maybe -maybe not...that whistle is powerful...rhythm and momentum with a whistle...you can control a game...
I would really like to analize a game from start to finish...


Come on bro... :lol: Not this game... not this series... This series should have been over in 5.

Thibs choked. The players choked. The refs/nba had nothing to do with it. You don't "fix" a game by giving one team literally a dozen ways to seal the victory. It makes no sense at all. 95% chance of a Knicks victory with 30 seconds left. That's not fixing... that's ***** up by Thibs and co.

all im saying is - there is a ton of evidence that says the league is fixed but lets just put that aside.

Yes they choked but we have to put it in context. we still have two games left. so the choking was from an elite standpoint.
Minny, Denver, Okc, etc would have closed last nights game out. We are still in the drivers seat.
With that said- the knicks can show us that they are ready to be elite by playing there best defensive and offensively executed game of the series tomorrow :D

That's on Donte. I love the heroic plays, but he needs to help generate offense.

which bring me to my point -F the team for not executing their "elite" capabilities BUT I believe they will in the next game...

Refs ain't tell Mitchell to foul Maxey when he was shooting the 3 either. Tough break, either way.

Could his name be Randle? :lol:


I mean, at this point it's not even Bogs.

I really wish we could properly see what we have.

As great as Maxey has been, how easily would we beat them if they didnt have Embiid. Having only one star is tough in the playoffs.

calls like that I dont whine about but that was so light...Mitch for the most part avoided him-his mistake was putting himself in that position when we still would have been ahead by 3 with the ball even if he makes it....

It's not about crowing him, we are no more capable of shutting him down than they are of doing it to Brunson. He is an elite scorer that can hit Lillard range threes and has DeAron Fox speed. For all intents and purposes he is unguardable to us and has proven that in the 5 games. The problem the Sixers present for us is that if Embiid doesn't have it on that night they can fall back on just going to Maxey, if Embiid does have it going then we're not winning if they're both playing well. We have made the decision to try and contain Embiid with doubles, and that means Maxey is going to cook.

off the top of my head we held him to 25 points in one game...and hes not on Brunsons level- Brunson is 4th in the league...Maxey is 11th...Brunson doesnt have Embiid while Maxey does...We can stop both of them - you remember what happened when embiid clocked Brunson and he got pissed off...our issue is locking in all the time- thats the difference between being elite and good...
If I'm wrong the knicks will lose game six with the sixers scoring over 100pts...



Come on bro, you can't keep saying he's not on the same level as Brunson based on the regular season scoring, they're both averaging over 30ppg in this series. And look at what you're saying, holding him to 25 pts? That is how well he's playing that being contained still means you're a above 20pts. He's not the leader Brunson and he isn't the player he is yet, but in the playoffs right now against us he is on the same level as a scorer. We can argue about who has what and how easy that translates later on, right now he's matching our best players production.

How tf is Game 1 a miracle game


Look tf at Hart’s previous 3pt shooting. He bailed us out = (mini) miracle.

I forgot about this...go to the 3:00 minute mark...remember when Josh Hart over threw the ball to OG?
that would have wrapped the game up right there...
