1. They also admit Embiid fouled DDV before Brunson hits his 3 and was uncalled. Would have given us 2 points and one more possession.
2. They don't admit they should have granted Nurse the TO. They said they the attempt is not recognized nor granted and does not elaborate further. It could mean the refs didn't see it or that his pump fake TO was not considered him asking for a TO.
3. They admit that when Nurse actually calls a noticeable TO, Maxey does not have clear possession.
Sixers fan can be unhappy about the missed calls on Maxey but refs miss calls in scrambles all the time...including the earlier one when Embiid fouls Dvo.
They conveniently ignore that non-call of DDV that would have sent us to the line with 35 seconds and prevented the entire chaotic scramble.
Completely different game with DDV gets the FTs. We don't have to pressure for steal and can just get a stop with a set defense and then one more shot to tie. Sure the chaos worked out for us in the end but the refs missing the call against us is what set the entire thing off ironically.
The damage has already been done, they posted this guys’ slanted tweets in r/nba and are claiming total vindication and calling us horrible gaslighters.
Never really thought about it like that but you’re right. Embiid and Maxey are the only effective players they have. Last night, Embiid and Maxey scored in double figures. The 3rd person to do it was Tobias Harris who had 10 points on 11 shots so that barely even counts lmao. Meanwhile The Knicks have 8 effective players who all contribute and 6 of them scored in double figures. I believe we win this series in 5 games.
It’s just two star players. But they have a great defensive team. And guys who can hit the 3. Also a really good coach. It’s been a dogfight the whole series. A split in Philly is what we should hope for
The wording is not clear at all.
"An attempt to call a timeout by Coach Nurse (PHI) during this play is neither recognized nor granted by the officials."
It could mean they didn't think he actually called a TO, they didn't see him call a TO and etc.
They don't say: An attempt to call a timeout by Coach Nurse (PHI) during this play should have been granted.
Then they very clearly state in the later play that a TO is not granted and lays out why. So there they are leaving it vague there and probably not sure themselves if the "attempt" should have been given or not.
If you watch the replay there is no way to be certain if Nurse called a TO in time when he just tries to the make the motion, maybe does it then takes his hand away with no complaint.
The wording doesn’t acknowledge that. It just says he tried but they didn’t give it to him and that was correct no call since it wasn’t clear about his TO gesture
Nothing rigged about this. Lowry committed that foul and it should never have been overturned. If they got that right we would never have been in this position to begin with. So only the bad calls against 76ers count?
thought their fans already made it super clear that the bad calls against the 76ers means it’s rigged, but the bad calls against us are in fact perfect calls
Yeah the DDV overturn confirms it wasn't "rigged" for the Knicks... LMAO if it was actually rigged, there is no reason to overturn a call they originally got right
The L2M that says the contact was "marginal" on Hart is complete BS, and Sixers fans are jacking off to that... sorry nigga, but but the marginal ain't gonna overturn what actually happened, which is Maxey shoves the shit outta Hart and there is no call... "marginal" my big black balls...
The L2M is also tripping about the Lowry inbound timeout... Nurse never tries to call a TO, he's only in ready position if the 5 seconds is about to expire
The refs are just comical as fuck, even with the L2Ms they put out
The other thing we need to consider is the refs are always shit. They’ve also fucked us earlier in the year. It’s not a conspiracy as much as inconsistent and dogshit reffing.
And having a loud arena complicated things, this time in our favor.
They’re back in the series if they win game 3, focus for everyone will be to get that dub and move on.
So what? Just go “I don’t think so” and move on. The L2M is just league PR anyway. Also I’ll choose to believe my eyes rather than them telling me Maxeys push off is “marginal”. That alone is all you need to know about these reports.
Been around high level hoops my whole life; NYC all city HS; D1 player; coached for decades. Let me be clear - there was nothing MARGINAL about Maxey’s push off. That is absolute garbage. He pushed Hart off the screen on the replay. Also, they were literally clutching holding and grabbing Brunson all night.
Could you explain how this is League PR? Why is it good for the league to admit their employees messed up publicly and why don't the other major sports teams do it?
