[@dominiquebrown2890]

They are underperforming. In particular, joel embiid. He does not do well in the playoffs. He has now allowed kawhi, brunson, trae young, and tatum outplay him in the playoffs

[@jensenat]

​@@dominiquebrown2890 no. They are not. They are facing a better team. The Knicks have beaten the 76ers six times in eight attempts. This is no fluke. The Knicks are simply better than the 76ers even while missing an all star and bench rotation players. They are that good, but is something the rest of the league, that don't watch the Knicks regularly is still trying to process and still can't accept.

[@somersetbassett4580]

Dray, you owe Knicks Center an apology for helping Philly ignore Embiids dirty tantrums 💯

[@parisandzainabu]

It’s funny because Jalen is a lot like Green where he had to prove himself and was underestimated his whole career crazy how Green forgot his own journey and is being oddly harsh about simple respecting the incredible few years this man has had lifting a franchise to places others couldn’t. This ain’t his coming out party he has a few years of consistently showing up

[@MancalaHours]

Cutting the audio out the ad at the end is the move. 👏

[@javerstubbs7809]

Joel Embiid is gassed in the fourth quarter, Jalen is your fourth quarter man big difference

[@andellbrown1239]

There is no second round if you don't win the first round. He is doing what it takes to win the game in front of him. The Knicks have won in so many different ways this season, they are versatile and will adapt based on their opponent.

[@drizzho]

Brunson wasn’t on the team when Trae beat them

[@Hitemup744]

LET'S GO KNICKS 🏀 NY

[@drizzho]

You really come off as a Brunson hater, you picked the 76ers and Brunson becomes the first player to go for 80+ points and 20+ assists in back to back games and you still think he can’t be a 1a. Unbelievable. It’s right in front of you.

[@tecklerrorywilliamsfrankso5470]

I respect your take. I’m a major Knicks fan, you are playing at the highest level. And someone watching the game of course I’m going to support my team and player. Salute to you man i live here in So Cal.

[@robertalston4609]

Reed should start with Embiid for defense and rebounding. Why can't coach figure that out? Play Reed at PF!

Joel has to be better ? You literally said who is gona stop Joel in this series 😂... Im out..

[@patrickweber3954]

Any truth to the rumor that your teammate Klay Thompson might get traded to the Los Angeles Lakers?

[@cenellmettle601]

Waiting for you to say you were wrong about the 76ers winning the series. Joel is not the best player in this series! It’s Brunson! . Clearly! And why can’t you just tip your hat to them and leave it at that. Backhand compliments for the Knicks and Brunson! A lot of hate.

[@jj47k.]

100%Knicks hater

[@cardieny_2xcameron298]

lol they only had 92 points because the Knicks locked them down. Defense is the Knicks identity this season “ grit “

[@ebizzle2507]

You're learning what the "OG effect"! Knicks are a different team when he is in the lineup and Brunson is doing his thing! Look at what he averaged in Miami series last year, The best!

[@irvinsanforduy2984]

JB had to be ball dominant last game, mainly cos everyone else in the Knicks couldn't score. How else would you want him to lead his team? 😅

[@bobinjc]

It's apparent that Draymond hasn't been watching JB this season. JB is and has been a dominant ball handler ALL season and teams have thrown all kinds of coverages at him. It sure seems obvious that a drop coverage may be about the worst the Sixers could have chosen in game 4, but don't tell me that 34 attempts are too many, JB was right to take what was being offered. JB has made the correct adjustments all season and we expect him to do the same in game 5. LGK!

[@matmurk8536]

The more Draymond talks about basketball the more I question his actual basketball IQ. Not that's it's bad cause it clearly isn't, but he's definitely lost some points in my eyes. He said several questionable things in this video alone.

[@mattjones6323]

If Joel come up he go by him

[@trucker286]

All you have to do is look at every other top team in the playoffs. Every single other team has at least 2 all stars. Brunson is doing this 💩 by himself. People need to stop hating. How can you say embid is the best player in this series when he is hurt. If he wasn't hurt, then no question he's the best player in this series, but been that he is hurt, gtfoh stop Hating. Brunson is the best player in this series. Let's go, Knicks!!!! P.s. how's cancun ?

