I change my mind. If we're going to win with our defense, I prefer to play the Magic, who are offensively-challenged. If we're going to win with our offense, I prefer to play the Cavs. I think our bigs will have a harder time against them to due to Mitchell/Garland's speed/burst plus their lob threats but they don't have the horses to guard our best players.

I don't like to root for the Sixers and Bucks, but we all got to make sacrifices for the good of the team. Tie this series up. Go Sixers! Let's go, Bucks!

Will be impressed if Sixers extend this and they even get two wins in their series. I look at their roster and think, "wtf is this garbage?" Not to mention Embiid has a dozen things going on in his body and is just toughing it out.

Tobias Harris might be the richest disappointment in NBA history.

It's so weird. I want to see the demise of the Sixers and Bucks so I want them to lose tonight. I also want both of those series to go to 7...

It's entertaining and confusing at the same time.

Both close games so far.

Sixers more dangerous than NY, especially if Embiid is healthy.

But can Embiid really get healthy?

That's the question.

Embiid's play just killing the 6ers right now

Sixers look exhausted while Knicks look like they can go for another 3 hours. That last turnover was fatigue. No one even went to the ball, forcing Embiid to throw a terrible crosscourt pass that had no chance (got tipped anyway).

EDIT: So were Maxey's two missed FTs. Sixers are cooked, barring a miracle.

Embiid is a shell of himself. Maxey missing 3 straight free throws. Brunson is on a tear. Sixers going fishing!

I find it odd rooting for the Knicks, but this is not an unlikeable team (except Randle). Also, easier to support any team playing vs 6ers

I swear maxey travelled on the 3 after pulling up

Wow, OT

I would like to play the magic. Cavs still have mitchell and garland with those good bigs. Magic have no experience.

The game went to OT.

zoyathedestroya · Post #1036 » by **zoyathedestroya** » Wed May 1, 2024 1:34 am

Embiid to Maxey: "WTF! It was already over. I was already headed to the airport. Why delay the inevitable?"

Holy **** maxey!!!!!

Amazing finish by Maxey after nearly blowing game with 3 missed FTs

Maxey out here balling! OT? This series about to change!!!!

On believable.. Maxi looks like the best player in the NB.A right now.. A four point play followed by a 45 foot three point of to tie up the game..
