Don't ever, EVER question Embiid's desire for the game.

Best thing about that win is that the Knicks actually played really well. They shot very well, Brunson was peak Brunson, got into their sets well and didn't play sloppy or anything, and most of their role players played good to very good. And we handled them pretty easily. Granted our shooting was kinda absurd in the 3rd but still.

Whose fault is it?

Or rather, who's a scum bag low life? Nurse? Payne?

Just in time to watch the Eagles blow their pick.

Embiid scoring 50 is pretty awesome. Great win! I didn't watch this one.

So Embiid apparently gooned it up then dropped a 50 spot?

Played like a true heel. :lol:

Any team that shoots 82% from 3 in one quarter is likely winning a game in the NBA. The only reason it looked close is because we shot 30% the rest of the game and they had 15 more possessions.

Obviously Joel is not gonna shot 67/71/90 every night but i just don't think they can stop him, Maxey and Bruson should balance each other.

The issue is where we get something similar to what Payne did tonight

Great win, 50 from Jojo was great to see. He looked alot healthy, whatever drugs they gave him apparently worked.

Least NN knows not to close with Tobi, says plenty about him not being back next year. We probably need more from Oubre and to a lesser degree Tobi for the future, we can't expect Jojo to go for 50 every game to win this series.

Biid needing to score 50 is not something you wish to be sustainable.

don't know if that happens tho.


No it's not sustainable. It's the Tobi and Hield being bums hurting us.

Embiid and Maxey have done their job 3 straight games. The 3rd and 4th highest players have given us nothing meanwhile every player that steps on the floor for the knicks they are contributing.

Why did this comment make me go there instead of stay away?

It's worse than I thought. Embiid drops 50 on 19 shots and he's somehow more of a fraud than when he plays badly, also this game was somehow the refs fault. Also it's Embiid who's the scumbag, there's literally like 20 posts earnestly saying he's a very bad human.

Way more than 20. A couple dozen just saying Robinson should dive at his knees or they hope he tears everything on a drive. Pathetic. And mods are silent. This place used to be a lot more strict with things like that

Eh, Oubre was great in the 1st and had some sweet plays in the 4th, Cam Payne was ridiculous in the 2nd, Batum and Lowry played really well too.

Knicks role players played better than ours but this wasn't the game to complain about the supporting cast. Tobias, yes, but that's the expectation at this point.

Really nice win. Embiid was great - I'd rather he didn't fall in love with the 3 ball, but he was clearly feeling it. We needed someone from the bench to step up and got a really nice boost from Payne. Still gave them too many second chances, and we really have to take away the 3 and make them settle for 2's.

Good win.

Refs called it fair, Knicks fans obv didn’t watch the game if they think it warranted more than flagrant 1 for embiid foul on Robinson. Also Robinson tweaked his ankle in a later play.

Both teams shot the ball well. Sixers just did it better tonight.

When is Josh Hart going to stop being ray allen?!?
