OG about to give Siakam bubble flashbacks

[gp2015]

He will do it in private.

OG vs Pascal.

A coach with a top 5 player and a young star like Maxey on his roster couldn't even navigate past the first round, Bubye!

[Agimat]

Well, now that the Sixers are out, I can finally root for any team in the playoffs.

OG vs Pascal.

Precious gonna lock Pascal up too.

This will be a good test for Pascal...

[Los_29]

You have to wonder how much of it is injury related or if Embiid is just a bad playoff performer. He disappeared when the team needed him most. He’s still never been to an ECF.

He won't do postgame

bye bye embiid u clown

[Agimat]

I'm rooting for the Pacers, though I worry they'll face a difficult struggle against the Knicks. Here's hoping that my assumption is completely wrong.

[TOStateofMind]

Not having to watch embiid flop recklessly any more is truly a win for everyone.

Lots of big men to deal with. If Haliburton doesn’t step up the Pacers are in trouble.

[gp2015]

Embiid tried his hardest to knock everyone out with flagrants but he ultimately failed.

He will have to go even harder next year.

Pivotal strategic misses in this series by Nurse is the Batum rotations. Tobias is simply not an energy rebounder defender and when the starter minutes are so heavily focused on Embiid/Maxey he just has nothing to do. You're just getting owned in hustle stats. Batum needed to start today over him.

The other is just not ever trusting your bench until you were down twenty in game 6. All of a sudden you realise that Buddy should have gotten more attempts in the rotation.

For Thibs I think you could of spared a few more minutes for Hart with Deuce. Felt like Mitch/Hartenstein matchups could have been shuffled up a few more times. Just to throw off Embiid when he's in a groove

[WaltFrazier]

Credit to Brunson for perfecting that move but I thought they were getting rid of that nonsense.

Its a bull move, total offensive foul

It's different because he just stops suddenly and shoots. He doesn't jump back into the defender like Trae. What Brunson does is not the Trae/Harden stuff they legislated out

I think Precious matches up better against Indy, might play more. Thibs is so rigid though, even though Precious had the great 4th quarter in game 4 he goes away from him once Robinson returned

This win is really a championship for Knicks fans lmao. Back to reality in round 2 pacers in 5.

Pacers are not winning and especially not in 5.

The last few minutes are going to shield Maxey from a lot of criticism that he rightly deserve because he was an absolute double agent this game. Embiid showed up and ran out of gas a bit at the end again, but he had his best game on the D end and carried the O. The L is on Maxey

Knix are the worst 2 seed in nba history
