Embiid has NEVER played with someone that can get him easy baskets, ever

Knicks are targeting Harden on defense. Seems to be working.

I tuned in the game and thought it was a home game for Philly until I saw Knicks sign on the floor

Maxey being a 40% shooter from 3 changes his upside completely.

If he up his 3 attempts next year to 5 and keep his % he will became a beast.

Its hilarious how we are repeatedly told that the Knicks own NY and have one of the best fan bases in the NBA.

This is now the third time I've seen opposing fanbases take over MSG. Warriors, Nets and Sixers.

Not by any means saying the Nets have a ton of clout in NYC yet.

But the hard truth is, people in NYC don't care about the Knicks anymore. Not nearly as much as they used to.

This **** wouldn't be happening in LA or Boston.

They don't have the grip on NYC that people pretend they do.

The fans are chanting from tip off for the opposing team in back to back games lol

Sixers running a lot of isos for Embiid. Not really efficient.
