Philadelphia 76ers get the memes after being eliminated from playoffs

The Philadelphia 76ers got the meme treatment after losing a close Game 5 to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night that ended their season.

After trailing by 12 in the third quarter, the 76ers closed the third on a run and entered the fourth down by a point. The Sixers kept it close throughout the final quarter and even led by four with under two minutes to play. But they blew it at the end, as Joel Embiid lost a ball out of bounds with a chance to tie things with around 10 seconds left.

Twitter had the memes and jokes prepared as usual. Here’s a look at them:

Celts destroy Philly. No confetti. Cause confetti reserved for titles. They could learn a thing or to from city of champions. pic.twitter.com/8R6I3GwyUX
