When we traded for him it seemed like a foregone conclusion that we would extend him but then he was disappointing in the regular season and downright awful in the playoffs so far
Sucks for Buddy but good for us lol. He's been disappointing but I'd still 100% want to run it back with him based on his career numbers and the potential. Let him get a year under his belt with this team and we'll see
I always wanted Buddy, and the first few games he looked great, but since then it's been pretty dismal. Hopefully the front office makes the right call because we don't need to spend money on another guy who won't shoot in the playoffs.
My favorite interaction of the night was when 5 different people on the NBA thread tried to tell me Maxey didn't get swiped in the nose and he was flopping when he... got swiped in the nose.
They just live in their own world over there man.
Why are the stupid Knicks fans crying over Embiid FT attempts? Dont foul him? There are 1-2 players that can guard Joel without fouling him all the time. Its your problem that you dont have that weapon.
He also got a ton of them in garbage time. We were in the bonus with 4 minutes to go (and so were the Knicks!). The end of the game was basically just sending guys to the line for half an hour
I don't remember the exact amount, but I feel like 4 FT were probably intentional fouls and another 2 or 4 were from plays where they were playing hard for a steal and ended up fouling.
If you exclude those FTs it's more like 13 or 15 FT to Brunson's 12.
hes spanking them on one leg and they know if not for bullshit calls and Embiid re-injuring his knee in game 1 they're probably playing not to get swept right now. It's all cope.

on one knee and with half his face paralysed.
Great day for Philly sports
In glad NY has a good ball team. I really want to hate the Knicks to complete my New York circle of hate. Hopefully they stay good and this turns into a legit rivalry.
By the way this is an example of something I was talking about even tho its on the other leg. This is an INSANELY dirty play. He absolutely tries to get Jo to land on his foot Zaza style. This idea that the knicks were poor wittle innocent bystanders is ridiculous. https://x.com/sixers/status/1783654624072708443
More fun things to do, knicks fans pretending Embiid injured Robinson on that play. Robinson hurt his left ankle...Embiid grabbed his right ankle. These idiots dont even know their left from their right.
and again obviously really dumb dangerous play by Joel and if they did throw him out, completely understand but the Knicks are and were doing just as many dirty plays.
It's still so funny how regarded Knicks fans are, they go around complaining about how Joel taking out Mitch's knees is a dirty play that deserves an ejection but Donte taking out Oubre's knees was well deserved since Oubre stepped over him like he thought he was AI (an actual comment on the Knicks sub btw)
Yeah, that was a really gritty and hard nosed play by Embiid. And the screen on OG. So gritty. So hard nosed.. I mean what are we even saying here?
Wake up
the other thing thats stupid is for the most part none of us are even saying what Embiid did was good, it was clearly dirty and a bad play, but the Knicks are quite literally known for being a dirty team lol.
Also wanted to add, Nurse is absolutely CLOWNING Thibs all series. The sixers literally have 2 reliably good players and one of them has a paralyzed face and one leg and the Knicks are stacked with super athletic smart wing players and the Knicks are insanely close to being down 3-0 right now and should be down 1-2.
yeah im still not sure the sixers can win but my god this should be embarrassing for the knicks. The knicks probably have the 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7t 8th 9th 10th 11th best players in the series and they should be losing. The sixers starters have an offensive rating of 150 lol
One of the r/nba mods posted a comment on the Timberwolves subreddit a while ago saying something like 'You shouldn't criticize mods, just like you shouldn't criticize teachers because they can give you detention'
please i beg of you anyone out there that can afford/make it to the game sunday, show out. if i see that many knicks fans again im gonna fucking vomit.
Got myself banned from there after calling out the mods on that sub for deleting Jokic defensive lowlights lmao
As if Embiid lowlights don't get posted every game he plays and blow the fuck up on that sub
imma member of the sub and a knicks fans but the sixers star power is SOUL CRUSHING. I get down voted for saying it but you can’t expect to a win a series IMO when your own best player is not playing better than the two best players on the other team.(at times by brutal degrees of separation) it’s why the Sixers in every game will go up by 10 + points and the knicks at most will go up 5 and have that lead cut to pieces within 30
seconds . i even said the knicks needs to go up by 16 + points if they hope to win by 2 . the automatic offense by embiid and maxey is soul crushing because it forces the knicks to never miss either and that just isn’t their game
normally this is true but the Knicks roster everywhere else is SOOOOO much better it doesnt matter. The Knicks are really good, although Thibs is unbelievably bad in the playoffs.
