I think we're going to see ejections

Would love to see embiid try these shenanigans on jokic…just not this year or in the playoffs

Jokic's brothers, wearing the latest in tracksuit haute couture, would charge the court and administer a Serbian smackdown

Yeah, probably Brunson and Hart. Go NBA!

I want us to be physical and rough Embiid up, but we cant be doing dirty sh*t like he did.

We got most other fans on our side. The refs got their “make up game” out of the way. We should be able to play ball now, but they wont tolerate any obvious retaliation. Our guys must stay tough but poised.

Put Embiid on his ass when we foul him and let him feel each hit, but keep it clean(ish) unless you want a rotation player to be tossed.

As far as our team goes, if Jalen is back then we need OG, Donte, Deuce, and Bojan to put up more points. Josh has been our 2nd scorer crazily enough, but not sure how much longer he can keep it up. Isaiah’s floater is almost automatic, but he gotta stay on the floor. Donte and Deuce have been inconsistent. OG needs to be more aggressive, but it’s not in his nature.

We scored pretty well last night actually. D was bad. Should try switching up the coverages and matchups more often. Have OG, Donte, and Deuce take turns on Maxey. Have Isaiah, Mitch/Precious, and OG take turns on Embiid. Throw different looks at em and confuse. Maybe use a zone for a bit. Thibs doesn’t seem to budge from his schemes much though. We’ll see if any adjustments are made.

NO! F*ck that!!

It's time to go 90s KNICKS and send a "HARD" message to Embiid. Otherwise, the refs owe us a "make up" game for letting him get away with murder on the court last night -- and it will never end.

By the time we finish with him, that left eye should be working again!!

I said Im all for hard fouls and playing tough bro. Im just not into trying to intentionally injure people like Joel did. All that would do is get our guys ejected. They dont have the protection Joel does, and the retaliating team always gets harsher punishment.

Like what do some of you want us to do? Just run up and punch the guy? That is weak. Play mean, but play basketball.

Time for Burks, Jeffries, and any of the others at the end of the bench to earn their paychecks.

If they get ejected and/or suspended, so be it.

If the referees are going to be hyper aware and call whistles on the Knicks then Sims might as well break Joel Embiid's face.

I used to like Embid but his elbowing, pulling on Mitch’s leg, fouling, complaining, etc. has made him into a bad juju bitch. He has earned what he has coming.

He has become Miami but as a player.
He needs back what he has been giving out.

Of course. Makes it obvious how rigged the game is.

without a doubt...rigged!
And I'll be honest- I cant watch game 4 without feeling indifferent. The team that comes out of this series will be the team the
NBA wants to come out of it...
I'm watching all of these video on Dirtbiid...he's not an MVP player. If I was playing in the league he would be the guy I would be
cautious of how close he got to me and if he was going to throw his 280 pounds of reckless -actress- body on me...It's pretty obvious
why he's always injured...this aint rocket science if you know...

When they throw up the opening tip, I Hart should let Embiid jump for it then just punch him straight in the face. Afterwards I Hart should do the classic "What did I do?" Embiid shrug and act like nothing happened. Because apparently that works.

Absolutely. Young grandstanded us but they beat us without too much fanfare. What are you gonna do? This is **** war.

Really hope you guys win. You have such a likeable team with awesome, elite role players, play finishers and a tremendous coach. The culture and work ethic is so strong. Brunson seems like such a great dude and absolutely love his game.

The 76ers are gross. Nurse is toxic and Embiid is wreckless and a whiner. And I never have and never will refer to the city of Philadelphia or any of its sports franchises as "Philly"





Maxey looks like an agitated chipmunk

I drafted Barnes in the fantasy legue I'm in...Congradulations- I believe he will be one of the faces of this league in the future.
I havent watched much NBA ball in the last 5 years. Had no idea Embiid was this dirty. Never knew until today that he did this to Barnes:
