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

I know this asking too much, but can a Knicks fan (or even an Embiid hater) tell us why they think embiid is dirty? I know there are over 20 pages of the same arguments and points mentioned already, but to read them again but in a slightly different way would be fantastic. Thanks in advance.

Not an Embiid hater, but a knicks fan. I dunno about dirty, I suppose that depends on your definition of dirty, but the Robinson flagrant, the nut shots, the excessive (moving?) screen on OG, etc. were pretty petulant. Incredible talent who came up huge in the second half...but it looked like he got frustrated in that first half before lashing out in a scumbag way.

Thank you for saying what’s already been said but in a slightly different way. If people weren’t convinced after the last 300 posts on why he is dirty, they will be now. Again, thank you.

Not sure I understand what you were looking for if not the dirty things Embiid has done that make people think Embiid is dirty?

If you don't want people to complain about him, then maybe he shouldn't do the sh*t he does. Fraud MVP, Dirty scumbag player that should be suspended. Stop crying about people talking about the Embiid dirty plays, go back to the 76ers board bubble if you don't wanna hear the correct opinions from all the other teams fans not just Knicks fans or "Embiid Haters" from all around the league. .

They don't want Knicks fans to talk about what a dirty player he is anymore. Which would be fine because fans from all around the league are talking about what a dirty player he is.

It’s funny how Knicks fans told us to stop whining after game 2, but then they flood this thread with their tears a hundred times over. It makes sense to be so emotionally driven after a decade of irrelevance, but it’s just rehashing the same old, same old.

Haha I have enjoyed my banter with you. Keeping it light. You will support our team in the second round, yes?

Oh totally. Nobody's going to stop Joel out on the links while we're marching onto the ECF

[LordCovington33]

A good mate is a Knicks fan, and damn I got an earful when we met up for drinks post-game, which was fair because he got plenty after game 2. But at the end of the day, we will support the other team for the rest of the playoffs due to our mutual dislike for the Heat and Boston.

Crazy how in that decade of irrelevance, the Sixers have only managed to make as far as the Knicks have…2nd round exit. Embiid truly is a fraud of a superstar

Your tears were definitely tastier and more plentiful. The difference is that the refs gave us 1 or 2 calls at the end in g2, and let your boneheaded players and coach take it from there. The difference is that your star and coach threw some epic tantrums. The difference is also that your star is so uncertain of himself that he has to P.R. himself and injure other players to secure a win. The refs gave you 48 minutes of revenge, and the Knicks coach says "that's playoff basketball."

I know that Trusting a Process for a decade, only to be left with a dirty, butter-soft cry-baby, has to be frustrating. There's a psychological phenomenon - "justification of effort." You should try to overcome that phenomenon and be objective.

BTW, irrelevance was worth it for a team worth rooting for. I'd be really disappointed to be in your shoes.

Here’s a short and sweet video. All from a single game. If a player did this against your team, and then when confronted by players about it just said “what are you gonna do about it?”. What would you think about them?

The same fans that 2 days ago were all about "Why do you keep crying about calls, its what it's" now have spent the entire day crying for the league to reverse a call and get a guy suspended.

Had no idea we were talking about a call. Geez, I thought we were talking about a dirty player injuring another player.

There's the disconnect. They are mad because the Knicks played an aggressive, ballhawking brand of basketball and the refs swallowed the whistle. They then want us (Knicks fans) to appreciate they can match our basketball intensity with non-basketball plays. You know Knicks fans, stop being bitter and recognize greatness is daring the refs to eject you as you Superfly Snuuka everyone in the ring (I mean on the court. It's a process. It's THE Process.

Don't most people post in their downtime at work? You can usually tell if I'm at work or not based on whether I write an essay or just a 1-2 liner