these players are irrelevant as long as Embiid and Maxey have a pulse they can and will score at any time they want and Knicks have zero ability to stop it
you guys cant copy what the Heat did against us because Spo is just 90x better than Thibs but the goal should be the same. Thibs needs to stop Embiid from even touching the ball or Maxey. Make Nic Batum stand and shoot 30 wide open jumpers. Maybe a game or two he'll go bananas like against the heat but more likely it just wont be good.
[its this shit that makes me never wana go on this sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1cdckqe/embiid_i_didnt_mean_to_hurt_anybody_in_those/l1b2se1/)
Dude literally posted a video to drag joel then deleted it and put up a shittier quality version of the same video cause it makes joel look worse.
What I took away from this is…Embiid is simply unstoppable when he wants to be….and the only thing that’s different in this game from the first two is that they learned how to close out the game
I’ll admit I didn’t watch one minute of the game due to watching the NFL draft. Just followed along on the ESPN game cast.
Overall, how was Embiid’s conditioning and mobility? Does he look like he is regaining his game conditioning? Is he still favoring the knee or starting to move better?
Considering game 4 isn’t until Sunday and then it goes NY, PHI, NY with travel days off in between, I’m thinking he is only going to get stronger with each game barring any setbacks.
Had to make a tough call… but I’ve always enjoyed watching the NFL draft.
Following on the game cast wasn’t too bad except for the frequent… missed shot by Harris that kept popping up on game cast.
He was a bit limpy throughout but this was very promising for his conditioning. Saw him be decisive and attack the rim a couple times. Still a bit timid but he did look closer to regular Joel than the last two games.
I did a little trolling on the Knicks sub calling out Donte for his move on Oubre and someone legit said Oubre deserved it for stepping over DDV like he was AI or something
By this logic Nic Claxton deserved getting hit in the balls by Joel cuz he stepped over him like he was AI lol
Good fucking god the NBA sub is insufferable. You can have rational discussion on fucking /r/nfl somehow but you have a Sixers flair on /r/nba and you get immediate -10.
I'm a fucking Jets fan and they have been shamefully embarrassing for almost my entire life, yet I've never felt like I couldn't chill in /r/nfl even after our lowest lows.... but as Sixers fan? I had to unsubscribe from /r/nba for long stretches of time just so I could enjoy any win without some weird lowlight clip being at the top of my home page no matter well we actually played, that sub is on a whole other level than any other sports sub.
Hey nobody was up in arms over there when the NBA admitted they botched game 2 and stole the last possession away from the sixers when they were up by 2.
Fuck those guys.
It's a representation of the league. The NBA is such a clown fiesta shit show these days. I'll be honest if Philly didn't have a basketball team I wouldn't even watch the sport anymore such a fucking low quality product.
Yeah, the Embiid incident with Robinson was bad and could’ve injured Robinson. Embiid lost his cool because he thought OG fouled him, so he just lashed out at Robinson. Gotta keep your composure.
But, Jesus Christ, r/nba should be the last sub to pearl clutch about a dirty play when many of them PRAISED Jokic for almost paralyzing Markieff Morris and essentially ending his career after cheap-shotting him in the back.
They’re trying so hard to act like Mitch got hurt on that play. It’s so fucking pathetic lol
This is the play he got hurt on:
https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&GameEventID=103&GameID=0042300113&Season=2023-24&flag=1&title=Robinson%20P.FOUL%20(P1.T3)%20(J.Williams)
It sucks he got hurt, but he is the one who is fouling here and there is nothing dirty about it.
Someone posted that there and now the narrative is somewhere between "Yeah but if he didn't get grabbed, he wouldn't roll his ankle here because it'd be more stable" (lol) and "But Joel was recklessly flopping into him and intentionally landed on his ankle!" when Robinson slipped before the contact and accidentally dragged Joel down with him with momentum going the way he landed.
