Could it be the game that would turn this series around?

Maxey deserves a bonus on his next max contract for that game alone

I don’t even know of ever to start. Can I create all of game threads from now?

Greatest win in the Process era.

Tyrese Maxey is a stone-cold killer. Superstar. #1 Option. Give him the keys.

Well, at least Bum and Ferry will be quiet for a few nights.

Then we lose game 7 in the most painful way possible. A 20pt leads dwindles down to 1 point. But we're still up 1 with the ball, 2 seconds left, no timeouts. We have trouble getting the ball in, Embiid and Maxey both sprint to an open spot on the floor. They collide. Knicks get the ball due to the collision, they hit the buzzer beater for the win. The collision causes injury to both Embiid and Maxey and they're both out all next season.

Maybe it wasn't easy, but that's game 5. We'll win game 6 and then blow a 20pt lead in game 7. It's the Sixer way.

But that game was worth it. Wow!

At the end of the game MSG was more silent than a moment of silence before a game starts for someone who died.

Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in...

This is the way he needs to play next season plus assists and steals he's talented enough to do that. I love Embiid but he can't stay healthy enough to be a number 1 option he also is a mediocre leader. Give the reigns to Maxey he may not be as talented as Embiid but he has the intangibles and he continues to improve to be that guy. Just put the right pieces around him like they unfortunately couldnt do with Embiid.

Fat face Morey

I generally like Morey, but I remembered he laughed at the RTRS guys when they were complaining how the backup big and how it's been a problem for years. Not sure how you can watch this game and not think that it could make a big difference especially to preserve Embiid when needed.

We outrebounded them by 6 rebounds, how is this possible? Looks like a recipe for future games.

ProcessDoctor · Post #399 » by **ProcessDoctor** » Wed May 1, 2024 2:01 am

We need some coaching magic in game 6. Can't just play Embiid 48 minutes and cross your fingers.

Honestly, Dwight Howard would be 10x better in this type of series than Reed.
