Game 6: Sixers (2-3) vs. Knicks (3-2) | Thu May 2 9:00 PM (EST) TV: TNT

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.

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

Yep, I will support the Knicks now. I think they are the only team remaining that Boston need to fear.

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.

The Knicks are gonna absolutely destroy the Pacers. We would too tbh

I don't think so. It'll be a good series probably. Pacers are healthy and have the guys to run with the Knicks. Thibodeau just grinded the Knicks into a pulp to survive this series. I don't anticipate Hart and DiVincenzo to keep up this level of play. I predict 7 game series.

It will be a good series but the knick guards will feast. New York will likely dictate the pace. Knicks in 7. Best player in the series also is clearly Brunson.

[Negrodamus]

I'll say this much, I don't feel as bad about this loss as I did last year when the lame effort was the reason for the exit.

[Snotbubbles]

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.

Forgot about Durant. I'm torn on Siakim, he's better than Tobias, but I'm not sure he moves the needle for Philly. Durant or Lebron might, but then your window is super small.

Also they need a viable backup big. Embiid misses too many games and you can't have a guy go -15 in 4 minutes of game time in the playoffs when Embiid sits.

Sucks but at least all of the games were fun to watch. All eyez on Morey now

[Arsenal]

Pacers have no chance against Knicks. You guys seem confused. We would have handled them also.

Knicks and Sixers were by far the best two teams aside from Boston in the East.

Tough loss but a pretty wild series. I have zero interest in the rest of the playoffs, so the off season starts tonight.

They were clearly looking to stop Maxey and succeeded for the most part. Embiid was good, but too many sloppy possessions late trying to grift fouls. Batum is a guy I'd love to see them bring back if possible. Tobias had about as fitting a final game as is imaginable - 0 points and passing up a layup in crunch time.

I've been saying all week that I had this feeling that Buddy Hield was going to impact a game, and boy did he ever. Not sure why Nick didn't go back to him sooner in the second half.

Brunson is a beast, but the major problem is the same as it's been all series - 3 pointers and second chance points. Brunson hitting tough 2's doesn't create runs, but all the kick out 3's and offensive rebounds were killers.

Proud of the way they fought, nothing to be ashamed of losing this kind of series.

At least we have the flexibility to get rid of the trash, that's a luxury we haven't had in the past.

Window is small anyway with embiids injuries. I give him 2 likely prime years left. 3 if we're lucky.

Draft bronny if it gets you lebron.

Or trade all the picks for Durant.

Or sign siakam. He's still a huge upgrade over Tobi.

Whoever signed Tobias to that contract deserves a firing squad. Single handedly crippled the team for half a decade of Embiid’s prime.

The Sixers should be looking to add several good players and not start chase. 3 stars and a bunch of trash won't get it done.

Haliburton is at 50%/60% and they had a +2 net rtg against the Bucks without Giannis and without Dame for 2 games.

The Knicks are gonna out rebound them to hell too. And the defense is also gonna eat part of their offense

[FlyingArrow]

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.

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.

Who knows - maybe it's just because Anthony Edwards is a decent actor. After he played the heel in that Adam Sandler movie, that's how I think of him. Gotta have somebody to root against.

[Jhawk03]

Scott Foster the series extender is working hard to erase the ext...

People saying this earlier seemed to forget he sent the Suns home game 4 last Sunday.

[76ciology]

Paul Reed’s $7.7 million contract is now non-guaranteed after the Sixers failed to reach the second round.

Philadelphia could create up to $64.9 million in cap space this summer if the team waived their non-guaranteed contracts and traded their 2024 first-round pick

This 100%. The game has changed since the superteam garbage, and Phoenix is Exhibit A. That's exactly where we'll be headed if Morey is shortsighted enough to star hunt. Do some real work and follow the Nuggets blueprint.
