This from @MOConnor_NBA back in January when the (very stupid) arguments about Embiid ducking good opponents were happening rung true with me then and all holds up extremely well rightstorickysanchez.com/p/012924
A really poetic way to bookend his time here (though I don't really blame him for missing the one today, Hart had a great contest)

Knicks had a 73% OREB rate in the 32 offensive possessions with Hartenstein off the floor.
Knicks had a 73% OREB rate in the 32 offensive possessions with Hartenstein off the floor.
Most embarrassing part of the rebounding differential is that the Knicks did it without a true center on the floor. They closed with what is basically a small-ball lineup — a 6’1”, 6’1”, 6’4”, 6’8”, and 6’8” lineup. Just an appalling gap in effort and focus levels.
From the midway point of the 3rd quarter on, the Sixers were absolutely horrific in every facet of the game. Couldn’t make open looks, couldn’t make the right passing reads, horrible effort and focus on the boards. Blame everyone including the coach
Yeah it’s just the first round but that was a statement performance from Embiid, especially coming off of his comments after Game 2. Not just his best playoff game but probably his most motivated and iron-willed playoff game. An “I’m not letting us lose” type of performance.
Most infuriating part of the Hart 3PT barrage is most of his misses have been absolute BRICKS
New piece for @RTRSPodcast with five thoughts on Sixers-Knicks, including why the series is far from over, the disastrous trade deadline, Embiid’s future, and the viability of helping off of Josh Hart rightstorickysanchez.com/p/sixers-knick…
Every Celtics loss gives me the joy of like 5 Sixers wins. I’m 5-2 in the playoffs so far. I’m already in the second round
If Oubre is going to continue to be useless for the rest of the series I'm going to at least need him to call the refs bitches again.
Obviously losing that game is heartbreaking, but the outlook going forward is pretty simple -- if Joel somehow starts feeling better physically, I still think they can come back. If he doesn't, they are beyond cooked
1) How did the ball get knocked away on the inbounds pass? Did Maxey get his arm held or did he just let it go through his hands? 2) Embiid did not even attempt to box out Hartenstein. Inexcusable.

That is one of the worst losses I've ever seen in any sport
Embiid not boxing out, fumbling the ball away on offense, hardly getting back on defense. Looks to be moving way worse than he did in the first half. Not a good sign for his knee.

Nico Batum compared the Sixers' urgency for tonight's game to the play-in game, where it’s essentially “Game 7 for us now” on the brink of elimination. “We know what we have to do to win...We just have to stick together, be together, put up a big fight and see what happens.”
Mental lapses, bad effort, and bad angles. This is basic stuff that the Sixers failed to do down that stretch that cost them the win. It’s really that simple.
Can never get behind the idea of "well they tried, the Knicks are the better rebounding team, what're ya gonna do" Every one of these would have been a Sixers rebound if they box out properly I guess you could say it's more about focus than effort but still
When a guy shooting a FT gets his own rebound, id say you’re not focused and not showing effort.

@MOConnor_NBA I do think it's notable that only two of these are from the fourth -- which is the stretch everyone is fixating on and which, to my eye at least, they mostly battled through and just came up short. Those two you isolate were lapses though, can't deny that.
This from @MOConnor_NBA back in January when the (very stupid) arguments about Embiid ducking good opponents were happening rung true with me then and all holds up extremely well rightstorickysanchez.com/p/012924
@MOConnor_NBA God the scores are practically identical
@MOConnor_NBA He’s an excellent fifth best player being asked to produce on both ends like the third best player
@MOConnor_NBA Those two fouls on jump shots in the fourth today were devastating.
@MOConnor_NBA If he has leaves to be a super role guy give him 10-12 a year. If he wants more money thank him for his service and wish him best in future endeavors
The exact same corner three Tobias missed in Game Four against Toronto in 2019. You have to admire the symmetry.
After the Knicks called the timeout, Jalen Brunson went up to talk to a ref, so Kyle Lowry ran off the Sixers bench and went all the way down to the other side of the court to also talk to the same ref.
You should read/watch all of Dan’s stuff but this is especially worth a watch if you want to know why they ran the same play and how the Knicks had no answer each time
The Sixers spammed "Double Drag/77 Empty" action during the 3rd quarter of last night's game. For @RTRSPodcast, I broke down how that strategy broke the game wide open:
@MOConnor_NBA His misses are so bad that they’re all offensive rebounds because they carom 15 feet from the rim
@MOConnor_NBA Got totally lost in the ref nonsense at the end, but Nurse's strategy to let him shoot was paying off in dividends toward the end of Game 2
Porzingis on the challenge #Heat present: "They make us think. They do this on one possession, then they do another thing on another possession, then they switch, then they don't. So that can freeze you a little bit, because you start to think a little bit, then you rush."

@Avi_WA @MOConnor_NBA This is it for me
.@MOConnor_NBA nailed it. Outside of Maxey's growth, this should be the biggest takeaway from the season. rightstorickysanchez.com/p/sixers-knick…
