NFT: Sixers' G Tyrese Maxey quesitonable for tonight's game

Kidding, I hope it’s nothing serious.

Game 2 the Crew Chief is John Goble the Miami boy. Don't tell me this isn't a conspiracy to eliminate the Knicks early.

I think Brunson was sick in Game 1, but the Knicks did not report it. It is something I heard.

The Knicks have had more than their share of injuries this year. I have no pity.

As long as he's not bed ridden, I expect him to play.

I think it’s just that the officiating in the NBA blows, so regardless of who they assign to the game we’d be unhappy.

They are reporting down in Philly that he may be questionable as well with that leg injury.

So if Maxey and Embid limited....that is a big deal.

100%. The only official I truly fear is Tony Brothers

Scott Foster is blind he screws everybody.
If the league cares about one thing it's eyeballs and ratings and the Knicks and the NY market definitely bring that.

Yup. Nobody's spotting us a lead bc Randle's out for the season. It's a war of attrition, Knicks are fortunate Mitch and OG made it back, but I don't care who's hurt or sick for our opponents

That said, I expect Maxey and Embiid to play until they don't

When I first saw the thread title I would have thought it was his knee/leg that Hart fell on.

is out tonight. Sixers just doing some game playing!

don't get that kind of luck. Also, they've been listing Embiid as questionable before every game since the knee surgery, so don't read much into that.

It is not in the league's best interest for the Knicks to make an early exit this year. But, I did find Game 1 to have been called unevenly, in favor of the Sixers.

Part of the reason he had playoff collapses, now being out for months, and trying to work into basketball shape in the playoffs is not helping.
He played zero defense in the 2nd half and took horrible shots because he was spent and probably sore as hell. they have to force him to contest and move on both sides of the ball. Seeing how Nurse plays him tonight in the first half will be interesting does he try and save him for the 4th quarter?
They need to have Duece on Maxey as much as possible tonight he can match the quickness up top and limit the free moves to the rim.

we need guys like OG and Hart driving right at Embiid. Get blocked a few times, I don't care, we will rack up fouls and (legally and ethically) exploit his injury.

as well as Embiid, IMO.

You gotta attack Embiid and get him moving. Clearly he's hobbled.

I think Embiid is going to be questionable the rest of his career...

i wouldnt be shocked if Embiid sits, so will Maxey

.

Knicks didn’t have a lottery pick play a minute for them in Game 1.

The only Knick drafted inside the top-20 was Donte DiVincenzo (17th overall). Brunson: second round Hartenstein: second round Hart: last pick first round McBride: second round Mitch Rob: second round Bogdanovic: second round OG: 23rd overall Precious: 20th overall

Never thought about this before, Talk about a group of underdogs.

Just game playing by the sixers
