Knicks just defended home court. Won the ones they are supposed to win. If they steal one in Philly, then we can gloat.

When*

What play are they complaining about? The last play was fine and literally nothing should have been called. Maxey fell expecting to be fouled but never got fouled.

Anyone with an IQ over room temperature knows that...which obviously doesn't include the whiny Sixers and their fans.

I never fully understood the Tobias Harris hate from Philly. I get it now. Guy is useless.

5 guys

I know he’s the oldest dude on our team and has ice cold Serbian blood but I’m proud of Bogey. We’ve needed every drop of what he’s delivered for us. He has figured out how to come in short minute bursts and provide critical momentum plays. Just in the Knick of time too.

To be fair, he's getting unfairly skewered for that iHart offensive rebound when that is clearly on Embiid. Of course, it's never Joel's fault.

Wild that Donte is shooting 50% on game winning threes for us in the post season.

Unsung moment is how cool OG keeps it after DDV hits the 3. He just walks back to the huddle like he’s seen that happen 100 times and still having business to take care of. That dude does not get rattled or up or down ever. Saw it when he sunk those FTs like it ain’t no thang after seemingly not shooting a FT in months of game action.

That Brunson 3 has some Kawhi game 7 vibes to it ngl

The PTSD is probably why Joel was nearly in tears during the post game interview. The only was hell recover is if he forces his way here on a good deal.

They can't help but to flop.

Bold face lie.

Can't read the Tweet but Philly had a timeout to use before Lowry's pass to Maxey with 16 seconds left.

Some really questionable coaching decisions by Nurse in the last two games. With 30 seconds left in game 1, Philly let NY use 24 seconds of clock.

In Game 2, up 5 with 47 seconds left, Philly let NY get off two 3's. In both cases, putting NY on the line for two shots could have paid dividends.

For all the heroics, my favorite play was watching Maxey jump up to bobble the inbounds pass, Josh Hart pull his back hands right to his hips, and then "yoink" it right away from Maxey. Such a headsy way to spoil Maxey's big night.

Reading all the comments here post game is always a delight.

gradyandrew @ 4/23/2024 4:28 AM
Batum failed to box out Hartenstein on the last offensive rebounds. Perfect example of why you can't decide in game 85 that you are going to finally focus on rebounding better.
gradyandrew @ 4/23/2024 4:31 AM
DDV fouling Lowry at the 47 second mark was also a huge play.
gradyandrew @ 4/23/2024 4:37 AM
Embiid's press comments were a total joke. Maxey pushed Hart in the chest to get separation and then Brunson grabbed his waist. If you are going to complain about the grab, you also need to admit it was preceded by an offensive foul. Nick Nurse called for time out after Josh already had the ball. I hope the NBA fines him.Sour grapes.
gradyandrew @ 4/23/2024 4:41 AM
"Well, the first thing is obviously they score," Nurse said. "We take a look at getting it in quick. We don't get it in quick. I call timeout. Referee looked right at me. Ignored me. Went into Tyrese, I called timeout again. Then the melee started.

This is also a bald faced lie. I hope he gets fined. I can't tell what he said but he didn't signal time out until Josh had the ball.

gradyandrew @ 4/23/2024 5:25 AM
Can anyone take Nick Nurse seriously? This douchebag is signaling for a jump ball after Batum pushed OG Anuoby out of bounds. I really hope the NBA officials come out hard after him and Embiid for their easily disprovable lies.
