Yo Knicks. No 21 foul shots for Embiid, refs didn’t make any questionable calls against you, you were up 6 with 29 seconds left in regulation, scored the first 5 points of OT, up 3-1 on your home court, and lost. You had three starters play over 50 minutes. Looking a bit tired.
Crazy thought: Were the Knicks in desperation mode? Three starters played over 50 minutes with Hart playing all 53. Why?
Nick Nurse needs to give Mo Bamba all of Paul Reed’s minutes. Reed is just a poor matchup against the Knicks.
Tobias Harris finally stepped up, scored 19 points and the Sixers win. That is not a coincidence. If he can give the Sixers 19 a night the Sixers are tough to beat. But there’s no guarantee that’ll happen.
All my comments from tonight regarding Morey I’ll stand by. But tonight’s game was all about Maxey stepping up when he knew Embiid had nothing left. This game puts Maxey right up there with Andrew Toney and his 46 vs. Boston. He was just incredible.
When the series began, I said it’ll come down to the “others” in this series. The Knicks had others who stepped up; the Sixers did not. End of story.
Glad Boston Scott is getting paid. He just signed with the Rams.
Watching the Sixers just wither away, do you trust Morey to rebuild the roster this summer? This is the most important offseason since 2019. If Morey blows it, it’ll set the franchise back to The Process. #NBAPlayoffs2024 #Sixers #NBAonTNT
Problem with taking an early challenge you win might win the challenge but you end up getting screwed the rest of the game and can’t do anything about it.
Just heard back to back callers on @975Middays rip Joel Embiid… HE DROPPED 50 LAST NIGHT IN A PLAYOFF GAME!!! As I have been saying for a while now, Joel Embiid is the most disrespected athlete in Philadelphia
Great win by the Sixers. They need three more and it’s not going to be easy. Knicks are a serious squad. Just hope the refs let the players decide the game.
Adam Silver, the NBA, and a Knicks agenda IS A THING!!! And the TNT game crew is bought in. Sorry, but this is really bad.
Sixers getting hosed and the Knicks are bitching about every call.
Turned on TNT and it seems I tuned into the Knicks broadcast!!!
I am sure there are people in the Sixers locker room who believe that Batum should be starting over Harris. I guess money talks.
Adam Silver has to live with the fact that now the league is in bed with sportsbooks, the fan base of a particular team or even player is going to think the fix is in. Somehow, he needs to find a way to keep refs accountable. And this isn’t just about tonight’s Sixers game.
Hey Terrel Harris - Your son played 41 minutes and scored 10 points. Hope he enjoys next season in Detroit. Disgusting. #NBAPlayoffs #Sixers #NBAX

Maxey’s 4th Q was the first time since Allen Iverson where I’ve said “oh this guy has THAT killer spirit” This absolutely matters shaping the Sixers offense now (and moving forward)
Get a legitimate backcourt costar for Maxey & turn Embiid into a suped up Brook Lopez that averages 22-24 PPG while being a DPOY candidate
Might be crazy to say but who cares I’ll say it anyway….Embiid might have more of an impact on the game when he’s not the focal point of the offense scoring wise
@MarkPerner HA! Yea, something tells me we’ll be waiting longer than that. Better chance of Siakam joining us.
@MarkPerner It’s not. Idk what it is exactly, but even when he scores, looks like it’s awkward and he potentially even catches teams off guard with that. Guess the pre-season talk of nurse turning him into siakam was little premature
@MarkPerner We just have to tell the truth about Paul...Love the story...Love that he was able to chase his dream and make it to the NBA and make some money...But he's not an NBA SF, PF or C...He needs to either go back to the GLeague or overseas
@MarkPerner Win or lose, at least he single handed kept our window cracked. Crazy how good he has gotten
@MarkPerner Yea, agree. We can speculate all we want, but I think George is their guy. That’s been the worst kept secret for a while.
@MarkPerner I’ll take a healthy version of Dean that plays 17 games
@MarkPerner The combo of age, health history and expected salary are a scary combination. I can live with a short-term deal, but a max contract would be a disastrous move.
@MarkPerner I agree this is big. I don’t hate George, but when you just got stuck in Tobias purgatory, that’s not the first guy I want. I would want Lauri
@MarkPerner My greatest fear is that he will sign Paul George to a max or near-max deal, which would be crushing.
@MarkPerner Nope. He had enough time and did nothing with it.
@PeterVecsey1 In my opinion Peter the xtra game is strictly for more income despite what they say these Knicks/Philly games remind me of the Knicks/pacers/ cavs of the late 80’s very enjoyable for a guy who grew up playing 5/5 1/2 Ct straight up
League sources tell me that following their eventual ouster int the first round, the Lakers, Clipper and Suns will participate in the first ever NBA In Season Round Robin Eliminated Teams Tournament.
Last season, after the Lakers ripped off 5 straight wins (season high), Hambone and Bron blurted out "Let's get greedy" in a team huddle. Russ, sensing the BS in the room, told em to "just keep havin fun bro, and be happy for the next man" Fake Laker fans and bronsexuals…
