Knicks v 76ers Game 3 Postgame Coach And Player Reaction | New York Knicks

[@nickrusso2910]

Elbid is a dirty player, period, cowards play that way. Mitch could have been seriously hurt. The Knicks are men, they are going to win this series

[@bdwilliams2718]

Worst then Embiid dirtiness, is the blatant lack of mention it’s getting. Anyone else would have been ejected. His immediate reaction after showed his intent

[@scottwolf6213]

Dirty players sadly win playoff series..gotta fight back..not dirty but fight the right way..stand your ground ..lets go knicks..they eatin clowns for sunday dinner

[@jeffreyvargas3849]

I’ll be at the game on Tuesday at the garden. I will definitely be letting Embid hear our lovely chant for him!

[@MrThesupremeking]

Mitch should have landed on Joel knee when he pulled him

Im a philly fan and u are right,cant wait till hes outta here

[@CancunMimosa]

Embiid is an embarrassment to the game.

[@AmandaabnamA]

They drag the hell out of that 2 minute report, but ignore FLAGRANT FLAGRANTS. THE NBA is a disgrace

[@jabilda]

But there was no change from that 2 min, right? That was a sixer win in a playoff game that was given to the Knicks

[@bluegreenwoodtiger]

Knicks got to play with fire urgency! Now or never as the Knicks are the better team! Knicks in 5!!

[@verified.my2cents]

MY2CENTS RANT: W/ Embid & Nurse's whining after game 2, I expected the refs to favor the sixers in GM 3 BUT not calling the clear flag 2 on Embid (full intent against Mitchy) shortly after he knees iHart in the midsection was a joke. Then, gifting him 21 free throw attempts, of course he's the first player to score 50 on 13 fg's & 5 3's in a playoff - this is where the league pisses me off...I don't mind losing, but BS is BS. Salute & Peace. LETS GO KNICKS

[@sinceresplash6932]

The NBA has to address that Frenchy situation, flagrant 2!!! They knew it they'd play dirty! The Knicks are tough, we don't play dirty. This can only go 1 way now 👊🏾

[@rawshutdowncity9226]

Y'all hear those Knick fans in the stands!!!?? 76ers definitely don't like that 😂😂😂 we got em game 4!! #weeverywhere

It didn’t even seem like a sixer home game from the broadcast I watched 😂 pathetic

[@rawshutdowncity9226]

Told you..

[@drdomonisahurley]

Embid should have been ejected for pulling on Mitch legs while he was up in the air. That’s not a basketball play!

[@logicsir5257]

After the man just had surgery on his foot 🦶

[@Para.T.]

💯💯💯 definitely should've bee ejected. But since they were in Philly getting rid of Joel would've caused mayhem. Refs weren't tryna deal with that. 💯. Flagrant 2 fosho

[@CancunMimosa]

He pulled him down and pushed him in two distinct moments of the play. What a fucking loser. Easiest flagrant 2 call ive ever seen.

[@christianconroy7278]

As frustrating as those dirty plays were by embiid (and trust me I’m steamed about it) towards the Knicks… we have to continue to play the right way and keep our heads up! Continue to show them grit, tenacity, togetherness, and composure! If we do that we can win this series!

[@lilianpascal3837]

We support you guys. Go Knicks! God bless

[@nuclearlung]

Josh hart hit the nail in the head, who would’ve cared about the loss. But that embiid play was reckless.

[@Desman228]

WE WILL WIN ON SUNDAY AND WIN CONVINCINGLY

If Mitch's ankle is a flagrant one , then knees are fair. Knicks better come out mad and game win 4 play a perfect game because the NBA is against them.

[@johncummings5350]

Its amazing that they cater to a childish and dangerous player like Embid......is that play against Robinson something you want to showcase to young kids learning basketball??? That play was hideous.

[@shabazz360]

Oh this is the point where y’all start pretending Joel injured Mitchell on that play huh ?

[@realitycheck2482]

@@shabazz360are you stupid? That is exactly when he got hurt. Embid is big goofy ass dirt ball. He’s an embarrassment. 76ers fans should be embarrassed. The refs should be embarrassed for allowing him to get away with multiple flagrant fouls and at the same time sent him to the line 21 times on mostly incidental, marginal ticky tack stuff. That game was a complete joke. Embid is a complete joke. His knee deserves to disintegrate and it will.

