When youâre someone who watched the Knicks play all season you know if the Knicks had Randle they wouldâve been nba finals bound because of their grit & high IQ play. Losing Randle placed a ceiling on our success.. we wouldâve won in 5 with Randle in the line up. We are the deepest team in the league
They should have put Robinson back in the fourth when we were up to seal it
Real MVP should to make his teammates better. Embid dont do that. In this case, it is not important if he have 30 or 40 points when others in team have 0 points!! Beacuse of that Jokic is MVP. He cane make solid player even from the stone.
Maxy was great during the series but game 6 he choked. I don't blame him he's young. Harris on the other hand needs to be traded !
When the national media going to talk about Tobias Harris like they talk about Joel Embiid? He makes just as much money.
This tells me universally people do not respect Julius Randle enough but Jalen Brunson is HIM
Oubre is a hooper. Got my respects this year
Barely mentioned Donte, never mentioned OGâs incredible two-way game.
Said Knicks had 20 more off rebounds in the game (it was 4).
Said Deuce hit several big shots (made one in 9 minutes played).
Said Sixers were up 7 (it was 10).
Iâm not sure Jason intently watches some of these games. Just check the boxscore better at least.
Bizarre series? How about great series?

Great series as a Celtics fan one of better series so far & only round 1.
Amare Stoudemire averaged 20+ every year in Phoenix with Nash.
Also, you think OKC might give up anyone for 36 year old statue Brook Lopez đ.
Spouting a lot of nonsense on this one.
Wait, what are they going to say abt Brunsons efficiency? He shot 48 percent from the field and 37.5 from 3 today. He shot 47 last game. He shot 52 in game 4. Those are extremely efficient numbers for a 6'1 guard. A far cry from Iverson's 42% percent field goal average. There's no comparison.
lol at philly fans
Brunson headbutts were new.
Aside from my team advancing, I am so GLAD I don't have to watch Embiid get phantom foul calls for 48 minutes straight đ„Ž
They wouldnât even have been in the game a lot of the time it wasnât for oubre big shot or big play he was constantly changing the energy throughout game and coming up huge
I admit that I donât like Embiid. Others like me can dunk on him for being such an epic post season failure but my god I just feel bad for him at this point. Dude is a disaster
Yup the face you made in the beginning i want all the knicks haters to have that stale face all the way to the chip
Really pushing that runtime with the opening and the ad
TJ McConnell was the key to that pacers series
@13m âtheir length really bothered Brunson from behindâ PAUSE đ
Big mistake from Doc Rivers to change the cover on Jalen Bronson. Maxie was the right guy to cover him, is much quicker than bronson, very athletic and can block him from behind if he passes him. |t worked very well for like 2 games when bronson had a low point average for him in the series. I never thought Doc was a good coach. One rule that he should know, don't change something that works. Anyway, happy the knicks edge the sixers, I'm rooting for the knicks and the nuggets… i hope they don't meet in the finals otherwise i will have a problem… lol.. ok, a good problem to have but conflicting.
Brunson scoring 35+ a night isn't gonna be sustainable when/if they meet the Celtics in the conference finals. He'll be facing REAL PERIMETER DEFENDERS each play. There's no weakness in Boston's starting five on the defensive end.
Bucks. It's over. Sixers. It's over.
Mailbag – Does NY do something schematic to achieve its high offensive rebounding?
I agree with Ed Kiely in chat — Embiid needs to get his weight down to 265-270 or trade him. Hakeem is the perfect example of body weight. He was 7-0 and weighed 255. Embiid at 7-2 ideally should be 265 at the most. Less stress on his legs/joints etc. He either commits to this or trade him.
Kelly also fell which help with the time
What's funny is the type of shorter, stockier, uber laterally quick defender that can get over top of screens and flatten out driving lanes is exactly what the Knicks own Deuce McBride is. You're saying the Sixers needed a Deuce McBride to stop Jalen Brunson. đ
Give Kelly and Nicholas their credit for playing some of the most aggressive defense possible.
