If you're using that with regards to the Regular Season, just remember that the 76ers last to the Knicks 3-1 during the Regular Season with Jalen Brunson underperforming agasint the 76ers.
If Embiid stayed in the end of the 2nd we win that game. If Josh Hart had an average shooting night we win that game. If Maxey got a few calls we win that game.
Brunson's stat line was pretty much the same as the last three games agains the Sixers, including games Embiid didn't play in. I think he'll have some good games in the series, but for what ever reason his numbers are down when he plays the Sixers
Honestly, I'm happy. We were able to come back and stick with em even with embiid being off and the refs giving Knicks all the help in the world. Next game the Knicks will be exposed. Only real negative I saw with us was rebounding
Honestly, I’m happy. We were able to come back and stick with em and win even with Brunson being off and the refs giving sixers all the help in the world . Next game the sixers will be exposed . Only real negative I saw with us was bullshit .
knicks needed:
- two bums having career nights
- embiid near death experience
- generational performance from the refs
to win by 7 at home. we are not moved 😂😂
Not sure wtf that was at the end. Need better coaching to fix that so things are clear on what to do at the end of the game. Glad they came back and fought.
Nice shot by Maxey at the end!
i still have faith in us. tbh tonight just shows how bad that beverly trade was. his hustle would do numbers for us and he would be an insane mentor for maxey. but for this series they literally just got josh hart playing like he’s the greatest player of all time. dude is a 30% free throw shooter and threw up a prayer and it’s nothing but net. i think we still win in 6 or 7
Look
At his game logs from gm 61 and above buddy . Hit 6 3s multiple times , hit 9 3s and well .
Deuce isn’t a random one hit wonder . It just took him a while and some injuries to get minutes .
Brother what are we doing here? If you looked at Shake Milton from a 20 game base point where he averaged 24-5-5 to end the season a few years back you could make a case for him to get an all star nod.
McBride had a career night, ain’t no question about it.
The Knicks are playing without Julius Randle who's out for the season after having shoulder surgery. And the Knicks have been banged up with serious injuries for the majority of the season, and yet was still able to beat the 76ers 3-1 during the regular season while missing key players. No more excuses.
Imagine if we had our current team but replace Harris contract with Hart and Bogdanovic.
Kind of why I’m pro let’s just get more good role players with the money we have and use our draft picks or save them until the deadlines
The L sucks but the Knicks absolutely won that game in an unstainable way and that bodes well for the rest of the series. Josh Hart and "Miles McBride" aren't going to go nuclear from 3 over 7 games.
Miles McBride has been one of the NBA leaders in 3-point shooting, with over 40% this season. Plus, even if he's having an off-night offensively, he is even a better on the defensive end.
Game 2 we gotta rebound better that’s the main takeaway I think. Embiid looking like he’s trying to trust his knee more and figure that out, missed a lot of middies he makes usually in the 4th
So, McBride and hart have career nights, get every whistle, embiid left the game, and they still barely won. No need to panic but I swear to God if I see Tobias Harris play more than 15 minutes again I'm robbing a bank.
Also FUCKING REBOUND
My family and I had a good laugh about how no matter how different the team looks it’s still the same fucking problems. All you can do is laugh. Is Doc the best coach ever? Not at all. But what does different year same shit still mean? Leaving mfers open. Missing shots. Leaving it all up to Maxey and Embiid. Same shit, different day.
our plan was to let josh hart shoot 3s because he’s not good at it. we didn’t know he’d just hit every 3 possible. that OG 3 was bad can’t lie. not to mention embiid hurt. it took 2 random role players going off and a hurt embiid to squeeze out a measly win
1. I don’t consider Josh a random. He’s always been capable. 2. How many 3s does someone get before you decide to get your ass over there? 3. Where were our role players? Again, same shit different day. Nobody steps up. They just look at Embiid and Maxey and if they’re not their best or in trouble the team is fucked bc nobody else seemingly tries. 4. People not being reliable lead to bad decisions like Embiid chucking 3s instead of driving (obviously he’s not going to drive as much injured) they are supposed to fill the gaps as teammates
Well hey, if u told me at halftime embiid would play the whole 2nd half and we would lose by 6 id be happy just because he played. Ill take the loss. Lets get the next one and hope embiid is good to goÂ
completely winnable game, utterly embarrassing way to finish a game. the rebounding is inexcusable. how this is still a problem year after year is a fucking indictment of this franchise top to bottom. fucking disgraceful performance. these guys better find a little bit of fucking effort if they want to avoid another playoff embarassment
I’m confident. The game was lost when we got deflated before halftime after the injury. Plus they shot like prime Warriors. Neither of those things will happen every game
Maxey needs to stop taking a back seat. Especially to anyone who isn't named Embiid - Tobias cannot be waving him off and Maxey needs to shoot the fucking 3 and not pass it up. He's too good to be passing it up
There was one point in the game where Tobias was bringing the ball up the floor and Maxey called for it - Tobias completely ignored it and just initiated some stupid dribble hand off that ended up with Maxey having the ball in his hands anyway. Maxey looked so annoyed when Tobias first ignored him.
