76ers epic chokejob vs. Knicks in Game 2

picc · Post #1 » by **picc** » Tue Apr 23, 2024 2:21 am

8-0 run by NY in the last 28 seconds.

Multiple offensive rebounds given up. Balls wrestled away from them like a grown man from a toddler.

The game was over. Then it wasn't. Then it was again.

My jaw was open. An incredible thing to see in real time.

Very reminiscent of the Spurs chokejob in game 6 of the 2013 finals.

Discuss.

I would not call it a choke job if the referees had called the game fair in last 2 minutes. Multiple times they screwed up calls which resulted in going in favour of Knicks.

If hussein fatal was a man who kept his word, Philly would have won. Loss is squarely on him.

This is just pouring salt into an open festering wound.

Unwise.

Man they were letting both teams get away with lots of fouling. Sixers were doing so much holding and hacking those last possessions as well

How is Lowry a vet and he doesn’t call a timeout instead of forcing the inbound pass into traffic?

Holy crap watching this you can actually see Nick Nurse calling timeout and it get ignored by the refs TWICE on the inbound and again when Maxey on the ground.

But again, Kyle Lowry is a veteran and he should be able to make that decision to call timeout there anyway.

I thought the final play was a good choice. Hold the ball until one second left and throw to embiid for the deep three. Normally that would go in.

Knicks got lucky.

I have a feeling the last person still "trusting the process", jumped off the bandwagon this game.

These kind of results make you just pity Joel Embiid now. LOL
