"Brunson pushing off, no whistle" no wonder some philly fans complain so much if their broadcast is constantly whining like that lol

It's the whole organization.

Front Office? Cry babies
Head coach? Cry babies
Broadcast team? Cry babies
Their superstar MVP? Cry baby.

They're all a perfect fit together, no accountability, no self reflection, just blame everything on someone else.

He’s still not as good

Sixers are selling out their whole defense to make sure Brunson doesn’t get it going. Maxey isn’t facing close to the same defense.

But that’s neither here nor there. Maxey choked in the end while Brunson came up big in those last seconds.

Maxey is also a 2nd option so he doesn’t get the amount of looks that Brunson gets. Maxey is 1st in the playoffs in TS% Brunson might be dead last. Maxey is 4 years younger and there isn’t a clear gap between the two at the moment other than the gap in playoff performance.

you serious bro…check the tapes …Brunson single handedly beat several teams in the western conference playoffs…lack of knowledge is hilarious

Maxey averages 20 shots a game for the season. He’s averaging 24 a game in the 1st 2 games of this series. That’s with a top 5 player as his first option.

He’s getting mainly single coverage. Brunson has a man on his hip before the ball is inbounded and gets trapped or double/triple teamed once the ball gets in his hands over half court.

If Maxey was truly the better player, he wouldn’t be a negative in the box score 2 games in a row and the Sixers wouldn’t be 0-2. Simple as that.

Yes he’s averaging 24 shots but he’s also scoring a ridiculous 34ppg as well oh and he’s still taking less shots than Brunson this series.

And still down 0-2. Even with all that. Brunson > Maxey

Don't take that guy seriously. The whole GB knows he's a joke at this point

I actually went on to League Pass and watched the end with the Philly broadcast (one of the few benefits of being international) and basically 20 seconds after making those comments they go on acting as if they never said anything like it. 8-)

You gotta be a total dumbass commentating crew to assume a two-possession game is over with more than enough time to have two possessions. :lol:

sixers are now 16-29(including playoffs) when maxey is their best player on the court

The Knicks have heart and you can't teach that. You either have it or you don't.

Hartenstein was everywhere on those last few possessions.

NYC has a team they can be proud of, win or lose.

The 76ers were lax and thought they had the game in the bag. Bad calls are part of the game. When they go in your favor great, when they go against you you can't start crying. The 76ers just have to match the intensity of the Knicks throughout the entire game.

I'm telling you it's these Wildcats; Donte, JHart and Brunson, they just play on a different level of intensity. No wonder they won a couple of NCAA chips together.

Villanova championship pedigree, VillaKnicks. How can you root against these hard working blue collar young men?.

Huge news. I've been following the NBA for a long time and this is the first time I've seen a complaint about the officiating in a game. Blown calls never happen in this league and there were certainly no blown calls that went against the Knicks in this game.

I applaud Philly for standing up for justice!!

Teams have filed grievances before about the officiating. Its nothing new. May be new in playoffs?

It's not that hard. We're putting Embiid and Maxey in single coverage and cutting out the help and the Sixers are blitzing Brunson. The disparity is by design.

Brunson has been a little disappointing in that he hasn't been the decoy as often as he probably should. He took some questionable shots down the stretch and also missed some bunnies for him.

If Brunson can hit just 4 or 5 more of those bunnies that seem to go halfway down and rim out, the sixers are in deep ish.

Who wins?
