Tip of the cap to Brunson and the Knicks. Brunson in back to back road games played like a top 5 player in the league. And he did it mostly without the 3 ball. Knicks are just the tougher team. That can be seen in the offensive rebounds being the story again.

Congrats to all the Knicks guys. Very impressed with the toughness they’ve displayed in this series.

I’ll bitch about the Sixers tomorrow.

Their role players just haven’t shown up
Maxey has to wear some of this for the Philly games. If he wants to be the 2 on a team with expectations I need better play.

Tobias Harris has been an up and down playoff performer. This year in 5 games (counting play in)it’s arguably been his worst.

Philly is running no offense. Just give the ball to Embiid and watch him gets doubled. No cuts or anything
Reverted to the Doc Rivers clogged toilet offense.

Knicks played tough.

Key point was in the 3rd quarter when the Sixers tried to pull away but Divincienzo and Brunson hit back to back to back threes to keep it close, resulting in Nick Nurse playing Embiid to start the 4th.

Sixers didn't make a basket in the final 7 minutes.

Why not use Embiid and Reed together to help with the rebounding problem?

This was probably Embiid's last and best chance to advance further in the playoffs with the Sixers. They can't beat Boston and now the Knicks. And the Knicks don't even have Randal ‍

No fix to even it up?

I kid...I kid. Philly no doubt not without fault but as you mention NY deserves a ton of credit.
