PG: Maxey travels for the win, Maxey doesn't miss.. tough tough loss.

[kNicksGmen]

Wait, WTF?

Precious DNP

How is that even fcking possible?

He was so great last game. He blocked Embiid to end that game.

Wait, WTF is wrong with Thibs?

Are you effing kidding me?

Jesus

he prob should have been out there on the 4 point play or even ihart. No reason you need Mitch at that point when you know they're going to be looking for a 3.

[TKKnicks1]

BTW that pass by Brunson to Hartenstein... why not fcking talk to him. Brunson wanted to bait Batum to jumping and then blow by him with an iHart pass. Just tell him to stay home

Nah Brunson thought he had the J. He changed his mind last second when he knew it was gonna get blocked. It was a stupid decision and a crucial turnover that cost us the game.

DDV 3 point stat

2-5 Game 1
4-8 Game 2
0-3 Game 3
2-7 Game 4
1-7 Game 5

yeah -its bad...

[Stannis]

Better be free throw drills until Thursday.

Hart's miss was short. Usually a sign of fatigue + nerves (no legs).

No drills will help that .

[Knicks Byke]

nah this is all Donte fault

[HighRyzer83]

Mitch can be so dumb sometimes. Like I promise I wouldn't care if he's not here next year.

I personally think the refs calling that foul was sus...

That was absolutely a sus call. Maxey initiated all the contact. But Mitch needs to know better. The game was already won

[spree8]

Mitch can’t play in crunch time… need iHart to make the right plays

[K_ick_God]

You know, Brunson at least needs to let Deuce shoot one ... he's made a lot of clutch shots

I feel like JB agrees with Joel that the 6ers are actually better and thus getting blocked and exhausted late

This stuff always happens to us ... maybe I'm wrong and we need another scorer like Bojan ... but we lost this on stupid play and Maxey getting hot and I feel like Maxey is def capable of doing two more ... not to mention Joel

Lose the series, I think time to say goodbye to Thibs ... he's sort of sitting there asleep ... he stopped coaching

Tough call because he IS a good coach but he assumed the lead was safe, even though we came back from a similar lead in about the same time ... you tell Mitch to go nowhere near Maxey

[Jeffrey]

Embiid was sh.it the whole game. THE WHOLE FCKING GAME. He's not gonna do that again folks.

[TexasMassacre]

Sixers are winning this series. Easily.

[Wildcat]

Don't need to point to particular player(s), this was a team loss.

But we will re-group and win the next game.

I get where you're coming from. Win as a team, lose as a team, but tight games come down to key plays, and Mitch's 4-point play and no contest along with Hart's free throw miss should never happen.

[Oscirus]

Took a **** in msg. Nice and steamy

[Iron Mantis]

Look for any excuse you want.

Allowing them a 3pt opportunity for OT instead of putting them at the line for 2 was the reason for this loss.

That's a coaching call.

Yep!

If we had fouled, Maxy could have made 2 and not the 3. That did it!

That's basic, elementary basketball stuff.

Even the announcers were mentioning it.

[Spandau]

That missed Hart free throw made my heart sink. I had a feeling about that one. That said, it happens. Fouls on guys like Maxey from range should never happen.

I don’t blame any one player, this was just a series of missed opportunities from pretty much everyone.

Bummer, but we just need one win…

[Jeffrey]

BTW that pass by Brunson to Hartenstein... why not fcking talk to him. Brunson wanted to bait Batum to jumping and then blow by him with an iHart pass. Just tell him to stay home

Nah Brunson thought he had the J. He changed his mind last second when he knew it was gonna get blocked. It was a stupid decision and a crucial turnover that cost us the game.

Brunson played stupid too. Hero ball... in OT

[matchman]

Btw we should go for Precious in game 6, he has better switching defense when Maxey and Embiid play PNR.

[TKKnicks1]

This was Embiids worst game this series. He went 7 for freaking 19. This is the game we should have won handedly. Maxey just went crazy and we had no secondary defender on him like we had last game. Thibs just doesn't make any sense to me sometimes.

[Stannis]

Definitely could have used a fresh Bogdanovic. **** luck to trade for him to fill some of Randle's void. And then he just gets injured too.

[Meat]

even when they win, you cant run this back, there needs to be another shot creator in the backcourt

[robillionaire]

Mitch missed FTs to seal it?

No he gave up one of the most idiotic 4 point plays I’ve ever seen when you should never be jumping at the shooter in that scenario and then 1-2 at the line would have been enough to seal it

So all the other mistakes are fine but Mitch's is the reason why? FOH agenda BS

Like you didn’t have an agenda to try to deflect to hart and protect the player you like from rightful criticism
