It took Shannon and Legs to say it was more than Maxey getting fouled. It was the hustle, offensive rebound and made shots from the Knicks. Give us our props. I also agree with Shannon, the refs not calling that to determine the game.


SAS is a lot like some fans here - specifically FN11, KnicksGod, seren, spree8, sol537 and Bob Ross. Reading some of their posts right before what happened is embarrassing.

I don't understand why he's bringing up another team's game when his team went down 0-2

I want the damn sweep. Need Brunson to step up, and the team needs to put together a complete game.


I will have faith that Brunson will figure it out. Philly has bothered him all season, so clearly they deserve a ton of credit for their gameplan against him, but I also think he's pressing a bit and either moving a beat too fast or too slow on possessions.

But there is no doubt in my mind that Brunson will crack a game open in this series at some point.

After all he did for this franchise and for the leader and warrior he's been, it's actually unfathomable to me how any true Knick fan can doubt him.


He’ll make an adjustment, and I think that Philly has given us their best shot while we’ve underperformed. And we’re up 2-0. Very encouraging

I honestly think that is a big part of why people don't consider him the GOAT. His resume stands for itself, you really can't argue with his success and numbers and talent....but man...MJ (as much as he pissed me off because we couldn't beat him). Was so much more likeable. Similar feelings towards Kobe...I just enjoyed them more because they didn't come will all that other BS that LeBron does.

People cried when we lost Randle, but we are very lucky to have one season of the Nova Knicks. This feels more like ncaa March madness than the nba playoffs right now, and I’m loving it. Randle is the second best basketball player on our roster, but sometimes the sum of the parts does not equal the whole. This group is very special as is.


Don't be ridiculous, with randle there's less need for scrappy plays because the knicks are conformably ahead, they cant focus jb like they are now, oubre and harris cant guard randle, if they gonna put embid on him and that'll be it for his knees

I don’t see it. Donte and Hart combined for 40. That number tanks with healthy Randle whose playoff PPG is nowhere near 20.

If you want to see the devastating psychological effect on role players of having two alpha gunners, look no further than the disappearance of Tobias Harris.

I realize it’s counterintuitive but the chemistry between these Nova Knicks >>>> the individual scoring talent of Randle.

Complaining about officiating is one thing. We all do it as fans, and I fully understand, when something doesn't go the way you want in a crucial moment, being angry and voicing your displeasure with the way the game was called.

But the Nurse/Embiid postgame stuff from the first two games is a sign of potential weakness to me. When you say things like Embiid's "we should be up 2-0", Nurse's stubborn game 1 postgame "we're not going to change anything we're the better team", lie about what you actually did (Nurse saying he called timeout twice last night), and immediately have an organizational source release to the media that you're filing a complaint, it is almost guaranteed to be a result of your entire team not being prepared properly for this moment.

What I mean by that is, it seems like Nurse and the coaching staff prepared the players for this series as if they were the 2 seed and the Knicks were the 7. They told them that the only reason that they were even in this position is because Embiid missed time, and that they were the rightful better team and higher seed. The kind of postgame reactions you saw from the Sixers organization across the board reflects an entire organization that was conditioned to believe they were better than their opponent, to the extent that it would be easier (see Paul Reed's pre-series comments).

When the lights go on and it ISN'T easy, when you get metaphorically get punched in the face really hard, when you literally get outmuscled for a rebound and legally thrown to the ground...you suddenly aren't ready to handle that moment. You were told you were way better, you were told that you were going to win, and you weren't prepared for reality.

Now might the Sixers be way better, comeback, and win this series? Absolutely. But because of their histrionics that's their only path now. By buying into the idea that they were a level above their opponent they've put a ton of unnecessary pressure on themselves the rest of this matchup. And if they aren't the clearly better team? These past two postgames could show that they weren't prepared, and it's tough to switch horses midstream in the playoffs.

He's anti-competition. I don't know any other sports GOAT you can say that about.

Just shut the f*ck and up persevere. Instead, he's crying on the podium and trying to do a dramatic mic drop like this is some after school special.

Gonna hard disagree on that one. These two games wouldn’t even be close if we had Randle. The reason Brunson is being played the way he is being played is because there’s no Randle out there. Randles entire game shifted this season to less threes, more bully ball, paint oriented offense and kicking out to our open shooters.

Nobody on the sixers can bang with Randle in the paint and he’d be having a field day this series against this hobbled Embiid. Shooters would be wide open everywhere including Brunson who would have way more room to operate.

To also comment on another teams game is so weak. Like you just finished a playoff game don't really even know the context behind the knicks/sixers game but he thinks because he is Lebron he can comment on it.

He is really insinuating the league is rigged because things didn't go his way...I mean talk about cry baby...they blew a 20 pts lead...thats not on the officials.

Shameful. If you're mad about what happened in your game fine, but don't pull in another game to try to make a point. The refs let both teams play on during that stretch. I counted multiple fouls that weren't called for Brunson and Donte when they were getting hit.

Fuqqing Thibs makes them practice this -- so they're ready. It's better than a lot of stuff NBA players do between games. Just ask Ja Morant. :lol:

idk, it seems to me that all but 3 teams in the history of the nba that have won a ring has had at least 2 alpha gunners; the 3 teams being the 94 rockets, 04 pistons and 11 mavs.