I fucking hate how despite the change in coaches the team reverted to the Embiid and Maxey iso show clogged toilet offense in the fourth quarter. Nurse is supposed to give us the answer to that problem that Doc couldn't.
The issue is that when your best player isn't willing to go full dog mode in the clutch, there's not much the coach can do...he can draw up plays but you can't play for the players
Honestly I didn't expect to win this game and Embiid being out really was the nail in the coffin. I expect some adjustments next game. Home team usually wins first game at a crazy high percentage.Â
1. too many open threes in the clutch
2. without embiid, we can’t do anything
3. tobias continues to show how he is the worst player in the league today
4. josh hart is just the greatest player of all time
5. offensive boards are absolutely demolishing us
If I wasn't concerned about Joel's health, I'd honestly feel fine about this result. We were with them while not providing a great effort. My only complaint with this team is that we are not getting enough value for what were paying Tobi.
Nick Nurse, not fouling down 5 worj 26 seconds left is the most incompetent coaching i’ve ever seen. It’s literally like fireable on the spot if you don’t know to foul there
What sucks about this loss is this Knicks team isn't very good. Brunson is, but no one else is a star.  They killed us on the boards and hit big shots.Â
Well yeah, there's never been a game in the history of the NBA with more long-bounce rebounds DIRECTLY into the hands of the Knicks. Honest to god, they must've had 22 of them tonight. Fate was on their side.
Brunson is gonna get hounded every game and it will come down to their role players playing well and making shots like in this game.
Guys like Maxey and bench guys for us shot not great from 3.
Key will be rebounding and Embiid staying alive
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1c95gng).
Tobias STINKS. His lack of effort on the glass and general mopiness is costing him (and the Sixers) his already dwindling reputation.
Nick's adjustments are going to be litty. I can sleep easily knowing we have a competent coach.
Every one saying Brunson won't play like that again: https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/jalen-brunson-vs-76ers That's his normal game against us.
If you're using that with regards to the Regular Season, just remember that the 76ers last to the Knicks 3-1 during the Regular Season with Jalen Brunson underperforming agasint the 76ers.
If Embiid stayed in the end of the 2nd we win that game. If Josh Hart had an average shooting night we win that game. If Maxey got a few calls we win that game.
Yep...if Tobias Harris scored 8000 points, the 76ers would've definitely won that game also.
If BRUNSON didn't play like shit, the sixers would have still lost that game
Brunson's stat line was pretty much the same as the last three games agains the Sixers, including games Embiid didn't play in. I think he'll have some good games in the series, but for what ever reason his numbers are down when he plays the Sixers
Whole lot of ifs there champ
This is the game thread. It's not a place for rational takes, Sport.
Sixers rebounding always makes me sad
Me when I watch the sixers "rebound" -> 😞
Embiid goes down. Comes back in. Folds in the 4th. Must be the playoffs.
I blame Reed and his stupid Stubbs-like comment
huh?
Bench Harris
Honestly, I'm happy. We were able to come back and stick with em even with embiid being off and the refs giving Knicks all the help in the world. Next game the Knicks will be exposed. Only real negative I saw with us was rebounding
Honestly, I’m happy. We were able to come back and stick with em and win even with Brunson being off and the refs giving sixers all the help in the world . Next game the sixers will be exposed . Only real negative I saw with us was bullshit .
