2024 NBA Playoffs - East 1st Round: #2 New York Knicks vs. #7 Philadelphia 76ers (NYK WINS 4-2)

Healthy Embiid is a unicorn. No excuses.

Not true Embiid was healthy for games 3 & 5

[___Rand___]

Same, we are probably around the same age. lol

I dunno. Pacers aren't as physical, and doesn't play defense. Knicks should be easy favorites here.

Just seems like a bad matchup for Indy, but wtf do I know.

Yeah Knicks are. They got the guards who can guard Pacers' guards (albeit are a bit smaller, but due to Pacers' lack of physicality, won't be able to take advantage of their 2-3" height advantage). OG will erase Pascal. Robinson and Hartstein on Turner. Knicks run as well as Pacers do. It could get ugly.

Eyetoma stop it already.

lol just cause Brunson kicked your *** don't mean Brunson grifted more than Embiid. Man basically got away with injuring Mitch and not getting ejected.

This is extremely inappropriate. I know you’re upset that your team was eliminated, but this isn’t the route to take. Take some time away from the GB and cool off.

Bro is mad MAD.



Sixers fans crying about fouls when they have Joel Embiid on their team who regularly gets gifted PHANTOM calls, is so funny to me. LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

You should read the Sixers board, I'm having the time of my life currently.

Philly was a train ride or car ride away for most NYers.

Knick fans won’t be flying to Indy like that. They also don’t have transplants there like southern cities.

[Rzwynn]

Congrats Knickerbockers!

Looks like Boston/ NY in the semis! The ratings gonna skyrocket for that series. Silver will ensure this! He wont f’k it up!

Everyone is piling on embiid lol
Why is maxey off the hook. This was a terrible game for him.

Because Maxey is a young player who played huge multiple times this series. I hope the kid takes the crap out of his game that he seemingly started to do this series by flopping a few times. I don't want him to become a PG Embiid clone. He's too good to be like that.

[Butch718]

Barkley picking Indy again. Just the way I like it. Always bet against any team that Barkley or Shaq picks.

If they're all crying about the officiating when the NBA gave them Scott Foster(which they had a 4-0 record with this season) I don't know if I even wanna read it.

One would think they'd be used to this by now

It's a weird comparison because Embiid is actually playing through injuries. Kawhi does not.

Nah that's not true. Kawhi was injured when he played in 2019. He was laboring after the 2nd round series with the Bucks and alluded to playing with pain through the playoffs in the post championship game interview. Lowry said everyone's playing injured in that interview. Said they weren't gonna talk about what they went through. Made no excuses.

The last five years since leaving Toronto say otherwise.

Yes in LA they've been super careful with him. He did play 1 game after his injury then pulled out.

Congrats Knicks fans, it was a great series and the Knicks play their hearts out so mad respect. Brunson was terrific and Hart hit the dagger.

Morey paid the price for acquiring all expiring deals instead of getting Embiid and Maxey some help so he better use that 50m wisely this summer.

Kudos to you guys too. Joel may have won him some enemies in our fanbase but Maxey won himself a lot of admirers. Shame you guys didn't get Siakam and we weren't healthy, cause that could've been an epic ECF. Will be interesting to see how both teams look if we run into each other next spring!

Embid brings it on himself. People actually respect Maxey and there wouldn't have even been a game 6 without him.

[cgf]

The Knicks will play a total of zero away games next series.

Pacers fans aren't going to let Knicks fans invade like Philadelphia. It's not as easy to get there. Philly was just a train ride away.

There will be at least one Randle jersey in the building

Oh man...

Someone actually thought this, and typed this out and hit send

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.

The actual braindead takes in there right now is amazing. Thanks for telling me to check it out.

Indy is more resilient & better coached than Philly, and Siakam won't gas by the 4th quarter in every game. So I won't be surprised if that series is a lot more of a struggle than the people saying 'Knicks in the ECF!' make it seem.

Eyetoma stop it already.

We all need to send letters to Santa.
