2024 NBA Playoffs - East 1st Round: #2 New York Knicks vs. #7 Philadelphia 76ers (NYK WINS 4-2)

If Embiid were healthy…

He’s never healthy and he always comes up short. Give me
a break with these hypotheticals. Randle and Bogey are both hurt and out for entire playoffs.

It's maximum strength copium.

[Hatrick Ewing]

Lol is right. This dude has the nerve to say that about Brunson, who is always trying to make a basket when fouled as opposed to Embid who has no intention of making the shot but only going to the line. Biggest flopper I have ever seen..

Jalen certainly knows how to force refs to give him the call even when they don't want to, but there's certain fans of certain players that really can't throw that stone...and yeah, Jalen doesn't get so many And-1s by accident.

Embiid grifted less than Brunson this series and that's saying something. Difference is Embiid embelishes on some of his fouls, Brunson does it every single time and acts like someone just tried to slice him with a **** katana.

I'm not sure what a katana is but the Sixers sure got a katana full of Brunson today!! So excited!!

[Im Coming Home]

Sixers fans crying about Brunson's FTAs, he actually gets fouled when the foul is called, just cause he extra sells it because he HAS to, doesn't mean anything. Watch Embiids calls, half the time the offensive player didn't even touch the guy and the whistle gets blown.

Plus Brunson leads the playoffs with the most drives to the paint or is like top 2, of course he should get FTAs and yet Embiid nearly averaged double his FTAs

[Butch718]

Nick Nurse can barely give the Knicks credit in the post game, this man is pathetic honestly... how hard is it to give the Knicks full on props..

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.

[Chuck Everett]

Congratulations to Knicks, this is the best series in this year play off. But I think if Embiid healthy, they should win this series .

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

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

man tobi really had a donut tonight, 40 MILLION

Losing to the knicks without Randle seems insane for this 76ers team to go through.

Randle chokes in the playoffs. This was a blessing in disguise as his mins are going to blue collar players that play hard no matter how bad they are offensively

Nah. The Knicks (and Brunson in particular) are a lot better in the playoffs with Randle than without him. The #s are pretty clear, yeah Randle's individual #s were butt but his On-Off was a clear positive and Brunson's efficiency tanked without Julius.

Great game and great series.

Get em next season, Sixers! Get healthy Embiid.

NYKs moves on to 2nd round vs Pacers.
Common playoff foes during the '90s and early '00s.

I can't wait to watch the Pacers and Knicks beat the hell out of each other. It's like I am a kid again!

Same, we are probably around the same age. lol

Gonna have to fire this up before tip-off

Ehhh with Bogey gone too (who was acquired as Randle insurance), we are really light offensively.

I dunno. Pacers aren't as physical, and doesn't play defense. Knicks should be easy favorites here.

On Vividseats looking for tickets in Indy already lol

I have to agree. If I was the 76ers or any PO team, I'd love to play against Randle. He's easily frustrated, sucks at defense, brings the team down with him. If he's not scoring, he offers nothing else.

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

Just seems like a bad matchup for Indy, but wtf do I know.

"iF eMbiId WaS hEaLtHy"

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.

[KnicksGadfly]

lol just cause Brunson kicked your *** don't mean Brunson grifted more than Embiid. Man basically got away with injuring Mitch and not getting ejected.

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

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

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.

Come on dude, don't go full HF on us. You're supposed to be the cool Embiid-homer.

[Oscirus]

Embid did well in this series how much better do yall think he would've been healthy?
