I want to see the Knicks rage from 3 this game to blow this thing open

[drekwins]

Embiid is so big and strong I don't think our guys could injure him much if they tried lol. He'd have to do another self alley oop.

As long as they don't have another 3rd quarter like shooting spree we have a good chance to win the game.

You don't have to injure. A hard clothesline foul off the double that gets head/face sends him to the ground writhing and message sent. The Oakley Special.

I think something just has to be done to let him know there's consequences. If the NBA won't do it, we will. I'm not saying anything over the top but it def needs to be enough where it's in the back of his mind. Sticking a foot out when he shoots really might be a good idea. It has to send a message of "if you want to go eye for eye, we will. Don't play dirty."

A dirty play escalates things further. The hard foul gets in their head the same way. Everyone scrums a bit and you're at an understanding.

that's just nuts.

my dude has really stepped up.

It must be on 10 attempts or more. Ain’t no way the 5th best shooter is shooting 30 percent.

why not 20 minimum? it is a bit misleading when Luka's taken twice as many shots.

but fuq it! he's still stepped it up.

I meant 10 makes. It is confusing. Josh’s percentage is outstanding either way .

Mitch a warrior and will give the team a boost if he plays

Probably comes back tied but so what, a good series then, albeit one that Embiid has made dirty

I don’t advocate fighting or injury, but if Embiid does it again you have to fight him. Someone has to hit him hard

Anunoby
Bogdanovic
Di Vincenzo
McBride / Hart / Burks
Brunson

The death lineup... all three point threats

Embiid averages 3 points per possession if that lineup is ever on the floor against him, zero rim protection, and multiple small guys that the Sixers can target in switches on either Embiid or Maxey.

they have only one player that can run the floor, we could have 4 in that scenario

They wouldn't need to run the floor, they'd be scoring a lot against that lineup. That lineup hasn't played a single minute together and teams generally don't run small lineups against the Sixers or Nuggets because both those guys will punish it.

My worry is that three a relief after it's over. "Okay, that was it? I'm fine and dont have to worry about that anymore". It's too easy. I'm not even saying to do something dirty. But, make him think that we might. Let it linger in his mind.

oh really now...Lets see what that means...

I woke up this morning thinking the same thing. Play faster paced and don't be afraid to let it fly from 3. Divo, JHart, Brunson, McBride, Bogs, OG all can get hot from 3. Hope we blow these fools out.

Can we just get a clean game from the refs

[nedleeds]

I advocate for fighting. Mostly because the **** game is on video, from 100 angles, in HD. He has both arms around Mitches ankle. He was out to injure, he might not think he was doing it consciously but it's just in his game. *And* he isn't suspended. So if the league won't do anything then it's on the league.

I send Jericho Sims in like mother **** Chong Li and just maul Embiid and fall on him.
