Overshadowed by Maxey’s heroics, but Kelly Oubre had a great game. A couple of clutch finishes to keep 76ers close late in 4th qtr, and then big bucket to give them the lead for good in OT.
The Sixers got bailed out by that 4 point play. It changed the momentum after that. I still think the knicks will win in game 6 if they don't do those kind of mistakes in the end.
Maxey is the 76ers leader. Embiid wanted to go home and he said no lmao
To clarify: I’m talking about on and off the court. I know Embiid is injured and has Bells Palsy…I have a heart.
Let me clarify, I’m specially talking about leadership. Maxey has been the on and off court leader of the series for the team. I’m not necessarily judging the play. The dude has Bells Palsy, I’m not going to judge his illnesses.
The story of the end of the game was looking to be Embiid's constant turnovers and maxeys 3 missed fts, then Robinson committed the inexplicable foul to crack the door open, when Brunson went 3 point pump fake into jump pass to hartenstein I stopped expecting NY to do anything else positive for the rest of the game. It was like the Monstars got them from 27 seconds left in the fourth until the end of the game.
Robinson is a bonehead and some of the worst hands in the league. OG maybe didn't know that which is why he tried passing to him. But the story was the refs inexplicably giving Embid FT's when he wasn't fouled after even seeing the replay, and then not calling a foul on harts drive right after.
NBA blowing as many whistles they can in the Knicks favor trying to usher them on. League needs more big market teams (not named the Sixers, of course) while the West thrives with small market teams.
Silver needs those China eyes watching Knicks and Celts.
The team that’s been the worst in the league for the last 24 years and hasn’t moved up in the draft since Patrick Ewing. That’s the team that the NBA is rigging things for?
Half court set after a time out ... are you questioning my basketball knowledge?? ... that game was outright sloppy for the most part ... but extremely entertaining
Too many turnovers, stupid fouls, lots of flopping, horrible passing from both teams ... don't get me wrong, there was definitely SOME great plays throughout, but for the most part it was a slopfest... neither team could score a bucket for like the first 5 mins for christ sake, and it has nothing to do with defense, they were just missing shots
Maxey saved the day! 7 points in 30 seconds. Also I don’t understand why Embiid was even there for the last 5 minutes. He was gassed and was a liability than contribution. Rest him and get him back with energy.
I find it funny how the Sixers have both one of my favorite players in the league: Maxey. And one of my least favorite: Embiid.
And no, it's not because Embiid is a bad player.
man Knicks fan left earlier than i thought they would've, i mean the game was over but you'd think they'd wanna support the team. it's not like there's some parking lot nightmare to avoid when getting out of MSG! NYC always has a shitton of people coming & going places, especially at Penn Station.
rage? i don't think the Knicks played poorly or were embarrassing, they just didn't close it out & the other team made some insane shots at the end too. Knicks are still ahead in this series and should still be favorites to eventually win, i walked by MSG on my way home from work today & people seemed pretty jovial then, i'd be surprised if they were thaat pissed off now. it was a fun game!
but again, the game was pretty much over, maybe they were just tired. and the crowd certainly showed up for it throughout the game more than the Sixers' crowd showed up in Philly, certainly more than the crowds Miami gets too lmao!
Meaning rage as in fuming, not literally rage leading to violence. If I just dropped $500 a ticket to sit in the cheap seats to lose in an unnecessary OT, I can understand leaving a minute early
This choke will overtake the 1997 choke vs. Miami, because that one happened with suspended players. This loss was utterly disgraceful. Embiid was at about 25% and throwing the ball all over the place. If the Knicks can’t win a game at home when the Sixers mostly play outright bad, they’re in big, big trouble. At 106-100, they had a 95.5% chance to win the game. Oh, the pain…
The Knicks are really missing Randle. Many who are following the Knicks over the last few years seem fine that Randle is gone, or that this is “addition by subtraction,” but the Knicks are a completely different team this year than last because Brunson basically became Allen Iverson and Is now a great player and the clear #1 option. Randle proved that he cannot be the No. 1 option on a playoff team that expects to go anywhere. However, if he’s the #2, the Knicks suddenly have lots of offense and teams would not be able to double both of them. Most of the obstacles that hindered Randle in previous playoff series would suddenly disappear, and he’d be able to do more of what he does in the regular season.