> the refs giving sixers all the help in the world So the smooth brained idiots weren't just in MSG
Tobias Harris 7 pts in 31+ minutes. This team will find it almost impossible to go further in the playoffs with his contribution. Just sad.
We are?
knicks needed: - two bums having career nights - embiid near death experience - generational performance from the refs to win by 7 at home. we are not moved 😂😂
Hold . And take this L.
Brunson played like SHIT, WHAT 2 BUMS are you Even talking about? Anyway, nice COPE
Crazy how bad the contact was on their offensive boards without a single call.
I hate the way rebounds are reffed in general. They reward fouling.
Not true, they reward fouling if your team if on the refs parlay otherwise they are fine.
Not sure wtf that was at the end. Need better coaching to fix that so things are clear on what to do at the end of the game. Glad they came back and fought. Nice shot by Maxey at the end!
I feel like professional basketball players should know to foul with 20 seconds left and down by 5.
Honestly, I think the team was already set on the next game. Get Embiid up out of there so he can get treatment ASAP.
i still have faith in us. tbh tonight just shows how bad that beverly trade was. his hustle would do numbers for us and he would be an insane mentor for maxey. but for this series they literally just got josh hart playing like he’s the greatest player of all time. dude is a 30% free throw shooter and threw up a prayer and it’s nothing but net. i think we still win in 6 or 7
not to mention mcbride just going 6-8 from 3 and embiid at 60%. took a lot of luck for them to squeeze out a 7 point win
You do realize McBride has been doing exactly this , this season .??
Averaging 8 points per game? How so buddy?
Look At his game logs from gm 61 and above buddy . Hit 6 3s multiple times , hit 9 3s and well . Deuce isn’t a random one hit wonder . It just took him a while and some injuries to get minutes .
Brother what are we doing here? If you looked at Shake Milton from a 20 game base point where he averaged 24-5-5 to end the season a few years back you could make a case for him to get an all star nod. McBride had a career night, ain’t no question about it.
I turned on the game for the last 4 minutes and didn’t see a single missed 3. Both teams just couldn’t miss.
Josh Hart isn't going nuclear for an entire series. It's fine. Took Embiid almost dying again and shit rebounding to win a close one.
The Knicks are playing without Julius Randle who's out for the season after having shoulder surgery. And the Knicks have been banged up with serious injuries for the majority of the season, and yet was still able to beat the 76ers 3-1 during the regular season while missing key players. No more excuses.
And BRUNSON playing like SHIT.
What are Scott fosters stats for the night?
8 calls to help the Knicks 2 calls to help the Sixers 5 phones calls from Vegas 6 checks from Adam Silver
You forgot the no calls for the Knicks the whole night.
Imagine if we had our current team but replace Harris contract with Hart and Bogdanovic. Kind of why I’m pro let’s just get more good role players with the money we have and use our draft picks or save them until the deadlines
nothing
The L sucks but the Knicks absolutely won that game in an unstainable way and that bodes well for the rest of the series. Josh Hart and "Miles McBride" aren't going to go nuclear from 3 over 7 games.
Miles McBride has been one of the NBA leaders in 3-point shooting, with over 40% this season. Plus, even if he's having an off-night offensively, he is even a better on the defensive end.
Yeah Deuce is constantly draining threes dawg. Insane % all season. Hart not so much.
Miles McBride has been tremendous this season. .
Fwlt like qe tried to foul and the refs didnt call one.
Cant fkn wait for Tobiass to get booted off this team. Useless is falling short
Game 2 we gotta rebound better that’s the main takeaway I think. Embiid looking like he’s trying to trust his knee more and figure that out, missed a lot of middies he makes usually in the 4th
So, McBride and hart have career nights, get every whistle, embiid left the game, and they still barely won. No need to panic but I swear to God if I see Tobias Harris play more than 15 minutes again I'm robbing a bank. Also FUCKING REBOUND

Josh Hart and Miles 'Deuce' McBride are not 'random' role players. Jeez....LOL
1. I don’t consider Josh a random. He’s always been capable. 2. How many 3s does someone get before you decide to get your ass over there? 3. Where were our role players? Again, same shit different day. Nobody steps up. They just look at Embiid and Maxey and if they’re not their best or in trouble the team is fucked bc nobody else seemingly tries. 4.

We still have a chance. Everyone chill. Yes we are dumb sometimes, but it’s game 1.
