Afternoon game on the road. Hope the boys will be ready. Still going with Knicks in 5. Also I think Precious will be more valuable to us than Mitch in this series. Excited to see more minutes from him.

NO! F*ck that!!

It's time to go 90s KNICKS and send a "HARD" message to Embiid. Otherwise, the refs owe us a "make up" game for letting him get away with murder on the court last night -- and it will never end.

By the time we finish with him, that left eye should be working again!!

I said Im all for hard fouls and playing tough bro. Im just not into trying to intentionally injure people like Joel did. All that would do is get our guys ejected. They dont have the protection Joel does, and the retaliating team always gets harsher punishment.

Like what do some of you want us to do? Just run up and punch the guy? That is weak. Play mean, but play basketball.

I'm down for a rolling chop block or two.

Grab him by the pussy

A side kick to his bad knee will send him crumbling to the ground

I'm over it. Sportsmanship is for sportsmen and he's nothing of the sort. Fck that knt up

Every loose ball FT line below we need to be diving into Embiid kneecap

We’re not going to play dirty. That’s not who we are.

We will play hard though. That is who we are.

If DDV has a bounce back game, we can win. Need everyone to play laser focused from the tip. And we should probably hard trap Maxey on every pick and drive and just keep forcing the ball out of his hands. I’ll take my chances with the rest of them. Maxey has torched us almost every game this season… that’s 7 games now. We have to change it up.

Although this interview was made before game 3, but some points mentioned by Marbury still stand for this series.

That might not be who we've BEEN, but that's who we need to become. If the reigning MVP of the league is gonna throw a tantrum and throw sportsmanship out the window, we have no choice but to do the same, too!!

I agree. Being honorable is nice and all, but it isn't necessarily practical. If the Sixers are using dark magic, we can too, and we'll beat them and their gimpy whining fake MVP at it. **** Embiid.

I’ve sent about twenty emails to asilver@nba.com letting him know what a spineless POS he is for not suspending Embiid and that he looks like a used condom.
If that bitch won’t suspend Embiid then the players will have to make sure he misses at least one game by obliterating his Goonie Goo Goo ass.

We wont win this series until Thibs does what Lue and Kerr do… playing Anunoby at 5 and toy with them by playing super small

I can envision Randle walking up to him for their first game next season (if, ya know, he [Joel] ain't hurt), and telling him, "Try that sh*t on me."

[Jalen Bluntson]

Lock down Maxey with Deuce. Use Sims to play physical with Embiid. Throw bodies at him until he breaks!! All up in his ass from half court on! Make him work for everything.

He needs to take at least two shots to the nuts before they take his knee out.

I wish a had a time machine and could bring Oakley back for just 1 game to deal with this punk ass bitch Joel Embiid

[kNicksGmen]

need Divo and OG to step up - not sure we can keep relying on hart to score 20+ making 3s.

ihart staying out of foul trouble is key.

[sol537]

Embiid and Maxey have been historically efficient this series… wonder what would happen if we sent hard traps against both… the “others” can’t be as efficient can they?
