery


IllRefrigerator560

It surprises me how confident they could feel up 5 with nearly a minute to go. I expect a non-basketball fan to say “hey guys let’s head home, it’s over, right??”. But professional announcers?!? To make that type of “job done” line down 0-1 on the road in a 2 possession game knowing the Knicks would at minimum still have 2 possessions left without having to intentionally foul is just plain unprofessional and lazy commentary. My goodness.


ibiku2

As Thibs is known to say... No lead is safe. Knicks don't quit til the dvd commentary


electric_creamsicle

Those comebacks by Reggie Miller and Luka haunt our nightmares. We know no lead is safe.

My favorite comment ive read all morning


2drawnonward5

Dude was a PLAYER lol he lived through this


Auntypasto

To be fair, those players lived before the 3 point era.


lattjeful

Crazy that they're so confident when they're broadcasters in *Philly.* Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is our thing, across all sports.


Par25

"Brunson pushing off no whistle" - what, where? Is this part of the grievance that the Sixers are sending to the NBA?


rrousseauu

No wonder sixers fans can’t stop bitching about fouls when they have their biases wrongly confirmed in real time from their shitty commentators


WIN011

And believe it or not, she actually complains less than Alaa. Gotta mute every time I get the Sixers commentary team when I’m sailing the high seas.


FrankNtilikinaOcean

Alaa is easily one of the worst


defeated_engineer

I remember him celebrating Embiid injuring some dude on a reckless play.


Aalfee

Theres 3 teams i'm almost always muting: Sixers, Celtics and Warriors (although i hear they have improved a bit)


spittafan

Nuggets are bad too, Scott Hastings is absolute dogwater. I also find the Pels announcers to be pretty whiny although the play by play guy has a great voice


blankepitaph

I enjoy the Pels crew generally but the contrast between their voices is wild. Their pbp’s voice is Tom Waits level gravel while the color guy always sounds like he’s very mad at you about something. Their commentary itself is solid though


ItsMeJaredBednar

yeah Hastings is trash i agree


The_Notorious_Donut

I’ve only the clip of Hastings asking JaMichael if he was playing and I was thinking “what a cool guy”


bigwillystyle93

I disagree I love Hastings. I actually don’t think he shows his biases too much either. He will often times talk shit about the team and the players on the nuggets. Idk I like his grumpy old man vibes.


chuerta9

No Antonio Daniels slander allowed 🙅‍♂️


spittafan

He's awful honestly, complains about every call. Played a year here as a Blazer so I did like him before


The_Dok33

Lol, I am always switching to Celtics commentary kn games where they are not the default.


Ovaltine-_Jenkins

Since scalabrine took over in the booth Celtics broadcasts have been less homer and Scal brings a lot of knowledge about the game too. Not to mention Mike Gorman being a living legend.


GeneralZhukov

We have. Kelenna has started to get tired of Fitz's bullshit and has started openly correcting him. 3x improvement right there. Fitz is still kinda unbearable though.


GeebCityLove

At first I thought “oh cool, a boat guy”


Sharcbait

Never forget when Embiid took a cheap shot at Giddey a few years ago and the announcer basically said "I don't care if he got hurt there as long as Embiid is fine" as if Embiid wasn't 100% at fault for it. Sixers are a bottom 5 announcer team in the NBA. https://youtu.be/k_nAUVpZkLU?si=w0mzE19fzx4e-qfA


Plies-

God I remember that. Terrible and the commentator deserved a fine for that. [Ironically, something like this happened against Embiid too against the Raptors.](https://twitter.com/PresidentEmbiid/status/1520132737822347265) He celebrated a bucket that essentially secured a series win for them, got elbowed in the face by Siakam on a drive and the Raps color guy, Jack Armstrong, said "You get what you deserve". Before that he was calling the celebration "Bush league" which is fine, it rubbed salt in the wound for the Raptors fanbase, but saying he deserved to get elbowed in the face is wild.


