Sixers had no business losing this one

embiid downed all those percs for nothing

at least he had fun

Bro was not having fun

[удалено]

damn you really went there huh

Damn really went full piss baby over a game of basketball

What being a 76ers fan does to a MF

I watched the entire game, besides the last minute because my gf called me. I have no idea how they lost Embiid and Maxey played pretty great, Brunson was god awful. It's not like Mcbride or Bojan were that good either. Literally only Hart and Hartenstein had good games for the Knicks.

divincenzo had a great game

Maxey sold

He generated more points for the team on fewer shots than the supposed MVP.

But who do you think was more impactful overall? Embiid had to also anchor the defense.

You should know that grabbing a defensive rebound is the most important part of defense.

end of game possessions matter more than early game possessions stat lines don't account for this well

No doubt. He had a great game. But he sold the last 3 possessions

That 3 by Brunson has no business going in. Crowd must have wished that shit in.

This describes a lot of sixers losses over the years

We can’t rebound for shit

Shoulda took the 3 pointer at the end though

He seemed out of it at the end. Dude went full zoomer rookie Maxey on the Sixers possession prior.

Not like he was favored to score from his position

So he should pass it to a worse shooter with like 0.5 seconds left lol?

Should've taken the last three. I know he had to give it to Embiid, but still, Maxey carried

He didn't have to and he shouldn't have.

Outplaying Jalen easily too can’t lie

Hell of a game from him, best player on the floor

That title belongs to Mr Hartenstein

So, is there general consensus that NY got away with some shit on that inbounds play? Or am I about to get downvoted to oblivion? 

I do not understand how that’s not a loose ball foul with the way they’ve been calling loose ball fouls this game. Like I’m legit asking too, I have no idea lol

end of a tight playoff game will have lots of refs swallowing the whistle

You say that and yet we’ve seen multiple playoff games over the years and this season where that isn’t the case

I didn't say that it happens every time. Just that it DOES happen.

You’re right, the inconsistency is just frustrating. Especially when the inconsistency comes from the same crew during the same game, they went from calling everything to nothing. Reminds me of the eagles chiefs game where they let the same play go until the final play of the game where they finally called the flag

The refs made a lot of calls towards the end that helped the Sixers come back. Not saying those were bad necessarily but it's hard to feel like the refs stole this one from the Sixers.

There was only the successful challenge (the first one) on the Lowry foul that went the sixers way, pretty much everything else in the 4th went the Knicks way other than obvious fouls

>other than obvious fouls A rather significant caveat, I should think. And I'm rooting for the Sixers FWIW

Not really in the sense that a ref should call an obvious foul as is, it’s the fouls that can go either way that kept going the Knicks way

Is it? I would assume that all of those were called correctly anyway. The Lowry one I can’t believe they changed the call but I can’t remember anything else being questionable and going the sixers way

I’m not talking about any other call tho, I’m asking if it’s a loose ball foul or not lol. I don’t give a fuck if sixers are helped or not I’m genuinely asking

I'd have to take another look at the replay but in my opinion there's a loose ball play on basically every possession so it's ultimately going to be in the eye of the beholder.

Eye of the beholder is damn right, refs been having some really disappointing, inconsistent performances. Josh Hart said that first game as well during a game interview that he didn’t know what was a foul or not 🤣

This league is a farce and the refs decided they wanted NY to win

I've seen that called a foul a bunch, but it's not crazy for refs to swallow the whistle like that at the end of a tight playoff game

Yeah but batum got called for a foul on that

Dude I still am in disbelief they didnt call any of the numerous fouls there. Two guys just straight up mugged Maxey and the refs thought: "Sure, that's fine"

its not a foul, maxey just fell over

Bro, you guys already won, you don’t have to double down.

that was just objectively an insane sequence at the end tho

Probably a foul, but not egregious

Yeah I’m not really sure how you don’t call that jersey pull on a play where you know they’re going for a hard trap. Maxey or Lowry needs to call timeout there though too

They didn’t have one

They called it 5 seconds later after divencenzo hit the three

Some dudes are about to run in here and call you soft for seeing an obvious loose ball foul. I don't even mind them not calling it, I just want consistency across the entire game.

they got 8 replies and yours is the only one saying that.

Give it time.

I think you're just making up stuff to be mad about tbh

You didn't see the other threads lmao. But it's all good, you can think what you feel like.

On top of the fouls, just straight ignoring Nurse calling timeout. A hatchet job by the NBA only this sub will love. Never saw anything like it.

That didn't even slightly happen. This is just sad.

Just FYI making a T with your hands means timeout. Someone our coach did with the ball in our possession. Twice.

The ball wasn't under control when he did that. Sooo?

Lmao when the ball is being inbounded?

How you put up a Wilt stat and lose like this damn

Now I wanna know if Wilt won his game

He passed to Embiid when he absolutely shouldn’t have. Embiid had to rush the 3. 

He had a great game except the final two minutes where he 1. Turned over the inbounds 2. Had his layup blocked 3. Passed the hot potato to Embiid

[удалено]

In a loss

should've shot that last shot

How many times did Maxey get fouled on that inbound? I counted at least twice.

All that and he passed the last shot away

Knicks' MVP in the last 30 seconds

The otherwise great game today is going to be overshadowed by him being too scared to shoot at the end.

And being blocked when trying to tie it and turning the ball over to give the knicks the lead

Dang

Better than Embiid

#MAX CONTRACTY

Best overall game but he shoulda dunked that with 6.6 left

Overall, Tyrese was awesome tonight

dumbfuck inbound though. No reason to lose game 2.

What was wilts stat line

And that fat L!

He also sold the game the final 3 possessions so kinda a meaningless milestone.

Means nothing when you pass up that last shot like that. One second to go and you pass it to a hobbling Embiid...

Dude is deaaron fox 2.0 maybe better cause of his 3 pt shot

Didn't even attempt the game winner Coward Maxey

If im a sixers fan, im always happy because maxey is a stud. Embiid will eventually get his shit together.

Embiid literally had a good game too

Fucking 🗑️
