Yeah, we're still up. The odds favor us.

Tonight sucked, but losing in the playoffs usually feels disgusting. Tonight was pretty awful overall, but I don't think we can play much worse

I'm looking for better composure from Brunson. Tonight was like watching Melo chucking and losing a game, really bad basketball at the end

And Thibs, I dunno, but I feel like he choked as much as any player on our team. He was a deer in the headlights tonight

I'm trying so hard not to get on DDV's case, but I said in the thread him giving the team like 3-4 minutes of big shots and big defensive plays doesn't make up the 20 minutes before that.


I'm with you on this... he made a shot and then he sits after.

Bad loss, but some of you knuckleheads are unhinged. Fire Thibs? Just calm down. We’re up 3-2. Would’ve been nice to close this out tonight. We’re still gonna put them away. Mitch had a good game and a brain fart. We got this.

Fouling Maxey before he gets up a shot attempt is way easier said than done.. you guys are insane acting like its NBA 2K and all Thibs had to do was press the intentional foul button and automatically pull it off.

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


My agenda is pointing at all the mistakes, not just picking one and blaming the whole game on it. Mitch's foul cost the Knicks 1 point...not 4. Just like Hart and OG's missed FT was worth 1 point each, too. So any one of those 3 things are different and that is what it is.


Fair enough, it was a tough loss go play some pickleball

Mitch foul cost 1 point
OG missed FT cost 1 point
Hart missed FT coast 1 point

All the TOs and other nonsense at the end has other effects costing points.

Too many mistakes down the stretch and it cost the game.

Relax Kat. I criticized Thibs, but did not chant for his scalp. It was not a good night of coaching. Even you can see that

Brunson needs a legit number 2 option. Mikal Bridges isn’t the answer.

the 4 pt play is inexcusable. The only thing you cant do in that situation is foul. OG missed a FT. Hart missed a FT. Thibs didnt foul. One of the worst meltdowns I have seen.

Yeah, Maxey flew up the court and pulled up from almost half court with plenty of time left. We’d have probably given up another 4

Mitch had a great game besides that play but I think he hurts us out there on the Maxey/Embiid PNRs, he's too big and slow, and Embiid is just too big for Deuce to get around the screen easily so Mitch ends up switching on Maxey and its trouble.

We have Precious and I really am at a loss for why we didn't use him once Maxey started abusing the PNR at the end.

OG had Embiid in jail in Game 4 and he literally didn't guard him once this game..

Thibs man come on, I respect you and appreciate you but I really don't get the thought process after seeing how well OG/Precious worked together in Game 4.