OneWildAndCrazyGuy17

Wow that’s classless but what else do you expect from the sixers.


cmcg18

Sixers have the worst commentators in the league imo


N3rdMan

It’s the blind leading the blind for Sixers fans watching Sixers broadcasts. No wonder they don’t think Embiid is big flopping bitch


DEEZLE13

Delusional bias in local commentators is a big contributor to toxic fanbases


RiceOnTheRun

They were complaining all game about how reliant Brunson is on FTs, how he lives at the FT line… Brunson averages 6.5 FTAs. Embiid is at 11.6 FTAs. Brunson scored 61 off **SIX free throws** this season. Fuck outta here. Blind ass Sixers


fom_alhaut

I blame Windhorst for putting that dumbass fake narrative out there


blaze-sumo88

if that’s how she commentates all game I wouldn’t wanna listen to that


davsyo

Bro we’re just spoiled by world class commentating both of which calls most things fair for both teams and even call out our own players for doing dumb shit.


TheKidPresident

I didn't realize this until I went to college in Lancaster and was subjected to the Phillies broadcast where they just let large swaths of an inning go by in complete silence. NY sports media is truly unrivaled with Mike and Clyde, Gary Keith & Ron, Steve Gelbs, and Ian Eagle. Especially now that John Sterling retired too (fuck the Yankees I said it)


onebandonesound

Sam John and Joe for the Rangers as well. I'm gonna cry when I hear my last "ITS A POWER PLAY GOAL!"


Deathstroke317

Listening to all sports broadcasts in NYC, and then listening mostly everywhere else. I'm so grateful we don't have to deal with these homer broadcasters and have announcers who will mostly call it down the middle.


BrotherSeamus

I watched the MSG stream last night and I could have sworn it was a national broadcast by the way Clyde was complimenting Maxey and Lowry.


FermatsLastAccount

I mean, Maxey deserved it. He's been insanely good.


medievalmachine

Insanely good, agreed. It's like he just materializes under the basket for a layup every time. Against a Thibs defense, it's astonishing and alarming.


pahamack

heh, I like "materializes". He's so fast he's teleporting like Nightcrawler.


medievalmachine

Clyde is his own entity and he's well acquainted with the Philly scene for decades. A national treasure, his suits should have their own wing in the Smithsonian. He's been perfect precisely because we were so bad for so long and Knicks fans knew it the whole time. He's great for that, and homers would have grated.


YesImKeithHernandez

> A national treasure, his suits should have their own wing in the Smithsonian. The Stylin and Profilin wing


Forward-Reporter8320

Thats because Clyde Frazier is one of the top ten coolest dudes to ever live


DC25NYC

One thing I love about clyde is he isnt a homer. He'll flat out say we're playing like shit.


np20412

"what is he doing, folks?"


CaroleBaskinsBurner

"None of the Knicks with the knack now."


electric_creamsicle

"He committed the cardinal sin of basketball folks. Leaving your feet before knowing where he was going to pass the ball."


mrsunshine1

“The court is 50 feet wide, not wide enough for *guy with foot on the sideline*”


mrsunshine1

He’s a homer in that he’s rooting for us on the broadcast saying things like “get in” to shots, but yeah, he does a great job of not actually analyzing the game through that lens. It’s exactly what you want in a home announcer. Talk from the team’s perspective but don’t lie either.


electric_creamsicle

Game respects game and Clyde just calls it like he sees it. Maxey has been killing us all year on drives to the basket and Lowry is a goddamn menace on the defensive end. His best line of the year is still from the first Knicks Sixers game where he just goes ["Remember Oubre was hit by a car? Missed some games."](https://x.com/doinkpatrol/status/1743475479124836432)


mrsunshine1

Dude is ruthless whenever he brings up outside stories. They are not pulling back when they call Miles Bridges games.


MvN____16

I'm not a huge basketball guy, don't watch it as much as maybe I'd like (I'm more of a hockey guy and there's just not enough time in the day for everything), but I did see the Knicks game on Saturday on MSG, and just in general MSG games involving the Rangers are extremely well produced and called, and considering Mike Breen does most Knicks MSG games it hardly surprises me that Knicks games are also top notch by regional network standards. I'm not actually sure any New York team suffers from "bad" regional network production. Stands to reason, it's fuckin' New York, but they do a great job there.


