This is extremely inappropriate. I know you’re upset that your team was eliminated, but this isn’t the route to take. Take some time away from the GB and cool off.

Meh, the better team won. If you discard the closeness of the score, the Knicks had a sizable lead in the fourth in almost every game. This should have been a comfortable win after the OG dunk. Let's go OG!

It's a weird comparison because Embiid is actually playing through injuries. Kawhi does not.

Kawhi tried. You see him go up for that dunk and hold onto the rim for 7 seconds? Dude was scared to land because he knew his leg was capital-F F#%KED

Oh, for sure. But that's what I mean. He can't play through injuries at all. If he's even a little off, he doesn't play period anymore.

Because him and most of his team outside of Maxey are losers. They constantly made excuses, projected their frustrations on the Knicks, for things they were guilty of doing all series.

In all honesty Nurse and Embiid are pathetic. When your leaders don’t take accountability, they end up blaming everyone except themselves.

100%. Starts at the top with Morey. Loser mentality.

Don't worry i am sure Morey has put in a grievance with the league already. He will hold them accountable!

As if the Knicks don't have multiple guys out for the playoffs, including one all-nba player, 3 time allstar who would AT THE VERY LEAST bring attention away from Brunson.

We always have to talk about hypotheticals with Embiid to make him greater or some ****. This is who he is. Enough with the hypotheticals. He’s a choker in the playoffs. He fails in the 4th quarter. He’ll have some injuries and he’s the only MVP to never make it to the Conference Finals. That’s on HIM. That’s not to keep placing blame on everyone else around him.

Congrats Knicks fans, it was a great series and the Knicks play their hearts out so mad respect. Brunson was terrific and Hart hit the dagger.

Morey paid the price for acquiring all expiring deals instead of getting Embiid and Maxey some help so he better use that 50m wisely this summer.

Dude is never healthy. That is like saying the Clippers win with Kawhi. These guys are just snakebit.

Nah that's not true. Kawhi was injured when he played in 2019. He was laboring after the 2nd round series with the Bucks and alluded to playing with pain through the playoffs in the post championship game interview. Lowry said everyone's playing injured in that interview. Said they weren't gonna talk about what they went through. Made no excuses.

Pacers fans aren't going to let Knicks fans invade like Philadelphia. It's not as easy to get there. Philly was just a train ride away.

Bro is mad MAD.

:lol:

Sixers fans crying about fouls when they have Joel Embiid on their team who regularly gets gifted PHANTOM calls, is so funny to me. LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

The last five years since leaving Toronto say otherwise.

You joke but Brown out coached Nurse back in 2019 in that Sixers/Raps series. That was closer than it should have been and most of the Raps roster underperformed. Raps were a decent-sized favorite going in.

Not to mention the amount of wasted possessions to try and "get him going" instead of putting the ball in the hands of Brunson

Yep exactly

It's usually a spin move turnover.

He's great as a treadmill season player. Will get you a lot of points, minutes, and even Ws. But fails in the POs when it actually matters. It's almost like he gets mad when the other team actually plays defense.

...that or needing ankle surgery doesn't help your efficiency, but what do I know, I think that a player gritting it out through a serious injury to help his team is a good thing :dontknow:

Healthy Embiid is a unicorn. No excuses.

Everyone is piling on embiid lol
Why is maxey off the hook. This was a terrible game for him.

Appreciate you man. You have a really good team and you're gonna get to get rid of Harris too. It was a really good series -- close and many lead changes.

Who wins?
