Brunson just got a phantom call stop

Need to keep the off ball movement consistent when Embiid has the ball. Won't allow Knicks defenders to converge on Embiid.

Remember that Doc Rivers isn't coaching PHI anymore. Embiid looks like a different player this time around

Embiid looks 100%

Worst quarter I've seen from the Knicks in a minute.

Bad combo.

Nurse is the difference

I love the more Embiid dominates the more hate comes his way.

He's slowly taking Lebron's spot as most hated player in the league.

Newsflash: Knicks need to score.

Also, isn't Lowry and Batum their most "oldest" guys? Yet they are the ones without rest so far? lol

Regardless Knicks win the series. This is why the bucks and cavaliers purposely lost to avoid a potential 2 vs 7 series matchup.

It also helps that he's got a PG in Lowry who can throw a perfect post entry pass.

Refs are a joke. Embiid isn't allowed to be breathed on.

JustBuzzin · Post #454 » by **JustBuzzin** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 10:56 pm

I love Embiid literally!

If there's a silver lining for the Knicks it's that we missed a bunch of good looks.

Thibs vs Nurse :lol:

This series will take at least half a year off these players' careers

People also wanted to troll Embiid in the playin instead of appreciating that Adebayo is an elite defender and Spo is an ATG coach.
Weird haters on the board

Oh got it, so everyone else is allowed to flop, but not Embiid.
You think I'm defending a Knick player? Get real. Most NBA players flop, but when a 7' 300lbs guy acts like he's been shot by an elephant gun with light contact, it's absurd.

I get that it looks terrible. The majority of his calls are not flops though. As you can see players are pulling his jersey inside out. The dude get's absolutely mauled.

You've never seen Nurse coach before? In the playoffs he will ride his best players.

Who wins?