[@daquanjohnson66]

@@shabazz360tried too. Can’t denied that Or at best case, let his emotions control him to put Mitch in a position where he could have been hurt really bad

[@noodle123ify]

Any other player would have been tossed for doing what Embiid did. He knocked Mitch out of the game with that trash move. Play hard, no problem, but don't deliberately try to hurt someone. Same with Lowry, dude straight up just smacked Donte in the face, he was nowhere near the ball! Totally crazy

[@yaweli2968]

Batum is allowed to Tag Branson’s shirt all game- it’s called marginal contact. You breathe on Embiid, oh wait, you are in his landing space- free throws.

[@jerryfitz3371]

Thibs has forgotten more about basketball than I know but I’d have OG guard Embiid at the top of the key, get up on him so he won’t have those wide open threes. This way IHart and Mitch can be the help defender on his drives. Need to contest this dirty player outside and inside.

[@apap1586]

Of course the NBA responded to the cry babies... One man have more free throws than the whole team. Adam silver's NBA.

[@johncummings5350]

Its horrible...... the officiating is so bad.....its like a circus.... another game the refs controlled with their bias.

[@jimmynibbs6746]

It goes without saying that Embiid is a dirty player, and in my humble opinion the league should take a look at what he did and suspend him for the next game. Embiid basically tried to destroy an NBA asset that being Robinson. All that said, and I know that this will be disputed, but Embiid is also an intelligent player. He knows how to get in the head of other players and use it to his advantage. Example, him saying that they’re the better team and that they’ll win the series etc. Granted, his antics are those of a weak person, so the Knicks have to show resolve and keep playing tough because he’s intimidated by the Knicks toughness.

[@agentsuperargo5023]

As a Knicks fan I'm even more upset today after witnessing three ejections during the playoffs last night. Westbrook, PJ Washington from Clippers and Dallas game and Okegie from Phoenix and Timberwolves game... neither one of these ejections were as egregious as the foul on Mitchell Robinson who is now injured...go figure. Thank you Oakley for being the bodyguard for this team.🗽

[@singerspeak1]

Knicks gotta win Sunday's game or Philly will be confident they'll win the series! Remember..before Embiid got injured, they were teetering between 2nd and 3rd place. After his injury, the sixers fell down the ranks. It's gonna be a dogfight. I hope my Knicks figure out how to stop Embiid. Maybe put Deuce on Embiid so he can steal the ball down low😂.🧡💙

[@bluegreenwoodtiger]

Philly won’t make past 2nd if they beat the Knicks but it’s not happening! Knicks in 5!!

[@brodssn]

Strange how Embiid doesn’t get a flagrant 2. Fans and analysts call for him to be suspended game 4 and within minutes an article comes out revealing he has Bell’s palsy. Must be a coincidence.

[@HUGANOMICS4LIFE]

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED!!!!!!

Game 4 Bring The 🔥♨️🔥

[@GraitBritton]

The so called "better team than the knicks" had to knee Ihart in the family jewels,damn near scratch Divo eye out and slam over 290 pounds on Mitch ankles to get a win. This is the so called better team. Where as the team of "2nd round picks and role players" with the heart of champions whooping on "The most improved player of the year" and "The leagues MVP." Nasty Work,but no fear no complaining just fighting to the finish.

[@AssassinKing30]

Let's just forget this game and focus on game 4, what happened happened already and there's nothing we can do about it #KnicksIn5

[@larryadams8862]

Put Sims in, let him pull on Embilds bad knee a few times and foul out.

Everytime embiid flops or is shooting free throws, all the knick fans behind the bench should do the flopping signal.

At least Embiids take down had no impact on the game. Maxey was mugged in the last few minutes. Knicks are dirty😂😂😂

[@mikescorpio1108]

Embiid and the Sixers dared the officials to call fouls on them. It worked, because the officials succumbed.

[@antfloshop836]

Zach Zarba is a Brooklyn fan. He should never be reffing Knicks games. Look at the games he refs throughout the years. He always calls a ton of fouls against Knicks. Zach Zarba reffing a Knicks game would be like a company auditing themselves. It's a major compliance issue.

@OfficialNBARefs @heyadamsilver @KnicksFanTv @NY_KnicksPR Unacceptable . What constitutes a violation is the degree in which the behavior is Basketball related or Not; this was not , in fact this looked more Football than "playing the right Basketball way" the foul was a Flagrant 1 and Embiid's mean spirited un-warranted attempted blind sided submarine that should be fined and suspended. Totally NO WHERE in the NBA does this fly Imo their will be reprecustions.
