Talking out my ass? Bruh, you need to get your head out your ass and start paying attention to what’s actually happening in these games.
How you guys not notice any adjustments all season? Playing smaller lineups for example, or benching Burks. Not an adjustment? How the fuq we win 50 games and land #2 seed losing Randle, OG, and Mitch if not for making the correct adjustments? How we have the best defensive rating in the league in March without our 2 defensive anchors in Mitch and OG if not for adjustments??? Keeping iHart as a starter despite Mitch coming back… not an adjustment?
This series… how about taking OG off Maxey for starters cuz that clearly wasn’t working. How about putting OG on Embiid last game when iHart got in foul trouble?
Brunson was murdered in Game 1 & 2… you think his game plan coming in Game 3 & 4 was all on him? You don’t think the adjustments to attack each defender in a specific way comes from the coach? Having iHart flipping screens to free him up more, attacking Embiid, playing off ball more and running around screens acting as a decoy to free up/set up his teammates because of his gravity. That’s not coaching tho?
Wtf you watching?
A coach who burned his players all year, I'm watching Brunson put up brutal 4th quarters. Most of the adjustments you cite are just injuries. Benching Burks? Lol no ****, he was shooting 30%, thanks Pat Riley. We won 50 games because he burned Randle, Mitch and Brunson and the East sucks ass. A team *10* games under 500 made a playin game, the West 10 games over 500 made the playin. fIFtY wins got you the 5th seed in the West, I mean wtf are you watching?
This is the 4th seed banner hanging all over, Thibs is worthless in the playoffs, he's a total counterfeit and always has been.
I don't think it matters, this team doesn't have conference finals talent anyway. No coach is changing that, with Randont or without him.
Weak response. Be better

He needs to pull back and make plays
Who says he’s gonna be hot the rest of the way? The Sixers made like 10/13 from 3 in the 3rd quarter of game 3 and then couldn’t score for 6 minutes to end game 4. Every game is different…

LTM report does not make anyone feel any better
True, but it makes it a little better that Sixers fans can't cry about Game 2 at all now.

The garden was electric, all wasted. Talk me off the ledge bc a loss like that really stings when I've been waiting for a team like this for 20+ years...
It’s sports man, but feel the same. You’re gambling with your hope and mood lol.

I know I'm not suicidal or anything haha. Just exaggerating to make a point. When you're so emotionally invested in something for so long and it gets taken away in 30 secs it's tough. That's literally what happened. I hope they just close it out tomorrow bc if it goes to a game 7.... I don't have much confidence even tho it's at home. How many times roughly has a team blown a 3-1 lead?

About 7% of the time

I like LTM reports. It shows a more unbiased look at the final 2 minutes. Even if the game isn't overturned (and that almost never happens), the league admits ref mistakes. I'm OK with that.
I don't care about Maxey's travel, because, like game 2 - Refs can't call that in the closing minute.
The Knicks blew the game. Thibs blew the game. You've got to take that and move on. The report, while it takes some sting out of it, doesn't change the real culprit of this loss. Dumb mistakes. NY had this game.

Two-minute report says Maxey traveled. Doesn’t matter. But imagine they called it? I wouldn’t be slitting my wrists right now.

Section IV—Fouls
a. A common personal foul is illegal physical contact which occurs with an opponent
after the ball has become live and before the horn sounds to end the period. If time expires
before the personal foul occurs, the personal foul should be disregarded, unless it was
EXCEPTION: If the foul is committed on or by a player in the act of shooting, and the
shooter released the ball prior to the expiration of time on the game clock, then the foul
should be administered in the same manner as with any similar play during the course of the
game (See Rule 13—Section II—b—ii).
b. A technical foul is the penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct or violations by team
members on the floor or seated on the bench.
c. A double foul is a situation in which any two opponents commit personal fouls at
approximately the same time.
d. An offensive foul is illegal contact, committed by an offensive player, after the ball
is live and there is team control.
e. A loose ball foul is illegal contact, after the ball is alive, when team control does
not exist.
f. A flagrant foul is unnecessary and/or excessive contact committed by a player against
an opponent whether the ball is dead or alive.
g. A punching foul is a punch by a player which makes contact with an opponent
whether the ball is dead or alive.
h. An away-from-the-play foul is illegal contact by the defense (1) in the last two
minutes of each period, and last two minutes of any overtime periods, which occurs deliberately
away from the immediate area of offensive action, or (2) prior to the ball being released on a
throw-in at any point during the entire game.

It all just feels very Lucy with the football. Here's a material call that impacted the entire outcome of the series, but whoops, doesn't matter. Just feels like that sh*t should be kept to themselves and the league can deal with improving referee training or adding cameras to remove blindspots.

Agree with bolded. The big issue I have is with the actual Foul on Mitch on that 4 point play. I posted this elsewhere, and will repost it here because I can't think of any different ways to word it.
I truly hate this play. Not only this singular play in particular, but this type of foul call in general. The player who inititiates illegal contact should get the foul called on them. Jumping into a defender in non-regular basketball motion should be an offensive foul. Last game Lowery initiated illegal contact by intentionally stepping/tripping on Brunson laying on his back and it was a foul on Brunson. Brunson laid down flat and had his arms crossed. That's an offensive foul IMO.
- - - -
Getting someone up and making a normal basketball motion (like on a layup) I get. This James Harden chuck a shot and jump into the defender with a non basketball motion shot **** kills me.
And I don't want to be a bitch here. I tip my cap to Philly. The Knicks had chances to win and served up opportunity after opportunity to Philly for them to capitalize. Maxey is a BAD man. He is going to be a problem. Oubre and (ironically) Harris kept Philly in the game in the first half. The respect stops there. Nurse acts like a clown (but is a decent enough coach) and Joel Embitch...er...Embiid is a generational talent skill wise (but this series is showing a side of him I have never seen before). He is that good. He doesn't need to pull this dirty ****.
