Game Thread: New York Knicks (2-0) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (0-2) Thursday, April 25th 7:30pm

These 3s are nauseating.

Embiid has as many FT as our entire team lol

[cgmw]

I’m just here to spew rage. Frustrating game.

[TKKnicks1]

Refs aside, the Knicks havent played well defensively tonight. And single coverage on Embiid is not gonna work. Hes looks good all game today. Definitely the healthiest we've seen him.

[tacosman]

Look this series is a toss-up. But who cares....the knicks aren't going anywhere regardless and have zero chance to go to the finals. Whether they win this meaningless series or not.
So that said.....exactly what is the plan? Is the plan to assemble a bunch of 'try-hards' so that the garden can feel good about the grit and hustle of the team??
Hartenstein is a nice player to root for in spot minutes as the 'hustle guy' when you have a couple 1a stars and then really talented pieces after that filling out the main core. When guys like hartenstein are playing 20+ minutes, it's not so nice because that's a team that isn't going anywhere.
Then you have the ultimate 'try-hard' 6'2 guard who can't raise his game in the playoffs because he gives 100% effort in the regular season. Brunson would be a nice contributor as a microwave type scorer playing 20-23 minutes off the bench to come in and give second unit a spark. As the team's 'star' well......thats a team whose ceiling in the playoffs is lower than the ears of a kid with 47 chromosomes.

So one more time....this series aside(and who knows how it goes.....we sure as hell know how a potential series with boston against these try-hards would go)

But look at that hustle! Hartenstein and Hart never give up on a play!! Brunson is a fighter! All these villanova try-hards play so good together!

All that and a dollar fifty will buy a pack of bubbalicious. It sure as hell won't get an nba title though. So what is the point?

your man mitch is more injury prone than greg oden

where's julius ? 2nd playoffs in a row where he's hurt. mitch plays more in the playoffs then him. sad.

Randle may as well be AC Green compared to Mitch, your boy has played 90 games in 2 years. It takes a car accident type collision to keep Randle out, meanwhile Mitch's biggest enemy is Isaac Newton and returning to the ground safely without shattering his brittle feet. You can't spell shameless without sham.

very sad

[RHODEY]

This game is becoming boring

shart -23 mitch +7

So predictable.

[Ewings2ndcousin]

Even if he is a whiny bitch there is a reason ehy he was the mvp last year

True that..... But I didn't want him on this team at All... Wouldn't be worth what we would have to give up

More now

[Lord Commander]

Embiid might be the ugliest looking NBA player since Sam Cassell, but that guy is putting his money where his mouth is.

His teammate Payne has him beat in that category

[GettinitDone]

Well they're gonna take 1 or 2 games this series and it takes Embiid shooting like he was Reggie Miller... and we still trail only by 14

I love Precious

No one is reading all that

But thank you

Isn't a real game tread without the essay nihilistic post.

[robillionaire]

Ok OG

[stuporman]

This is the way... after repeated flagrant foul attempts to injure players and finally succeeding with little to no consequences, then they turn the magnets on.

This is more like prowrestling, this isn't real.

you wore a burberry shirt to your grandmother's funeral

You were the hall of fame hair braider on the Island.

you were trying to sell candy to strangers for your "aau team" at age 30

You held a candlelight vigil outside of Sues Rendezvous when they closed, your nickname among the skrippas was "Restraining order".

How is this cyclops hitting all these 3's?

Jean Grey is using her telekinetic powers to move the ball though the basket.

This team ain't quitting like some arrows.
