Lakers just gave up Josh Hart for nothing
Nick Nurse pump-faked a timeout and expected the ref to notice.
Stop, Embiid is the farthest thing from a hero. He is an absolute villain to the league. The guy was calling himself the best big man in the NBA before he'd even played half a season. He's been a constant flopper and contact initiator but has the league rigged to giving him free throw calls.
He throws teammates under the bus consistently even after he personally screws things up. He also insanely selfish and has the entire team bend their system to fit him and still underperforms and blames others.
Joel's fall is one to be celebrated and a warning to not disrespect the game.
And harden doing good in clippers well harden is not the problem in sixers HAHAHHAHAAH
Zach gassing it right now 😂
What a joke, neither of those timeouts legit, what you expect in .5 seconds while ball is in middle of getting inbounded they're going to grant a TO? Or when your player has lost possession already on the floor? Please. How about boxing out Hartenstein. How about drawing up a better play than line driving Maxey at the hoop at end of game. How about inbounding more carefully in a playoff game.
Mind you, the Knicks have been without their Second option and All-Star since January and still killing.
Tragic hero? More like whiny victim
Coach Pop wanted Josh Hart from LA real bad in a trade, I believe it was for DeRozen. But Lakers refused, I was amazed they did that only to get frustrated when they package him for Russ.
F*cking Lakers deserves all the losses right now.
You like his head down no eye contact demeanor 😂 okay! Knicks in 5!
Always got excuses yall bums was up 101 to 96
Chiney stop trying to be extra level witty🙄. This isn't about college ball..
Can I get Zach Lowe's million dollar job? 'You know what Josh Hart is? Josh Hart is a basketball player'.
As much praise as Embid deserves for playing through injury we should be blaming the 76ers for letting him play cause he’s too far gone … Knicks in 4🔸🔹
Embiid can be a goat Robin. But he is not Batman
Took out butler for no f reason only beat heat by one ,its just so gross.Knicks will burn them, Miami princess 💄👸🏆🏆🏆😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Miami will throw hands kelly trash
The Philadelphia head coach should get fine for lying talking about. He called time out the ref ignore him that's a lie. You didn't have control of the ball for you to call time out Joel stop flapping?
The video has shown that Nick Nurse has lied. Minimal playoff contact at best. How about we acknowledge Maxy pushing Hart before the in bound.
Nikola Jokic>Anthony Davis>Joel Embiid
The refereeing in these playoffs is really an atrocity this year. The amount of stuff they're missing, the inconsistency, really really bad.
Thata good business NBA
It's the playoffs guys. Refs were consistent and letting things go. Toughen up or pack up and go home
Boo hoo!!! Let’s go Knicks!!!
Did she say the refs were star struck and gave the Knicks the benefit of the doubt? Gtfohwtbs! She gonna cry like embiid too? Let’s go Knicks!!
What are you showing the first one isnt a timeout his hands are apart he never called it then the second Maxey is literally throwing the ball away even in freeze frame lol thts not a timeout that should be granted sorry… lmao
Question they should be asking is why is Maxey throwing the ball away in that freeze frame lol in the most crucial moment when he should secure the ball and shoot Free Throws! and win Lol he does the opposite… thats why its not a timeout ask what in the world is Max3y doing..
The NBA admitted this was missed as well as the foul so hold those excuses chants
76ers should have signed boogie cousins as a vet backup for Embiid
They had one more shot and guess who shot with your feet planting a garden you embiid not the refs uou😮😮😮
Embiid and Hart are polar opposites. Hart is so much shorter, but gets tons more rebounds and tons more heart, he loves the moment where Embiid doesn’t have heart, hides behind injuries and excuses. Embiid is mentally weak and will never win anything substantial
This series is far from over. There's always a ton of hyperbole when the home team goes up 2-0. They wrote the same obituary for the Bucks in the Finals against the Suns. Unless Embiid doesn't go at all, I predict a 2-2 series going back to MSG.
Who typically scores around 5 points and takes no rebounds in the 4th quarter? JOEL EMBIID 😢
Stop crying we have been on that same end before
They’ve been doing this all season, the Knicks are the underdogs even as the 2nd seed. They have all stepped up massively and that’s what the playoffs is about. Who wants it more and who steps up the most as a team is the one who takes it home. Don’t be surprised if the Knicks take it all home
Calling him a tragic hero is crazy lmao
The knicks are the more complete team. When mentioning the 76ers it only ever maxey and embiid lol what about the rest of the team?? When you mention knicks you gotta bring up hart, Mitch, ihart, divo, deuce, bogey
the only thing that is unaseptable is that you allowed ihart to get that board in between 4 sixers