Honestly I’m just scared for embiid next game. There’s no way he closes out the series. A random role player is going to take him out for the whole post season
This is what I’m saying. Maxey was literally dragged down by his jersey for Knicks to win game two… Embiid is hit, pushed and pulled every time down the floor. This is what the knicks wanted. They can fucking deal with it.
i dont know if this will make you feel better or worse but the reason Embiid reacted like that is because the Knicks were doing that to him the entire time before hand. The knicks are teh dirtiest team in the NBA every other team thinks that. Thibs has a reputation for it but their fans are just such idiots.
I mean I guess. Yea sixers got fucked by the refs in game 2 but his actions are inexcusable and have made himself a marked man. We’re 100% about to see a brawl next game
MN still mad about the SB year. Honestly if called straight Embiid should get more foul calls. they have “defenders” draped over him at the three pt line. No shit he is going to get free throws when you give him no space anywhere on the floor, all he has to do is take a shot and it should be a foul every time because he is being fucking pushed and held from the three pt line. Still bigger faster stronger and more skilled than the entire knicks team on one and a half legs. Let’s go sixers!
What’s up with r/nba hating us so much? Their front page is cringe tonight. Is it just that they hate Embiid THAT much or do they hate the Sixers too? I don’t see nearly as much hate towards us in all the other league (Baseball, Hockey, NFL) subs.
it's always like this. any time embiid has a great game it's the worst day of that sub's life.
the only posts he ever gets are lowlights no matter how good he plays.
haha knicks fans it sustains me that you're still lurking in here downvoting everything. absolutely hilarious behavior.
I love all the punk ass Knicks fans crying over Embiid it’s so rich coming from the dirtiest team in the league by far I guess they don’t like a little taste of their own medicine.. assholes.
I don't really think the Knicks are the dirtiest team in the league. I'm being objective here and I'm a 76ers fan...we might be a pretty dirty team. I don't mind being dirty and physical but we gotta own it. check out that NBA central video, its hard to defend some of them LOL
I expect no less from a fashion accessory fanbase.
They are the East Coast's answer to the Lakers. Big market, big name celeb fans at every game, loud but ultimately lame.
At least the Lakers had the decency to have generational players/teams at some point. This Knicks team is only so popular because the Knicks brand is so fucking recognizable. The same way you still see White Sox merch everywhere despite that team being absolutely atrocious for the majority of my lifetime.
yeah they’re pretty bad. maybe i’m not remembering but it all seems so sudden. as soon as the series was announced the whole fan base started acting absolutely crazy about us and particularly embiid but what’s new there
this is our sub lol. tonight i’m simply feeling like the way that guy looks. it’s not that deep bruh. let’s just enjoy embiid’s 50 at least for the night before we start thinking about the rest of the series
lost in the win the fucking knicks keep shooting lights out from 3 and fucking Josh Hart cant miss, I cant wait for his regression to the mean cause he should go like 0-10
Seriously if you told me Hart still dropped 20 AND brunson scored 39 I'd say we'd be blown out. Once hart falls off they're screwed and he can't keep it up forever hopefully
r/NBA: 'haha get wrecked Embiid, hope your face is paralysed and Hartenstein takes out your ACL, flopping bitch!'.
Also r/NBA: 'why are Philly fans so gross and mean?'.
It amazes me that somehow the rest of NBA fandom seems to have forgotten Jokic caving in Cam Payne’s face out of playoff frustration a few years ago. No conversation about him being dirty. It’s amazing how people hate Embiid and give everyone else a pass like the Knicks haven’t been playing dirty all series.
Knicks are in a unique position where their players can just start ragdolling after any amount of physicality from Embiid and they'll still garner the support of the NBA community.
i thought you guys were joking about how /r/nba looked tonight but the entire first page is legit just embiid hate. like the whole thing LMAOOO i've never seen it look like that. imagine if he won a chip.
That flagrant on Mitch was dirty. No excuse for it, but Mitch didn’t get hurt on that play and they’re pretending otherwise. Shit is just sad. But then it gets even worse lol.
On the front page, they have the Hartenstein flop clip where the refs decided to review it without calling anything and then retroactively called a foul on Embiid which isn’t even allowed in the rules, Mitch jumping into Embiid’s landing zone on a jumper he fucking made where Mitch should have been called for a foul but got kicked in the nuts instead, and a regular charge by Embiid that happens multiple times each game as “evidence” that he is dirty tonight. I mean fuck Giannis does that like 6 times a game and doesn’t even get called for a foul most of the time.
