The kicks should feel pretty good they are the better team and their best player finally has it going

Of course DiVincenzo turns into an all-star this series.

Honestly feels a little miraculous that we’re only down 3 with how hot their shooting has been.

I don't think he's going, he has 17 pts but in 15 shots. Joel has the same amount of point with 6 shots less.

The issue is they're 50% from 3 and we're 29%

Oubre pure food tonight. Need guards to rebound the long bounce off the rim. I mean, Embiid isn't even going to really rebound under the rim, so it's not expected of him to track the ball and get long rebounds.

Wow sixer fans


Are you surprised. The Knicks are right down the street and they finally have a team they believe in.
They are just as deprived as sixers fans are maybe even more.

They are a very good shooting team. Also Divincenzo would be our third best player easily. He averaged almost 16 points a game playing less then 30 minutes a game and shot 40% from three. He is also a solid ball handler and a passable playmaker. If he switched teams to us and we gave them Harris or Kelly or something we'd flog the Knicks. He also played an important role on a title team.

I’d like to see us get on the break a bit more with Maxey. Our offense feels way too predictable & we’re getting no easy points. Of course, we’ve gotta force some missed shots first lol.

New York has way more money than Philly. Not surprising.

They're obviously not the same player, but the only guy comparable to Hart on our team is Council and he hasn't played a minute this playoffs. So while Hart is beating us with effort, we're beating them with.....

36 minutes, 11 points between Hield, Oubre, and Batum tonight. Wouldn't want to miss out on that point production!

15 shots or not he's providing the scoring punch his team is used to and his teammates are still playing well.

Hopefully Maxey can get going in the 2nd half to match some of Brunsons output. If not it's over.

Gifting the offensive rebounds will be game set match. Embiid was never an S tier rebounder so the fact we didn’t address this as a team after Game 1 is brutal.

Thank the Lord for Maxey. Only dude getting timely buckets. Otherwise we’d be down double digits and just trying to dodge a sweep next game.

Exactly. New York is a soulless, filthy city fueled by consumerism and status. People empty their pockets way easier up there.

To see such stagnation with this system based around handoffs, opportunistic scoring from those handoffs and movement is pathetic.

I loved that play where they screened for Jo off ball leading to an easy pass and score. Need more of that.... Less iso

I can't wait for Joel to finally reach the ECF looking like Harvey Dent after the explosion.

I can only imagine how Embiid is feeling right now. Again, no wonder he's depressed. Not a good move pulling down Robinson, but the man has gone through so much ****. Once again Tobias a no-show, and our shooter we got is shooting worse than Ben Simmons. Surprised he hasn't punched Tobias yet.