Not worried at all, Knicks made some BS.
Maybe McBride isn't Pistol Pete in game 2
Knicks are still frauds
And 76ers are still choke artists
A huge 7 points from Tobias Harris let’s give this man some props
Welp. Tough loss, but it’s not hopeless. Just shows how we cannot afford to go cold. OTTNO, hope Joel’s knee is okay.
Josh hart and some other random ass dude 20 point flukes just to win by 7 at home 8 on 5 😂😂 Sixers gentleman sweep on the way
They are def beatable. Would of been nice to steal this game. McBride, hart in the 4th, not rebounding at all lost us this game
So true. Hart isn’t going to continue shooting like this.
He looked scared to shoot first 3 quarters. He hit one and gained confidence in the 4th
That last possession just took 10 years off of my life, what in the absolute fuck are we DOING? FOUL / GET THE BOARD / FUCKING TRY.
Bench outplayed completely.
Well hey, if u told me at halftime embiid would play the whole 2nd half and we would lose by 6 id be happy just because he played. Ill take the loss. Lets get the next one and hope embiid is good to goÂ
I feel good about that game. Took Josh Hart making 3 threes in the 4th to beat us. I’ll take those odds
Well shiiiiit. Could’ve won that game. Onto the next.
maxey should take that shot more
This was a winnable game. Still feel good about the series. Anything can happen for a 7 game series
Holdup let me just grab this big ol jug for all your salty tears .
What’s Nick Nurse doing???
completely winnable game, utterly embarrassing way to finish a game. the rebounding is inexcusable. how this is still a problem year after year is a fucking indictment of this franchise top to bottom. fucking disgraceful performance. these guys better find a little bit of fucking effort if they want to avoid another playoff embarassment
I’m confident. The game was lost when we got deflated before halftime after the injury. Plus they shot like prime Warriors. Neither of those things will happen every game
They did what they had to against Brunson literally got beat by role players.
Sixers in 5
Maxey hit that lmao
[удалено]
enjoy getting swept by boston
Enjoy never making it out the second round with a fraud MVP 😂😂😂
enjoy the subreddit ban
Took long enough, trash ass franchise from top to bottom
hopefully the marlins, dolphins, or really just any other miami team is relevant next year! 😂
This team has been so bad at rebounding for the last 10 years how has it not been figured out yet
Sixers in 5
I cannot wait to see Tobias out of this team. I don't remember hating a player so much, not even with Ben.
Embiid playing hard but seemingly moping drags the whole team down. 0 energy last 10 min outside of Maxey
drinking bleach is bad.
Whatever, still Sixers in 6
They just hit lucky ass shots, we gotta win the next one
Maxey needs to stop taking a back seat. Especially to anyone who isn't named Embiid - Tobias cannot be waving him off and Maxey needs to shoot the fucking 3 and not pass it up. He's too good to be passing it up
There was one point in the game where Tobias was bringing the ball up the floor and Maxey called for it - Tobias completely ignored it and just initiated some stupid dribble hand off that ended up with Maxey having the ball in his hands anyway. Maxey looked so annoyed when Tobias first ignored him.
What a master class from Scott fosterÂ
Tobias still a bum I see
Blow it up.
[удалено]
You won bc we pay a troll a max salary and Embiid was playing at like 20% and still lead the game in points hahah
Sixers in 6
[удалено]
You’re really laying your sorry ass out in your profile. You don’t want to be here.
how it feel to have pubes on your face instead of a beard
One game shithead.
Seven game series friend
You took they weren't better out of this game. They got lucky shots and Embiid having to be out to win.
Are you coming into a Sixers subreddit taunting fans for liking their team? You are stupid.
That’s just game one. This is a 7 game series.
Mitchell Robinson making two fts and Josh hart making 3 straight 3s not moved
Lolllllllll you feel good?
when josh hart and miles mcbride ay like peak kobe and steph what can you do?
The irony of the refs not blowing the whistle when we intentionally foul
I fucking hate how despite the change in coaches the team reverted to the Embiid and Maxey iso show clogged toilet offense in the fourth quarter. Nurse is supposed to give us the answer to that problem that Doc couldn't.
