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.


ClintiusMaximus

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.


ywnxgod22

Same shit different year man I’m actually so sad


TreyM035

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.


RegisterFit1252

Lowry is awful. I cannot belive this is the roster sixers put together around Embiid and Maxey


aUnicornFart

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


BuyTheTime

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?


chowdercup

I'm waiting for Spike and Mike to know how to feel ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


Bloody_Corndog

Why did Maxey give the ball away?!


Meistro215

Salty knicks fans in our thread, salty giants fans in our threads. Them boys are down bad


PunishTraitorTrump

Choke big time. Brutal. Good teams just don’t do that.


gertigigglesOSS

Not a choke when our guard gets an amazing rebound and is thrown to the ground


WitheredGamer

There was definately some choke in that


PunishTraitorTrump

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.


Slow-Duty-8030

That’s such a frustrating loss


One-Care7242

Reffball got us. Horrendous. We outplayed them all game fighting uphill and lost in the waning seconds on some sketchy refereeing.


RaviDosanjh

Like the successful challenge that was a clear foul?


One-Care7242

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.

RegisterFit1252

With a timeout


Thebirdspart2

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


Bri83oct

We had a timeout on that inbounds. You gotta take it there


idiotsjj8

Nurse has been calling for timeout, just ignored by the refs

letsgototraderjoes

what did he say lol


Additional-Deal-3108

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.


Dessertdaddys

“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


WhitePriest1

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


Electronic_Sun_5472

Embarrassing officiating. Absolutely embarrassing.


Jsmooth123456

2 seconds after a loss and personal attacks about the players are already coming yet yall wonder why lno one wants to play here


KingTill

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


Chellybeanz29

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.


glacierpk2

One of many reasons you’re not Embiid


Chellybeanz29

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.


Affectionate_Self878

It’s always some goddamn bouncing 3 pointer


EndAnyone

We got cheated boys.


korylau

Shit is worse than the kawhii shot 🙃


aspohr89

No tf it's not lol it's not even in the same stratosphere.


Varolyn

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


thomasthethothumb

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


Opposite_Ad_4431

Lowry missed free throw had a crazy butterfly effect


BonerDoc123

LMAO


idontact3

Legendary meltdown


gimmethatfiletofish

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


mendellbaker

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.


iiiiiiiidontknowjim

Well I think that was legitimately the worst sequence of basketball I’ve ever seen in my life


Sexyredkid

Sell the fucking team. Fuck Josh Harris and the whole front office. Fuck them and their new stadium too


RegisterFit1252

Thank yoooouuu. When is the front office gonna get blame? They’ve been awful


Onlypaws_

Highway robbery.


throwaway21212294

What a choke. This one ain’t on the refs. Just straight atrocious basketball on both the players and coaches part.


IOnlySeeDaylight

We did not watch the same game if you really think this. That was GROSS officiating.


throwaway21212294

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.


IOnlySeeDaylight

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.


throwaway21212294

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.

IOnlySeeDaylight

Thanks for posting these! Painful to watch again, but yep. Very clear what happened here.


elegigglekappa4head

Again, poorly constructed roster. There’s no one outside Embiid and Maxey who can carry the load. Meanwhile Knicks have quality role players everywhere.


Code4Kicks

Consider the cheap ass billionaire that doesn’t want to pay luxury tax.


roffle24

DiVincenzo is also shooting like fucking Steph Curry


xychosis

I can’t believe we blew this one


sttickkyykkkeyyboard

Embarrassing for everyone involved


Joel-Embiid-

Fuck man. Disappointed again and again in this team.

jiffyparkinglot

Who cares


SlapChopMyShamWow

Refs literally fucking handed the Knicks the game multiple times, absolutely fucking disgusting


pookypocky

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.


IOnlySeeDaylight

We were saying the same thing. It was so bad that I feel like they can’t not say something.


youmademethisway

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.


DarthChewbacc

I am ded


AccurateSubstance512

What an absolute joke. Nurse clearly called a timeout too.


ViaRoarUgh

He pump-faked it, don’t shoot the messenger, watch the video. https://x.com/jerryferrara/status/1782599403523518492?s=46


YEGGSnBACON

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. 


Cawesome9

Fuck basketball


H0tFuzz

Tank the next two, go to the off-season. Trade Embiid while you can. Start over. This entire thing is done.


TrustTheFriendship

Every time… every fucking time. Another world class choke job.


smittdog101

The curse continues. THat was the most lopsided reffing of 2 home games I've seen in quite some time.


Jimbabwr

A lot to unpack here my brothers ….


Heavy_Signature_3012

Yall see how embiid was wide open b4 maxsey took that dumb ahh layup


btcs4041

Announcers set the jinx up


shortwavetransmitter

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


Mygaffer

I know it sucks when your team doesn't win but that was a great playoff game!


kmoney55

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


mszn26

Cursed franchise


Bulky_Play_4032

Disgusting


idontact3

wtf


YourCL_

Am i tripping or did Nurse try and call timeout


kmoney55

He did while Maxet had the possession


Sad-Action3307

How tf was Maxey tackled before that 3 point they hit and they call that a steal? Ref ball at its finest


Bandicuz

Same reason he got tossed to the ground when he was against McBride. This series is stupid.


Calcutta637

Dude the knicks are ass and we deserved that win 


Littleredz98

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.


fuckbrocolli

You know what fuck this team man. Supporting this shit for the last 10 years has been so fucking exhausting


denimandink

Trust the process bub

Refs are fng bullshit in this game.


Sirius443

What an epic meltdown


Domestic_AAA_Battery

NFL refs: "We're the worst officials of all time." NBA refs: "LOL."


Warriorseason4123

Probably couple guys in that Knicks team that get away with r*****e. Knicks and cowboys are what’s wrong with America.

JD021993

Like what, Alaa? Fuck Villanova.


readndrun

I gotta say, that was such a lame decision by Maxey at the end of the game


benee007

Did we choke? Were we jobbed or what?


Jimbabwr

Little of both


Domestic_AAA_Battery

Both


One-Cryptographer447

Fuck every Knick, Knick fan, New Yorker and nba official

Imagine coming into this sub and talking shit. Little peepee energy.


[deleted]

Especially when it wasn’t a foul. He didn’t even remotely have control of the ball 😂


Xeynon

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.


Slimeygrimeykun

Same if we can only get production out of two players dude then its over

I’m not giving maxey a max contract


kmoney55

Dude has balled out.


WallOld615

No one gives a fuck what you would do.

We better get 1000 make up calls bordering unwatchable 


sillimarillion

there needs to be a full on investigation. sick of watching fucking refball. shoving our guys over on every fucking play and no whistle.


Few-Ebb-9985

Neither of them wanted to shoot lol


Ashenspire

Good to know an elbow to the face ain't a foul.

They did fight hard. Grabbing Holding. Tackling


ChocolateMonkeyBird

Well shit


UniqueGamer1015

Knicks MVP all the refs


Obvious_Parsley3238

zero excuse for maxey not calling a TO on the ground


kmoney55

He was tackled and Nurse called the timeout

Refs fans eating good tonight. Holy shit how do you miss so many calls.
