NFT: KNICKS V SIXERS GAME 3

SicilianGMEN : 4/25/2024 10:11 am
LETS GET IT! 7:30 Tip Time.....Knicks game on the big 85" tv in my theatre room and Draft on the 50" tv in the bar area....Lets go!

Rumor has it Mitch may miss the game tonight (He's listed as Q with Ankle load management)

Sixers are 5.5 point favorites, refs aren't gonna do us no favors....

Put the Sixers in the trunk and go up 3-0!
Ankle load management?  
Jim in Fairfax : 4/25/2024 10:14 am : link
After 3 days off and only playing 17 minutes Monday? That doesn’t sound good.
If Mitch misses the game, that's a huge blow to the Knicks.  
81_Great_Dane : 4/25/2024 10:17 am : link
Hartenstein can't play 48 minutes; here's no way Sims should see the floor against Embiid except in dire emergency; and Achiuwa is a crummy option at center.
Hopefully we keep this one close  
bceagle05 : 4/25/2024 10:35 am : link
and the Sixers and their volatile fans get tight in the fourth quarter.
Just a great sports

Need to figure out how to get Brunson going and how to slow down Maxey. He's killed us this series.
Brunson is due for a 40 burger

This will be a tough game to get  
nygiants16 : 4/25/2024 11:18 am : link
i expect the Sixers to come out and try and throw a haymaker early and try to send a message
Eh, supposedly Maxey was questionable for G2  
Greg from LI : 4/25/2024 11:26 am : link
Think this may just be similar gamesmanship from the Knicks
Probably game playing on the Knicks part  
larryflower37 : 4/25/2024 11:54 am : link
But Mitch has been playing alot off a bad ankle
Too bad you can't bet on props  
Mike from SI : 4/25/2024 11:58 am : link
like "bullshit calls for the home team." Although I am going to look into if one can bet total fouls called lol.
Achiuwa‘s mobility with Embid’s gimpyness may work in Knicks favor  
steve in ky : 4/25/2024 12:22 pm : link
Hopefully Mitchell plays but if not I’m using Achiuwa to wear out Embid, just make him continually move

Well I'm sure you can bet the over/under on Embiid's FT's. Definitely bet the over on that one.
I had a feeling we'd pay a price for Mitch playing 32 minutes Saturday  
Stu11 : 4/25/2024 12:28 pm : link
listen I don't blame Thibs one iota. His D and offensive rebounding was a huge factor in that win. In the playoffs you can't worry about 2 games down the road. You do the best to win the one in front of you and worry about the next one when it happens. He hadn't played anything close to 30 minutes since December and you knew his body would pay for it.
I imagine Mitch's floor time will be limited  
Greg from LI : 4/25/2024 12:33 pm : link
But I can't believe they'll sit him entirely unless he's really in bad shape.

Shouldn't be too bad considering he had surgery in December. But, getting it back to great condition will take time. Game 1 was his first time playing 30+ min since December so I wouldn't be surprised if they sit him out of caution.
Go get em Knicks

Yup, time for Brunson to break out. Pretty remarkable we pulled of games 1 and 2 with him cold in hindsight. Let’s bury these whiny fucks
This will be a very eye opening game if the Knicks pull this off.  
robbieballs2003 : 4/25/2024 1:12 pm : link
With the way the Sixers have bitched publicly, I've seen this way too much before. The refs have way too much control over games. I expect this game to be the Knicks vs. the Sixers and refs.

As far as Mitch goes, if he misses it then it is only 1 game. I'd rather him as healthy as possible for the rest of the series than just tonight. If he's able to go then great. Precious is probably begging to play and, honestly, I love what he brings. He'd keep our huge rebounding advantage going while still being able to provide some offense.

Couldn't find anything like that, so just bet the over lol. More Free Throws = more points.
I would hope the Knicks go small  
larryflower37 : 4/25/2024 1:23 pm : link
An spread out the Sixers.
Embid has decided rebounding and defense are not important. If you spread them out it's 5-4 and have everyone continue to crash the boards hard.
He is going to get his in the first half but keep him moving and push pace.
Brunson will have to have a big game  
nygiants16 : 4/25/2024 1:39 pm : link
i think to win tonight, got to withstand the first punch and then anything can happen..

Eventually Maxey or Embiid will have a bad game, they have been playing fantastic the first 2 games..

