Game Thread: New York Knicks (1-0) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (0-1) Monday, April 22nd 7:30pm

Yea…also, it’s not like any of these results are unexpected. The way they’re playing Brunson, with a short rotation…they’re gonna take fouls and give up offensive rebounds. There’s always gonna be a trade off.

Nick Nurse is a good coach though. We gotta have some dudes chirping about Embiid flops on our end.

Thibs is not the type to complain about the other team getting free throws but he will definitely complain if our guys are being whacked and abused with no whistles.

Having come over to the Knicks since the OG trade, I feel like Brunson doesn't get the star treatment of others his level.

On the other hand, the change in refereeing since the ASG, allowing more physical defense, has continued in the playoffs so far. They've been consistent at least.

And we survived Scott Foster. Anyone know tonight's refs?

John Goble, Courtney Kirkland, Gediminas Petraitis, John Butler

Was it him or his brother that f*cked us and called that foul on Brunson?

methinks you and whoever 'and 1ed' your post didn't read properly

quite a GIF farm you've got there

Methinks YOU didn't read it properly!!!

i didn't read my own post properly?

do you recycle the same incredibly lame GIFs or keep stockpiling new ones? how 'bout exclamation points?

keep enjoying whatever you're partaking in this evening. hope the bucks don't give ya a similar greeting in the next round. i'm out

You obviously can't read being a Bulls fan and all but, I'll point it out for you. You came to a Knicks forum talking about you hope we lose. So, STFU AND GTFO. Do you comprehend it now?

His brother

I mean its probably the right move to throw this game, sit Embiid, dont bother having Maxey suit up, try to get 2 wins in Philly...

But we all know its gamesmanship and both are playing tonight lol

The actual poll

I can get with this poll. Only the few and the proud can play here in NY. We prolly wouldn't want 90% of the players that voted on this so I can appreciate the sifting of talent. Just because you're good doesn't mean you're good for New York!!!

If Philly cared anything about saving the rest of his career, they'd play it safe than sorry and list him as out.

Too bad it appears Philly doesn't care much about the rest of his career.

i’m kind of losing respect for them squeezing whatever juice they can from him while they can.. dirty business

This what its about...get as many wins as possible so they can get as many home games -for that bottom line DG...

They did this with Embiid...Boston did this with their starters before the season ended...Now Maxey...
Do they think Thibs will fall for it? FOH...