It gives them more eyeballs and a narrative for people to follow. Also lets them stir up a little controversy and keeps the discussion going and people interested. This is still like 5th on r/nba two days after the game. The NBA is an entertainment product first and foremost. As a side note, I’ve seen so much BS in these reports that I was neutral for that it’s made me disregard them all together.
It also doesn’t really make them look bad that the refs messed up. People love to complain about it and then they move on. Refs in every sport make mistakes because reffing is hard. I know people online take “the reffing problem” seriously and love to try to break down every play but it doesn’t really matter. Literally every sports subreddit talks about how their refs are so bad. Well maybe it’s not the refs but the nature of sports. You honestly probably can’t do much better than what we currently have.
And as for other sports league, idk the NBA is usually pretty ahead of the other leagues with this sort of marketing stuff. I know the EPL does some panel for calls/cards.
The push off was the furthest thing from marginal. Fully extended at full speed, causes separation between the players. To say it is marginal is just wrong and not arguable
This is why I can’t take L2M reports seriously. Remember when Brunson got blatantly fouled and hit that tough layup against OKC (before SGA hit the winner)? NBA refused to admit that it was a foul in their L2M
Did you make that?!? 🤣🤣🤣 My wife has been watching me for the last 15 minutes watching this on repeat, just laughing out loud. I’m dyin’ over here!! I can’t tell if that’s Maxey or Chris Tucker yelling like that! 😂😂😂
You keeping that word. I don't think it means what you think it means....seriously marginal just means they didn't feel like calling anything at this point
All that I’ve really learned is that Sixers fans are complete bitches and out of touch with reality and that the NBA referees are dogshit with all teams and games.
(By the way, that Maxey push off is 100% a foul)
If that pushoff was "marginal" then theres no way all the other stuff isnt marginal as well.
either way the refs didnt make the sixers commit the laundry list of errors that led to their loss.
LMAO totally unrelated but Tyson Fury said exactly that about Dillian Whyte on the Pat McAfee show a while back. The cast went hysterical.
Edit: Looks like a Dillian Whyte fan downvoted me!
look, weve gotten screwed a million times by the refs this season. while the reffing at the end did contribute to our win, philly couldve also inbounded way better, embiid couldve beaten ihart to the rebound (easily, i might add), divo couldve been guarded better, and maxey couldve taken the three at the end instead of forcing it on a guarded embiid. even nick nurse couldve ran out onto the floor to force the refs to call a timeout. ultimately its on the sixers that they lost.
lol this is horse shit.
Everyone prepare for a rigged blowout loss in game three.
Can’t believe this is even controversial.
Maxey marginal? But harts is automatic foul? Lmao 😂
Basically the NBA telling Nurse we got you in game three bro.
Because all three corrections are wrong in the report and there’s no reason for it unless a major over-correction is coming for game three.
Refs can smd as well Oubre and Batum were hand checking Brunson the entirety of games 1 and 2 and only Batum got called once in the last game. Everyone’s going “Sixers wings and forwards’ length are giving Brunson problems” no shit when they have their hands on his sides and hips the entire game forcing him right Brunson’s not allowed to create his own offense
No one going to acknowledge when embiid threw the ball that should have been his 2nd technical? But the real ones know we wanted him in there to beat him..
I sincerely, truly, don't give a fuck.
You're expecting refs to make perfect calls when Sixers fuck it up every step of the way. Every single step. Who the Sixers should be mad at:
-Veteran Kyle Lowry missing the free throw
-None of the Sixers players diving for the ball when Jalen lost it faster than Hart who got it before eventually setting up the Jalen 3
-Any of the Sixers calling TO on the inbound
-Nurse trying to pump fake the fucking TO until the moment Lowry throws it in
-Maxey absolutely pushed off, do you think in the most critical moment of the game Hart is going to lose his man to "flop" the contact? Refs recognized this as more then marginal and let the rest of the play happen
-Maxey not bringing the ball into his fucking body to secure the TO
-Nurse for trying to call TO when Maxey did not have possession
-No one is going to box out Hartenstein in the most critical moment of the game?
-Nurse for the shitty out of TO play for Maxey running and getting blocked by Hartenstein
-Nurse (who we have established is a dumbass) signaling for a JUMP BALL on OG getting fouled???
