I'm curious to see how the Knicks play on the road is hostile philly after this:

"We're good," Embiid said. "We're going to win this series.

"We are going to win this. We know what we got to fix. We did a better job today, so we are going to fix it.

"We are the better team. We are going to keep fighting."

Our guys should be prepared. This is a group of tough minded individuals. And besides, three of our core guys are very familiar with Philly from their college days and won.

didnt even realize that...Villanova is in PA :nod:

Nick Nurse and entire 76ers team to be wearing vagina hats on Thursday, not in support of women's rights, but to signal what they are.

:lol:
Being away from the play-offs for several years IMO made me more objective and I say this without the homer lense...What a bunch of whining babies
Embiid and the sixers are...My question is who is more of a baby Embiid or Nurse? because you can see the whining energy on some of their players faces Buzz...

Rinse and repeat. Brunson should not be bringing the ball up... either Hart or DDV... to conserve JB's energy...



This. This. This.

Let Brother Hartenstein facilitate once they commit to doubling. Move the ball, shift the defense.

It's not like Philly is doing anything that can't be countered, Jalen just needs to not make it easy for them.

He definitely made it easy for them by forcing shot after shot...


Yeah I don't think it's a bad thing for him to be aggressive but shooting over two guys 6'7 and up isn't it. Move the ball, keep them honest and the shot opps will come

I agree but I think he crossed that fine-line...as a matter of fact I thought to myself- I like that he kept playing his game-
it was just TOO MANY bad shots.

I was shocked how cheap the tickets are in Philly. Somehow there’s still seats available on Ticketmaster and they don’t even look like resales. I’d totally go if I didn’t have a 3 week old at home.
