Did you know the Thunder coach has UConn roots?

I did!

I believe he was a team manager

Yup for 4 years under Calhoun. I look forward to the rest of the league getting to hear more from him. I’m not sure he has ever been in a room where he wasn’t the smartest there.

Maybe he was secretly running things

The problem with the Knicks is that they literally have more Philly guys than Philly right now.

Donte Divincenzo, Josh Hart, Jalen Bruson = tougher than our core guys.

It's the Nova curse from trading Mikal Bridges on draft night after having him on television, when his mom worked for the team and they were die hards.

Fuck Villanova and every queer associated with that fucking hole.

The league office and I are good now in them stealing Game 2 from the Sixers. Embiid should have received his second flagrant last night resulting in ejection. The first foul on the Nazi should have been deemed flagrant 1. @The Q is wrong on the only called flagrant. That’s a flagrant one, not a flagrant two. It still should have been ejection though because the one on the Nazi should have been his first flagrant.

That being said…Embiid made the most of him not getting ejected. That was the best playoff performance of his career and he turned that in after he says in the media 3 times - we are the better team and we’re gonna win this series.

Thought it was a meh Maxey game and then I look at the stats and he had 25/7/4 with only one turnover. That’s pretty solid for an off game.

As I anticipated, Sixers “others” much better at home. Cam Payne should have essentially ended any more Hield minutes in this series. Hield actually hasn’t been too bad defensively in his minutes but he can’t get shots up and when he does he can’t make em right now. His lack of having any playoff experience has been impactful.

Brunson was exceptional last night. Knicks shot 43% from 3 and they still lost by double digits. As I said when this series started there’s an exploitable matchup at head coach. You can see watching play adjustments that Nurse has made. Thibs has been same same. In fairness to him, he was the coach that was up 2-0. Up 2-0 maybe it isn’t time to adapt.

How is Thibs crying though when Brunson was allowed to grift and went to the line 12 times?


Sixers in 6.

If Joel Embiid has Bells Palsy isn’t the most fucking Sixers story I don’t know what is. This dude’s career has been the ten plagues of Egypt. Locusts gonna start coming out of his ass or some shit.

That's why they had to make sure the Knicks won two at home.

Who is "they" who is in charge of this?

How did "they" get in touch with Maxey to make sure his shot was blocked late?

But nice W.

Thanks to th league proving these results aren’t legitimate

Not tossing embiid was a traveshamockery

Flip the players and it’s an easy ejection

I think you are too focused on the team and not the team that was down 2-0. That’s the kind of nba conspiracy theory that rings true.

Embiid was clearly trying to protect himself.

You're too focused on the Kurt Angle ankle lock that Embiid was applying....

 

[Wamu]

How did Embiid play 41 minutes and only grab eight rebounds? What a slacker!

 

[Wamu]

If this has already been mentioned my bad.

@fightinfunbags

Have you heard about this? Ran across this article.

Sixers' Joel Embiid says he's being treated for bell's palsy

 

[Wamu]

Only players to score 50 against the Knicks in the playoffs.

Sam Jones, His Airness & Embiid.

and george santos- my bad, I just couldn't help it!