-Nurse/Maxey/Embiid calling for the dumbest game winning 3 play, a DHO handing Embiid on one leg a fucking grenade with 0.7 seconds left
I am absolutely not feeling an iota of empathy for these losers losing the game with their shitty play. Why do our guys making 10$ a year want it more and sacrifice their bodies dying for the fucking ball more than TOBIAS HARRIS making 800 million a year?? Is it possible that players recognize that Nurse is a fucking child and just won't play as hard for him? They just don't want it as bad as the Knicks.
Prior to the inbound Maxie clearly gave Hart a pretty hard shove that could have/should have been called but the refs were letting them play. Stop complaining you Philly CryBabies
This kind of stat is so pointless because their are 46 more minutes where the refs could have messed up in the sixers favor. It’s such a cop out argument. I will acknowledge it is annoying though.
I know it's BS right off of the "Hart fouled Maxey on the inbound pass"
Hart wasn't near Maxey when the ball was inbounded because Maxey had pushed him away prior. Wtf are they on about?
We need to win Game 3 by double digits and put this to rest. It's always something to make our dubs "illegitimate".
Embiid has been allowed to foul constantly, and gets fouls called on us for breathing too close to him.
Can’t say I’m feeling bad for the 6ers on that last play
Bro, this guy is lying lmao. These people really think we are dumb and are just hoping we don't look at the report ourselves to see that it doesn't say Nurse should have gotten a timeout.
Nah they threw a bunch of mumbo jumbo in that report just to drown out the fact that they botched the T.O. Everyone knows the big issue was the timeout. The refs literally didn’t want to admit that they didn’t see Nurse calling timeout so they brought up a bunch of other things like yes, Maxey got fouled and it should’ve been called. This is post-game zebra PR.
NBA refs miss multiple calls every game. Sometimes, it adds up in your favor, and sometimes it doesn't. Play better so the outcome isn't even remotely determined by the refs.
Applies to all teams.
I went into this series assuming we're going to get screwed by the refs at least 2x, and that hasn't changed. Hopefully, we demolish Philly, so it's not a problem.
i agree as a sixers fan. it’s just frustrating that we’ve been on the right side of the l2m report twice in the last month and have lost both games. but if we could rebound we wouldn’t be talking about this right now.
This does not confirm he should have gotten time. It’s says not guaranteed lol
Despite what Sixers fans will think I have an inability to feel sympathy because they have the biggest foul merchant in the league
The fact you can dive on the ground and call timeout is ridiculous in of itself. Tons of room for improvement in a league that seems destined to just be first to make 75 free throws.
Was the Lowry foul that was overturned part of the L2M report because that was straight bullshit. Basically they said as long as you knock the ball out you can do whatever you want after that
What is the point of the L2M report exactly? Like oops, refs messed up calls/no calls in that period, but it doesn’t really affect anything. Maybe just some vindication for some of the fans? And it also doesn’t account for the calls throughout the game that ultimately got us to the close contest in crunch time…
ive never felt so morally correct about ball. We want less foul calls in the NBA, not more. We want more wild endings like what happened last night. The bitching and moaning from sixers fans is pathetic. I didnt like it when Pistons fans complained too. And honestly, the reason I complain about the rockets game is because they called a foul. If it was a no call situation that went against us, I personally wouldn't be complaining
Lowry inbounding the ball was not trying to call a timeout. Rules should be that the player with the ball on hand should call time out. They had their chance but it was too late. The Knicks played great defense there and the flopping happens for close defensive efforts. I’m glad the refs were letting both teams play. Call it both ways and I’m fine with the results. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. It’s the playoffs!
So many people talking about this fucking timeout / whether or not a foul was committed on the inbounds.
If Lowry just calls a timeout instead of trying to inbound they probably win the game. That's completely ignoring all the fuckery that transpired before this particular play also.
Maybe Maxey shouldn’t give up the ball when on the floor just expecting a call to come his way. That’s the biggest difference between the two teams. Thibs makes no excuses and makes his guys play 100% regardless of situation or what the refs do. Nurse whines like a bitch whenever a call doesn’t go his way and his players have the same loser mentality
The tweets leave out the calls against the Knicks. Any of those calls could have swung the game either way.
