Monica is so good! Needs to be the full time commentator when Clyde retires.

Agree, but don't say that again! I want Clyde as long as he wants to do it.

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.


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.

ALL QUIT. NO GRIT. FAKE SH*T.


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.


He of all people should be the last person to bark up that tree.

Embiid to me has always had an air of negativity about him as a human being/personality, and I believe it’s a strong factor in why he folds year-in year-out when it matters. Just my opinion, but Randle has similar energy.

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.


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.

Well, call me crazy. But I’d rather have our second scorer be the guy who won championships at every level — HS, College (2x), and the NBA — than a guy who has mentally collapsed each and every opportunity he’s had in the playoffs.

For every scoring play Randle makes, you get two or three where he’s pouting, confused, or spin cycling to noplace. Give me these three Nova Knicks every day + Sunday.

It’s a nice idea on paper, but the current squad is proving the value of experience and chemistry in real-time. Money on the line, would you really bet on Randle over the Nova Three? Seems like bad money to me, but hey.

I think Monica might end up going national honestly because she's really good. But yeah I would think MSG would be wise to throw her a bag to keep her on the team for when Clyde decides he just wants to relax.

At the end of the interview, Divo said THEY PRACTICE THIS SITUATION - a dagger 3, missed shot, rebound and another 3 point attempt.

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:


These guys don't wanna work or get coached up, they want sh*t handed to them. It's a shame what the league has become.

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.


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.

Our title chances with Randle were maybe 1%. I’d say they’re now like 2-3%.

Randle notwithstanding I’m just happy we get to witness the unreal team chemistry and grit of this current crew.

I don't know why people keep trying to shoehorn a narrative about Randle. With Randle in this series, many of the defensive stances they're throwing at Brunson is gone. This season Randle leant into bully ball. He would be destroying Harris and Batum in the interior. Brunson would be free. While they play good team defense, Philly lacks individual defenders. Randle makes JB's job easier.

The players on this team has thrown so much support at Randle. Some fans need to cut the crap and do the same.

Sorry, mate, but you're outta your mind. Once OG got here, that chemistry clicked for everyone -- including Randle.

Good lord those commentators are insufferable.

-Brunson "push-off no call."
-Maxey "throw to the ground."
-Nurse calling for time-out

I get Breen is also a national broadcaster so he won't be as biased but you have to appreciate how he never acts like this. What a joke the Philly crew is.


I don’t even mind that they’re homers but they’re so boring and monotone. That should be heart breaking for them and they barely react at all. Clyde gets mad all the time and yells “noooo.” Just 0 emotion at all.

I was at the game last night. Section 210. Center court. First playoff game I've ever been to.

The feeling after that Divi 3 was an unexplainable moment. The Garden was electric. Just an insane atmosphere inside and outside the arena. It was one of the greatest moments in sports I've ever experienced - maybe the greatest.

Incredible feeling. Still don't have many words for it. Loved every minute of being there - except when we were losing at the end with Brunson bricks.

If there is anything to be concerned about, it's Jalen Brunson. Guy has looked absolutely horrible the first 2 games. His misses are way off. He doesn't look comfortable at all. Is the Sixers gameplan that good or is there something else going on? I've never seen him play this terrible. And he was taking too many shots at the end of the game for being so cold. I'm glad that 3 bounced in but, man, he was awful. Maxey has been outplaying him. I hope Thibs will change it up and give him a better opportunity to succeed.

Encouraging to win with Brunson playing terrible but we need him to get back to his game if we want to make real noise.

Other than that, very happy to be a part of the festivities last night.

And most importantly - FCK EMBIID.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Randle would free up Brunson alot... I know he can be a bonehead but his passing out of double teams improved (which I suspect thier would be substantially less common with our 3 pt shooters). We would be a better team with Randle by a country mile, if not just a big stronger banger in the middle, regardless we should beat Philly with or without him.

That’s a big fat “maybe.” What’s 100% definitely sure is that we wanted Brunson, Donte, Josh, OG and iHart on the court to finish Game 2.