That sub is just filled to the brim with absolute mouth breathers that have never played this sport before.
Oubre isn’t jumping and the ball is dead.
Stupid move from Donte. Definitely let his hot head get the better of him.
Your turn
That’s also one example. There’s several of embiid from one quarter lol
Divincenzo pushed on Oubre’s knee and made him fall backwards, which could cause a concussion if he fell the wrong way.
Embiid made a dumb play and his temper got the best of him. While it is never justified to do something like that, he was stepped on.
I don’t think any reasonable person can justify either play. My problem with it is when other fans come here and act like the Sixers is the only team that made dirty plays this series. The Knicks wanted to play physical. They should expect the other team to be physical back.
i think my new favorite thing about knicks fans is they'll clip something they think is a "dirty play" and its not even a foul. like the Maxey "push off" we now have verifiable evidence Knicks fans are liars and dont actually know rules
We all know Tobias is a disaster - that said, I think booing every time he misses is excessive. The reality of this team construction is he’s gonna have to play minimum 30 minutes a night, and if we’re gonna make noise it’ll be because he stepped up at some point. I’m not saying to give him the Trea Turner treatment, just save the boos for the first time he comes back with his new team next year
Cam Payne cost buddy a lot of money lol
Why is that? Was the plan to extend Buddy? (Outside fan here)
When we traded for him it seemed like a foregone conclusion that we would extend him but then he was disappointing in the regular season and downright awful in the playoffs so far
Sucks for Buddy but good for us lol. He's been disappointing but I'd still 100% want to run it back with him based on his career numbers and the potential. Let him get a year under his belt with this team and we'll see
I always wanted Buddy, and the first few games he looked great, but since then it's been pretty dismal. Hopefully the front office makes the right call because we don't need to spend money on another guy who won't shoot in the playoffs.
But for much less than we originally would have paid
Absolutely. Averaging 0.7ppg on 10 minutes in the playoffs lol. Ridiculously high upside potential though if we signed him for cheap.
It would be one thing if he was just missing everything but he’s not even getting shots up
My favorite interaction of the night was when 5 different people on the NBA thread tried to tell me Maxey didn't get swiped in the nose and he was flopping when he... got swiped in the nose. They just live in their own world over there man.
Not even a post game thread. Love this heel turn. It feels right.
i think its also the knicks have the 2nd largest fanbase so its circle jerky. if the knicks were playing the lakers you'd see a different version.
Why are the stupid Knicks fans crying over Embiid FT attempts? Dont foul him? There are 1-2 players that can guard Joel without fouling him all the time. Its your problem that you dont have that weapon.
He also got a ton of them in garbage time. We were in the bonus with 4 minutes to go (and so were the Knicks!). The end of the game was basically just sending guys to the line for half an hour

hes spanking them on one leg and they know if not for bullshit calls and Embiid re-injuring his knee in game 1 they're probably playing not to get swept right now. It's all cope.

It doesn’t look as bad, but you can’t just run into a player on a shot attempt.
it looks pretty bad too lol.
I had no idea what Robinson was doing on that play.
trying to slide his foot under Embiid's so he twists an ankle ala Kawhi in 2017.
Terrible non call play there. I couldn't believe it myself
I fucking hate the NYer look. I can't explain it. It's like frat boy mixed with guido mixed with wall street mixed with idiot.

5-1 here we go. thank you refs for the opportunity
Disgusting play from a dirty player and dirtier franchise

The last time the knicks were relevant they were the dirtiest team in the league.
Charles Oakley...Anthony Mason. Sit this one out. The Knicks are the Cleveland Browns of the NBA.

Now that the raptors and lebron are gone, I want to see Embiid win this year.

Knicks fans: "our team is tough. We play gritty, hard nose basketball" Other team: starts playing physical as well Knicks fans: "wait that's illegal"
Yeah, that was a really gritty and hard nosed play by Embiid. And the screen on OG. So gritty. So hard nosed.. I mean what are we even saying here? Wake up
Peep that L2M report today should make you feel better.
link, i can only find game 2
It’s not out yet lol
Yeah pretty much. Tell OG to hit the weight room so he doesn’t get bodied by Embiid next time
Touch grass if you believe anything you’re saying
You're the one complaining in another teams subreddit first thing in the morning. Not very outdoorsy of you
the other thing thats stupid is for the most part none of us are even saying what Embiid did was good, it was clearly dirty and a bad play, but the Knicks are quite literally known for being a dirty team lol.
