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!

That said, this series was never going to be a sweep. Need to take one in Philly. Stand by Knicks in 6.
Finally.... Embiid is 285 pounds of 💩💩💩

Their perimeter defense wasn't good and it was raining threes. Sure the officiating was bad and Embiid shoulda been tossed, but the Knicks only played 36 minutes.

Agreed.

Tom Thibodeau on the flagrant foul called on Joel Embiid:
"Which one? The one they called, or the one they didn't call? Just want to make sure we have clarity on that

Tom Thibodeau on the calls throughout the game:
"I'll look at it again, and I'll send my clips in like I do every game, and they'll say, 'marginal contact', and then we'll have marginal contact on Embiid and he'll be at the. line 21 times."
Fuck the 6ers
Sad that NBA players have to accept that certain games are practically rigged. It’s

He could have played the game but he didn’t. Why the sixers did clearly impacted this game. Thibs missed the boat here. Too bad.
I think he did play the game with his comments.
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.
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.
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.
Sounds to me the Knicks are pissed

What the fuck are you talking about?
Nothing to say JAN IN DC? Typical pussy.
You're being incredibly negative and I don't agree with your takes. Therefore, I thought you were trolling the thread. But obviously I overlooked your contributions. You have my apologies.
He kicked Hartenstein and Mitch in the nuts, injured Mitches ankle, hip checked OG, smacked Hartenstein in the face..
I mean its ridiculous, protect your players NBA
He absolutely should have been tossed. The bar I was at was using the TNT feed for some God forsaken reason, what were the MSG people saying?
Him and his POS coach can go to hell
Him and his POS coach can go to hell
Yeah as Mitch was going up for a dunk he grabbed both legs ton"protect" himself. What a piece of shit. He may need a bodyguard for game 5. I hope he's ready. You think the fuck Tre Young chants and Reggie Miller stuff were bad?

Reading a lot of comments in the postgame all Philly did with their antics wa fire up this Knicks team even more, i know its the playoffs and you shouldnt need extra motivation..
But Philly is not going to shoot like they did again and now they got a pissed off Knicks team
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.
They would actually trade him to the Knicks??

But more importantly their number 1 move would be Booker. Most likely move is Mikal
They would actually trade him to the Knicks??
The Knicks seem to believe so
Sign Anthony Bonner to a ten day contract and have him punch Embiid in the throat. Problem solved. Sure, he’s like 60 years old, but I guarantee you that dude is still scary as hell
Well, let's officially put that fucking shit to bed. Fuck Embiid and fuck Philly fans who defend his punk ass. This is the shit you get away with these days because there are no Anthony Mason's out there to beat your ass.
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..
Sixers shot the lights out in the 3rd, shot 14 more free throws and had to throw a temper tantrum to beat the Knicks while playing dirty and the Knicks were still a run away
And if you dont know what that is... yeah, its that bad.
Good to see Brunson come alive. Achiuwa should get more time.
Thanks for this. All Knick fans should definitely be rooting for a Suns collapse. I like Mikal but I'm not sure he provides enough self creation to really get this team to the Celtics' level.
Would love any trade deadline info you wouldn't mind sharing.
If i am the Knicks i am sending every sirty play to the league and i am putting it alongside video of plays Draymond got suspended for and asking ehats the difference
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).
There's a complete double standard. The refs didn't want to end the game on that play. If Hartenstein did that to Embiid he'd be gone before they went to the monitor.
DDV
Brunson
Bogie (I think?)
Yeah, I was annoyed by that too

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
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

That was such an outrageously dirty and dangerous play. Imagine the outrage if someone did that to Embiid and he was injured on the play?