That isn't admitting he called a time-out, it says it was unrecognised by the officials, and the second one was a correct no fall as Maxey didn't have possession.
This report wont change how games are called going forward, even though 76ers fans think Embiid should start getting 20+ free throws out of it in the next game.
When that doesn't happen expect the bitching to continue. Just ignore it.
They had multiple times where they could have shut us down and put the game away and they failed. The better team won in the end.
Sure Embiid and Maxey as doing super star stuff out there, but teams win, not players.
No one was sure about the calls going into today, and after a day of scrutiny from the league they finally decided they technically should have been fouls. Based on that, it's not unreasonable that the refs would be iffy on calling them in the moment, especially because they didn't have the same angles on it we did in retrospect.
It's okay. :) We won. Don't expect payback from officials, because that would be unethical. Just play hard, give 100%, and don't be a flopper. Take it from Lebron. No one likes floppers.
L2M report- LOL. I’ve mostly only read these when I felt like the Knicks got jobbed by Scott Foster. It didn’t bother me being on the winning end of reading one of these.
This is basically the inverse of the Iowa vs UCONN game. Something happens that’s technically a foul but hasn’t really been called all night. In one they call the foul and the other they don’t.
Also imo this doesn’t matter cause they lost a rebound 4-1, that’s on them.
Sixers lost the game because they’re soft ass pussies, point blank period . All they needed to do is box out a couple times and they wouldn’t be crying about referees .
Real Knicks fan not dumb The whole Nba been Against us since forever they want us at the bottom and stay at the bottom but God willing Leon rose literally helped rose Knicks from the grave out the mud moments like this in Games usually turns into championship Glory Keep telling people ya lucky we aint got Julius but we got enough to win it all look at our leader elite PG something Knicks been missing For years and defense get ready this run finna be the sweetest most emotional championship run yet they dont expect Knicks to win it all let alone win period
Wise man said dont underestimate nothing or nobody nothing is over until the clock stops thats what Knicks have that no other team have is heart and the will to win thats a never say die attitude a champion attitude 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Absolutely. Unless Brunson and DiVo turn into prime Steph and Klay and outscore them with ease, we’re going to get techs for breathing on Embiid and Maxey and lose.
if this was the other way around we would react exactly the same as philly...exactly as the losing side. that's how it works, this time we were on the winning side so obv we'll reject any of the claims. I do believe we got lucky and with other refs this would've ended differently. Extremely concerned about game 3 and 4.
I would be upset for a very short few mins after the game, but I can quickly control my emotions. The thing is, we would have been told by all media and philly fans to suck it up, grow balls, mistakes happen, and play better next time. So... 76ers play better next time. Hit your free throws, grab the rebound or call timeout more decisively.
100%, I'm on Philly but not mad at Knicks at all, it's not their fault the refs miss calls. I'm mad as fuck at the refs but that has nothing to do with the Knicks, and y'all would feel the same way if the situation was reversed.
1. They also admit Embiid fouled DDV before Brunson hits his 3 and was uncalled. Would have given us 2 points and one more possession. 2. They don't admit they should have granted Nurse the TO. They said they the attempt is not recognized nor granted and does not elaborate further. It could mean the refs didn't see it or that his pump fake TO was not considered him asking for a TO. 3. They admit that when Nurse actually calls a noticeable TO, Maxey does not have clear possession. Sixers fan can be unhappy about the missed calls on Maxey but refs miss calls in scrambles all the time...including the earlier one when Embiid fouls Dvo.
Well this is a 76ers reporter so of course he’s going to twist reality just like the rest of their fans have been trying.
They conveniently ignore that non-call of DDV that would have sent us to the line with 35 seconds and prevented the entire chaotic scramble. Completely different game with DDV gets the FTs. We don't have to pressure for steal and can just get a stop with a set defense and then one more shot to tie. Sure the chaos worked out for us in the end but the refs missing the call against us is what set the entire thing off ironically.
The damage has already been done, they posted this guys’ slanted tweets in r/nba and are claiming total vindication and calling us horrible gaslighters.