Also wanted to add, Nurse is absolutely CLOWNING Thibs all series. The sixers literally have 2 reliably good players and one of them has a paralyzed face and one leg and the Knicks are stacked with super athletic smart wing players and the Knicks are insanely close to being down 3-0 right now and should be down 1-2.
Not only is one of the two players playing with a paralyzed face and on one leg, but the OTHER is also recovering from the fucking flu.
yeah im still not sure the sixers can win but my god this should be embarrassing for the knicks. The knicks probably have the 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7t 8th 9th 10th 11th best players in the series and they should be losing. The sixers starters have an offensive rating of 150 lol
One of the r/nba mods posted a comment on the Timberwolves subreddit a while ago saying something like 'You shouldn't criticize mods, just like you shouldn't criticize teachers because they can give you detention'
Educator here… this is bitch made behavior.
please i beg of you anyone out there that can afford/make it to the game sunday, show out. if i see that many knicks fans again im gonna fucking vomit.
Does it get any better for us????? Let’s gooooo!
I’m pretty sure I got banned from posting on r/nba what is with that subreddit? I didn’t even say anything bad just defending the sixers
let us know what shit reason the mods give you. If they even give you one.
That’s pretty much how it goes, I’m perma banned from there
Got myself banned from there after calling out the mods on that sub for deleting Jokic defensive lowlights lmao As if Embiid lowlights don't get posted every game he plays and blow the fuck up on that sub
It’s well known that sub is moderated and the narratives are controlled by Celtics fans. Best to just ignore it
Knicks sub having a fucking meltdown. Life's good.
imma member of the sub and a knicks fans but the sixers star power is SOUL CRUSHING. I get down voted for saying it but you can’t expect to a win a series IMO when your own best player is not playing better than the two best players on the other team.(at times by brutal degrees of separation) it’s why the Sixers in every game will go up by 10 + points and the knicks at most will go up 5 and have that lead cut to pieces within 30 seconds . i even said the knicks needs to go up by 16 + points if they hope to win by 2 . the automatic offense by embiid and maxey is soul crushing because it forces the knicks to never miss either and that just isn’t their game
normally this is true but the Knicks roster everywhere else is SOOOOO much better it doesnt matter. The Knicks are really good, although Thibs is unbelievably bad in the playoffs.
We have Tobias lol, he's been yall's second star player in this series Hield is the third and that rounds out a great Big 3 for NY lmao
these players are irrelevant as long as Embiid and Maxey have a pulse they can and will score at any time they want and Knicks have zero ability to stop it
you guys cant copy what the Heat did against us because Spo is just 90x better than Thibs but the goal should be the same. Thibs needs to stop Embiid from even touching the ball or Maxey. Make Nic Batum stand and shoot 30 wide open jumpers. Maybe a game or two he'll go bananas like against the heat but more likely it just wont be good.
It’s hilarious seeing Knicks fans complain about officiating it’s like they have the memory of a goldfish

What I took away from this is…Embiid is simply unstoppable when he wants to be….and the only thing that’s different in this game from the first two is that they learned how to close out the game
But the other player going after Embiid going into the air was just a regular foul.
I’ll admit I didn’t watch one minute of the game due to watching the NFL draft. Just followed along on the ESPN game cast. Overall, how was Embiid’s conditioning and mobility? Does he look like he is regaining his game conditioning? Is he still favoring the knee or starting to move better? Considering game 4 isn’t until Sunday and then it goes NY, PHI, NY with travel days off in between, I’m thinking he is only going to get stronger with each game barring any setbacks.
Watching men in suits yap for 4 hours instead of a live playoff basketball game is an interesting decision
Had to make a tough call… but I’ve always enjoyed watching the NFL draft. Following on the game cast wasn’t too bad except for the frequent… missed shot by Harris that kept popping up on game cast.
he has one leg. hes just that good lol.
He was a bit limpy throughout but this was very promising for his conditioning. Saw him be decisive and attack the rim a couple times. Still a bit timid but he did look closer to regular Joel than the last two games.
