Tobias with the 🍩 and $180 mill when you could have hard Butler for cheap. Who makes these stupid management decisions!

I don't think i ever seen OG this fired up.Usually his dunks are just a formality on a break often.This one on Joel felt like a nail in the coffin.

Better team won. ALL the Knicks players like their life depends on it. Embiid is amazingly but lazy. Maxey’s an offensive beast but his defensive ain’t good.

[@neiko9251]

Sure the Knicks blew a 22 point lead, but the Knicks had to be confronted by a team making 11 3pt’s in one quarter and the most godly defense I’ve seen in a quarter of play this season , got a 10 point lead and still beat them. If that doesn’t show you heart and will nothing will.

[@ebok33643]

Joel Embiid once again on cue, in the post season, when it mattered most (4th quarter) dropped a measly 6 points and took 1 rebound. At home too!!! G1: 5pts, G2: 6pts, G4: 2pts, G5: 6pts. G4: 14pts (12FT with 8 intentional) Don’t get distracted by the injury clause. He scored 50 in G4 with no injury excuses. He consistently crashes in the 4th quarter in playoff deciders. Go and check his 10 year 4th quarter stats in playoff decider

[@Mamba4.8]

6 points in this game?

Na bro he almost had 40 it was Harris as usual
