As of right now, with the refs enabling him, he's doing the Knicks like they're p*$$y.

He has to be chopped back down to earth.

Apparently grabbing a player’s leg when he’s up on the air is only a Flagrant 1. We can afford a couple of them. Maybe one from Sims and one from Precious?

Anunoby / Hart
Hart / Achiuwa
Donte / Bogdanovic
Brunson / Donte
Deuce / Burks

Sims for 2-3 hard fouls in the start of the 2nd and the end of the 3rd

Need a signature Brunson playoff game here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really interested to see what he does in game4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Sixers are in a groove like in the 3rd quarter, Brunson and Hartenstein have no business there defending the pick n roll... it should be Deuce and Mitch or Achiuwa with Anunoby ready to switch or help to whomever gets the ball in his hands

This game if we win it will be only on the defensive end of the floor... unless Thibs wakes up in the Sunday morning as a Tyron Lue or Steve Kerr reincarnation and plays a froncourt of Anunoby and Josh Hart, run relentlessly up&down the floor with Brunson at 2

If the league doesnt suspend Dirtbiid for his behavior in Game 3 - it tells me that the league wants Philly to advance and
from their POV its not our time yet...

I love Divo and what he brings but we need to see more McBride out there. McBride is the key to slowing down Maxey.

Embiid is not gonna be suspended. NBA will not do anything. We would've heard by now

you guys are so short sighted.


there wont be any retaliation


Embiid is going no where. the first time we see him next year we are sending a bench guy to do it. thats exactly when the retaliation will happen

bc so many ppl are saying we have to respond to Embiid's dirty plays with our own dirty play. I highly highly doubt it will happen.

cause thibs wont allow it to happen. he wont let the team risk embarrassment, or fines or suspensions.



the hit, the retaliation will happen next year, and it will come off the bench.

I see...
For me its two thoughts... #1...it should happen since it looks like the league wont keep their "MVP" on a leash. But at
the same time if we executed it- it would hurt us so it makes no sense for it to happen...

The bottom-line is based on the fact that they allowed Dirtbiid to do what he wants- get as comfortable as he wants- which
lead to a 50 point game. The league can continue the trend and that doesnt mean that they allow Dirtbiid to play dirty and reckless-
they can simple use the whistle to stop the Knicks from playing defense. Not to mention, if MItch is out-the damage
has already been done.

SO does it really matter which Knick fan wants us to retaliate and make our hole deeper-when our season COULD already be over
thanks to the leagues doing?

I can see why if you think the season is over with mitch being hurt that the knicks SHOULD retaliate.



that's so weak. soft. mentally.

I said "could" already be over...
DO we really know after what we watched the league allow Dirtbiid to do? and from a basketball standpoint- you think we win games 1 and 2 without Mitch?

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/joel-embiid-vs-mitchell-robinson

Keep in mind from a production stand point- especially in this era- Dirtbiid can drop 70...^^^^look at his history of performance against Mitch...

Dirtbiid purposely wanted Mitch out of the series...

Yeah doesn't sound like a hit was ordered.

I wouldn't rule out some hard fouls based on what Thibs said.