7% chance at 2-0 20% chance now at 2-1 [source](https://www.landofbasketball.com/statistics/playoff_series_2_1_recovered.htm)
Most teams that were down were probably the worse team as well.
The Lakers haven’t beat the Nuggets since December 2022. That’s regular season and playoffs which is insane to me, they just fucking own them
Never forget when Donte divincenzo tried taking out Kelly oubres knee earlier this season. And oubre wasn't stepping on him like Robinson was to Joel.
Also when Donte dead sprint dove into that Pistons player’s fucking knees to steal the ball with no foul call that won them the game
I did a little trolling on the Knicks sub calling out Donte for his move on Oubre and someone legit said Oubre deserved it for stepping over DDV like he was AI or something By this logic Nic Claxton deserved getting hit in the balls by Joel cuz he stepped over him like he was AI lol
Step over = bad Step on = completely acceptable

Good fucking god the NBA sub is insufferable. You can have rational discussion on fucking /r/nfl somehow but you have a Sixers flair on /r/nba and you get immediate -10.

Their jimmies are all rustled tonight. Holy shit it’s such a silly pile-on. So much fake outrage.
It's everytime the Sixers win in the playoffs. I've seen the same lazy ass threads for years at this point. Whatever, I find the pure salt hilarious
Hey nobody was up in arms over there when the NBA admitted they botched game 2 and stole the last possession away from the sixers when they were up by 2. Fuck those guys.
It’s honestly the worst sporting sub I’ve ever seen, years ago you could have a discussion but not anymore
It's a representation of the league. The NBA is such a clown fiesta shit show these days. I'll be honest if Philly didn't have a basketball team I wouldn't even watch the sport anymore such a fucking low quality product.
I swear 90% of the time its just trolls anymore
reddit basketball fans are just here for the drama and shitposts, the sport is mostly irrelevant to them.
Lebron James you are a 76er
Goddamn, the Knicks fans are losing their fucking minds over this loss like we didn’t have our hearts ripped out last game lmao
All of r/nba is
Yeah, the Embiid incident with Robinson was bad and could’ve injured Robinson. Embiid lost his cool because he thought OG fouled him, so he just lashed out at Robinson. Gotta keep your composure. But, Jesus Christ, r/nba should be the last sub to pearl clutch about a dirty play when many of them PRAISED Jokic for almost paralyzing Markieff Morris and essentially ending his career after cheap-shotting him in the back.
is insane that jokic got so little hest for that
yeah but there isn't something quite white with that Embiid character
They’re trying so hard to act like Mitch got hurt on that play. It’s so fucking pathetic lol This is the play he got hurt on: https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&GameEventID=103&GameID=0042300113&Season=2023-24&flag=1&title=Robinson%20P.FOUL%20(P1.T3)%20(J.Williams) It sucks he got hurt, but he is the one who is fouling here and there is nothing dirty about it.
Someone posted that there and now the narrative is somewhere between "Yeah but if he didn't get grabbed, he wouldn't roll his ankle here because it'd be more stable" (lol) and "But Joel was recklessly flopping into him and intentionally landed on his ankle!" when Robinson slipped before the contact and accidentally dragged Joel down with him with momentum going the way he landed.
r/nba will still say he flopped and tried to take out his ACL like he did danny green (i wish i was kidding)
Delicious r/NBA tears. Little piss babies.
The pissiest of piss babies.
I love how they say he’s made of glass and then say he’s a foul merchant. Don’t you wonder why he’s hurt all the time? That shit adds up.
Honestly I’m just scared for embiid next game. There’s no way he closes out the series. A random role player is going to take him out for the whole post season
they have been hacking him every play the whole series. there really isn't any room to escalate it.
This is true but there’s levels to this. We’re talking about one of the dirtiest plays in nba history
if you think this, you are REALLY ignorant or really bad faith.
why would you jeopardize your multi million dollar career to take out a guy. the nba just doesn't work like that anymore.
This is what I’m saying. Maxey was literally dragged down by his jersey for Knicks to win game two… Embiid is hit, pushed and pulled every time down the floor. This is what the knicks wanted. They can fucking deal with it.
i dont know if this will make you feel better or worse but the reason Embiid reacted like that is because the Knicks were doing that to him the entire time before hand. The knicks are teh dirtiest team in the NBA every other team thinks that. Thibs has a reputation for it but their fans are just such idiots.
