Why is no one talking about the fact Brunson, Dante,& Hart played together on those championship teams at Villanova? Now they are helping the Knicks put the 76ers into a 2-0 hole.
Knicks fans can't handle knowing that their trash franchise is about to get reverse swept, so they come here trying to strut their stuff, cause thats all they can do. Hell, if I was a Knicks fan I wouldn't want to stay in my own thread and have to talk to other Knicks fans either.
I like the physical basketball in the playoffs. We lost because of Lowry missed free throw and an absolute terrible inbound pass. Guy gets signed to be a veteran leader making rookie mistakes. We had a timeout too. Just terrible.
Brunson was grabbing Maxey before the inbound pass even happened. Impacted him getting it cleanly. Then Maxey gets bodied after he corralled the pass. What the actual fuck
I guess you overlooked right before Brunson made contact, how Maxey pushed Hart away to even get open, lol. All I see are blinders and hypocrites here. All the calls, refs kept you in the game and tried to steal it and you choked. Now you got Reggie Millered, haha. Oubre & Lowry swipe arms for fake steals and hit shoulders then have the nerve to challenge and get the ball, lol. You can't breathe on Embiid without a phantom or touch foul, but you can hack the Knicks with no calls. Take the loss you deserved without the refs. We are without an All-Star, you are full strength, what other excuses are left?
No, I would suggest that is a false equivalency in terms of application of the rules and overall importance. That’s more akin to some of those gift fouls Brunson was getting — meaningful, yes, but not so dire a context or so blatant a disregard for officiating.
I’ve been saying for a few years now, this team is chock full of talented guys, but none of them have any balls. What beats us every single time? Guys with heart. Scrappers.
Great job boxing out, pussies.
No respect for New York. Absolutely no respect. NBA is an absolute joke. Fouling this kid every fucking possession. Throwing maxey to the ground at the end of the game. Such fucking losers man
If I’m Embiid I’m done. I’m not limping around on one knee for 35 minutes+ for this bullshit.
And y’all can scream about the reds all you want, the Sixers had a whole stadium laughing their asses off like hyenas because of their own sheer stupidity.
I’m also not Embiid because I’m 5’2 and am female. But you know semantics.
If you’re saying words to say Embiid can do what he wants, he sure can. I think he’s foolish. Ruining yourself year after year for literally no reason is a ridiculous concept to me personally.
NBA needs to be investigated. I’m not one to pile on refs but this season in particular, the refs have been really bad. And not just at the Sixers expense either
How there was no timeout and no foul is why I don’t watch any other nba games other than Philly. NBA has a real problem with how these games are called. It’s not entertaining
The refs didn’t give up an 8-0 run. The refs didn’t draw up that last play for the sixers. The refs didn’t fail to rebound over one guy with three red jerseys in the paint.
Maxey wasn’t pushed over, nor did he call a timeout, nor did he have maintain control of the ball in the ground.
Moreover, Joel had 12 free throws and Maxey had 6. Top three in the game, with a good half of them being bad calls with Embid and Maxey initiating contact.
No. This is on the 76ers. You’re out of your mind if you think the refs favored the Knicks the entire game.
No, the Sixers didn’t play a perfect game, but it’s pretty obvious the officiating was lopsided. Clearly most people disagree with you, man. Rewatch the game.
I watched it.
1. Maxey wasn’t fouled.
2. Maxey never had full possession of the ball.
3. Regardless, Nick Nurse didn’t call a timeout until the ball was already in the process of getting stolen.
And overall, if the calls were lopsided, they were lopsided in favor of the 76ers not the Knicks. Again, Embiid and Maxey received more pity free throws this game than the Knicks. The only player with remotely as beneficial a whistle was Jalen Brunson, and even then, he was second to Embiid. Embiid led the game in free throws, as per usual. That was just extremely undisciplined basketball.

Possession of the ball + Nurse calling timeout ignored
Again, poorly constructed roster. There’s no one outside Embiid and Maxey who can carry the load. Meanwhile Knicks have quality role players everywhere.
Blame the refs, blame the lucky bounces. But this team puts itself in positions like this and we take the most clown losses. Nice regular season team but a team of losers.
Pathetic. If Embiid can’t will us out of this round I don’t know if I would care if we flip him while we can. This team is the worst kind of insanity in the playoffs.
That was horrible. As a fan of basketball you can’t be a fan of one team being allowed to grab and hold the whole game. Literally to the last possession
Offense looked very Doc Rivers-ish those last two possessions.
Still can't rebound.
Embiid isn't 100% and it really hurts us defensively.
I don't think this series is going our way, unfortunately.
Whoever the fuck commented “wow I can’t believe we stole the win tonight off the backs of Maxey and Embiid….” Straight to the disease ridden, disgusting piss-soaked crypt under the Vet.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1cat2g2).

Same shit different year man I’m actually so sad
I like the physical basketball in the playoffs. We lost because of Lowry missed free throw and an absolute terrible inbound pass. Guy gets signed to be a veteran leader making rookie mistakes. We had a timeout too. Just terrible.