[@willieneal6312]

Dray, respectfully we didn’t know if you’d even be in the league man, but your hard work made you who you are today! with that being said, Jb, is like that bruh, he’s a proven problem, knicks actually might make the finals man, who else is beating Jb in the east? Mitchell, nah bro he’s not like that, Tatum? I call that brotha tough shot taking Tatum, that man is great asf but he will lose you games because he doesn’t know how to put the ball in the basket during those specific moments… so who else is out east? 😂 brown? Sorry bruh Jaylen is getting paid 60 million$ for 19pts & 6 boards, aye nah man knicks in 7

[@trucker286]

NY STAND UP !!!

[@williamferraro6581]

Come one, man. If Jalen isn't a legitimate first option on a championship team, after averaging nearly 29 pts per game and being a beast in the playoffs two years in a row, then who is? Only a handful of current players have won an NBA championship as the 1A top scoring threat on their team. Less, if you don't count Durant (who had Curry). So if Jalen isn't a 1A, it's a smalllll class of guys. Also: Jalen is the top threat on a team that is currently missing its two time all NBA power forward. And STILL winning.

[@jj47k.]

Just say you were wrong smh

[@DannyintheSpirit]

If the Sixers can just somehow manage to win this game they go back home to Philly down 3-2. Come on Sixers!

[@kirwinnixon7656]

I was waiting for you today glad you didn't duck or hide but anyway Brunson is not doing this because he is ball dominant he has to do this cause there's no other sure sure creator or scorers on the team that can create there own shot on a consistent level you see in most case when he's off the floor just like Embiid is off the floor it's hard to produce buckets but atleast the Sixers got Maxi who else we got no one but by next season you will see a different Brunson with some big big help on the way him & Randle will be back & a disgruntled star off Cleveland, Clippers & you already hearing issues on the Phoenix Suns big 3.👍🏽

[@JustCountPixels]

Draymond keeps moving the goal post. First the Knicks weren’t going to win this series and the only way for Brunson to win is for him to score less and Donte, hart, bogie, etc to score 20+ each, we do it without that and now he’s saying it won’t work later rounds. Next round when we do it against the pacers he’s going to say it won’t work in the ECF. Come on man, just say you weren’t familiar with JBs game just like the rest of the league.

[@calebsims1999]

[@ViiRaLx713]

[@jimjohnson5118]

The Warriors screwed up by keeping this dude and trading Poole. He's disruptive to the team. He takes his own teammates out of their game. Brunson is part of the Future of the NBA. Green is like a disruptive out of control employee that everyone would like to forget about. Nobody wants to hear this dudes thoughts or opinions. FOH... Warriors need to cut him and take the loss.

[@ElTuco84]

Do you really think they can turn this around?? Nurse has tried everything, he already doubled Brunson earlier in the series and the Knicks role players cooked. NY has way more depth, Sixers on the other hand, Hield is not even playing, Tobias??

[@WrongVsWright]

This series is all about effort. Knicks are rebounding and playing with much more grit and tenacity than sixers. These are things that come down to effort, not coaching. If the Sixers played with the same effort it wouldn't be close. How many offensive rebounds did the Knicks get last game

[@dexx222]

@@WrongVsWright seriously how many did JOSH HART get alone

[@vishwateja2801]

Bro talk about the mavs vs clippers series. That is the most interesting one

[@HoopReactor]

They copied the dynamics of Warriors with Donte and Hart and it's working. Is Brunson more unstoppable/effective than Steph was in his prime? I don't believe so. Is donte better than klay in his prime? I dont believe so. Is Hart better than dray in his prime? Probably.... not too. But are they going to win games with a winning system/coach? Probably. When will their height disadvantage in the NBA cut their trip short? Idk... depends on if any tall guys can shoot at a professional basketball level...

[@HoopReactor]

NBA wasted the opportunity for a Coast to Coast NBA Finals here by allowing Warriors to be unionized out of the playoffs...

[@HoopReactor]

With that said... Warriors gotta get someone that can go Coast to Coast for 48 minutes without any defense at least AND with defense ideally... not sure Joel is it at this point...

[@HoopReactor]

The funny thing going on about Philly is they're playing the "just hanging in there for a shot" game but they don't have anyone that's decisively better to get them over that hump which MIGHT have been Embiid if he didn't get injured...

[@HoopReactor]

Maxey on cue maybe... someone add the "LFG" Stat to the box score...

[@HoopReactor]

But does anyone REALLY want to get THAT detailed to be adding a "LFG" Stat line except maybe Spo. But did he REALLY want to get that detailed...
