Tobias is hustling and making good decisions, but still somehow just can’t put together a big game. Somehow always feels like he’ll miss a shot and it leads to a basket on the other end.

Safe to say we got scammed hard with this guy.

Is Nurse really gonna go for the Maxey/Payne line up? that seems like a bad idea

When Payne shoots start to go in he thinks he's Jordan.

That was just a dumb drive

The Sixers should be manhandling this team in this game. This is pretty worrisome.

The team actually looks more like one that would be swept than one like that.

The sixers haven't been able to pull away and Brunson has played better as expected. It's neck and neck and the sixers need to stop giving up free points

I think the Knicks came out knowing Philly is better and they want to put the series away. Philly needs to put a run together

Can we get a game where Oubre doesn't have to choose between being good on defense or offense?

Bad defense on OG on back to back possessions. No need to worry about him taking an off the dribble three. Just stay in front of him and play to his dominant hand.
