Men lie, women lie, but numbers don’t: Jusef Nurkic, 3-17 in the playoffs. Worst win percentage in NBA history amongst players with 20 or more games played.

Jalen Brunson is THAT good and this matchup between the knicks v 76ers is 2nd round caliber. Bouncing out one of the NBA's best duos while missing your allstar is super tough!

[@shannonferguson5095]

Facts. Draymond says 1st round as if Philly would’ve been a 7th seed had Embiid didn’t miss games. Knicks are playing a 2nd round level team. Just an excuse to not admit he was wrong. Or, to continue selling Brunson short.

Hey Draymond, as a Warriors fan, it's been tough watching the team struggle and seeing some of the decisions made on the court. It's especially hard watching you critique other players when things haven't been perfect on our side either. I'm rooting for you to turn it around and show us what you're really capable of.

"The big softie" LMAOO

[@user-bk8gx3jd7i]

We got something from Rudy you can’t say about Draymond. His change of teams didn’t stop him from making his team the best defense. All this talk of him being bad but the stats say the exact opposite. The real difference is now he has another possible rim defender if he’s pulled out & he actually has wing defenders. Nobody on the Jazz could guard a fence post but somehow was the best defense in the league? Enough with the lazy narratives on him.

Moving the goal post on Brunson. He has to shoot as much as he is because of how are team is currently built. We don't have anyone else to create offense and help other players get involved... People have been telling Brunson since high school that he wasn't enough, and clearly he's been proving people wrong. People been counting our team out all year, and now we're up 3-1, you wanna talk about can he continue this. Instead of just giving the team their credit. In actuality, not in theory, you don't know what you're talking about. They didn't hold us to 97 pts, we held them to 92. We're not a high power offense. This whole series has been exactly how we like it. Slow, low scoring and gritty. Embid making it dirty but that's whatever. You clearly don't like the Knicks. Not once gave the team credit for doing what they've been doing this whole series, instead complained about what Philly was failing to do, and even gave them false credit defensively. Can't tune in to these bias takes anymore.