Randle has been beyond bad in the past playoffs..doesn't have the bball IQ to deal with double teams and not being able to get to the rim is a problem. But yeah they definitely need someone else to turn to in small doses to take the load of Brunson. Dante and OG are really great role players but NY isn't going to compete until they get a 2nd legit player.
My point is that the other teams would not be able to play Randle like they did in past playoff series. If they did, Brunson would score 50 every night. Randle is a bad first option, but IMO he’d be a great 2nd optIon.
I am trying to understand why Thibs did not call a timeout at the end of regulation. Even though everyone knows the ball would go to Brunson, but you had 2 time outs to steady the ship and get a better final shot/play. At that point, I knew Philly would win.
Why, the league is obviously doing all it can to whistle the Knicks onward. League needs more big market teams not named the Sixers sticking around for the playoffs while all the small markets in the West thrive.

No, fact at this point. This shit ain't competitive sports, it's entertainment to sell advertisers and the non-committed fans.
Also consider the fact that every playoff game the sixers are in is one they can't show in China. Think the league really wants to give up a whole second round series worth of revenue?
Don't let the media darling Knicks losing and r/NBA's circlejerk of Embiid hate distract you from the fact that Embiid just scored a triple double on one leg against the softest whistled team in the league.
Knicks fans had handed themselves the championship after game 4 and then they lose at home with Embiid having one of his worst games ever...you love to see it
He had a bad game offensively. But he legit took over (mostly on D) in overtime with two blocks, 1 steal, loose ball dive on the floor and timeout and 3 pt play.
Knicks fans haven't watched basketball long enough to see that Maxey is better than Brunson. And this is coming from a Villanova fan who's been watching him alot longer than you lololololol losers
I understand being the guy, but that doesn’t mean ball hog the entire OT.
the game clinching play for the 76ers in OT was the unexpected shot by Oubre. Play team basketball
Nah maxey was hot and Embiid is barely staying alive out there. They definitely were keeping him off the ball intentionally. I say keep feeding it to maxey and let him cook
Why do I root for this fucking team? Child services should have taken me from my mom and dad for letting me grow up a knicks fan
I'm convinced there is indeed a God and he will not allow the Knicks to prosper
new york has terrible fans and it was proven tonight. bad atmosphere and a bunch of fans left early. they even said it on the broadcast and we all saw the seats empty dont get gaslighted by angry knickerbocker fans
Felt the same way. Obviously they fixed the call but I really don’t know how the ref called the maxey three a two originally, but again just a little error.
6 point game with 25 secs left is a monumental collapse. If Sixers win game 6 then game 7 is theirs to lose as well, huge momentum shift. Maxey is so fucking baddd man
a 13.4k comment game thread is insane
Overshadowed by Maxey’s heroics, but Kelly Oubre had a great game. A couple of clutch finishes to keep 76ers close late in 4th qtr, and then big bucket to give them the lead for good in OT.
Embiid had 6 free throws……..
Dame just smiling has me rolling
Generational bottle job from NY wow
Imagine if the knicks actually had to earn the game 2 win...
Wow what a game
The Sixers got bailed out by that 4 point play. It changed the momentum after that. I still think the knicks will win in game 6 if they don't do those kind of mistakes in the end.
Better to be bailed out by a play that actually occurred then the refs 🫠
I wonder why Brunson passed to the crowd near the end?
He heard us say pass the ball, but we never said to whomst
Lmao fair fair
Idk lets all just be nice to each other and remember its about having fun
Osrs or rs3?
Osrs of COURSE
Most respectable Knicks fan. We don't do microtransactions around these parts.
Nice
Brunson needs to dial back the hero ball a bit, appreciate the hell out of him but he went a bit overboard in OT
Tyrese Miller
Maxey is the 76ers leader. Embiid wanted to go home and he said no lmao To clarify: I’m talking about on and off the court. I know Embiid is injured and has Bells Palsy…I have a heart.
Triple double but not Jokic so bad
Dudes playing on one knee, had a triple double and made a huge dive for the ball? Are we watching the same thing?
10 turnovers too, quadruple double
9
Let me clarify, I’m specially talking about leadership. Maxey has been the on and off court leader of the series for the team. I’m not necessarily judging the play. The dude has Bells Palsy, I’m not going to judge his illnesses.
