is still clearly better than anyone we have but you wonder how many prime years he has left.

Thats wild...

Thanks for all the info AJ. What was the offer for Bridges at the deadline?

Could you see the Suns blowing it up?

Embiid is going to need a couple of bodyguards for game 5 at the Garden

But it was something they felt the Nets were dumb for turning down.

I’m not sold on ishiba blowing it up in Phoenix

No problem with how the Knicks handled things last night, but I thought they could’ve answered that OG hip check by returning the favor. Oubre and Batum were mugging Brunson up and down the court - easily could’ve had Hartenstein or Hart go set a similar screen and put them on their ass. Just to say knock it off already.

this piece of sh-t dared the refs to stop him and instead they put him on the line 20+ times. It's a joke.

yeah - he's an all-NBA, MVP caliber player in his prime under long term contract, lol. Only way he gets moved is if things get ugly and he tries to force his way out and they give in.

I think the Knicks have to bank on him asking out. Same with Giannis or even Bridges. But it's not that uncommon anymore, and as AJR pointed out Giannis even has a handshake agreement with ownership that it's a possibility.

The Suns are in a really bad situation at the moment. They're old, they have 0 picks including their own and they're pretty bad, with maybe the worst contract in the NBA in Beal.

The Bucks aren't much better with a core all in their mid 30s outside of Giannis.

The 3 situations to watch are the Suns and Bucks and to a lesser extent the Lakers. Early exits from the playoffs for these teams could cause a shake up.

I've actually heard rumblings that Durant might want to go back to OKC.

of the Embiid dirty play

Asilver@nba.com

Knicks fans and media are personally emailing him for Embid to be suspended for Game 4. Apparently, there is video that he should have been called for a total of 6 technicals, which include taunting of Jalen Brunson and the Knicks bench on numerous occasions.

He also walked off the court before the game was over.

I'm sure this will not do any good, but it was a total disgrace.

Just by profession of elimination, he’s next in line to be moved.

Kind of like IQ. I only wish we had a young PF that was ready to break out like Deuce did after dealing IQ away.

Knicks do have 2 first rounders so maybe they can grab a young front court player and develop him.

Yep--Booker isn't going anywhere.

Durant and Beal are entirely up for grabs if they STB this postseason. Not Booker.

Yep, need a little more size upfront if we move him.

and he doesn’t move the needle like he used to despite his excellent numbers.

An OKC return would be really intriguing.

contract will be impossible to move. He never plays and it has a NTC. Wild stuff from the Wizards. No wonder they traded him for a song.

let a loss go but as the day goes on i just keep getting more and more heated about last night...

Its amazing how many flat out no other explanation dirty plays Embiid had last night. It was like 4 or 5. Draymond Green would be horrified.

Same for me. It just more irritating as I sit and think about how nurse just wanted to bitch and moan for fouls and then Embiid pulls the shit last night and the guy has nothing to say. Pure fucking filth from that organization. Wish we had someone on the team that would just flatten Embiid and send a message.


Also be nice to hear an explanation on how that wasn’t a flagrant 2 from the league office

and call fans "classless" for chanting "F Embiid"? Limiting the reaction to a fan chant may be the best case scenario!

This is the dream scenario, as I stated above. Win game four and have 48 minutes of “Fuck Embiid” chants as he sulks and ultimately quits like he always does.

and all i can think of is dcreaming fuck embiid

No i am way to angry over a game hahaha

Every freakin time the Knicks have a nemesis in the playoffs that talks shit, that nemesis ALWAYS has the last laugh. Jordan, Reggie Miller, Trae Young, etc. And now add Embiid to the list. Plays like a dirty bitch ass punk and then puts up a 50 burger. FFS man. I’m sick of it. For once I’d like the Knicks to shut that SOB up once and for all

Are they seriously just going to duck/ignore the issue? If so it's up to our feared/vaunted NY press to push the issue.

hahaha god damn no edit button

Wild finish in OT. Hali cooked Beverley for the game winner. Lots of big shots from Middleton too.

blew a 20 point lead, gave up a 3 with 1.8 that tied the game and still had enough to win the game in OT..

Suns stink BTW, has nay of these games even been close? the era of the big 3s is over

They’re getting boat raced by a 3 seed.

If you’re Devin Booker and you see 0 cap space 0 draft picks and Durant and Beal aging why do you want to stay?

and they basically ripped apart a team that went to the finals and have become a first round exit

Probably one more season of the same thing and then he asks out. But Beal and Durant will be a year older and always a possible injury.

Things have broken right for PHX this year with injuries/ etc and they still can’t compete in the first round.

It would be hilarious if Booker asked out first and left Durant stranded there. They would move Durant too but it would still be karmic justice.

I think the situation in Milwaukee could get spicy. Especially given AJs tidbit yesterday.

Unlikely to play in Game 4….

Mitchell scoreless in the second half - another postseason no-show from him. Too many.

the game was tied 70-70 halfway through the 3rd, they sckred 19 points the rest of the game

Cleveland and Milwaukee tanked their way to easier postseason matchups that they still wind up losing, while we (fingers crossed) beat the tougher opponent.

I don’t like it and it had nothing to do with Embid, who I can’t stand. I simply believe it’s trashy to yell that in public and parents that bring their young children to a game should have to deal with that. To each his own I just uncalled for.

Cleveland tanked their finale. Bucks were trying to win and get the two seed, as evidenced by the fact that they started Lillard. They packed it in when they fell behind.

I think parents bringing their kids to a Knicks playoff game had a good sense in advance that this was likely. In my neck of the woods, most kids have heard the "f" word numerous times throughout their young lives, but perhaps that's different depending on where you are. Regardless, if parents truly don't want their kids experiencing that behavior, they could have simply watched the game on tv with their kiddos.

Most interesting thing about the Cavs is they added some new players, yet have the exact same issues that they had in the first round last season… shooting, bench, generally soft.

Kelly Oubre tells the Knicks to stop crying. Holy crap. The Sixers have literally cried about calls the entire series. Every. Single. Call. And yet, apparently it’s the Knicks that are crying

if we blow this there's gonna be second guessing - but I don't care. I'm not what you'd call a Thibs fanboy but all season he had them playing to win every night despite having built in excuses to to punt one once in a while. You don't just turn that off for the last game of the season.

Nurse and the Sixers have to be the whinnyest bunch of jokers in the league

and Denver/LA doesn’t exactly have a lot of drama to it tonight.

After game 2 he ran a red light in Philly and smacked a Hyundai. He didn't receive a ticket or breathalyzer. Philly PD is now running an internal affairs investigation as to why. Source is TMZ.

Second accident in 12 months.
