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

[3toheadmelo]

ban the **** ballboy who made the we can win a chip thread

he did this to us

finally someone with sense here

a person w/ sense wouldn't be laughing deliriously while starring at the ceiling for the last 10 minutes

i am not **** okay right now .....

worst loss ive seen in a super long time...

[HerSports85]

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

This what i'm saying. This is just ridiculous. perfect opportunity and fumbled it.

[Context]

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 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

If we lose the series which i dont think we will Divo has to be where the upgrade comes from...

[perrier_jones]

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.

That happened in game 2 as well, Breen was calling for the Knicks to foul before that last Embiid attempt.

[matchman]

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…

Yeah, win and loss as a team, but we need some adjustments.

[robillionaire]

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

He actually might he doesn’t look super healthy

[Wildcat]

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 .

Nerves. So scream at him while he's shooting free throws. There are drills for late game free throws. I love Josh, but I can't give him the late game cop out on that.

[Jeffrey]

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.

Yup... Embiid is gonna show up next game. Someone other than Brunson better start to show up.

Game 5 - Embiid was trash

Game 3 - Knicks shot 48.9% FG and 43.3%

Both losses. Opportunities arises and couldn't close it out.

[Riot Randolph]

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

Jesus Christ get ahold of yourself…we will beat them next game

[WaltFrazier]

There were great stretches in the 2nd and 4th where we took leads but not big enough leads. Several little plays where we could have extended, like when Hart sailed a pass too high for OG after a great defensive play.

[Knicks Byke]

Divo not a starter.

That Booker idea sounding better and better.

[Jeffrey]

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

He actually might he doesn’t look super healthy

no he doesn't but all he needs to do is get 25 and let Maxey blowing by us like nothing.

[Iron Mantis]

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.

I have been saying this over and over .. .Thibs will get you to the playoffs

But in the playoffs??? Thibs don't got it....

[Context]

There were great stretches in the 2nd and 4th where we took leads but not big enough leads. Several little plays where we could have extended, like when Hart sailed a pass too high for OG after a great defensive play.

I feel like they were a little shook and felt the pressure...

[nykinoz]

I back this team to get one of the next two, thats the target, and i'm confident we will reach it.

[YouthMovement]

start deuce

Can we talk now Folksssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HighRyzer83]

The bad Josh Hart pass too man.. no reason to force that to OG man.

that one too. why not slow it down. the clock is our friend.

Because he's not an NBA caliber player IMO. He gets by on hussle.

[Im Coming Home]

Thibs literally had the blueprint to how to lock up both Maxey and Embiid in Game 4 and just threw it in the garbage. BRO WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[GettinitDone]

Thibs figured out the formula in Game 4, and then just didn't use it..

Stupid stupid play.

Yeah those saying Thibs wasn't on the court so he didn't lose this c'mon you gotta see the context... Precious had 4 blocks and without him we wouldn't have won the last game... you really can't use 8 players??? He can't even play 10 mins?? He and OG basically put Sixers in jail, and you can't even go back to that even for 5 mins, in the first half to see if it's not a fluke??? Don't think he would have been as jump happy as Mitch guarding Maxey on that play .. I think Precious is as good as Mitch guarding Embiid, and better when he's switched onto Maxey...

Yeah you gotta earn Thibs' trusts but his extreme view on rotations can be putrid... and damaging to players' confidence... you're supposed to reward your players when they do well, and not DNPCDd him after he basically helped win the previous game!!!

You have to have mentality of steel like Deuce... going through months and years of DNPCDs and not let them take a chunk of his confidence... but not everyone has Deuce's steel mentality... most people they do well with rewards (playing time and trust) and suffer from punishments (DNPCDs)...

How do you basically treat a player like expired meat when he just won you a game???
