Game Thread: New York Knicks (2-0) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (0-2) Thursday, April 25th 7:30pm

[TKKnicks1]

We were actually on a 7 game winning streak dating back to the regular season.

[Guano]

embiid with 48 on 68/71/89......jesus

and people were saying embiid was a better matchup for us than obi

Thibs was never going to throw a game for match ups.

He doesn't move like that

[god shammgod]

kind of feel like he did it on purpose. i don't think he respects shart.

48 on 68/71/89... He shouldn't

he was starting to cook mitch before he got hurt again. embiid was unstoppable

mitch a +7

[RHODEY]

Embiid is starting to move better, his conditioning is terrible but he's moving much better in this game than the first 2.

His whining has also improved.

[Richard4444]

The only thing I want to complain is that we are not playing physical enough on Embiid.

Embbid barely fell today.

[Besart19]

With these kind of joke refs Ewing would score 100 pts every other game

[The KnicksFix]

This game was exactly what we thought it would be
The get back
What’s the status of Mitch?

i dont blame him for that mindset. that's our culture. but leon shouldve stepped in and told thibs to "rest" our guys

[Ewings2ndcousin]

Embid with 21 free throws. If we breathed on him refs called foul. Philly did what they were supposed to do. The pixy dust will wear off Sunday tho

og played ok tonight but i started thinking about how he's gonna make 30 something mill a year and he's kind of had not much affect in this series at all

[Luv those Knicks]

Look this series is a toss-up. But who cares....the knicks aren't going anywhere regardless and have zero chance to go to the finals. Whether they win this meaningless series or not.
So that said.....exactly what is the plan? Is the plan to assemble a bunch of 'try-hards' so that the garden can feel good about the grit and hustle of the team??
Hartenstein is a nice player to root for in spot minutes as the 'hustle guy' when you have a couple 1a stars and then really talented pieces after that filling out the main core. When guys like hartenstein are playing 20+ minutes, it's not so nice because that's a team that isn't going anywhere.
Then you have the ultimate 'try-hard' 6'2 guard who can't raise his game in the playoffs because he gives 100% effort in the regular season. Brunson would be a nice contributor as a microwave type scorer playing 20-23 minutes off the bench to come in and give second unit a spark. As the team's 'star' well......thats a team whose ceiling in the playoffs is lower than the ears of a kid with 47 chromosomes.

So one more time....this series aside(and who knows how it goes.....we sure as hell know how a potential series with boston against these try-hards would go)

But look at that hustle! Hartenstein and Hart never give up on a play!! Brunson is a fighter! All these villanova try-hards play so good together!

All that and a dollar fifty will buy a pack of bubbalicious. It sure as hell won't get an nba title though. So what is the point?

F OFF Jerk

Right.

(directed at Tacos not Clyde)

The Knicks are missing their #2 scorer and #1 rebounder. Playing short handed and up 2 games to 1, but it's a team of "Try-hards".

Knicks have 4 picks this draft and a tradable asset in Bogs.

Give me a team that tries and fights and scraps any day, but NY also has a roster full of talent and trade assets. Lots to like about what NY has done.

this is what obi and frank fans did to try and prove they were good. very sad to see sham follow the same route. very sad

[DaGawd]

we’re better than this team i ain’t shaken!

[Knicks Byke]

[Jeff Van Gully]

Thank you for your service, Fat Kat.

you were posting ayton and wiseman stats 2 weeks ago. the unmitigated gall.

[Stannis]

Scary to think this series easily could be 1-2.

Game 4 is a must win

[RHODEY]

Why do the Knicks get these ticky tack fouls and not the Sixers?

Because the nba court is like Studio 54 the refs are working the door and the Knick's names are not on the list.
