PG: Knicks Win Game One Even Without Nova Mob Juice

Did/does Embiid have bells palsy? Because that one eyed blinking sh*t he does is crazy otherwise.

[Clyde_Style]

I think we just took their best shot. No?

Maybe. Embiid was 2-12 after the knee injury and who knows how it’s feeling now but it wasn’t looking good. Mitch played good D on him and he didn’t have the mobility to do anything about it. But they’re not going to mail it in, I still expect a series

He can’t keep taking this trauma and irritation to his left knee.

It’s going to be very swollen tomorrow.

Check the video I just posted above from Dr. Sutterer.

I agree with Rob I'd rather beat the Sixers with Embiid than not, but I have little confidence he can stay on the floor for even one series, much less a playoff run.

Still, we're winning this series either way.

I agree. I’d prefer to win the series against a healthy Embiid. I went onto the Sixers forum and wished Embiid the best. No one wants to see any player, much less a star, go down in the playoffs.

[Clyde_Style]

Another thought - Brunson was off but probably well aware that by drawing the defense in we'd have an advantage on the offensive glass. We had a ton of putbacks off his misses where he drew out Embiid. I think that was a semi intentional counter to their blitzing.

It was an odd feeling seeing Brunson push/heave some shots he normally has a finessed touch with. It was like watching another player. Not concerned though. He is the most resilient player possible and he always makes adjustments.

Some people here do. I think wishing injury on a player puts a pox on your soul, but different strokes I guess.

Both he and iHart missed some bunnies.

That’s what some the Sixers fans said to me in response.

In the early minutes of the game when we went down by 10 there were three buckets that went in and then out of the hoop. Good looks that just didn't go down.

[Jalen Bluntson]

No one felt bad when we had injuries in the playoffs. Not saying I'm happy about it but, whatever. We never got Randle back and we dealt with injuries for weeks into months!! Embiid is cooked for the season. Playing him is asking for trouble. Pack it in and go home. They cannot win this series with him limping around blinking with one eyelid and bleeding from his knee for some reason. Protect this man's career.

Would you give Precious a try at PF with the bench to give Hart a breather?

I feel like Precious could help out there. Mitch guards Embiid in the paint, Precious guards him on the perimeter.

Makes videos on every team, usually negative videos cursing out bad coaching and defense.

He may be a Knicks fan though since he routinely praises Knicks(but he does have some older videos of Knicks playing bad D)

Knicks fans couldn't possibly be poxxed, hexxed, cursed any further than we already are

Just curious, because he might be just FOS half the time and he's just making up chit to support his bias. He seems Knicks centric though so I'll allow it

[NiceLikeChrist]

He’s never made a bad video about the Knicks which is odd. Even if we a lose a game he won’t make a vid bashing Thibs like he does other coaches.

I think a Thibs video was his first ever positive coach video but he said he isn’t even a Knicks fan and just likes how we play defense. Which was believable at the time but now after like 6 or 7 vids praising the Knicks and Brunson I feel like he’s a closet Knicks fan

[HarthorneWingo]

From The Philadelphia Inquirer:

“You can throw all this stuff [in the box score] in the trash,” coach Nick Nurse said. “We had three wide-open threes to take it up [to] six and didn’t make one, and they made three in a row. It’s literally like that. ... Their last four three [-pointers], I’m not sure I’m taking those possessions back. I think we were doing what we wanted to do there.”

Deuce turned the game around in the second quarter.

He has. He just seems to like and agree with Thibs coaching style/defensive style. He HATES drop coverage, and the Knicks almost never run drop coverage, they ice screens, hedge screens, etc. So it just seems like Thibs style is what he believes is the best defensive style to play.
