I just wanted to start a new thread for tonight's game.
So super pumped up to knock Philly out!!!
Oubre has an Illness,and Embid has migranes...both missed today's morning shoot around.
Bogie is out
Mitch-Q
Brunson-Probable
Man we need to finish this at the GAHHHHDEN tonight and get some time to heal up....

I have stayed away from NBA radio this morning, podcast and this tread.
The end of that game made me sick..
I didn't want to hear the "same old Knicks" bullshit..
I think this is the most mentally tough team we have put on the court in probably 30 years if there is a team to recover and win a game 6 it's this one.
I listened as usual to Scal and Frank Isola this AM. I figure they'd give good sober analysis of what happened and they did. Scalabrine was all over Thibs mistake having Mitch in for the 4 point play. Keep in mind both of them are Thibs stans so it gave their critique more validity. Both still are pretty confident the Knicks will win out. I was surprised that Frank especially was waxing poetic about Embiid. liked his effort down the stretch. He has been killing him non stop for a month. Let's be honest, if Maxey doesn't pull an absolute circus trick down the stretch last night everyone is killing Embiid as a no show. He was awful.
Yeah I listen every morning I couldn't bare to listen to them rehashing the whole thing.
Sometimes a team needs this kinda of loss to realize it's possible and not let it happen again.
They came up with a clever pathetic little scheme. They're distributing 2,000 free tickets to "first responders and healthcare workers ". Knicks fans will get there, there was never gonna be as many as Sunday any way. Weekday 9pm tip as opposed to Sunday at 1pm.
Just comical and pathetic that a city prides itself as a diehard sports town has to stoop to Atlanta/Charlotte type stunts to keep the opposing fan base out.
South Jersey is basically Philly
Rubin is a complete scumbag.

Nope if you go on ticketmaster, turn off resale tickets it shows you tickets still for sale by team
I hope you are right man, i wish i had that confidence
i still dont know why Thibs didnt challenge
It was very obvious. I have no idea how the officials missed that. Maybe they didn't and just didn't care

You can only challenge the foul on that which he absolutely should've done
Hart was in bounds as well. These 2 minute reports are a complete waste of time.

I thought you can challenge anything that is apart of the play as long as something is called..
For example they called a foul on Hartenstein in the first and Knicks traveled and the kverturned it but gave the foul to Hart

From the NBA:
"d. Any called foul, violation, or other decision by the game officials not listed in Section I-c above, or any non-call, is not a challengeable event. For clarity, instant replay review of the following events, among others, may not be triggered by a Challenge: (1) a called personal foul charged to the opposing team, (2) continuation—e.g., whether a defensive foul occurred prior to the offensive player beginning his shooting motion, (3) a Technical Foul or Flagrant Foul, and (4) violations such as traveling, carrying, double dribble, or an offensive or defensive three- seconds. As set forth in Section II-b(3) below, any aspect related to continuation constitutes a reviewable matter when a called foul is properly challenged, but continuation is not by itself an independent challengeable event."
Of course he did, it’s just the Knicks luck
Sigh.
There is that part of me that is telling the kther side shut up, Hart and Brunson got this, they are not going to just go down without a fight...
They really need a big time stsrt tomorrow
extension?

**42%** of tickets are from New York and New Jersey.
**40%** are from Pennsylvania and Delaware
Brunson/Booker/OG/Randle/Hartenstein
McBride/DDV/Hart/Precious
You'd have to surgically remove the smile from my face.
Can’t see the Suns accepting that. I have to think Randle goes the other way.

If they can keep Mcbride out of any star trade i will be happy, i would give every draft pick i can to keep Mcbride out of the deal

I don’t think they trade McBride. Follow the actions, they’ve refused to use him as a throw in to a deal.
My number 1 target outside of Giannis would be AD though. But let’s discuss that in June. I’ll probably do a Q&A thread when the season is over if people want

That would be awesome...
I exoect them to add a costar to Brunson this offseason and finally set their roster for the next 4 to 5 years with Brunson extended, OG signed, DDV signed, Hart signed, Mcbride signed, Hartenstein hopefully resigned..
Lebron goes back to Cleveland and the Lakers just ask for Mitch Bogie and picks?
Maybe Booker has another idea though.

The problem is it would kill Thibs to give 9 guys sufficient minutes in the playoffs
Maybe Booker has another idea though.
Yeah i dont think Booker is happening..
I think its Mitchell or Bridges

Ishiba called Booker the face of the franchise and someone who's going to be there for 10 more years.

It’s very rare for a team to trade a star without them forcing their way out. Maybe Ishiba has talked to Booker about it. But the path for this to happen was always for Devin to demand to be traded to NY.
Jalen Brunson did not play well in the OT and had a bad turnover, i expect him to come out like the Brunson we know and love..
Divencenzo has played really poorly, i expect him to come out in a big game and play his best game of the series..
Mitch had a stupid foul at the end of the game, i expect him to come out and play his crazy self on the glass and defensively..
Mcbride had a miscue not fouling, i expect him to come out focused and play as hard as he can..
This team usually bounces back, tonight i expect a bounce back, focused team..
I am pacing around the house. They better close this fuckin thing out tonight I don't have it in me to wait until Sunday for a game 7.
Also thank you for all the Knicks fans invading Philly and making them buy up there own tickets. I won't be buying anything from fanatics again.
#LFGK
djm, we'll win tonight. BELIEVE!
Only saving grace is Embid is running on empty and if he isn't near 100% we can win
why the fuck is this game so late
I've taken 2 disco naps and we are still 1 hrs from tip....
