Hartenstein is a free agent this summer no?

Do we have one? IQ is close but I haven't yet see that explosiveness from him.

I think Nwora and Gary Trent have it in them they can be just as good probably better then Maxey

I think you're joking. I sure hope you are at least.

We have never had that guy...even in the Kyle Lowry days.

What a damn finish to that Knicks Philly game. Great series

That reverse call was BS but it is nice to see Kyle playing big minutes and making game winning plays this late in his career

Damn Lowry **** up, a shame cuz he was so good in the last few mins

Should’ve called the timeout instead of forcing the inbound

Whoooooaaa

That block on Murray from LeBron was crazy. His hand was inside the hoop as Jamal was trying to dunk it. How he get such strong hands?

Watching these playoffs just makes me realize how far away we are. Like we're not even close.

76ers fans are livid cause apparently Nick tried to call timeout and got ignored. If Kyle hits his free throws, 76ers win.

Edit - you can see on the replay Nick only called timeout when he saw that Maxey dropped the ball.

I'm torn. I love Kyle but when you're rooting for the other team you see all the dirty sneaky tricks he does. To make up for loss of speed.

Hit a huge late 3 though

Sixers are the 7 seed too lol. They look like a nightmare to play in a series too. Embiid/Maxey plus big wings Harris/Oubre/Batum. You have to go Ham regular season in todays NBA the first round matchups are everything

OG goes 10/3/1 lol.

But he was so clutch in catching the ball on an uncontested rebound in the final minute!

This guy literally gets away with murder compared to other players who have actual responsibilities. Siakam had a game like that and there's an entire hater population waiting too pounce. So bizarre.

Yep. It's going to be a solid 3 seasons or more before we really start to see something brewing imo. I still think we don't have 2 of our top 3 guys on the roster yet. We lack the athletes, shooting, and the high end talent that makes a team deadly in the playoffs.

It's going to take a lot of right decisions over the next half decade to get to a place we're used to.

What’s bizarre is how freely you tell us how very little of the game you understand without actually telling us you don’t understand the game.

Knicks and Sixers aren't even championship caliber teams, even though it is an entertaining series....we've already seen what it takes to win a championship.

Not even in the same stratosphere. But the journey to get there will be fun....I hope.

they're a legit 2nd seed (in the east) when healthy.....that's why this series is so competitive. Knicks have a very tough road to a championship.

Ooh here we go. Do you police the siakam critiques?

Why does OG get this bizarre baby treatment?

"If he never touches the ball....he can never make a mistake".

Spare me the cliches about "knowing the game" smh. There is no such thing as a bad OG game for you. Clearly. Because he just had two bad games where he was maybe the 7th or 8th best player on his team. If u can't see that then you are clearly biased.

Would take our situation over the bulls easily. Af least we’re rebuilding. I would hate to be the bulls or nets right now.
