No he gave up one of the most idiotic 4 point plays I’ve ever seen when you should never be jumping at the shooter in that scenario and then 1-2 at the line would have been enough to seal it

Mitch can be so dumb sometimes. Like I promise I wouldn't care if he's not here next year.

Thibs didn't use Precious/OG lineup after they stopped Maxey/Embiid multiple times in Game 4.

I really don't understand the thought process. You have one of the best defensive wing/bigs on your bench who can easily switch onto Maxey and you keep Mitch out there who cannot guard Maxey on the perimeter after a switch.

Stupid stupid play.

I dont agree that it was Mitch...this goes on Hart for not making both free throws...


There's plenty of blame to go around -- but Mitch cost us a 4-point play

Mitch with the bonehead defense on the maxey contest but Hart choked at the line. It's nice that we give him all the love for his hussle but you gotta have some sort of skill at some **** point. You suck at everything else offensively but you can't make a **** freethrow, you upset the basketball gods and of course maxey was going to make that three.

it was a choke job in the sense of being an elite team and not closing a team out. This proved that they are not at that level yet.
Hopefully they learned from this.

you're 7ft. why in the hell are you jumping??? Then on the last play he's playing drop coverage when he knows they need a 3 to seal it.

Mitch played hard and was happy for him but yeah shouldn’t go away from Precious after G4 IN HINDSIGHT

I say let Thibs go … he’s not all there and now he’ll have the stench of loser on him

I think 6ers win the series

Very disappointing loss.
Played like Fizdale Knicks at the end.
Should have called TO at end of regulation.
Nothing easy for this team & fans.
We have two more chances.

There's no coming back from this. Team looks mentally and physically gassed.

76ers called the Knicks bluff and will continue to force Brunson to make all the plays.

Game 2 and DDV was a fluke. Hart's game 1 and 2 was luck. By the time Brunson figured things out, the rest of the team forgot how to shoot.

I wasn’t making that proclamation b/c I was gassed off our play. You could see the PHI guys didn’t come to take the W. These dudes are talented but no balls outside of Maxey
