IDK about that. Thibs waited a LONG gotdamm time to make subs in the third quarter despite the fact it was clear Hartenstein & DDV were awful. The Knicks being horrendous in third quarters has happened far too frequently.
I’ll give him credit for riding Mitch Robinson until the wheels came off though.
Everyone was screaming about it but the method to his madness was making sure Deuce and Mitch could play the whole 4th. That's when the game was decided. He brings Mitch in 6 minutes into the 3rd no way that would have been possible. Guys Thibs knows what he is doing. I think he's earned that over the past 4 seasons.
Deuce and Bojan flipped the game, both were agressive and both were hitting 3s, Deuce's defense on Maxey was very good..
Place was electric, Josh Hart was amazing the last 6 minutes, Brunson hit a couple of big shots but he was pressing a little bit, he got a little window and took the shot, he will adjust and be fine..
Sixers basically gave Hart and OG wide open 3s and lived with it..
Embiid couldnt move in the 2nd half, he wasnt move on defense, they were swtiching when Embiids man went to set the pick so he didnt habe to move, part of the reason why the Knicks were getting offensive boards and wide open 3s
The self-confidence arising from that hard work inspired those fearless threes in the 2Q that turned the game and, as things played out, kept the game in range when the starters had a rough 3Q.
I get players trying to gut it out but not sure you should have your franchise hobbling around and a recently surgically repaired knee.
He did not look right at all.
For anybody in NYC, Lou’s athletic club has a massive, massive screen and the atmosphere is like your at the game. A++ last night (I have nothing to do with the bar lol)
I think one adjustment defensively Thibs should make
take OG off of Maxey and put him in one of the help positions..
With OG in the help, Maxey would either have to pass it out or take a much more difficult shot..
Offensively Brunson has to slow down a little bit, seemdd like everytime he got a little daylight he took the shot and it was a little forced..Just keep trusting teammates to knock down the open 3, eventually the Sixers are going to have to relqx a little on the doubling and pressing the ball

I believe Deuce was on Maxey when he was in the game. OG was on him when Deuce was on the bench but OG wasn’t on Maxey the entire game

No not the entire game, when they were both on the court i believe it was Mcbride, bit to start the game and the 3rd OG was on him and i think OG struggles a little bit with small quick guards, he is better on help in those situations
He shouldn't be risking his career for the first round.
I don’t know man. The Sixers don’t seem to be prioritizing Embiid long term health over winning now. It’s giving me RG3 vibes when the Redskins ruined his career playing on a bad leg
He shouldn't be risking his career for the first round.
I woukdnt be shocked if he sits tomorrow, i think he played the 2nd half because they knew this was their best chance to steal one..
They were claiming it was just scar tissue type of thing, that wasnt scar tissue, the knee buckled with a brace on and in the second half he had no quick twitch moves it was all bully or long shots

Thx for the tip I may go if I can swing it. As long as I’m with the fellow psychos I’m fine. Don’t have to be at msg…

Philly eats their own, time and time again. All one needs to do is go through the list of legendary Philly athletes and see how many actually finished their career in that same town. The number of players who leave Philly while in their prime is abnormally high. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is the final death march for embid in Philly. I know every situation was and is different. Reggie white isn’t the same thing as Randal Cunningham and Cunningham isn’t the same as Charles Barkley and so on. It’s still a weird pattern.
For those saying we can't expect that from Deuce haven't seen
much of the Knicks since IQ, RJ and Grimes has been shipped out. Miles has been the Knicks best 3 point shooter and I have more confidence he will make his shot than almost any other knick if he is open or has space.
I don’t see how anyone looks at this game and sees
Ok maybe the bench scoring differential evens out some, but then Brunson, Divo and Hartenstein probably can and will all have better games.
Embiid is not getting better any time soon on that knee. I think that much is obvious.
Its mainly sixers fans, i think they believe Brunson and DDV will continue to play badly and that Deuce, Hart and Bogi will all suck the rest of the series
Its easy for me to say but if i am the Sixers i sit him, give him 4 days rest before game 3
I agree, stealing game two is not as crucial for them that winning their home games and and live to steal one in NY at some point later in series. Their best chance of that is with a rested healthier Embid
The play-in and playoff games so far have been unwatchable. Basically home team blowouts.
Been the same thing in every game. Home team gets a quick 12-0 type of run of a few threes and then just never lets up.
Story of playoffs. Who’s role players knock down there shots and show up on road games.

“They shot a million free throws in 2d quarter. It seemed like all of a sudden it was free throw time. I haven’t seen that in any playoff game all year, yet here all of a sudden there’s a parade to the line”
But those last three quarters, man the Knicks out hustled the sizers by a WIDE margin!!!!
Nauseating.

Absolutely I don't want to see the Bucks in the 2nd round even with home court.
I was hoping the Pacers would make this a series but they look shook.
Bucks are shutting him down, it's playoff basketball make everyone but your star beat you.
Playing passive, not looking for his shot, constantly looking for that cross court pass