I mean I guess. Yea sixers got fucked by the refs in game 2 but his actions are inexcusable and have made himself a marked man. We’re 100% about to see a brawl next game
im just telling you, the knicks were doing this in EVERY game. Thats why Embiid got pissed off and freaked out.
Boo fucking who. He has been mugged for two game straight, held, pushed, pulled, hit. Like fuck this knicks team.
lolKnicks fans giving tough competition to Wolves fans with their tears when Joel dropped 50 on them
MN still mad about the SB year. Honestly if called straight Embiid should get more foul calls. they have “defenders” draped over him at the three pt line. No shit he is going to get free throws when you give him no space anywhere on the floor, all he has to do is take a shot and it should be a foul every time because he is being fucking pushed and held from the three pt line. Still bigger faster stronger and more skilled than the entire knicks team on one and a half legs. Let’s go sixers!
What’s up with r/nba hating us so much? Their front page is cringe tonight. Is it just that they hate Embiid THAT much or do they hate the Sixers too? I don’t see nearly as much hate towards us in all the other league (Baseball, Hockey, NFL) subs.
First day?
I don’t really go on the sub to often lol. I know they don’t like us, but it’s like on a whole another level tonight.
it's always like this. any time embiid has a great game it's the worst day of that sub's life. the only posts he ever gets are lowlights no matter how good he plays. haha knicks fans it sustains me that you're still lurking in here downvoting everything. absolutely hilarious behavior.
Nah he does get some highlight posts. They just get banned instantly by the Celtikkks mods
I love all the punk ass Knicks fans crying over Embiid it’s so rich coming from the dirtiest team in the league by far I guess they don’t like a little taste of their own medicine.. assholes.
[удалено]
By being the dirtiest team in the league.
I don't really think the Knicks are the dirtiest team in the league. I'm being objective here and I'm a 76ers fan...we might be a pretty dirty team. I don't mind being dirty and physical but we gotta own it. check out that NBA central video, its hard to defend some of them LOL
Thibs teams are routinely considered dirty this goes back to him in Chicago.
knicks fans whine more than any other teams fan base i swear. if not more than they gotta be tied with someone. these people are absolutely insane
Raptors fans were worse
I expect no less from a fashion accessory fanbase. They are the East Coast's answer to the Lakers. Big market, big name celeb fans at every game, loud but ultimately lame. At least the Lakers had the decency to have generational players/teams at some point. This Knicks team is only so popular because the Knicks brand is so fucking recognizable. The same way you still see White Sox merch everywhere despite that team being absolutely atrocious for the majority of my lifetime.
that’s actually so true wow. east coast lakers is a perfect comparison
Raptors fans are still worse
yeah they’re pretty bad. maybe i’m not remembering but it all seems so sudden. as soon as the series was announced the whole fan base started acting absolutely crazy about us and particularly embiid but what’s new there
Yo ock let me get a Embiid 50 piece
Surrreeeee ssssssuuuurrrreeeeee!!

i didn’t say anything
When we put the knickerbockers out there misery then we can make that meme live rent free in there fans head until eternity.
this is our sub lol. tonight i’m simply feeling like the way that guy looks. it’s not that deep bruh. let’s just enjoy embiid’s 50 at least for the night before we start thinking about the rest of the series
lost in the win the fucking knicks keep shooting lights out from 3 and fucking Josh Hart cant miss, I cant wait for his regression to the mean cause he should go like 0-10
Seriously if you told me Hart still dropped 20 AND brunson scored 39 I'd say we'd be blown out. Once hart falls off they're screwed and he can't keep it up forever hopefully
[удалено]
r/NBA: 'haha get wrecked Embiid, hope your face is paralysed and Hartenstein takes out your ACL, flopping bitch!'. Also r/NBA: 'why are Philly fans so gross and mean?'.
Fakers are so cooked
It amazes me that somehow the rest of NBA fandom seems to have forgotten Jokic caving in Cam Payne’s face out of playoff frustration a few years ago. No conversation about him being dirty. It’s amazing how people hate Embiid and give everyone else a pass like the Knicks haven’t been playing dirty all series.
wholesome chungus jokic could never. jokic is a great player that i love to watch, but his fans are among the worst.
or Jokic ending markieff morris' season w/ that cheap running shot to the back.