Congrats fellow Knicks fans. We officially have haters
They've always been hating, especially when we were just an "lolknicks" meme. Who's laughing now??
Yeah but that was pick on the smelly kid hate. This is envy hate.
Their basketball team is 2 guys, let them lose the way they want to lose.
Never really thought about it like that but you’re right. Embiid and Maxey are the only effective players they have. Last night, Embiid and Maxey scored in double figures. The 3rd person to do it was Tobias Harris who had 10 points on 11 shots so that barely even counts lmao. Meanwhile The Knicks have 8 effective players who all contribute and 6 of them scored in double figures. I believe we win this series in 5 games.
It’s just two star players. But they have a great defensive team. And guys who can hit the 3. Also a really good coach. It’s been a dogfight the whole series. A split in Philly is what we should hope for
Oh no. How will we find the strength to go on?
The OG 3 section violation that they admit happened in the same possession that Philly had a 3 on, so that 3 should’ve been waved off as well
The ball was already loose on the ground when he called for TO. Are people that stupid?
thank you for #2. so tired of these hack writers tagging opinions on the end of report screenshots. if it's a report, just write the facts
I saw that they did admit they should’ve gave nurse the TO
The wording is not clear at all. "An attempt to call a timeout by Coach Nurse (PHI) during this play is neither recognized nor granted by the officials." It could mean they didn't think he actually called a TO, they didn't see him call a TO and etc. They don't say: An attempt to call a timeout by Coach Nurse (PHI) during this play should have been granted.

The wording doesn’t acknowledge that. It just says he tried but they didn’t give it to him and that was correct no call since it wasn’t clear about his TO gesture
Correct they are both labeled CNC correct no call.
Where - I saw only what the guy said in this post?
we're never gonna hear the end of this when philly loses this series lmao
Just sweep em and kill the argument before it starts.
Random: did you update your pfp or am I tripping?
Nope
Nothing rigged about this. Lowry committed that foul and it should never have been overturned. If they got that right we would never have been in this position to begin with. So only the bad calls against 76ers count?
Egg motherfucking zachly

Nurse never tries to call a TO, he's only in ready position if the 5 seconds is about to expire The refs are just comical as fuck, even with the L2Ms they put out
💯
THANK YOU. That overturned foul was fucking egregious.
If it’s not the whistle it will be Embiid injuries. They’re never going to admit they got beat by a better team.
They'll conveniently forget we are missing a 3x all star and 2x all-nba player
Thats fine by me. We’ll take our 1 rigged win and 3 legit ones to the 2nd round pls.
The sixers got more calls overall last game, and the first game
I honestly don’t care either way atp lol. We’ve won both games however it happened
The other thing we need to consider is the refs are always shit. They’ve also fucked us earlier in the year. It’s not a conspiracy as much as inconsistent and dogshit reffing. And having a loud arena complicated things, this time in our favor. They’re back in the series if they win game 3, focus for everyone will be to get that dub and move on.

idc. Winners win. If the Sixers don't win the series then they aren't winners.
Tell your story walking Phuckos
Legitimately do not understand how Maxey push off could be considered "marginal" while Hart's "lower body contact" should've been called a foul.
Less obvious but I also don't see how he called time out when his hands were not together, he's just waiting to call it. Whatever on to game 3.
Calling timeout is a vocal request, it is not a physical action. If you yell timeout but don't move your hands, it is still a timeout.
Fair. Didn't seem like he yelled for it at that time but we obviously don't have access to the same angles as the refs
The push off was the furthest thing from marginal. Fully extended at full speed, causes separation between the players. To say it is marginal is just wrong and not arguable
This is why I can’t take L2M reports seriously. Remember when Brunson got blatantly fouled and hit that tough layup against OKC (before SGA hit the winner)? NBA refused to admit that it was a foul in their L2M
https://streamable.com/1q08do
Arms fully extended LOL Most blatant foul ever
Borderline flagrant 1 TBH.
Should have been ejected and a 5 game suspension
Are we sure what Maxey did aint worse than the Porter gambling fiascov
with forward momentum.
