Whistles swallowed that whole sequence. Chaos!

Donte and Hart are insane man

Really is something that the closest Embiid has gotten to a title was the greatest year in NBA history.

Epic chokejob LOL, and that's with Brunson trying his best to lose that game.

Hahaha, the Knicks just have found the right combination. It's too bad they don't have enough firepower to truly be legit. They're kind of like the Heat. They maximize the talent they do have though.

Embiid looks like he’s going to cry already

I'm talking about it because we are watching him underwhelm in a marquee playoff matchup before he signs a contract?

"Am I here to amuuuuuse you?"

It seems that you are.

The contract was signed the moment they made the trade. And it's not realistic to expect OG to guard Maxey. Dude is hard to guard for shorties let alone a big guy.

Like I've been saying..."no such thing as a bad OG game". Bar set so low. Zero expectations.

But that was his assignment too start the game? They switched him off now.

But it just goes more too the general point. Elite 1v1 defenders who are limited offensively are not worth the max if it's ridiculous to expect them to competently cover the opposing star player.
.
Dort isn't worth 35 or 40 million either.

It's not about how much hes' worth. It's how much it will cost to keep him. Hence the Raptors moved him. You don't give up RJ, IQ and pick #31 and not re-sign him. The money is already in OG's bank. It's amusing that you're still talking about this. It's not your team or money so no biggie. It's the Knicks problem now. And Dort doesn't have OG's size.

Don't argue logic with a sniveling troll

Donte D. with the Robert Horry

Maxey is going to pioneer a new type of choking: defensive rebounding yips. This is the second game where he screws up some pivotal ball possession plays

Brunson is entering the IT Jr./Trae Young zone of being a little guy getting solved in the playoffs.

Late maybe but it just makes up for the star treatment Joel the flopper got most of the game

mdenny · Post #417 » by **mdenny** » Tue Apr 23, 2024 2:18 am

Maxey got mauled. Can't believe a foul wasn't called. Hartenstien came thru with a huge rebound and block in final seconds.

No Kawhi to carry Nick Nurse lol

That toughness shown by the Knicks though. They kind of remind me Iverson Sixers.

Masai finna throw the kitchen sink for Embiid

OG with 2 clutch FTs, 1 assist and 1 rebound in the final minute of 4th quarter to steal the win!