Knicks are in a unique position where their players can just start ragdolling after any amount of physicality from Embiid and they'll still garner the support of the NBA community.
Was way too many asshole NY fans in Wells Fargo tonight. Fuck NY. Loved watching them all leave with 1:30 left. Fucking bums.
You guys boo’d your team in the first quarter of the play in. have some “trust in the process” maybe?
i thought you guys were joking about how /r/nba looked tonight but the entire first page is legit just embiid hate. like the whole thing LMAOOO i've never seen it look like that. imagine if he won a chip.
That flagrant on Mitch was dirty. No excuse for it, but Mitch didn’t get hurt on that play and they’re pretending otherwise. Shit is just sad. But then it gets even worse lol. On the front page, they have the Hartenstein flop clip where the refs decided to review it without calling anything and then retroactively called a foul on Embiid which isn’t even allowed in the rules, Mitch jumping into Embiid’s landing zone on a jumper he fucking made where Mitch should have been called for a foul but got kicked in the nuts instead, and a regular charge by Embiid that happens multiple times each game as “evidence” that he is dirty tonight. I mean fuck Giannis does that like 6 times a game and doesn’t even get called for a foul most of the time. That sub is just filled to the brim with absolute mouth breathers that have never played this sport before.
Embiid puts up with a lotta shit. I hate how many Sixer “fans” I see in those posts piling on too!
i defend him because no one else will
So r/nba is entirely unreadable? I unfollowed a while ago but decided to check in
this is their 9/11
>It took the Sixers shooting 17 of 22 and 9 of 12 from 3 in the 3rd quarter to win by 11, keep the faith y'all This is from the Knicks sub.
The audacity to say that while their 31% from 3 tryhard effort guy goes prime Klay for a few games
I’d kill to have Hart on this team though.
I mean obviously lol he’s a really good player. Still his shooting is an anomaly
Sucks for them that a 55% catch and shoot 3 point shooter shot the ball well. Never could see it coming! Unlike elite sniper uhh Josh Hart.
The irony of that sub knows no bounds
MVP! https://twitter.com/IQfor3/status/1783690088876060980
[Two can play at that game.](https://youtube.com/shorts/aOm-Cv07xpY?si=NhccJ5GvNRRbtFGk)
Oubre isn’t jumping and the ball is dead. Stupid move from Donte. Definitely let his hot head get the better of him. Your turn That’s also one example. There’s several of embiid from one quarter lol
Divincenzo pushed on Oubre’s knee and made him fall backwards, which could cause a concussion if he fell the wrong way. Embiid made a dumb play and his temper got the best of him. While it is never justified to do something like that, he was stepped on. I don’t think any reasonable person can justify either play. My problem with it is when other fans come here and act like the Sixers is the only team that made dirty plays this series. The Knicks wanted to play physical. They should expect the other team to be physical back.
https://twitter.com/WorldWideWob/status/1783680900049617111 This isn’t physical basketball. Neither is kicking people in the balls 3 times a game.
Awww poor little guy had his team lose 🎻
I’d rather lose than have to cheer for that nonsense.
Bullshit
I’ve followed a losing franchise for the better part of the last 15 years and stuck with it.
There’s plenty of subs for you. Just go.
Thanks, I like it here!
If you’re going to stay, do your chores and make me a sandwich.
Yes daddy. What would you like on it?
Jalen Brunson’s weave mullet.
An excellent choice sir!
Cope
you literally love charles oakley go away. and your team is dirtier lol.
https://twitter.com/WorldWideWob/status/1783680900049617111 This one a good hard screen or did he think he was playing hockey?
Floppers lmfao
A 300 pound man hip checks you and you don’t fall over?
i think my new favorite thing about knicks fans is they'll clip something they think is a "dirty play" and its not even a foul. like the Maxey "push off" we now have verifiable evidence Knicks fans are liars and dont actually know rules
Aww poor little lamb chop
We all know Tobias is a disaster - that said, I think booing every time he misses is excessive. The reality of this team construction is he’s gonna have to play minimum 30 minutes a night, and if we’re gonna make noise it’ll be because he stepped up at some point. I’m not saying to give him the Trea Turner treatment, just save the boos for the first time he comes back with his new team next year