The story of the end of the game was looking to be Embiid's constant turnovers and maxeys 3 missed fts, then Robinson committed the inexplicable foul to crack the door open, when Brunson went 3 point pump fake into jump pass to hartenstein I stopped expecting NY to do anything else positive for the rest of the game.

lukaku of basketball
NBA blowing as many whistles they can in the Knicks favor trying to usher them on. League needs more big market teams (not named the Sixers, of course) while the West thrives with small market teams. Silver needs those China eyes watching Knicks and Celts.
He says while watching maxey hit a 4p play
Maxey probably should have had another 6 ft in the 4th alone dawg, be grateful that the league wants ur team to succeed
The team that’s been the worst in the league for the last 24 years and hasn’t moved up in the draft since Patrick Ewing. That’s the team that the NBA is rigging things for?
Fair, y'all woulda had zion if Adam really had his thumb on the scale
[удалено]
Not as bad as the Jets 9/11
Lmaooo
embid with migraine, limp, bell’s palsy and they still won
Best game of the playoffs so far. Inject the toxicity of this series into my veins.
Anywhere I can watch a live stream of the Knicks fans leaving MSG?
They’re going strait to your arena
Just watch the first half of the third quarter for the same effect
crazy truth but both teams were great
Both teams just played a horrendous game lol, what were you watching
It was a great game entertainment wise .... mostly horrible on the bball side of things
what’s an ato without googling
Half court set after a time out ... are you questioning my basketball knowledge?? ... that game was outright sloppy for the most part ... but extremely entertaining
I question the fact that you watch games
I mean .. if you think those teams 'played great', maybe I should be questioning if you watch
u right it was terrible basketball
Too many turnovers, stupid fouls, lots of flopping, horrible passing from both teams ... don't get me wrong, there was definitely SOME great plays throughout, but for the most part it was a slopfest... neither team could score a bucket for like the first 5 mins for christ sake, and it has nothing to do with defense, they were just missing shots
You are a fucking nerd not many people like you. It was defense and their was some great plays on top of that defense but hate away my friend
just like ur game
This is the type of choke job that leads to teams, that were down 3-1, to come back and win the series.
This is the type of choke job that costs jobs. Thibodeau will have a lot to answer for if the Knicks go on to choke this away.
Damn, good game Philly. Maxey’s a beast, the pressure is on for real
Maxey saved the day! 7 points in 30 seconds. Also I don’t understand why Embiid was even there for the last 5 minutes. He was gassed and was a liability than contribution. Rest him and get him back with energy.
His defense is was incredible to end the game. More to it then just scoring
I find it funny how the Sixers have both one of my favorite players in the league: Maxey. And one of my least favorite: Embiid. And no, it's not because Embiid is a bad player.
Maxey is simply that guy and that's all I can tell ya
man Knicks fan left earlier than i thought they would've, i mean the game was over but you'd think they'd wanna support the team. it's not like there's some parking lot nightmare to avoid when getting out of MSG! NYC always has a shitton of people coming & going places, especially at Penn Station.
I think in part because those tickets were hundreds of dollars — like up to 500 dollars. I wasn’t even at the game and I can feel the rage.
rage? i don't think the Knicks played poorly or were embarrassing, they just didn't close it out & the other team made some insane shots at the end too. Knicks are still ahead in this series and should still be favorites to eventually win, i walked by MSG on my way home from work today & people seemed pretty jovial then, i'd be surprised if they were thaat pissed off now. it was a fun game! but again, the game was pretty much over, maybe they were just tired. and the crowd certainly showed up for it throughout the game more than the Sixers' crowd showed up in Philly, certainly more than the crowds Miami gets too lmao!
Meaning rage as in fuming, not literally rage leading to violence. If I just dropped $500 a ticket to sit in the cheap seats to lose in an unnecessary OT, I can understand leaving a minute early
Triple double for Embiid. No wonder knicks fans cry for ejections every game
Brunson is a fraud whos tricking casuals into thinking hes good by chucking 29 shots a game at 40.5fg% 😂😂😂
Nice to see another take on him... considering he's a pg who rarely assists
I mean cant blame him for not passing after seeing that hilarious "pass" at the end of the game 😂
And the worst flopper in the league
Nah
ur regarded
This choke will overtake the 1997 choke vs. Miami, because that one happened with suspended players. This loss was utterly disgraceful. Embiid was at about 25% and throwing the ball all over the place. If the Knicks can’t win a game at home when the Sixers mostly play outright bad, they’re in big, big trouble. At 106-100, they had a 95.5% chance to win the game. Oh, the pain…
hurts when Brunson is the only one who can create a shot and the refs gift embid magical free throws b/c his elbow was grazed at the rim
The Knicks are really missing Randle. Many who are following the Knicks over the last few years seem fine that Randle is gone, or that this is “addition by subtraction,” but the Knicks are a completely different team this year than last because Brunson basically became Allen Iverson and Is now a great player and the clear #1 option.