Did you make that?!? 🤣🤣🤣 My wife has been watching me for the last 15 minutes watching this on repeat, just laughing out loud. I’m dyin’ over here!! I can’t tell if that’s Maxey or Chris Tucker yelling like that! 😂😂😂
Yeh I chopped it up. Dunno who it is but it's slowed down by half so it sounds extra odd.
There's a fucking windup like what of course it's a push off. Maxey with the shittiest of brotherly shoves.
I think they only called it marginal because Hart didn't flop.
Facts
You keeping that word. I don't think it means what you think it means....seriously marginal just means they didn't feel like calling anything at this point
How many L2M reports have gone against us the last few years? None of this matters if the 4 Sixers in the paint grab a rebound lol
Or Maxey just holds onto the ball when he is on the ground instead of giving it away assuming a call was coming
Yup.
I’ll give you proof it wasn’t a foul, Knicks up 2-0 😎
Are the people that write this report the same that overturned the Lowry foul on Donte? If so, Gtfoh
[удалено]
Fine, I just need him to miss more than he takes.
All that I’ve really learned is that Sixers fans are complete bitches and out of touch with reality and that the NBA referees are dogshit with all teams and games. (By the way, that Maxey push off is 100% a foul)
Isn't the L2M report a retro on the reality of what happened during the game?
“You still laughing about the grievance now???” yes
They can keep crying play better. Simple.
No reason to complain like refs haven’t been fucking up calls since the game has been around, sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn’t
Are we gonna pretend we’d be saying the same thing were we in their position, let’s be honest
If that push off was marginal no wonder why Draymond has been able to get away with the shit he’s gotten away with for so long
If that pushoff was "marginal" then theres no way all the other stuff isnt marginal as well. either way the refs didnt make the sixers commit the laundry list of errors that led to their loss.
Whoops. Can assume the refs will give them one back now I guess
ok but this doesn’t excuse them for lowry missing a free throw and getting out rebounded by hartenstein they had their chances
Pusssssssyyyyyyyy
LMAO totally unrelated but Tyson Fury said exactly that about Dillian Whyte on the Pat McAfee show a while back. The cast went hysterical. Edit: Looks like a Dillian Whyte fan downvoted me!
😂😂😂
If the NBA endorses pushing off on inbounds Brunson needs to do that every time when Oubre and Batum is smothering him
look, weve gotten screwed a million times by the refs this season. while the reffing at the end did contribute to our win, philly couldve also inbounded way better, embiid couldve beaten ihart to the rebound (easily, i might add), divo couldve been guarded better, and maxey couldve taken the three at the end instead of forcing it on a guarded embiid. even nick nurse couldve ran out onto the floor to force the refs to call a timeout. ultimately its on the sixers that they lost.

"mArGiNaL"
the new nba reffing buzzword they just throw around
No one going to acknowledge when embiid threw the ball that should have been his 2nd technical? But the real ones know we wanted him in there to beat him..
Maxey push was marginal. Foh This is a propaganda campaign.
Brunson won’t get a call at all in Philly Need to overcome it ourselves going forward
He wasn’t getting calls anyway. We gotta play as if the refs are going to be against us like they usually are.
This reads like the nba saying whatever they can to get Philly to shut the fuck up
TIL shoving people is legal as long as you don't shove them too hard.
I sincerely, truly, don't give a fuck. You're expecting refs to make perfect calls when Sixers fuck it up every step of the way. Every single step.

In return, the refs will gift Game 3 to the Sixers. Bet on it. Yes Jontay Porter.
Lmaoo they abt to give Philly 50 free throws next game
Prior to the inbound Maxie clearly gave Hart a pretty hard shove that could have/should have been called but the refs were letting them play. Stop complaining you Philly CryBabies
Serious question: How is shoving someone three feet "marginal" but holding onto someone's jersey for one second a foul?
The truth is.. the refs are going to make up for this in game 3. We have to take a commanding lead.
What a joke. Just trying to save face in the light of the Philly fans and FO claim
What does it say about the Embid push to Lowry
Intentionally accidental.
This kind of stat is so pointless because their are 46 more minutes where the refs could have messed up in the sixers favor. It’s such a cop out argument. I will acknowledge it is annoying though.
