Exactly!

Hopefully, the refs will go back to calling the game fairly on Sunday.

He has to be more aggressive. he's too passive for my liking on offense.


He’s a defense first player, games like this are about the best you’re getting on offense, he’s not a true 2nd or maybe not even 3rd scoring option

I hope Thibs keeps getting on these refs. Joel should've been ejected in the 1st.

Other than that, difference in this game was crazy 3rd quarter, Divo duds, and FTs. Nauseating.

I think that Lowry hit had him seeing stars. He just didn't look the same after.

It is up to Thibs to make adjustments now

I don't think he knows how to do it in the middle of a game unfortunately, so I'd hope he can get his fill of tape and make the changes needed

Epic shooting performance by Embiid and some of it was not defensible, but some of it was and it became too easy for the Sixers to feed him on the perimeter. It allowed him to conserve energy and keep it going to the end

There was a lot to like about this game until we fell apart defensively in the third.

Also, Brunson had good numbers, but he is still not the same guy IMO. It was a major step in the right direction, but I still felt he was not reading the pulse of the game and involving his teammates on offense at the right times, thus taking some ill-advised shots. His turnovers were not his usual quality level of play either. Overall, Brunson needs to lead a bit more even if it means scoring a bit less.

Sixers deserved the win. I have no complaints. Embiid is still a diva twat, but he beat us fair and square this game.

The Knicks need to realize that playing nice **** is going to get you nowhere, it happened last year with the Heat, somebody needs to hit back. They're all junkyard dogs and all but nobody is doing the things Embiid or Bam are doing, Embiid is out there playing like Ric Flair cause he's desperate and probably knows whoever wins this series is going to the ECF. They gotta punch back, cause Lowry and Embiid are gonna be going ham next game with the dirty tactics since nobody on our team seems to have any type of retaliation in them. When they go low, you go lower.

They need a real goon. That’s overdue.

These Knicks better come out guns blazing in game 4. Step on the throat early and never let up.

McBride should have played the entire 4th. Divo didn't have it tonight. McBride was playing solid when he was pulled.

I don't like tweets like this, cause we're talking about a guy that had 70 this year and when he was healthy was scoring more than a point per minute. This isn't out of the norm for Embiid, and they need to be ready next game rather than just saying things like that.

Well Embiid made a lot of shots but seems we were not prepared to defend him out there (Brunson?)

I think we still need quicker decisions and less dribbling from Jalen but he had a better game. We won two games where he sucked, lost one where his numbers were better

Embiid got a lot of calls … he made everything too

Not sure what to make of it but obv with him they’re dangerous and I’m not feeling too confident in Jalen overall ... he got a few calls too

Embiid grabbing Mitch’s leg was really lame and we probably should have gone at him in hindsight … we got punked a little

He settled in after his angry start and we should have kept him rattled by holding him to account

Our guys are tough but they're not dirty and they're not violent. I can never root for dirty.

Surprised Tom never got James Johnson, this team has a lot of hustle guys that play hard but are ultimately nice guys. Embiid out there hip checking dudes and putting players in figure four leg locks.

I think it's time to double Embiid. He looks healthy again. iHart can't do it alone. It's just gonna put him in foul trouble and we might not have Mitch for the rest of the series.
