Joel Embiid: We're Going To Win This Series, We Are The Better Team

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Philadelphia 76ers trail the New York Knicks 0-2 in their first round series after losing two close games at Madison Square Garden, but Joel Embiid remains optimistic his team can win four out of the next five games.

"We're good," Embiid said. "We're going to win this series.

"We are going to win this. We know what we got to fix. We did a better job today, so we are going to fix it.

"We are the better team. We are going to keep fighting."

Embiid had 34 points, 10 rebounds and six assists in the game.

You are not going to win now that you have given them bulletin board material while already being injured.
NY may go even harder at Embid now,and they should.

Thats true and was true against atlanta too... Embiid has not been past the second round..

Maybe trying not flopping your way to injury on almost all possessions and win a game before talking **** about your opponent?

I am ready for the tears...

Is he trying to convince us or himself?

I mean yes I think the 76ers are better then the knicks but choke like that and ultimately you will lose this series. Game 2 was in their hands. You know sometimes its not the better team that wins a series.

Stephen a smith sure likes you and your injury … tell your coach nurse to man up and call a real timeout … not a maybe maybe not timeout as he tries to watch the play unravel - already past the time to call a timeout. Nurse has a booming voice and is highly animated.