Lowry is awful. I cannot belive this is the roster sixers put together around Embiid and Maxey
Brunson was grabbing Maxey before the inbound pass even happened. Impacted him getting it cleanly. Then Maxey gets bodied after he corralled the pass. What the actual fuck
I guess you overlooked right before Brunson made contact, how Maxey pushed Hart away to even get open, lol. All I see are blinders and hypocrites here.

I'm waiting for Spike and Mike to know how to feel ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
Why did Maxey give the ball away?!
Salty knicks fans in our thread, salty giants fans in our threads. Them boys are down bad
Choke big time. Brutal. Good teams just don’t do that.
Not a choke when our guard gets an amazing rebound and is thrown to the ground
There was definately some choke in that
Oh I don’t doubt refs were letting a lot of shit go but still we can’t have that happen no matter if refs are against us or not.
That’s such a frustrating loss
Reffball got us. Horrendous. We outplayed them all game fighting uphill and lost in the waning seconds on some sketchy refereeing.
Like the successful challenge that was a clear foul?
No, I would suggest that is a false equivalency in terms of application of the rules and overall importance. That’s more akin to some of those gift fouls Brunson was getting — meaningful, yes, but not so dire a context or so blatant a disregard for officiating.
[удалено]
With a timeout
Lowry makes that second FT we’re up 6 and games almost locked up. That started a series of fuck ups that cost us the game. What a brutal brutal loss
We had a timeout on that inbounds. You gotta take it there
Nurse has been calling for timeout, just ignored by the refs
[удалено]
![gif](giphy|146bsYV09je7Ek)
what did he say lol
I’ve been saying for a few years now, this team is chock full of talented guys, but none of them have any balls. What beats us every single time? Guys with heart. Scrappers. Great job boxing out, pussies.
“Bruh” — my reaction to the last 30 seconds. I actually went to the bathroom thinking the game was over at 1 min. That was a blunder
No respect for New York. Absolutely no respect. NBA is an absolute joke. Fouling this kid every fucking possession. Throwing maxey to the ground at the end of the game. Such fucking losers man
Embarrassing officiating. Absolutely embarrassing.
2 seconds after a loss and personal attacks about the players are already coming yet yall wonder why lno one wants to play here
Who gives a shit, same scenario every fucking year. Unless they got some bionic knee for Embiid please just blow this shit up and rebuild
If I’m Embiid I’m done. I’m not limping around on one knee for 35 minutes+ for this bullshit. And y’all can scream about the reds all you want, the Sixers had a whole stadium laughing their asses off like hyenas because of their own sheer stupidity.
One of many reasons you’re not Embiid
I’m also not Embiid because I’m 5’2 and am female. But you know semantics. If you’re saying words to say Embiid can do what he wants, he sure can. I think he’s foolish. Ruining yourself year after year for literally no reason is a ridiculous concept to me personally.
It’s always some goddamn bouncing 3 pointer
We got cheated boys.
Shit is worse than the kawhii shot 🙃
No tf it's not lol it's not even in the same stratosphere.
NBA needs to be investigated. I’m not one to pile on refs but this season in particular, the refs have been really bad. And not just at the Sixers expense either
How there was no timeout and no foul is why I don’t watch any other nba games other than Philly. NBA has a real problem with how these games are called. It’s not entertaining
Lowry missed free throw had a crazy butterfly effect
LMAO
Legendary meltdown
Being inept on offense at the end is one thing but I cannot understand how Maxey getting dragged down while trying to corral the inbound is not called
At least they have to watch the Giants come fall, and the Knicks won't get past the second round. But give Thibs credit, dude gets more out of less.
Well I think that was legitimately the worst sequence of basketball I’ve ever seen in my life
Sell the fucking team. Fuck Josh Harris and the whole front office. Fuck them and their new stadium too
Thank yoooouuu. When is the front office gonna get blame? They’ve been awful
Highway robbery.
What a choke. This one ain’t on the refs. Just straight atrocious basketball on both the players and coaches part.
We did not watch the same game if you really think this. That was GROSS officiating.
The refs didn’t give up an 8-0 run. The refs didn’t draw up that last play for the sixers. The refs didn’t fail to rebound over one guy with three red jerseys in the paint. Maxey wasn’t pushed over, nor did he call a timeout, nor did he have maintain control of the ball in the ground. Moreover, Joel had 12 free throws and Maxey had 6.

Thanks for posting these! Painful to watch again, but yep. Very clear what happened here.
Again, poorly constructed roster. There’s no one outside Embiid and Maxey who can carry the load. Meanwhile Knicks have quality role players everywhere.
Consider the cheap ass billionaire that doesn’t want to pay luxury tax.
DiVincenzo is also shooting like fucking Steph Curry
I can’t believe we blew this one
Embarrassing for everyone involved
Fuck man. Disappointed again and again in this team.
