Knicks have an actual superstar, we don't.

Every player that's steps on the floor for the knicks is making a impact. You cant say the same about the sixers.

I know I was just praising McBride, but please let him shoot the ball in single coverage instead of providing help defense and letting Brunson shoot a wide open 3.

Why is Tobias trying to run the break with Maxey ahead only to give the ball back to maxey as soon as the defense is set.

So much stupidity

Is this the same Hart who was shooting like 50% from 3 in this series? He’s missing badly.

Atleast Maxey came to play. Morey has no excuse not to build the team around him this offseason.

He can’t be the leader and Tyrese is too young and respectful to do what Ant did. You can’t have a leader be this mopey and emo every time adversity hits in close out games.

Just brain dead leaving these guys open for 3 by doubling near half court. Again and again…

He was shooting the same numbers than Oubre this season. The difference is one became Klay Thompson for two games and the other is Kelly Oubre.

Maxey has a fraction of the talent Ant has unfortunately. But he has heart and it's likely he reaches his ceiling, at least there is that.

Nurse has to give the keys to Tyrese

I **** love Joel Embiid

just doesn't process the game fast enough to be the main offensive guy. His game is based too heavily on those mid range shots and he needs too much time and space to get them off...works great in the regular season but over the course of a series, teams can begin to lock in and catch his tendencies which leads to being able to time the shot. He then doesn't think the game quick enough to counter that...which leads to these possessions in which he holds the ball too long and either forces a stupid pass or a tough shot because he has to. Add on his also often has an injury that makes it tough to consistently either jumper or **** see and you got this.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU TRADE HIM OR THAT HE IS A BITCH ASS PUNK....but it does mean you have to adjust the game plan going forward..the Jo attempts to do everything system does not work because he just doesn't have the quick thinking for that. Hell better players can't do that either not to the level we need him to.

Surprised anyone would think Embiid would have anything left in the tank after Nurse emptied it on Sunday.

The roster around him is hot garbage. period.

People actually wanting to keep Oubre. LOL

I dont think hes too young, I have a feeling this will be Maxeys team next season whether Embiid is here or not. He already has leadership qualities and works hard. He's going to be on guys a** next season. Let Embiid play his remaining injury prone seasons out as Miami Heat Shaq with Maxey running the show.

My concern with Maxey has always been him being a 6ft sg that lacks shot creation and playmaking. He has already improves on both and I believe he will only get better in the offseason. This is his team now whether he's ready or not.

Oubre and Lowry combines for 1-11

Yeah it’s time to embrace it being Tyrese’s team…Jo has a role here but it’s time to dial back the usage and for him to empower Tyrese that it’s his team.
