NFT: Knicks @ Sixers - 1 PM - Game 4 Game Thread

Doubledeuce22 : 4/28/2024 11:01 am
Just saw a Philly beat writer say that Mitch walked into the arena with nothing on his foot. Let’s hope he plays and let’s really beat the crap out of Embiid today. Charles Oakley said it best. Make him come up top in screens all day long and set hard picks on him. Make him move all day long and beat him down. Let’s get this one!

Shouldn’t those whiny, bitch ass losers know he’s shooting then as well?

It’s been awhile since these two teams have played for anything but holy shit, I had absolutely no idea that team is so insufferable. Every single one of them needs to be punched right in the face

Battle of attrition. Dumb injury
SGA and Jamal Murray are a little banged up too.

Really sucks.
If the Heat had some shooters

They'd be in this game. Boston plays like they're bored

Couldn’t have said it any better.
How long will Bogdanovic be out?  
Eightshamrocks : 4/29/2024 9:56 pm : link
The Knicks will need his scoring and three point shooting againt the Pacers. I cringe at the thought of Burkes chucking his way to bricks.
A lot of the older guys on that team  
bceagle05 : 4/29/2024 9:57 pm : link
could learn a thing or two from Maxey - he was involved in the controversial play in Game 2 and has been all class through the ups and downs of the series.
I got Maxie envy  
AROCK1000 : 4/29/2024 10:17 pm : link
Not gonna lie....
I didn't think much of Maxey during the season  
Larry in Pencilvania : 4/29/2024 10:39 pm : link
As the Sixers lost plenty without Embiid. I live in Philly and some of their fans told me the thought he was good, just not a guy to go all in on. He's been very professional and played well this series. I could see him getting to another level.
Nuggets are in trouble  
JT039 : 4/29/2024 10:52 pm : link
They have basically played like shit all series. Their bench sucks. Murray and KCP can’t make shots and Jokic is struggling to start game 4.

Nuggets have no one that can stop Davis.
Lebron trying to guard Jokic now.  
bceagle05 : 4/29/2024 11:43 pm : link
Who does he think he is, OG Anunoby?
If they overturn this foul  
JT039 : 4/30/2024 12:19 am : link
On Davis - you know this shit is rigged. He fouled him at least 5 times on the drive and literally grabbed the back of his jersey.
Lol  
JT039 : 4/30/2024 12:21 am : link
That’s the biggest crock of shit I’ve ever seen. Might be one of the worst over turns I’ve ever seen.

Just horrific.
Free throws so far  
JT039 : 4/30/2024 12:25 am : link
Lakers 27
Nuggets 9

Lol
Murray again!!!  
JT039 : 4/30/2024 12:28 am : link
See ya Lakers.

Lakers coaches bitching at the officials. F’n priceless.

As much as the Sixers have acted like bitches the whole series (including their coach), Maxey’s carried himself well. Playing his ass off, kind of guy every team wishes they had
Imagine that after tonight  
JT039 : 4/30/2024 8:30 am : link
The following players could miss playing in the 2nd round

Curry
Davis
Lebron
KD
Booker
Embiid
Giannis
Lillard

Really hard to believe. But great for the league.
Even crazier is the new era of superstars  
Kmed6000 : 4/30/2024 9:26 am : link
and Jalen Brunson is a part of that group!
some big names  
Enzo : 4/30/2024 9:36 am : link
from the Clips vs. Mavs series will obviously not be advancing either. And then there's guys like Fox, Ja, Trae who didn't even make the first round for various reasons.
Embiid and Oubre both missing shoot around

Migraine or is it that time of the month for Embiid?

situation for a migraine than the madhouse MSG is going to be tonight. This isn’t insignificant.
I think the Sixers fold

They've never been a mentally tough team and I think losing game 4 was a dagger.

There is no migraine. Sixers been trying to build Embiid up as some sympathetic figure this entire series. He will play tonight, drop 40+ and then we can all hear about what a warrior he is. If the Knicks get out to a lead I fully expect Embiid to start dragging his leg around like it was broken in half. I’m not buying any of it
Lebron

Just had a Keyzer Soze walking away from the police station flashback
I do think Embiid's knee is messed up  
nygiants16 : 4/30/2024 11:10 am : link
the fact he has faded and given them nothing in every 4th quarter proves he is hurt and everytime he tries to be agressive he hurts himself..

Having said that, they are definitely setting it up for him to either sit or for when they pull the plug on tonight if Knicks get up early

Maybe wants another 2 year deal? He certainly played well enough this year to warrant it. Wonder if he stays in LA or if the draft will effect his destination.
lebron opting out was never the question  
nygiants16 : 4/30/2024 11:25 am : link
he will either re-sign and get his no trade clause, most likely option..

or he will sign where his son was drsfted if its a contender..

This is all to put pressure on LA

This is exactly what I thought when I saw he wasn't at shootaround. This is the same guy who has a phantom injury and misses the game every time they're playing in Denver. Also thought it was suspicious that right after his dirty play on Mitch, Woj tweets out his bell's palsy diagnosis.

Bill Simmons discussed this on his recent podcast which I agree with - there's no accountability from anyone in the organization, they always blame someone/something else besides themselves when they lose and Embiid is more than happy to follow suit.

Simmons hits the nail on the head for once. This is why I've been calling them a loser team all series. There's *always* an excuse with them.
Embiid  
Pete44 : 4/30/2024 11:56 am : link
There is no way Embiid does not play tonight at least to start, but the fans will be giving him a very hard time. Think Porzingis in his 1st game at MSG with Dallas. They completely rattled KP and will try to do the same to Embiid.

Ham expected to be fired  
JT039 : 4/30/2024 11:58 am : link
Lebron gets another coach fired.

Pathetic.
great game last night  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/30/2024 12:16 pm : link
Murray is a killer. Minny vs. Denver should be awesome. Edwards is becoming a star before our eyes.

Ham is a genuinely bad coach though. The only reason the Lakers weren't the 4 seed or better is because he played Cam Reddish as a starter for so many games instead of sticking with the lineup that got them to the WCF last year.

Hopefully the Knicks close the deal tonight. Def think they have a chance now to advance to the Finals if Porzingis is out.

Hopefully not bc would love Spidah on the Knicks.

Has has the title as coach. But let’s be real - we all know who coaches the Lakers.

Nowhere. His other son is going into his senior year of HS. I'd be very surprised if LeBron went someplace else that wasn't at least within a few hours away a la GS.

I thought he looked way healthier than the first few games. He actually looked pretty nimble guarding Brunson around the perimeter in the 4th.

As for him fading offensively - he played the entire 2nd half and hasn’t ramped up his conditioning yet. We need to finish the series tonight.
LeBron isn’t going anywhere.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 4/30/2024 2:09 pm : link
He gave up on winning as his top priority when he chose the Lakers in the first place. He’s chosen family and lifestyle as his top priorities and there’s nothing wrong with that.

This charade until he re-signs is just to maintain leverage in the negotiations which now includes his son’s future.