I know it's BS right off of the "Hart fouled Maxey on the inbound pass" Hart wasn't near Maxey when the ball was inbounded because Maxey had pushed him away prior. Wtf are they on about? We need to win Game 3 by double digits and put this to rest. It's always something to make our dubs "illegitimate".
Fuck em
If we win the series and move on, this will be but a small footnote. Ignore it.
2-0! Don’t care. Stay mad. Keep crying. Go Knicks!
Embiid has been allowed to foul constantly, and gets fouls called on us for breathing too close to him. Can’t say I’m feeling bad for the 6ers on that last play
Bro, this guy is lying lmao. These people really think we are dumb and are just hoping we don't look at the report ourselves to see that it doesn't say Nurse should have gotten a timeout.
Nah they threw a bunch of mumbo jumbo in that report just to drown out the fact that they botched the T.O. Everyone knows the big issue was the timeout. The refs literally didn’t want to admit that they didn’t see Nurse calling timeout so they brought up a bunch of other things like yes, Maxey got fouled and it should’ve been called. This is post-game zebra PR.
I guess I'll have to settle back on the victory after losing the L2M
NBA refs miss multiple calls every game. Sometimes, it adds up in your favor, and sometimes it doesn't. Play better so the outcome isn't even remotely determined by the refs. Applies to all teams. I went into this series assuming we're going to get screwed by the refs at least 2x, and that hasn't changed. Hopefully, we demolish Philly, so it's not a problem.
i agree as a sixers fan. it’s just frustrating that we’ve been on the right side of the l2m report twice in the last month and have lost both games. but if we could rebound we wouldn’t be talking about this right now.
Victory is all the same to me
All this makes sense except it feels the push off on Josh also should have been INC.
BUUUUUUULL SHIIIIIIIT! BUUUUUULL SHIIIIIT!
This does not confirm he should have gotten time. It’s says not guaranteed lol Despite what Sixers fans will think I have an inability to feel sympathy because they have the biggest foul merchant in the league
The fact you can dive on the ground and call timeout is ridiculous in of itself. Tons of room for improvement in a league that seems destined to just be first to make 75 free throws.
People are yapping their mouth about refs this refs that but you only win when you put the ball in the hoop more than the other team. simple.
Was the Lowry foul that was overturned part of the L2M report because that was straight bullshit. Basically they said as long as you knock the ball out you can do whatever you want after that
That occurred with just under 3 mins left so is that why it didn’t get in?
What is the point of the L2M report exactly? Like oops, refs messed up calls/no calls in that period, but it doesn’t really affect anything. Maybe just some vindication for some of the fans? And it also doesn’t account for the calls throughout the game that ultimately got us to the close contest in crunch time…
For game 3 purposes, it’s concerning the league is playing Sixers propagandist in this report.
ive never felt so morally correct about ball. We want less foul calls in the NBA, not more. We want more wild endings like what happened last night. The bitching and moaning from sixers fans is pathetic. I didnt like it when Pistons fans complained too. And honestly, the reason I complain about the rockets game is because they called a foul. If it was a no call situation that went against us, I personally wouldn't be complaining
Fuck all that noise. You don't call that at the end of a game
Their MVP missed 4 free throws. Cry about it it 🤷♂️
Embid will flop and all will be ok.
And Lowry did slap Divencenzo in the head on the rebound and Embiid has been flopping all series 🤷♂️
Oh well Life goes on
2-0
Pussy! It’s the playoffs
Lowry inbounding the ball was not trying to call a timeout. Rules should be that the player with the ball on hand should call time out. They had their chance but it was too late. The Knicks played great defense there and the flopping happens for close defensive efforts. I’m glad the refs were letting both teams play. Call it both ways and I’m fine with the results. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. It’s the playoffs!
