Don't know about that.

4th quarter he dissapaered in the last 3 games of the series when we needed him the most. Not gonna cut it.


If the season ended last game, he deserved to get roasted. But he absolutely delivered tonight limping around like crazy. I gotta give the big fella his props tonight & for fighting through some real sh*t all series.

Overall fair play, but that grab of the arm by Brunson was about as dirty as it gets.

(short of trying to injure someone)

How awesome is Jalen Brunson though? I mean... It's hard to dislike him. He's an amazing talent. We knew Josh Hart was a jerk off, but he's a Nova guy and I like him. DiVicenzo I've wanted to be a Sixer since he came into the league. Hats off to the Knicks. I hope they can beat the Celtics if they get the opportunity.

**** that I hate that flopping piece of ****. He make Embiid look good. Dude looks like he's shot by a gun every time he's hit with a foul.

Puncheable face as well.

I’m honestly relieved the be done with Brunson as an opponent. Love him as a player & hat tip for all the tough shots he hit…but that foul baiting is tough to stomach. Now I can go back to overlooking it.

There are very few things more fitting in life than Tobias going out with 0 points in 29 minutes.

Brunson stopping short to get a defender on his back then snapping his head back is debatably more dirty than anything embiid did this series.

With that being said he made amazing plays and shots all series. They deserved the win with that and outhustling us for rebounds consistently.

Bye Tobi won't miss you
Bye Reed won't miss you.

Bring me Siakam, Durant or Lebron.

You're mad..I get it. I'm mad too. But the heart, energy, attitude that a lot of these Knicks role players play with is exactly what you need to surround Maxey and Embiid with.

I just tell myself that we didn't really have a realistic shot against the Pacers. We're relying on Buddy Hield to bail us out of a 20 point deficit in the first quarter. I mean, we're just not a serious team. This is the offseason to figure it out.

That sucked, but there are teams that are easy to root for left in this tournament, and some that are easy to hate.

#1, rooting for the Pacers and Obi Toppin.
#2, SGA and Holmgren with the Thunder.

#1, hating the Celtics
#2, the Timberwolves

The Knicks fall somewhere in between. It's cool that they have so many college teammates playing together.

Fair point. Indy was a bad matchup for us because of their pace to begin with. They’d run this version of Embiid into the ground.

I'm rooting for the Knicks. Don't think that have a prayer against Boston, but I'll be cheering for them.

I've been wanting Josh Hart for years. He keeps getting traded for relatively late first round picks. The Knicks have him and Divincenzo under contract for 35 million combined. That's called smart management acquiring undervalued players fairly cheaply. Leon Rose deserves credit. Morey has tons of work to do my fear is he chases a star and we have a big three and a supporting cast even worse then this bunch.

Especially when he head butts a Sixer by doing so. The arm-grabbing flop was fine-worthy.

Why don't you like the Wolves?

I want Ant to destroy Joker.

I might still root for New York, Pacers (lol), Thunder, Mavs, and Wolves.

If Hart and Stein became Sixers they’d turn back into the absolute pumpkins they actually are, let’s be real.

Better team won. But man, Scotty Foster is a proven force against Philadelphia.
