This is somehow a more enjoyable slow gritty game than the cavs-magic one for example.

I don't know Knicks fans. Embiid at 70% still looks like the best player on the court.

I would be worried moving forward.

Yeah, but when Embiid flops he can kill someone out there at 300lbs. No regard for human ankles, knees, or groin.



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.

Knicks need to stop running every play through Brunson. Getting so predictable

Old man Lowry has played every minute so far. Between Nurse and Thibs, nobody in this series is going to have any knees left by the time they get to the next series.

Holy crap can the refs call it consistently. 76ers getting every whistle. Knicks getting almost nothing despite being fouled harder

Sixers offense look a lot better away from Miami's junk defenses.

Embiid’s flopping literally tore his own teammates’ ACL, not to mention another flop that led to him stomping directly on a player’s head in a sequence that was very lucky not to have caused severe injury. Embiid’s flopping is demonstrably highly dangerous to the safety of every single other player on the court.