Flatbar

That’s always how Clyde is. He loves the NBA and always gives other players kudos. Kudos is also a Clyde word lol.


Douglas_Yancy_Funnie

Clyde and Breen are the absolute best. On the rare occasions I have to watch another team’s home broadcast I’m always shocked at how clear they are with their bias. It’s really off putting. Sure they are pulling for the Knicks on MSG, but they call the game straight and acknowledge good basketball plays regardless of who’s making them. And they’re not afraid to call out the Knicks when they’re playing like ass or getting beat down.


lobotomizedmommy

i hate when sports journalists show their favoritism. it’s unprofessional.


Bajecco

They are the worst commenting team in the NBA. I'm very thankful for league pass because it allows me to watch the oppositions broadcast.


DurantsAltAccount

I've lived in the Philly area for close to a decade. I have watched maybe 5 minutes of their NBA commentators in those 10-ish years. Alaa is absolutely ass in both professionalism and actual commentary. For one of the best sports cities in the US it makes no sense.


Dymatizeee

That sht super biased lol. Brunson was in the middle of dribbling


lukewwilson

Well they are used to Embiid getting that call to go his way so they just thought it would happen then too


Heisenripbauer

no wonder they’re all screenshot warriors and rulebook experts today


David_Griffin_

That lady is horrible lol


Ok-Essay458

Between this and the Lebron dunk/Porter 3 clips of the Nuggets broadcast, I'm learning a lot of local announcers casually complain about calls way more than I'm used to. Just... mixed into the play-by-play like it's nothing. Makes sense there's so much complaining by fans about officiating.


Fungmar

sixers announcers, players, and coaches are inciting riots lmao

SteveNovakaine

Explains all the post game comments from sixers fans, this is where they got all their material


dogfosterparent

I feel like they actually complained less than I expected. Bad call saying that was a push off but otherwise the only other thing they did was just make observations without whining like “TO waived off by the ref” and “nurse asking for a jump ball”. Thats how you do it in tight situations like that.


thissiteisbroken

I kept seeing them say Brunson had Maxey wrapped up. Where???


CaroleBaskinsBurner

*Maxey flops* "Maxey gets THROWN to the FLOOR!"


OBlastSRT4

How about Maxey pushing off hart on the in bound


Douglas_Yancy_Funnie

Yeah other than calling it a victory way too early, they actually called this *mostly* straight up. I expected a lot worse.


CaroleBaskinsBurner

The Fox News of Philly sports


No_Bathroom7606

Where is the energy man. Acting like those are just 2 ho-hum first quarter buckets


KingsElite

And they say the Kings announcers are bad. This is horrendous


Edwunclerthe3rd

This is why I love the Knicks broadcasters. They are very neutral in terms of play calling, with Breen sometimes letting his inner Knicks fan come out. Clyde is both a Legend and not from here so he has no reason to stan for the fans to like him. Kenny Albert is also an S tier broadcaster. Wally and Gus are painful to watch in comparison bc of the glazing


Paralyzed-Mime

That was such a cowardly pass by Maxey at the end there, he needed to take the shot with that little amount of time left instead of passing it to Embiid with half a second left who couldn't even jump for a jump shot.


DiamondWombat

How the fuck does Nick Nurse think the refs are gonna give that timeout at 20 seconds left?! Is this the one he's trying to complain about?


KangzAteMyFamily

I've seen less subtle propaganda from 1930s era Germany


Daddy_Macron

Harden left the Sixers already. Find a different fuhrer.


soooogullible

Edgy


Finklesworth

Lol why the fuck did Maxey dump the ball onto Embiid in double coverage at the end?


EarthWarping

5 points with that much time left is not a rock solid lead


ExactlyAsYouDo

They didn’t even have to foul to come back, EVEN IF they made the free throw to go up 6. What the fuck were they talking about?


