Harden and Embiid combo is frightening once it truly clicks

How many extra whistles do refs bring to each 76rs game now? I bet all 3 refs have to use new ones already at the halftime.

Harden looking back to normal. This is why I was against the trade from the start.

Simmons won't even play. Nets should have held on. They would have waltzed their way to a Championship.

It's almost like the Knicks can't guard him. Crazy huh?

Embiid sees a title with Harden on the team you can tell. His entire demeanor is different and he’s got some pep in his step. Harden too. If everybody’s healthy it should be the Heat vs Sixers in the ECF. Dont think BKN has enough time to gel and to be honest I’m not sold on Nash as the coach. Kudos to Morey for holding out.

If the Knicks want to stop fouling Embiid they should stop being lazy and reaching constantly. Not sure what you want the refs to do when some of these are so obvious.

Embiid has given almost no effort to get rebounds and little effort in guarding. Not that it matters in this game but he only looks like and MVP in one aspect of the game

I'm just here to complain about the fouls even though I know both embiid and harden generate a lot of foul calls. Im still going to complain like it's news to me

His defense picks up later in the game. He knows he has to pace himself and stay out of foul trouble.

He used to go all out and that's why he was always gassed in the 4th.

Harris replaced with a Robert Horry type guy would be so lethal in this lineup.

There's nothing you can do on that Harden/Embiid pick, only thing I can think of is completely blitzing it and leaving Thybulle/Harris completely open.