I just can't see Embiid holding up for the 4-5 more games they would need to win. Maxey is a beast I think he can continue to thrive.
Really hope they start bring Embiid up  
Jan in DC : 4/25/2024 1:47 pm : link
in screen actions on offense. He needs to prove that he has the stamina and mobility to play on both ends of the floor. Brunson needs to bring it tonight, but we've been playing well lately.

They have been trying but what Phikky does is use Hart's man to switch with Embiid so he doesnt have to move, thats why Hart has been so open
I love how Hart keeps wagging his finger at the Philly bench

which is why Hart should maybe sit once in a while. Yes he's made them pay but they haven't been able to get Brunson going and the offense has really bogged down at times. If things start clicking and Embiid is a statue on defense, we can blow them out.

Reducing minutes in relation to how the game is going is one thing. Sitting entirely is another.
I honestly thought Precious was gonna have to play tonight anyway  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 4/25/2024 2:24 pm : link
because I expect the officials to give the Sixers an endless parade to the free throw line.

I think this game comes down to the role players because the Knicks depth has been exceptional and the Sixers haven’t done jackshit outside of a few quarters from Kyle Lowry. Embiid (in his current form) and Maxey can’t be expected to play better than they have so far. The Sixers need their other players to step up.

The Knicks could really use Jalen Brunson getting back to himself in order to take the pressure off of everyone else.

When Mitch isn’t able to move well he’s not a useful player. You can tell which Mitch you’re almost getting immediately. Thibs gets to see him practice so I’ll trust his judgement.

I’m ok not having game 2 Mitch play today if it helps us get game 1 Mitch back later in the series.

at least one game this series. For all the officiating talk, they are very lucky to even have the first 2 games with the way they have played as a team. They have had no perimeter D for 3 games. For that matter, they haven't had very good interior D either. A lot of ole D on the wings. And no offensive consistency or cohesion for a full game.

I mean they are up 2-1 so its hard to complain..

Brunson has not played well, looks like he got it going tonight..

I mean Maxey is a damn good player and Embiid is an MVP..

they have had to play a perfect game to beat them, they shot the loghts out and have shot 10 more free throws...

I don’t. He made a couple of vague comments that the refs won’t even see/hear. A lot of the playoffs is played in the media and the sixers went all out after game two. And it worked for them. Thibs limped out of that post game presser.

I don’t love it. And I wish the coach/players would just STFU. But many people are small, weak minded individuals looking to place blame. And that’s Philly. This is no time to take the high road. Throw it in the refs faces. Publicly. And blatantly. Even the game.
Woj tweeted on Embiid

"ESPN Sources: Sixers star Joel Embiid has been treated for a mild case of Bell’s Palsey for the past week. The condition began during the play-in victory over Miami but he has wanted to keep it private to avoid distractions for his team"

One side effect must be randomly falling over. Much more relentless flopping than usual. Expect it again next game.

Mitchell Robinson left the arena tonight in a walking boot, per SNY’s @amirnorman. Robinson missed the second half of NYK’s Game 3 loss to PHI due to a left ankle sprain.

and media - they are the most professional bunch of players out there. No complaining. No blaming. No pissing and moaning. Which is respectful.

They always say “the squeaky wheel gets the grease” and there are no truer words. And this game proved it. But the Knicks are the utmost professionals. I really hope it’s rewarded. They deserve it. And Philly are a bunch of skanks.

Larry in Pencilvania : 4/25/2024 11:21 pm : link
Donte DiVincenzo called Joel Embiid’s Flagrant 1 on Mitchell Robinson a ‘dirty’ play. Isaiah Hartenstein said it ‘wasn’t a basketball play.’ Josh Hart said it was a reckless play and Knicks were fortunate that Robinson avoided a severe ankle injury.

Sounds to me the Knicks are pissed

For that Mitch play. That was as clear of a flagrant 2 as you could get. No play on the ball whatsoever. A clear intent to injure and he was successful.

The third quarter defense was embarrassing. OG is on the floor complaining about a foul call instead of getting back on defense. Guys are helping off of people who just made a couple of shots in a row. Just dumb shit.

Embiid scored a thousand points, but they lost the game because of scrubs like Cam Payne, Oubre, and Lowry.

Wasted a good game by Brunson with pathetic defense.

Fuck Embiid and Lowry. Their bullshit at the beginning of the game was ridiculous.

Its absolutely ridoculous and the league wont do shit because that POS coach and organkzation filed a grievance against the NBA..

now to the officiating its an absolute joke that all it takes is for a coach to complain in the media and the next game they get every whistle under the sun..Embiid shot 23 free throws last night lol i meam come on..

