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

[bigq]

Embiid is battling out there.

Gladiator style

 

[Bigpupp]

Why is that a flagrant? What is Embiid supposed to do? Not claw someone in the face?

/SVG

 

[Ed Hillel]

Wow he almost missed that lol

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

Re the bolded: I know we've said some of these Miami series were wars for Boston the past couple years, but this is a WAR. No one is going to have limbs left if it goes 6 or 7.

Or eyes apparently.

 

[Obscure Name]

Kapow?

 

[osori]

Embiid is a disaster.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That looked off NY

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Fouled him, George the Animal Steele'd his face then yank his arm, and still pled his innocence.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Quadruple Double with the turnovers

 

[Cellar-Door]

Embiid has BY FAR the most flagrants in the league since 2017-18 BTW.... he is the straight up dirtiest player in the league.

 

[Obscure Name]

Take the shot dude.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This series rocks and I never want it to end. There will be skeletons playing in a weeks time.

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

Can we get a third 4 point possession?

 

[ragnarok725]

Take the shot dude.

Batum was 100% going to block that.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Knicks had a chance to get an 8 seconds there, that foul was a bit of a bailout.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

That was not a good shot.

 

[bigq]

Knicks had so many chances to put this one away. They probably still win the series but a loss tonight is going to sting.

 

[Ed Hillel]

If the Celtics lost this game, SoSH would explode.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

That ought to do it. New York should be sick to their stomaches here, the foul up 6 and then missing a FT after that.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Embiid: a triple double and a heavyweight belt

 

[mikeot]

This.

 

[bankshot1]

This game has been awesome.

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

Brunson with 32 shots.

Maxey with 30 shots.

Both going to need lots of ice.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Best possible outcome for the Cs and a very entertaining basketball game, to boot

 

[PedroKsBambino]

I really thought Philly was done with that breakaway dunk.

Yet here we are....

 

[BigSoxFan]

Are Philly fans actually going to show up in Game 6?

 

[ragnarok725]

Knicks fans must be shell shocked. What a crazy way to lose.

 

[stp130]

Gritty W by the Sixers.

 

[chilidawg]

Best possible outcome for the Cs and a very entertaining basketball game, to boot

2 more OT games would be awesome. Beat the ever loving shit out of each other.

 

[Cellar-Door]

If I counted right here is the Knicks' overtime offensive play outcomes....
9 Brunson shot attempts
2 Brunson turnovers
1 Josh Hart drive/shot attempt

Yeah.... that is not a great approach.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This series is bloodsport on hardwood. Moar!!!

 

[TomRicardo]

Oh god, the Bucks/Pacers Jersey are so ugly the transition was jarring.

 

[mikeford]

This series rocks and I never want it to end. There will be skeletons playing in a weeks time.

I am also loving this 90s garbage ball. Long may it reign.

 

[ElUno20]

From a clipps fan, that's one of the worst playoff losses I've ever seen. Up 6 with 28 seconds left.

 

[Ed Hillel]

A rested Indy could be a real pain in the ass for either of these teams, especially Philly.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Interesting matchup... good for Maxey probably, he can hunt Halli, but the pace might be tough on Embiid.

 

[mikeford]

Knicks fans must be shell shocked. What a crazy way to lose.

 

[TomRicardo]

A rested Indy could be a real pain in the ass for either of these teams, especially Philly.

The softest team in the playoffs running right into battle harden soldiers?

 

[JCizzle]

The Knicks lost this game? I was mostly on the Bruins, but what the fuck?

 

[bosockboy]

lol Knicks

 

[lovegtm]

If the Celtics lost this game, SoSH would explode.

And rightfully so! That was an epic, epic chokejob.

 

[bankshot1]

It's kind of amazing that these two original franchises have played so few post season series.

 

[InstaFace]

This one calls for Art But Make It Sports

 

[jon abbey]

I thought it was a mistake by Thibs to not find Brunson a couple minutes to rest in the first half, and McBride needs to be looking to score constantly with Bogdanovic out, there were possessions where he never even touched the ball which shouldn't happen.

Six guys in this game with over 48 minutes, three for each team. They only get one day off, Thursday should be interesting.

[InstaFace]

The Knicks are a fun story, but you cannot win with only one guy willing to shoot.

I just rewatched the last 9 minutes of 4Q + OT. OG Anunoby and Josh Hart had no problems shooting whenever appropriate, aside from the fact that Hart has the yips at the line. Even McBride took a few when absolutely necessary.

This series rocks and I never want it to end. There will be skeletons playing in a week's time.

This calls for a new thread subtitle. They've earned it.

Nurse is the absolute worst.

That's a parody account right? I don't even know what the point of that tweet is.

Also, everyone knows Nick doesn't "draw up plays". He's too busy Neal Katyaling the refs.

 

[The Social Chair]

Embiid has BY FAR the most flagrants in the league since 2017-18 BTW.... he is the straight up dirtiest player in the league.

Adam Silver would build a prison on the moon for Draymond if he did some of the stuff Embiid does every game.

 

[Murderer's Crow]

Knicks fans must be shell shocked. What a crazy way to lose.

Meh, more annoying than anything. Stupidity at the end of the game all around.