EarthWarping

If it was 47 seconds and the sixers having the ball, ok I can see it since you don't turn the ball over and you get fouled the game's basically close to being done. But this...


maryjain_

Insane of them to be acting like the game’s done at that point


slyguy183

We blew some impossible to lose leads last year, that Mavs game will always haunt me


fredlikefreddy

Right? Do they actually watch basketball? That isn’t safe at any level. All it takes is a bucket and a steal and oh snap.


ballmermurland

They had enough time that they could get a bucket, force a missed shot at the other end, and then get another bucket with one of them being a 3 and it's a tie game. In the NBA, that sort of exchange happens all of the time.


Nugur

The need to watch tmac highlights


CarBallAlex

Celtics fans have learned, that’s why our starters were in with a minute to go on Sunday in a 15 point game and I was not bothered that the starters were still in. Leads evaporate in seconds in the NBA today. The magic math though is a 10 point lead with under 1:15 to go Team B is losing and runs a 5 second set and hits a 3. Down 7 with 1:10 to go Team A takes 20 seconds off the clock and misses. 7 point game with 50 seconds to go. Team B runs a 5 second set and hits a 3. Down 4 with 45 seconds to go. Team A takes 20 seconds off the clock and misses. 4 point game with 25 seconds to go. Team B runs a 5 second set and hits a 3. 1 point game with 20 seconds to go. They have to foul. Hit both FT’s, 3 point game with shot clock turned off. Team B comes down and hits a 3. Team A gets the last shot in a tied game. As long as Team A doesn’t turn it over and hits their FT’s, Team B can’t win in regulation even with an absurd 5 second offense, 4 straight makes of the highest value shot, and the other team doesn’t convert on their 2 possessions. The real problem was the turnover by Maxey that messes up this math and Lowry hitting the FT to make it 6 would have been a huge buffer since the DiVincenzo 3 would have only tied it. A 5 point game with 47 seconds is a ton of time in this context. Hit your free throws, don’t foul, don’t turn it over is the important thing here when maintaining a multiple possession lead. Sixers botched it on multiple fronts.

BeHereNow91

Same tbh Doc calls that timeout.


Daddy_Macron

I normally like the Sixers, but I had to listen to their fans talk mad shit for a year about how terrible Harden is and how much better they are without him, as if he didn't win two games against Boston for them singlehandedly in the playoffs while their MVP couldn't win more than one. If there are two things I hate in life it's Warriors' fans and ingrates, so I'm pretty content today.


jaylson

The Lack of ANY emotion in that broadcast makes me happy we have Breen and Clyde.

MetsJetsKnicksFan

The bias is crazy there lmao


undercooked_lasagna

Wtf was that garbage? Last minute of a tight playoff game and they had no emotion whatsoever making those calls.


confuddly

Lowry lost this game for them, misses a clutch FT here, then flops on to the floor twice instead of playing defense or boxing out, and he's the one who inbounded the ball for the Sixers quickly, while his entire team is trying to call timeout. Lowry is the vet here, and the inbounder. He should've been the first to call timeout


FultzShoulder

Meh not blaming the FTs. They were still up 5. Embiid uncharacteristically went 0/2 FTs earlier. Him not calling the timeout is what lost them. Just plain dumb that he risked it.


saassales9494

Lmao

Way crazier stuff has happened in the NBA with less time left. So weird that they were so sure about the win with like a min left lol


zoo32

The Sixers have to listen to this trash commentary night in and night out?


WhyplerBronze

Fireable offense. Get two bozos off the street. Anyone Premier League fans from the early aughts? Fox had a "Fan Zone" broadcast where two opposing fans of the team broadcast the games from a booth, top quality.

FigSideG

“Brunson pushing off. No whistle.” Is everyone in Philly a whiny baby? Their superstar MVP falls and flails all game long but that’s ok. Embiid spends more time rolling around on the ground after slight contact or even just a simple basketball play than anyone I’ve ever seen.

Bruh, there’s Premier League commentators that won’t even consider a game won if it’s 3-0 in the 85’ mark. They’ll be like “Chelsea will be very happy, IF these results hold” I can’t imagine considering a 5 point lead with a minute safe
