It's akin to the irresistibility of looking at a car accident. You hate it, but marvel at his skill in doing it, and fooling the refs. :lol:

Sixers got no fire. They are just FLAT. As FLAT as philly boners.

If Maxey proved that he was better than Embiid last game, does this mean Embiid took back the crown tonight?

Man does Philly look like ASS. Put it in gear, or get crushed on your home court.

I understand homers. I’m a Knicks fan. But there’s just no possible way sixers fan watch Embiid night in and night out and don’t find him pathetic and lame.

Even if he was on my team I’d want him gone. What a joke of a player.

jfc.. Joel with the pity whistles and they are still down 24-9

They needed to trade for a scoring wing/SG

I feel bad for Maxey, this roster needed to add something.. anything.

Embiitch is pathetic..he flops and baits every possession then when he shoves OG right as he's taking off (dangerous AF and dirty as well), he screams at the refs like it's an outrageous call. simply pathetic.

Embiids defense is one of the most overrated things in Nba. Knicks getting paint points at will when they can draw him out. Mofos act like hes Hakeem but his mobility, feet and quickness have never been close

Wonder if Embiid will quit in the 1st quarter tonight or will he save it for the 4th quarter like in the last game? :lol:

As a Knicks fan, I LOVE nurse’s coaching decisions. No timeout as we stomp dat ass? Perfect!
No rest for embiid in the second half?

DiVincenzo did exactly what you'd expect from a gamer. Defense basically shutting the water off on everyone else and letting Embiid iso.
