    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    He was trying to do exactly what a coach should be doing in that game scenario. He was ready to call the timeout to avoid a turnover and otherwise was going to let his players execute. If he calls timeout, there’s a foul and then a good chance his team is back in the exact same position...

    Agreed. It was very dangerous, but it seemed like he was going up, hit Tatum, and kind of folded under him because Tatum is that much stronger.

    That wasn’t intentional.

    I can’t really blame them for relaxing with a 30 point lead. If they don’t come out focused after this timeout it’s a different story. Hard to stay focused when you know there is a switch you can flip to dominate the other team.

    More like 2-3 with the Heat closing the gap a bit.

    He will come out around 4 minutes. It’s the playoffs.

    Yeah, but the rotation is going to tighten for the playoffs. If this game were close Tatum would be playing 41 minutes. That eats into Hauser’s minutes.

    Isn’t that just the rotation? Hauser will come in to start the 4th I would assume.

    That was remarkably bad end of half defense.

    Spo may want to rethink not guarding Hauser.

    How is jumping off two feet and landing not a travel by Jovic?

    This is what a team that cruised to 64 regular season wins looks like at playoff intensity.

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    I would disagree that it was a dumb play. He made a skilled basketball move against a defender that overcommitted to his dribble. I agree that his health history diminishes his value, and I think there are real concerns about whether he’s risking his career in these playoffs. But I also think...

    The difference in the Sixers offense with and without him is so massive though.

    Ok, can you explain how this game is confirming a negative opinion on Embiid? I am honestly interested because while I can understand the prior of being down on Embiid I really can’t understand how this game reinforces it.

    Because he’s been the best player on the court despite playing at 80% health?

    I didn’t see any significant twist/flex so was betting on hard impact + pain = fear as opposed to a serious injury.

    She can be fantastic. She is merely fine on the halftime show because they don’t really let her do much besides pass the mic between everyone else.

    Malika is perfectly fine and Wilbon isn’t awful. The other two…….