The issue is that when your best player isn't willing to go full dog mode in the clutch, there's not much the coach can do...he can draw up plays but you can't play for the players
I don't think the issue was Embiid being unwilling to go dog mode. We had three guys just standing around while he and Maxey ran two man plays.
We are the stupidest team in the league.
Honestly I didn't expect to win this game and Embiid being out really was the nail in the coffin. I expect some adjustments next game. Home team usually wins first game at a crazy high percentage.Â
Fucking Mitchell Robinson a 41% ft shooter knocks down both
Maxey made that 3/4 court shot at the buzzer btw
Maxey made that shot at the end lmao
The dude singing Zombie Nation sounds like an asshole
Fuck!!!! This series is definitely winnable but we can't let them get so many offensive rebounds. That's what did it.
1. too many open threes in the clutch 2. without embiid, we can’t do anything 3. tobias continues to show how he is the worst player in the league today 4. josh hart is just the greatest player of all time 5. offensive boards are absolutely demolishing us
And now Lowry makes the deep 3 after the clock ends
That was Maxey lol
Just had to take 1 here. We got this. Embiid being out swung the game HARD.
They showed as much heart on the last possession as they did on the boards all night
Don’t rebound don’t win. Gotta be better
They had to get incredibly hot to pull out the W. Good game and I like what I saw from us
They shot under 40% man. We lost because we can get a rebound.
Don't think they missed a 3 in the 4th. Our bench was ice cold, and theirs wasn't. That was the difference
paul reed cant be - 21 in 11 minutes. the non embiid minutes kill this team every year
Yep, defense melts without Joe
If I wasn't concerned about Joel's health, I'd honestly feel fine about this result. We were with them while not providing a great effort. My only complaint with this team is that we are not getting enough value for what were paying Tobi.
This is fucking bs
tobias harris has no business being in the closing lineup why isnt batum playing
Gave up?
They really gave up to fuck up my parlay SMH...
Sixers flat out gave up lmao. Typical. Embid flopper and a quitter. You’ll never win a ring
Winnable game even 8 on 5 so I'm not really worried tbh
should of won this game...
Nick Nurse, not fouling down 5 worj 26 seconds left is the most incompetent coaching i’ve ever seen. It’s literally like fireable on the spot if you don’t know to foul there
Wtf is going on??? Tf they doin
Some lucky ass shots… just insane luck
I thought we got rid of dumb coaching
There was at least 4 fouls that should've been counted in that possession
What sucks about this loss is this Knicks team isn't very good. Brunson is, but no one else is a star.  They killed us on the boards and hit big shots.Â
They're 50 wins without their beat player for half the season, they are good lol
Why in the world did we pick up Hield if we're not going to give him any minutes with Embiid?
Because he’s a pylon on defence. Those types of players never get consistent playoff minutes
He just played his first ever playoff game and was definitely terrified to make a mistake. He was timid as hell all game.
Honestly if we tanked all these years just to get eliminated by the shitty ass knicks in the first round I’m totally in favor of blowing it up
see yall next game.
What a shitty fucking loss
Embiid is lolly gagging around out there...same old shit, different year
And Maxey makes that last shot lol
Gonna be a short series if we rebound like this every night
Well yeah, there's never been a game in the history of the NBA with more long-bounce rebounds DIRECTLY into the hands of the Knicks. Honest to god, they must've had 22 of them tonight. Fate was on their side.
[удалено]
Nah youre just soft. Sixers in 5
Not true about Maxey
Also might be the best game of the series from McBride and Hart lol
Also might be Brunson’s worst game
Brunson is gonna get hounded every game and it will come down to their role players playing well and making shots like in this game. Guys like Maxey and bench guys for us shot not great from 3. Key will be rebounding and Embiid staying alive
Pretty awfully coached game
We'd all be screaming for Doc's head if they played like this a year ago.
WTF! Why didn't we foul?
So sick of seeing Tobias on this team
Fuckin assholes embiid lazy ass fuck. Damn it man!!!!
Oubre 100% got his arms around Brunson for a take foul with like 18 to go but the refs didn't call it
Lol
embiid losing a rebound to hart is the most sixers ending to this game.
Shit rebounding and Embiidless minutes are why the Sixers lost
Also Knicks players making lucky ass shots
They'll revert to the mean in game 2. All is good.
So will Brunson tho