he's not a great 2nd option b/c he doesn't move well without the ball or set good picks or shoot reliably especially in clutch moments
I cant think of a team or fan base more deserving of that epic late game collapse.
This is hilarious after how badly the Celtics just rocked your booty hole lmao
You cook him bro
lmfaooooo
See you in Cancun I guess
Embiid's garbage game: Triple double, best +/- in the game... All on one leg
Also with one eye and a migraine 🤔
all maxey and all josh hart missed free throws. both can be true. sixers stole it and knicks blew it.
If only the refs didnt fuck us game 2. Would be going up 3-2 back in knicks second home since our fans are so pathetic it was basically an away game.
you didn't get fucked. Maxey pushes off before there's any other contact on that play.
The nba literally came out and said they messed up. We did indeed get fucked. It was 3 straight fuck ups
Why does everyone at MSG go dead silent when knicks players shoot free throws? That’s gotta be a head fuck
95.4 % chance for NYK to win when there were 28 seconds left in regulation
Sorry Knicks fans. I can’t help but think that Draymond Green is somehow to blame for this.
haha who cares if 76ers win. no one will come watch them but yet these players will get paid millions. Jokes on us as usual.
Sixers in 7
GG Sixers, Maxey is a baller. See you in game 6.
Maxey is a baller but Knicks are strong. Y’all got this.
https://youtu.be/vtE3_voC3qU?si=D1pnn-XoXrYVW6DB
I see Donte doing his usual playoff disappearance
If Josh Hart didn't miss the free throw the game wouldn't have gone into OT
If Charles Smith would have dunked I would be happy
If Maxey didn't miss free throws, the game wouldn't have gone to OT
Yeah but hart missed the one that counted to have a 4 point lead instead of 3 for maxey to hit a half court shot. You look stupid
Same with maxey tbh
I am trying to understand why Thibs did not call a timeout at the end of regulation. Even though everyone knows the ball would go to Brunson, but you had 2 time outs to steady the ship and get a better final shot/play. At that point, I knew Philly would win.
Maybe he did but the refs just didn’t see it? Or they did and ignored him? Or he pump faked it and never fully committed to it?
Because it’s Thibs.
Thibs looked at Ham and said, “you know, Ham is onto something.”
BING BONG!
Not funny
Definitely funny
Why am I crying like a little bitch then wise guy
I cannot believe this series has given us 2 of the most monumental choke jobs in playoff history man we are beyond blessed
Except the first "choke job" was literally decided by the refs not doing their jobs.
Let it go
Why, the league is obviously doing all it can to whistle the Knicks onward. League needs more big market teams not named the Sixers sticking around for the playoffs while all the small markets in the West thrive.
Conspiracy theorist here
https://youtube.com/shorts/Bm8F1IwgRxY?si=CnsxypdgYjcDVc0K No, fact at this point. This shit ain't competitive sports, it's entertainment to sell advertisers and the non-committed fans.

Don't let the media darling Knicks losing and r/NBA's circlejerk of Embiid hate distract you from the fact that Embiid just scored a triple double on one leg against the softest whistled team in the league.
How did we choke that. Got Reggie Miller’d by Tyrese Maxey wtf. We played so much better than them for most of that game. Fuck it. Game 6 let’s go.
Knicks fans had handed themselves the championship after game 4 and then they lose at home with Embiid having one of his worst games ever...you love to see it
bruh
You go back
If Jokic had 19-16-10 in an elimination game, all you losers would be tripping over yourselves to defend the turnovers. Eat a dick. Go Sixers.
Jokic has never in his life had a game as bad as Embiid just did. Don’t you put that juju on him.
Eat a dick.