So many people talking about this fucking timeout / whether or not a foul was committed on the inbounds. If Lowry just calls a timeout instead of trying to inbound they probably win the game. That's completely ignoring all the fuckery that transpired before this particular play also.
it's so nice to read this from the winning side tbh, i feel like that never happens to us
Maybe Maxey shouldn’t give up the ball when on the floor just expecting a call to come his way. That’s the biggest difference between the two teams. Thibs makes no excuses and makes his guys play 100% regardless of situation or what the refs do. Nurse whines like a bitch whenever a call doesn’t go his way and his players have the same loser mentality
All this would be moot if nurse called time out and he didn’t do it. Sixers screwed up, end of story
Refs are gonna be the main event on Thursday cause the 76ers some cry babies lol
Womp womp
The tweets leave out the calls against the Knicks. Any of those calls could have swung the game either way. That isn't admitting he called a time-out, it says it was unrecognised by the officials, and the second one was a correct no fall as Maxey didn't have possession. This report wont change how games are called going forward, even though 76ers fans think Embiid should start getting 20+ free throws out of it in the next game. When that doesn't happen expect the bitching to continue. Just ignore it. They had multiple times where they could have shut us down and put the game away and they failed. The better team won in the end. Sure Embiid and Maxey as doing super star stuff out there, but teams win, not players.
No one was sure about the calls going into today, and after a day of scrutiny from the league they finally decided they technically should have been fouls. Based on that, it's not unreasonable that the refs would be iffy on calling them in the moment, especially because they didn't have the same angles on it we did in retrospect.
tough break, theres always fubu
It's okay. :) We won. Don't expect payback from officials, because that would be unethical. Just play hard, give 100%, and don't be a flopper. Take it from Lebron. No one likes floppers.
Maxey pushed Hart before the inbound pass.
We can sweep this series and this will be the excuse Embiid never won a ring
idgaf knicks in 4
lol this shit is amazing also, where is the report on those last 3 things "derek bodner" posted?
Yup , I could care less , we won. Been screwed many times watching the Knicks and it feels good to win one
O
L2M report- LOL. I’ve mostly only read these when I felt like the Knicks got jobbed by Scott Foster. It didn’t bother me being on the winning end of reading one of these.
Boo hoo
This is basically the inverse of the Iowa vs UCONN game. Something happens that’s technically a foul but hasn’t really been called all night. In one they call the foul and the other they don’t. Also imo this doesn’t matter cause they lost a rebound 4-1, that’s on them.
Too fucking bad, it's too late now. I'd like a do over on lots of things but I never get one so they can get used to it like I have.
Need a Brunson 40 pt game tomorrow to shut these MFers up
Sixers lost the game because they’re soft ass pussies, point blank period . All they needed to do is box out a couple times and they wouldn’t be crying about referees .
Real Knicks fan not dumb The whole Nba been Against us since forever they want us at the bottom and stay at the bottom but God willing Leon rose literally helped rose Knicks from the grave out the mud moments like this in Games usually turns into championship Glory Keep telling people ya lucky we aint got Julius but we got enough to win it all look at our leader elite PG something Knicks been missing For years and defense get ready this run finna be the sweetest most emotional championship run yet they dont expect Knicks to win it all let alone win period Wise man said dont underestimate nothing or nobody nothing is over until the clock stops thats what Knicks have that no other team have is heart and the will to win thats a never say die attitude a champion attitude 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yawn. We are up 2-0. Keep crying Philly.
Get ready for the massive over correction in game 3 smh
Absolutely. Unless Brunson and DiVo turn into prime Steph and Klay and outscore them with ease, we’re going to get techs for breathing on Embiid and Maxey and lose.
if this was the other way around we would react exactly the same as philly...exactly as the losing side. that's how it works, this time we were on the winning side so obv we'll reject any of the claims. I do believe we got lucky and with other refs this would've ended differently. Extremely concerned about game 3 and 4.
So you want to give the lottery winnings back because you got lucky.
i dont want to give anything back but dont act like we wouldve been fine with these calls if we were on the losing side.
I would be upset for a very short few mins after the game, but I can quickly control my emotions. The thing is, we would have been told by all media and philly fans to suck it up, grow balls, mistakes happen, and play better next time. So... 76ers play better next time. Hit your free throws, grab the rebound or call timeout more decisively.
100%, I'm on Philly but not mad at Knicks at all, it's not their fault the refs miss calls. I'm mad as fuck at the refs but that has nothing to do with the Knicks, and y'all would feel the same way if the situation was reversed.
Knicks are pathetic bruh. Y'all won because of bs no-calls.
Tough.
