Hopefully somebody breaks their foot off in Embiid's dirty ass. I'm looking at you Simms!

Sims has the emotionless demeanor of the sociopath. Turn him loose on Embid

Leon Rose needs to pop up now and start crying like Daryl Morey. Send in those videos to the league office.

Leon Rose works in silence. I wouldn't be surprised if he already had the right people send in the necessary information to the league before the game ended.

The 76ers shot well above their grade yesterday. Despite all the BS Joel pulled, and the garage calls, it took a microwave 3rd quarter to beat the Knicks. I can't see that happening again. I want this team to go 3-1.

Morning my fellow Knick fans. We have to stay together. I'm still shocked by that dirty play MVP Embiid made. He lost his great player status with me. For two reason...He dont want no smoke with MItch. And instead of facing him- he purposely took him out the game- with that play. And I'm obviously not saying that Mitch is the better player...I'm saying that Mitch can guard Dirtbiid and on a good day can limit his scoring significantly.
He's not a warrior. He's an actress. A whining big cry baby.
Keep this in mind family...I havent watched the knicks (before december) since when Mitch was drafted. I've followed the league through highlights and box scores because I play BAF on ths board as some of you know. My view is objective...
I was shocked at what Embiid has become.
Hopefully the NBA will let the whistle favor the knicks on sunday because clearly Embiid should have but eject for that F2.
Dirtbiid!!!!!
You will hear us when your weakass comes to MSG!

Now that I had a night to sleep on it, I think everyone here deep down realizes we should be down 2-1 in this series and not up 2-1. It took a miracle bounce from Brunson and 3 missed calls for us to secure a game 2 victory. What the Sixers did in the third quarter can happen any night, that's how good Embiid and Maxey are. Despite all of this we never gave up and kept fighting back and that's what I feel will be the difference for us. We are more composed, smarter and do better in pressure situations. You can tell Embiid and the Sixers are very well in their feelings right now and it will continue to get worse as the series progresses. If this goes 7 and it very much can, I think we come out on top just due to the reasons I just stated.
~I Believe!~

No I disagree.
That was not a miricle bouce. You obviously dont shoot the ball on a regular basis...That forward roll into the rim is what happens when the ball rolls of of your finger tips and you have the right follow through.
you could be a kid and get it. It very common for a skilled shooter:
Spoiler:
In game two we had a lead with 2:37 to go. Jalen
Brunson was too aggressive and was not poised- the sixers took advantage and took the lead. We never quit and got back our lead that we had originally. So no that wasnt a "miracle shot/bounce.
As far as the calls...Thibs said it perfectly I want to see the 46 minute report. You obviously didnt see all of the "missed calls" that Brunson should have had throughout the game.
Dirtbiid formerly known as Embiid is a dirty player and actress. Period.
I just started watching this Knick team in December. I've been watching the Knicks since 94. This knick team is filled with winners.
You can have 1 superstar and a bunch of winning - clutch players and win it all. You cant dismiss the knicks winning ways in game 1 and 2 and say they should have been down 2 games. Just like a lay up- you have to finish the play. The knicks finished both games
and won and sadly for the sixers Dirtbiid grabbed mitch's feet mid air and should have been ejected so frankly "he shouldnt have been in the game".

If Knicks don't get physical back, we will risk having another 3rd quarter like that. Knicks have to hit them back, and hit them hard.
I'm posting this just because. The dirty team usually wins.

That's a terrible idea, we can't afford to lose OG to foul trouble, you put him on Embiid and he picks up some quick fouls and our defense collapses.
And Donte has been kept away from guarding Maxey for a reason, he cannot do it even at a respectable level.

Brunson has been incredibly important to the team's offense and getting him going has been a priority but OG's defensive impact is equally important and we need to find a way for him to have a bigger impact on that end of the floor. There has to be a better use of his talent than having him play 5-10 feet off of Maxey and praying that he misses a jump shot or simply doesn't just blow by him.
I know Thibs has his defensive principles but I would love to see how Maxey would react to being blitzed in the pick and roll with OG's length and someone like iHart in front of him. Some smaller guards struggle passing out of that situation and we have guys that are good at playing the passing lanes. Maxey has been playing with too much freedom imo. I would love to make him more uncomfortable out there or at least force someone else outside of their two headed monster to step up.
OG was a game changer for the team this year. Maxey's speed and shot making has nullified his impact. We finally got Brunson going last game offensively. We need to find a way to do the same for OG defensively.

They know about them already… they’re taking them down around the internet. They ain’t doing anything about it. They prob want this going to 7 for the ratings and drama.
