That was a weak timeout attempt from Nurse. No issue with it not being called since Maxey lost the ball the same time he tried to call it again. Refs are not robots so using still pics doesn't matter much here.

After watching the video, Nick Nurse cannot be serious.

Coaches should be given a button they can press and when it’s pressed an automatic timeout is initiated.

The Sixers are now going to get two home games that won't feel nearly enough like home games.

Blaming the refs is so lame. I know you guys gotta blame someone, but that stretch was just embarrassing. Zero composure from Philly and got straight up punked.

Joel Embiid is 30 now. You can’t keep wasting these postseasons.

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.


Thanks for OG!

Sixer got beat, couldn't inbound the ball, couldnt rebound, and made a bad decision all at the worst time possible. Give the Knicks some credit too, they did everything the Sixers did not.

That ending was obviously extremely painful but... the Knicks choked away a 7-8 pt lead they had for much of the 4th quarter in the last couple minutes. Sixers really had no business being up with a minute left.

I know the win's all that's gonna matter but that end sequences would hurt a lot more if the Sixers didn't steal the lead back via crappy Knicks play for the 6-7 minutes before it.
