You see one team clawing their way back and then on the other side it's ...."here you go shoot some free throws".This is what kills the game

Hartenstein is a nice player to root for in spot minutes as the 'hustle guy' when you have a couple 1a stars and then really talented pieces after that filling out the main core. When guys like hartenstein are playing 20+ minutes, it's not so nice because that's a team that isn't going anywhere.
Then you have the ultimate 'try-hard' 6'2 guard who can't raise his game in the playoffs because he gives 100% effort in the regular season. Brunson would be a nice contributor as a microwave type scorer playing 20-23 minutes off the bench to come in and give second unit a spark. As the team's 'star' well......thats a team whose ceiling in the playoffs is lower than the ears of a kid with 47 chromosomes.

So one more time....this series aside(and who knows how it goes.....we sure as hell know how a potential series with boston against these try-hards would go)

But look at that hustle! Hartenstein and Hart never give up on a play!! Brunson is a fighter! All these villanova try-hards play so good together!

All that and a dollar fifty will buy a pack of bubbalicious. It sure as hell won't get an nba title though. So what is the point?

And I'm still pissed off

We just just need 2 minutes of the Knicks toughest defense, then score every time down and we can get this.

We needed to make Embiid a driver every time. He didn’t expend enough energy on offense and he’s resting on defense too.

Worst part about Joel going off is there is never any ebb and flow to the game. It’s a FG or a FTA.

Throw doubles and triples at him in game 4 and let Tobias Oubre Payne Reed Buddy Batum beat us.

This is not watchable

Throw on Bogie for some miracle 3s

Yeah, and Brunson played a solid game tonight too

Our bigs have to at least make Embiid fall a couple of times to test his knee...

We scored 8 in less than a minute, we can do it again.

I’m not even worried

Refs have been shaky tonight… I’m thinking they subconsciously want to make things up to the sixers from the last game. Mission accomplished.

It’s always been the defense that wins. Philly hasn’t played good offense till tonight.

If we get tonights Brunson for the rest of the series plus better defense we should be golden.

Divo's misses are the difference here.
