Randle and Bogey. 35-45 points of offense right there.

Why was Joel so afraid down the stretch to take over and score?

Get em next season, Sixers! Get healthy Embiid.

NYKs moves on to 2nd round vs Pacers.
Common playoff foes during the '90s and early '00s.

I can't wait to watch the Pacers and Knicks beat the hell out of each other. It's like I am a kid again!

Lol is right. This dude has the nerve to say that about Brunson, who is always trying to make a basket when fouled as opposed to Embid who has no intention of making the shot but only going to the line. Biggest flopper I have ever seen..

Jalen certainly knows how to force refs to give him the call even when they don't want to, but there's certain fans of certain players that really can't throw that stone...and yeah, Jalen doesn't get so many And-1s by accident.

KD?

Sure. But more pressing, somebody that can start logging minutes by Monday night.

Were they trying to foul? Didn't look like it to me. With that much(little) time left it would be dumb to try fouling for exactly what Buddy did.

Ya they were 100%... Obviously not on a shot attempt...u can see Mcbride go in for the foul but Buddy faded away like an idiot lol.

Gonna be hard to top this series the rest of the playoffs.

Tobias Harris is the most average, generic NBA SF there is. He's perfectly mediocre and doesn't show up half the time.

And he's making 40m per year.

Read on Twitter

Embiid did the exact same thing and got a foul call

eyeatoma can't handle Embiid being a much better flopper than Brunson and losing AGAIN in the first round

Knicks held their own just fine when Randle got injured.

Only those that didn’t watch Knick games regularly are surprised they pulled this off. Brunson has cemented himself as a 1A. He didn’t make excuses after game 5 like Embiid kept doing all series. He manned up, took accountability and did his thing.

Maxey didn’t have a good game but props to him for being a man in this series, unlike his coach and Embiid.

OriginalRed · Post #8394 » by **OriginalRed** » Fri May 3, 2024 3:59 am

This is Maxey's team now. I think everyone's had enough of the Joel Embiid repeat story of every playoffs.

He's mentally soft, we saw it through the series.

Dude is never healthy. That is like saying the Clippers win with Kawhi. These guys are just snakebit.

Apart from the G2 and G3 vitriol, hope both our teams get healthy so we can sweep you next year.

Sixers can no longer point at game 2 after games 3 and 5. Fact is that the game the refs won for us was just game 2 and wasn’t nearly as impactful as the TWO games the refs won for Philly.

Really look at it. Game 3 is only won because the refs allowed embiid to go full bush league and injure his best defender in the first half. Game 5 was won because the refs missed a travel on Maxey with 20 seconds left that would’ve put any hopes of a comeback in a ditch. Seriously the only 2 times they won was due to the refs making huge errors. At least we won 3 games legit.

nick nurse looks like he is going to explode as he gives backhanded compliments to the knicks lol

Embiid grifted less than Brunson this series and that's saying something. Difference is Embiid embelishes on some of his fouls, Brunson does it every single time and acts like someone just tried to slice him with a **** katana.

Who wins?
