Embiid has what? A couple more years left in this league? He’s going to sacrifice what little is left of his body for a chance at the conference finals.

If he never scratches the conf finals he knows he’s nothing


This is a dumb take even by knicks standards.

I hope you booed all those knick greats they were celebrating who never won anything of note either.


There’s a big difference between trying your hardest, getting far, and coming up short vs failing year after year because of YOUR poor play and crappy attitude.

Everything embiid has gotten in his career was given and not earned. I’m sure he knows his career is a big let down in his heart. You do too.

Made no sense comparing him to Knick great who didn’t win chips. That’s not what I’m talking about.

i think you guys played well. incredible defense down the stretch, especially og (on both ends). if you had randle, this series would be over already

You guys seem to portrait NYC as like is a Russian mob city , which is really not , not even close

Doesn’t even aspire to be close to Paterson NJ crime wise

South Bx, anywhereiin the bx really... far rock, jamaica queens, anywhere in queens really, flat bush, crown heights, east NY, uptown, Harlem....

police don't even stop on Mott Ave... there's a reason they call it cop killer queens

far rock was literally called the jungle

look up pink house projects


Been in all those places , all safe by my standards to be honest , Dude Bronx changed a lot , it used to be dangerous , I don’t think is anymore unless you deal drugs then anywhere could be dangerous

Off all places you named I don’t even consider them dangerous, I have gun pulled out on me once and that was actually Brighton Beach Brooklyn

Like somebody said mind your own business and isn’t worse than any other American big city

Knicks shouldn't have won game 2 and the Sixers shouldn't have won game 5 so call it even... now onto Game 6...

Don’t feed the troll. Posting **** like that is disingenuous, and a means to bait a reaction.

If Brunson played next to Embiid, his shooting splits would be much higher due to defenses not being able to scheme completely on him.

We all saw how Maxey carried the sixers when Embiid went down. They slid all the way down the rankings. He wouldn’t have led this Knicks team the way Brunson did.

That being said Maxey is a great talent and did his thing tonight. But if Embiid wasn’t the first option, he wouldn’t be putting up these type of numbers.


Maxey has a 50 point game without Embiid.

Some places aren't as bad as they used to be some parts are worse. The heights used to be horrible but they cleaned it up now it's just a bunch of Dominicans everywhere

Brighton beach is one of the safest parts of Brooklyn but u could get a gun pulled on u in times square. NYC is still a concrete jungle especially since these young kids don't give af about doing a bid

my cousins friend was just killed 8 months ago on seagirt blvd. he wasn't even a bad kid just wrong place

there's ms13 running around everywhere on parts on LI (bay shore, brentwood, wyndanch, freeport, ci) there's hoods everywhere in NY it's not just the boroughs

Maxey’s numbers were much better with Embiid than without. That cannot be argued.

The double-standard on the GB is crazy.

EVERY FLIPPING PAGE has some Embiid hater ripping the crap out of the guy. He sucks, He's a loser. Comes up small.

But compare Maxey and Brunson?

"Hey - Maxey gets to play with a guy like Embiid!"

Do you Knicks fans understand how pathetic that is?

Get with the RealGM program. EMBIID SUCKS. So how much help can he be to Maxey?

Such a disappointing finish by the Knicks. Robinson with a foul on three plus one, I couldn't believe my eyes on that one, such stupidity. Missed free throws by the Knicks, for example Hart, in the end when they had a chance to put the game away, such a shame. And of course Maxey made some crazy shots, of course. Oh well, on to the next one.

For all the positive attention Maxey will get, and all the negative attention Embiid will get ...

Let's praise Tobias Harris in this one. The man of 39 million just more than doubled his points average in this one, by scoring a mediocre 19 points :oops:

Everyone spoke a out how this was going to be a tough series and now that it is a tough series, everyone is surprised.

Going 6 or 7 shouldn't surprise anyone. I think most thought it was over in 5 because of the whining

You can also just tell that Maxey is a winner. Good for Sixers fans.

Knicks need to close it out in 6. They need that extra rest, they looked way too tired in Game 5.

Absolute choke job. Disgusted the Knicks have the 76ers unneeded life. Treated this like a game and not war.

I expect public apologies and for Mitch and others to clean the city streets.

Disgusted.