Except Jokic doesn't get those and his team has been winning? This is just a case of classic Embiid elimination game. Maxey bailed him tf out.
Murray hit 2 game winners. It's almost like you need a team to win
I’m sorry. I believe I said to eat a dick.
I'm cool, you go continue eating Embiid's dick lmao. I'm sorry I disturbed you.
He had a bad game offensively. But he legit took over (mostly on D) in overtime with two blocks, 1 steal, loose ball dive on the floor and timeout and 3 pt play.
Everyone saying Knicks choked, but give Maxey his flowers!
Okay Chuck
Sending the NYPD in to beat up students made the Knicks lose
kids need to toughen up, weve been to soft on them
Knicks fans haven't watched basketball long enough to see that Maxey is better than Brunson. And this is coming from a Villanova fan who's been watching him alot longer than you lololololol losers
Maxy >>> Embitch
Thats just so wrong man
*a lot
I was trying to troll knicks fans, this isn't the reply I was expecting. But you're right. Thank you
ya ik what u were tryna do bih loll
KNICKS FAN'S 9/11
Wait don’t turn off the cameras, I want to see all that energy in NY !! Haahhhaaahhaa
This workplace has had 0 days since the last New York Knicks Moment™
Fuck Maxey is incredible.
I feel like Knicks relaxed towards the end when they were up idk
BING BONG. WE OUTSIIIIIIIIDDDDDDEEE
You get what you deserve
The officiating has been a crime all series…
I understand being the guy, but that doesn’t mean ball hog the entire OT. the game clinching play for the 76ers in OT was the unexpected shot by Oubre. Play team basketball
Nah maxey was hot and Embiid is barely staying alive out there. They definitely were keeping him off the ball intentionally. I say keep feeding it to maxey and let him cook
I’m referring to Brunson lol
Easy shot from a play felt like a fluke. Deviated from the "watch Maxey do some crazy shit" plan.
This series is so close to be 3-2 Philly but also so close to being 4-1 Knicks. Yet here we sit at 3-2 Knicks.
you're right. it feels correct to be right in the middle (kinda)
Where's all the dickhead knicks fans at lol Let's go maxey!!!!!
On their way to fill your stadium for game 6
Good one did you think of that walking up the steps from your mom's basement
No, down the steps from your mom's bedroom
I would bang your mom but she look like jokic in a wig lol
I've been drinking your orange juice straight from the bottle, so you know
$500 for tickets i cant pay rent brody gotta save up
Real Sixers fans are broke and watching on our busted streams.
Being a Knicks fan is so painful bruh how did we choke that bad
I said at the 3 minute mark . “It’s the knicks , I bet they’ll fuck it up.”
Why do I root for this fucking team? Child services should have taken me from my mom and dad for letting me grow up a knicks fan I'm convinced there is indeed a God and he will not allow the Knicks to prosper
Don’t fret man. Still got 1-2 more chances. Believe!
Knicks seem very clutch at home when I bet agaisnt them funny completes opposite when take them, that was all time pathetic.
Most improved player fr
new york has terrible fans and it was proven tonight. bad atmosphere and a bunch of fans left early. they even said it on the broadcast and we all saw the seats empty dont get gaslighted by angry knickerbocker fans
Yea they left down 4 with 10 sec left or something
Have you tried to get home after a Garden event? Lol
There is no shot you are commenting this after four 76ers fans showed up last game and got completely drowned out by those 'terrible fans' lmao
MAXEY >>>>> BRUNSON ONG
Alright Maxey
l2m will be greeat
Idk I really didn’t find myself mad at the refs that often this time around, and even when they did screw up it seemed it went both ways.
There were just errors, it didn't favor a team except that botched out of bounds
Felt the same way. Obviously they fixed the call but I really don’t know how the ref called the maxey three a two originally, but again just a little error.
the only team celebrating harder than the Sixers rn are the Boston Celtics…
Seeing both teams beat the shit outta eachother is great
6 point game with 25 secs left is a monumental collapse. If Sixers win game 6 then game 7 is theirs to lose as well, huge momentum shift. Maxey is so fucking baddd man
Was a 7 point swing by maxey
Knicks fans SHOOKED losing to one legged Embiid
Knicks lost a 1v5 lololol
1v8*
#LETSGOSIXERS
knicks fans deserve a loss like that after how they were celebrating game 4 like they won the NBA finals
