YESSIR
This needs to end tonight! No playing around! I'm still haunted by 1997 - we were up 3-1 against the cHeat, they started the PJ Brown/Ward brawl and we know how we were robbed and cheated in that series. Expect Philly to play even dirtier! We must be poised and end these fuckers!
I smell blood ... the Garden is going to be all over Embiid like we haven't seen. Just like the players get momentum, I think this fanbase has gotten momentum with the Philly showing out and they are going to be absolutely insane tonight. Not sure Embiid has the mental fortitude to handle what's gonna get thrown at him tonight. Knicks win big.
I got my mom to babysit my kid tonight and my wife is at work conference, tried to snag a ticket and had my eyes on an amazing little seat and hit checkout and it was gone. Maybe I'll try to get in the building today. That said id totally feel comfortable at home where i can be emotional and have mood swings without anyone seeing.
You can't give up an inch here - they are almost beaten so we have to finish the job. Don't grant them any life.

Wouldn’t put it past Embiid to sit this one out and garner sympathy with some sort of Bell’s palsy related reasoning. He can try his best to escape blame for the series outcome with his myriad of issues and injuries
I fully expect Sixers to be prepared for war. I hope with the home crowd and perhaps a little less superstar ref bias we win without too much pain. I will settle for a win.

And by doing so the rest of the team rises and they steal a win!!!!
Im not on the "Hate Joel" bandwagon. Thats just me. I see a PHilly fan base that is frustrated and an MVP whose body defies what he is capable of.
Where I mentioned a "rope-a-dope" where Philly came out strong and knicks exhausted them, I can see a reverse. Knicks knock them out early and Philly cannot mounts a comeback. No energy. Knicks are more capable to stay focused. Both teams will be shit faced tired.
What I fear? Embiid plays but focus on being a decoy. His defense is still good as a rim protector and he paces himself in a close game were his mates are more effective. Conserve energy for closing out strong. Good idea? Maybe, but it has to be executed. If knicks take a good lead they will need to erase it.
Nurse has to try something. His team is not closing strong.
Knicks deliver a knock out punch and team mails it in with white flag mentality? Thats my hope.

Philly is not exactly known for performing well when backs against the wall and after taking some haymakers. They are a team that has folded under that kind of pressure almost every year. I expect that to continue.

Haven't gotten past the second round with Embid am I wrong ?
Philly took out bogey for the season. Hopefully Burks can get it right.
Bogey started slow but got hot at the right time and we don't win the first 2 games without his shooting keeping us in striking distance while Brunson was in a slump.
Damn Bogey!
Time to wake up and redeem yourself Alec!