As if there aren't enough reasons to love this guy, this would be a pretty massive development for the Knicks. He should be eligible for the Supermax when he hits unrestricted free agency, so taking the max agreement now I believe should save the Knicks a ton of money and allow them to operate under the second apron for longer. With OG, iHart signings coming up we could lock in almost our entire core for a solid 3-4 years this summer.

Only lingering question is Randle who is still underpaid, changed agents and technically could be going into a contract year next year assuming he declines the player option (he should).

They’re going to try to trade him. Was told they don’t feel like they need to add a superstar to win a title and will only do it if it’s Booker or Giannis. They think they can win a title adding a guy like Mikal and I tend to agree with them

Only lingering question is Randle who is still underpaid, changed agents and technically could be going into a contract year next year assuming he declines the player option (he should).



They’re going to try to trade him. Was told they don’t feel like they need to add a superstar to win a title and will only do it if it’s Booker or Giannis. They think they can win a title adding a guy like Mikal and I tend to agree with them


They're going to try to trade Randle? I don't hate it. I think his value is actually close to his peak right now since there's a lot of "oh man what if Randle was back" and not a lot of "oh great Randle forgot to play defense again" and "oh Randle isn't running back on D to argue with the refs again".

I like Julius but I'm not tied to Julius. OG can certainly man the 4, there simply aren't many (any?) bruising PFs these days, and if you add either Booker or Bridges all of a sudden you have an absolute lights out shooting starting 5.

Was messing around in the Cap Machine a few days ago and Randle and Bogie for Booker is an exact dollar for dollar match. Both 49.3M

Hope we beat them on Sunday and get 48 minutes of the Garden crowd chanting “Fuck Embiid” in a close out game. Embiid went out there with an intent to injure players last night and there were no repercussions. I think I buy the theory that whatever medication he’s taking for the knee is messing with his brain. He’s unhinged.
I'm still pissed off morning after like a lot of you guys  
mfsd : 4/26/2024 10:20 am : link
but the Sixers bullshit and the refs giving them a pass is still secondary to them somehow shooting 9-12 from 3 in the 3rd quarter.

Sometimes a team just gets stupid hot - look at what the Heat did in Boston in game 2

If the Sixer go even 6-12, which is a great quarter of shooting, the Knicks still have every chance to pull that one out last night. And that's with nobody not named Brunson having a big offensive night for the Knicks (OG put in a worthy effort).

Unless of course the refs kicking it into the fairway for Philly to ensure the series goes longer is real, which given the NBA may well be true

Depends which Bridges you get. Are you getting the 26 PPG efficient two way monster to end last season or the 19.6 PPG 43% from the field guy this year.

Everything around the Nets was so toxic this year you don't want to put too much weight into the latter. Maybe a good buy low opportunity, although the Nets have turned down some pretty serious offers to date.

I dont even think you need 26 ppg..effecient shooting absolutely..

If he gives you 20 a game on effecient from 3 and stellar defense like in Ohoenix, thats all you need..

Think about the matchup with Boston, Bridges on Brown, OG on tatum and the 3 point shooting can match them as well

Agreed, from what I was told it seems like the Knicks agree.

They feel if they can get 80% of Randles scoring and a 20% increase in defense from Randle they can win a title. I think Bridges gives that as a floor.

Only issue that the Nets won't trade Bridges to the Knicks unless they want to do the player a favor.

From what I hear, there is a good chance Booker and Durant ask out of Phoenix if they lose again. The Knicks I'd imagine would be in on both. Also, the Giannis/Dame/Bucks situation bears watching.

I think the bucks will trade Dame to Miami in the offseason if they get knocked out early, try to get a little more doeth around Giannis..

I could see Booker and Durant asking out..

The question with Bridges is how much does he rrally want to play with his friends and from a Nets perspective its not like they are trading a suoerstar to the Knicks
I kill Randle more than  
Enzo : 4/26/2024 11:26 am : link
most here but there are things he brings to the table that are hard to replicate. He can create his own shot in the midst of a bad possession, he's an above average passer for his position, and he gobbles up rebounds (although many are uncontested, lol). We may be able to replace him with a better pure shooter, but there's value in a guy who can go iso and get buckets. That all said - his next contract terrifies me.

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.

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.
As I said...  
Pete44 : 4/26/2024 12:31 pm : link
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.

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.

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.

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.

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


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.
This is unbelievable

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.

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

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.
