Grimes plays like a crackhead... 3-4 years ago I used to say "wait til the game slows down for him, he's going to be really good"... watching him play now he's more erratic than ever.
Goes to show you how different the league is when guys actually play D, because Grimes can put up 25 every game late in the year when games don't matter.

Same

Hard not to foul Embiid, I'll give him a break there. He's been really great and efficient, like Clarkson just completely reinvented himself late in the year.

Didn’t even need him, won by 14 in their stadium. Insane depth for Knicks

Fantastic! I'm thrilled. See he CAN be that guy when he tries to be!
You're welcome for my calling him out and lighting a fire under his ass! High five, brother! Now keep doing that, Mikal!

Grimes still plays faster than he can think. I wish him well after (this series) but he needs to modulate

I think Oubre is a pretty cool guy. Eh defends well and doesn't afraid of anything.

I kind of feel the same way but did any of you see that shit where he was imitating a big bobble head in a clear reference to Jalen? It was a little funny coming from Mr sideshow Bob himself, plus two hair colors

That image captures this entire series. Embiid tumbling to the ground, and IMO trying to take out Mitch’s legs (honestly Joel has a mental problem here. Hed be bullshit on the receiving end)and Mitch w a vicious dunk (not to mention showing up at the free throw line)

Alpha1971 @ 5/9/2026 8:40 AM

too bad Yabusele didn't work out, a back up big with OG out would be 😊 good.

it was funny. Oubre is a good buy limited role player.

Chandler @ 5/9/2026 8:42 AM

One thing that really struck me is the Sixers are playing thibs like minutes and it’s showing up in the 4th as they lose steam

And I think our depth and freshness is one big reason why our team has been so good in the 4th this year (plus clutch shooting)

The Sixers have zero chemistry and SVG (who has the curse of thinking himself funny) admitted as much by repeatedly saying the Sixers had to have maxey or embiid effectively go iso to the hoop. No action, no passing, and no answers how to stop the Knicks

Thibs never played anyone 38mpg while he was here. But PHI looks tired because Embiid is done, PG is old and washed, and they have no bench. I dont think it has anything to do with MPG. We had a young team with Thibs and we did not look tired last playoffs.

We had a great run last year and should have made the finals, but Thibs never had this sort of depth. We made that KAT trade knowing it was going to deplete us and that we'd need an offseason to really replenish the bench and we did. Brown came into a great situation.