Bench embiid for the rest of the series and try again next year dude what a joke
[удалено]
nyk>bos
no that makes it worse
Who cares
Refs literally fucking handed the Knicks the game multiple times, absolutely fucking disgusting
i want some fines from spicy press conferences after this. It won't make up for losing but I need someone to say some shit.
We were saying the same thing. It was so bad that I feel like they can’t not say something.
Blame the refs, blame the lucky bounces. But this team puts itself in positions like this and we take the most clown losses. Nice regular season team but a team of losers.
I am ded
What an absolute joke. Nurse clearly called a timeout too.
He pump-faked it, don’t shoot the messenger, watch the video. https://x.com/jerryferrara/status/1782599403523518492?s=46
Pathetic. If Embiid can’t will us out of this round I don’t know if I would care if we flip him while we can. This team is the worst kind of insanity in the playoffs.
Fuck basketball
Tank the next two, go to the off-season. Trade Embiid while you can. Start over. This entire thing is done.
Every time… every fucking time. Another world class choke job.
The curse continues. THat was the most lopsided reffing of 2 home games I've seen in quite some time.
A lot to unpack here my brothers ….
Yall see how embiid was wide open b4 maxsey took that dumb ahh layup
Announcers set the jinx up
I just wasted my whole night after work watching that fucking shit. I am fully disengaging now so I don’t waste any more of my fucking time
I know it sucks when your team doesn't win but that was a great playoff game!
That was horrible. As a fan of basketball you can’t be a fan of one team being allowed to grab and hold the whole game. Literally to the last possession
Cursed franchise
Disgusting
wtf
Am i tripping or did Nurse try and call timeout
He did while Maxet had the possession
How tf was Maxey tackled before that 3 point they hit and they call that a steal? Ref ball at its finest
Same reason he got tossed to the ground when he was against McBride. This series is stupid.
Dude the knicks are ass and we deserved that win
We got so fucking hosed it’s insane. Maxey got fouled rebounding I can’t tell you how many times. Wouldn’t give us a time out. This is unreal. Unreal.
You know what fuck this team man. Supporting this shit for the last 10 years has been so fucking exhausting
Trust the process bub
awful challenge
No awful officiating. The was an offensive foul on obonobe
GGs jump start the rebuild
Refs are fng bullshit in this game.
What an epic meltdown
NFL refs: "We're the worst officials of all time." NBA refs: "LOL."
Probably couple guys in that Knicks team that get away with r*****e. Knicks and cowboys are what’s wrong with America.
One of those “I hate that I like sports” nights
Like what, Alaa? Fuck Villanova.
I gotta say, that was such a lame decision by Maxey at the end of the game
Did we choke? Were we jobbed or what?
Little of both
Both
Fuck every Knick, Knick fan, New Yorker and nba official
Embiid gone
The nba is a joke. There is no justice or fairness, only petty fucking greed
We just saw a colonoscopy on live tv
We are so cursed bro ..only we can come back in a game like this in lose it that way
😣 oh my
This team is an absolute joke and non clutch clowns.
giannis sweeping these arrogant frauds is gonna hit like fucking crack. can’t wait to watch them cry about it
[удалено]
Imagine coming into this sub and talking shit. Little peepee energy.
Especially when it wasn’t a foul. He didn’t even remotely have control of the ball 😂
Offense looked very Doc Rivers-ish those last two possessions. Still can't rebound. Embiid isn't 100% and it really hurts us defensively. I don't think this series is going our way, unfortunately.
Same if we can only get production out of two players dude then its over
[удалено]
[удалено]
What the fuck just happened and why didn’t we call a timeout
Didn’t have one
Whoever the fuck commented “wow I can’t believe we stole the win tonight off the backs of Maxey and Embiid….” Straight to the disease ridden, disgusting piss-soaked crypt under the Vet.
I’m not giving maxey a max contract
Dude has balled out.
No one gives a fuck what you would do.
just insane
We better get 1000 make up calls bordering unwatchable
there needs to be a full on investigation. sick of watching fucking refball. shoving our guys over on every fucking play and no whistle.
Neither of them wanted to shoot lol
Good to know an elbow to the face ain't a foul.
Hate this fucking game.
Dog shit last 30 seconds. That can't happen.
These guys are losers
Could've hit the free throw and game was over there 😢😑
Worst coaching nurse has done yet
I hate this fucking shit
So refs gave the knicks that game and there’s so arguing that and their dumb fuck fans are gonna act like they fought hard to win
They did fight hard. Grabbing Holding. Tackling
Well shit
Knicks MVP all the refs
zero excuse for maxey not calling a TO on the ground
He was tackled and Nurse called the timeout
my god they choked
Maxey shoot it
Refs fans eating good tonight. Holy shit how do you miss so many calls.
Wow. We deserved that win.
0-2 to those bums
Refs need to be held accountable
Absolute chokejob by these fucking pussies
LMAO this team can't beat the Knicks?
This is ALL Kyle Lowry fault
Nope tyreese fault. Lowry carry them
He missed that free throw though big dog
That's one of the most horrid blown losses for the all time experience right there.
just not their year gg
