post game : embiid great but he's a bitch

[Clyde_Style]

I’m not dying on any hill. You are the one with I told you sos like you called some **** no one else knew. Embiid is good. Great. The Knicks are up 2-1. Do those wins not count? Is it more important for the Knicks to win or for you to be proven right?

If collecting receipts is the goal and being able to gloat over "being right" when the team loses is the reaction then that may be more important to some people than whether or not the team prospers.

yeah thats how you know Melo isn't a real Knicks fan.

He's going to hold a grudge for every post in here that didn't go their way until they enter the pearly gates. And even then St. Peter is going to have to tell them, "Zip it. Not in here you don't". Because you know he's going to heaven, that little angel

[Context]

the focus should be that embiid because of his own actions should have been ejected. im not giving him credit for having a good game.

i've watched this play like 20 times now trying to rationalize how they didn't call this a flagrant 2. i get he's former mvp and it's the playoffs but is there even a more blatant way to potentially injure a **** guy? grabbing their ankles while they're jumping while laying in their landing space?

lay his crying bitch ass out next game

Wow. A Kendrick Perkins tweet from the future.

How about some high-top sneakers?????

Regardless of the dirty play or not, we cannot depend on Mitch to stay healthy man. I feel like we gotta draft a center with one of these picks this upcoming draft, whether we keep iHeart or not

[Clyde_Style]

In the spirit of weaselly business leader crooks, Nick Nurse didn't see the play with Embiid grabbing Mitch's leg. See no evil, Hear no evil ... but do a lot of evil if you can get away with it

Sounds to me like he ordered it.

When Nick Nurse loses to Ms. Pacman at the arcade he screams he was robbed and demands to get his quarters back.

Might have to play more Precious, OG and McBride (with Hart and Brunson) lineups and have McBride slow Maxey while Precious and OG get physical with Embiid and swarm him. That’s the best way we’ll slow them. Embiid crawls into a ball when he’s pressured with physicality like we did in 4th quarters the first two games and like Miami did in the play in….

Embiid had dirty plays but he still destroyed everyone that guarded him and that includes Mitch . If Embiid is playing like he’s near 100% like tonight it will be difficult to beat them.

He's never gonna shoot like that from 3 again, and neither is the rest of that team. They won because of that hot 3rd quarter, despite everything else being gifted to them as well.

They're +33 when Embiid is on the floor in these games, even when he wasn't scoring big they're winning when he's on the floor. He may not shoot from three like that again but he's definitely capable of scoring 35+ again, the most troubling thing isn't that he shot well, it's that it looks like he was moving better in this game than the first 2.

You can tell who doesn't know basketball here. Some of them are just homers and don't watch ball outside of the Knicks and think irrationally about our team.

Embiid looks like hes rounding back to form. We're already having a hard time guarding Maxey. If Embiid is near 100%.. we might be in big trouble. This is what some of us feared entering this series while the homers kept ignoring it.

Knicks 19 free throws. Embiid 21 free throws. 33 to 19 overall free throw disparity. Can anyone say makeup game? So obvious. Come on NBA. Do better.

So just came back from the game. The team fought hard…a few times when I feel like they lacked some poise but on the whole, they shouldn’t be scared of Philly. Respect them, yes, but we’re not outmatched.

Embiid was a monster but yea he was also being some dirty and flopping a ton. When’s he on fire like that and getting calls…man, hard to beat. Hope Mitch is okay.

Glad Brunson figured things out too.

Knicks fans really did show up. Didn’t get punched in the head haha.

Glad you got out alive

Where's my cheese steak?

Would help if iHeart didn’t pick up stupid fouls to take away his aggressiveness. I don’t see why we don’t play Sims here. He’s more agile than anyone else at the position and can keep up with Embiid on the perimeter

McBride on Maxey, OG on Embiid with Precious or IHart swarming.

What happened tonight? Embiid isn’t going to shoot 39% from the field every game. He was going to get back to his usual self like Brunson did tonight.

And btw he had 34/10/6 in game 2.

I’m not sure why you want to die on this hill. It’s pretty obvious that playing the pacers would’ve been a much better option. We have Embiid injuring our players and dropping 50 in the process.

I never said the Knicks are/were going to lose against Philly. Please pull up receipts instead of talking out of your ass. You on some strawman schit as usual. Just pointing out that playing the Pacers would've been the better move for us while homers like you thought otherwise and kept shrugging off how good Embiid and the sixers are. It's actually even worse now with Embiid injuring our players. Hopefully we can pull this off while staying healthy. Pacers were the ideal matchup and there's a good chance we would've swept them with minimal injuries.

Where did I say that you said that? All I said is when the Knicks win it’s minimal from you, and when they lose it’s “SEE I TOLD YOU GUYS!”

I’m arguing about this being proven right about something over the Knicks actually winning seems more important to you.

Trying to be optimistic cuz It could just precautionary for Mitch to be wearing a boot. Just give him as much support so he can be back on the court by Sunday.

[cgmw]

Our defense was uncharacteristically awful. I kept yelling “don’t drop” and they dropped, “play back” and they played up, “don’t foul” and they fouled, “rotate!” and they didn’t rotate. Frustrating as all hell and uncharacteristic.
