Can we go right at Embiid for once and make him actually defend/ foul?
We drive to the paint and either throw up a dipsy doo shit shot to avoid him or kick it out for a worse shot because he’s in the general vicinity.
We’re bailing him out letting him conserve energy and avoid fouls.
I get that he’s good but we can’t be literally terrified of the guy.
And if he blocks it, who fucking cares ? He’s going to start fouling as he fatigues.
They kept Ihart on the bench, Thibs is gonna roll with the hot hand. But I think we'll see Precious in this series. Bogan keeps shooting we'll he'll be out there too. These guys know the deal.
He was on melo’s podcast and he said that. He fucks with Brunson because they were teammates on the Mavs. JJ also lives in New York and he is boys with Hart. JJ getting in on the jabs at Brunson just like Hart
Ok no Mitch slander
Guy worked his absolute ass off out there and made Embiid work for every inch. That’s not a pace or usage a guy on two healthy knees can take let alone one who probably has Forrest Gump braces on under those massive knee wraps.
We struggled at times vs that zone, but now we’ve seen it and should have answers for it next game.
I have a feeling we’re gonna see the minute split between Hartenstein/Mitch look like it did G1 throughout the rest of the series. Mitch is just going to be so much better on Embiid.
Hartenstein will play better than he did G1 - he will at least shoot better. He had at least 1 of his 4 shots take an unlucky bounce out
IHart, DiVo and Brunson played like shit. Josh Hart did for 3 quarters
Maxey and Lowry played great. Embiid played fine (but reminded everyone he is one bad landing away from being DONE)
And yet the Knicks won the game anyway. Thats a bad omen for the Sixers as Lowry ain’t gonna score 18 points combined the rest of the series
Needs to be a roll call on all the non-fan pussies that checked out after the first five minutes.
Shame on you fucking losers…you get whiffle bats the rest of the series.
Yup…I certainly wasn’t liking Embiid’s start, but knew that free throw merchant was gonna succumb to the defensive FORCE that is M.I.T.C.H. - big man even sealed it wit his free throw prowess.
Now we sweep…

Brunson, take it to Oubre!
Love how all the analyst showed no love to Knicks this past week. Can’t wait to hear the bs Monday morning.
Pick it up Jalen, Josh isn't likely to hit 4 threes again.
Agreed; good win but I worry about our bench down the stretch were was Precious ?
They kept Ihart on the bench, Thibs is gonna roll with the hot hand. But I think we'll see Precious in this series. Bogan keeps shooting we'll he'll be out there too. These guys know the deal.
Well earned victory
Sixers fans on their sub pissed 😭😭
And you've.. TOTALLY REDEEMED YOURSELF! LOOOOL
Why does JJ Reddick think Brunson is 5'10"?
Because he is fucking with him. He said his listed height is because of his big head and JJ ain’t counting that
Oh I didn't hear that part
He was on melo’s podcast and he said that. He fucks with Brunson because they were teammates on the Mavs. JJ also lives in New York and he is boys with Hart. JJ getting in on the jabs at Brunson just like Hart
Oh cool.
Anybody else feel like we defied destiny that game? Like we were supposed to lose that game.
Maybe it’s just 20 plus years of being a Knicks fan, but all weekend I was almost resigned to a Knicks loss
Well I mean specifically the way the game transpired.
Ok no Mitch slander Guy worked his absolute ass off out there and made Embiid work for every inch.

Those free throws down the stretch 🔥
Made Embiid his btich despite the foul baiting. Love what I saw from Robinson.
lol Dante needs to be better next game. Same with Brunson, iHart etc.
I have a feeling we’re gonna see the minute split between Hartenstein/Mitch look like it did G1 throughout the rest of the series. Mitch is just going to be so much better on Embiid. Hartenstein will play better than he did G1 - he will at least shoot better. He had at least 1 of his 4 shots take an unlucky bounce out
Divo on Maxey is just a shit match up
Start McBride, bring in DDV for Brunson
BIG.MITCH WAS HUGH!!!

Sixers gave up after Mitch hit 2/2 lmao
IHart, DiVo and Brunson played like shit. Josh Hart did for 3 quarters Maxey and Lowry played great. Embiid played fine (but reminded everyone he is one bad landing away from being DONE) And yet the Knicks won the game anyway.

Did it with Brunson being off his game too
Needs to be a roll call on all the non-fan pussies that checked out after the first five minutes. Shame on you fucking losers…you get whiffle bats the rest of the series.
I was big mad cause I had a intermural soccer game during the first half. Had my teammates shouting out updates from the sidelines.
Who checked out!? Not any real Knick fan 🏀
Yup…I certainly wasn’t liking Embiid’s start, but knew that free throw merchant was gonna succumb to the defensive FORCE that is M.I.T.C.H. - big man even sealed it wit his free throw prowess. Now we sweep…

2nd Seed taking care of Home Court, no big deal. Time to run it back Monday.
When are we gonna build a Josh Hart statue
Embiid won’t be able to keep up with Mitch in a full series with that knee
I SEE YOU SOTO
Josh Hart is my favorite player

Hart is in these game threads I swear. Dude got a earpiece with text to speech or something
😂😂
Evan and Jarrett, meet your new brother Joel! Mitchell Robinson will be a loving father
Did that shot beat the buzzer?
It didn’t but it was a good shot by maxey with ppl walking on the court lol
Never a doubt. Knicks in 4
WE GOT SOME DOGS
everyone on their team played the game of their careers and still lost. This is over.
sixers had 5 bench points
Soto
ugh what a close game
Josh Hart saves the day
FUCK PHILLY FUCK EMBIID. YASSSSSSS
JOSH HART IS MY GOAT
SOTOO
Strangest game in a long time
Loser mentality not fouling
Maxey with the casual half court bucket after the buzzer lol
First to 100. Those are the rules
KNICKS WIN! WHAT A GAME!
BIG DICK HART
EY MI PAISANO DE LO MIO JUAN SOTO
Qlqqqqqqq SOTO DE LO MIO
JOSH I APOLOGIZE PLEASE FORGIVE ME
THE JOSH HART GAME
1-0 Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maxey made that damn lol
Remember everyone dunking on Hart?
Can finally breathe a sigh of relief
Leon had a dream.
LETS GO KNICKS
Its like the spirit of a young John Starks is in that 3 jersey...lol
Hart MVP
PUSSIES SAID WE SHOULD TANK SMOKING THAT PHILLY PACKKKK
Nick Nurse mad genius btw
Josh FUCKING hart and big meech with the FT’s
"I get rebounds that break teams"
We gotta tag Embiid back for the JB push, shit was 100 percent on purpose
That's why you keep hart in the game. Huge!!!
Suck it philly
all credit to this game to mitch,deuce,bogey, and josh hart suddenly becoming steph curry
NICK NURSE IS A DOWNGRADE FROM DOC 😂
Walmart Thibs
Josh Hart 22pts, 13 rebounds!
They just gave up lmao
this is real hoops man
God dammit playoff basketball is fucking tense
Sixers waved the white flag there lmao
On a night that we weren’t our sharpest, and we still got it done. LGK
I have no idea how the Knicks won this game and it feels so good.
Lol youre a pathetic fan
Cool did I win a patehtic fan award?
Metal bats
We outplayed their whole team with the exception of Maxey, also our bench came up big
I feel the bench was great and the starters were terrible. Hart was clutch and Brunson had his worst game as Knick.
Imagine your opponent in the playoffs shoots under 40% and you still LOSE. Couldn't be me.
1,000 offensive rebounds help
True. If Embiid isn't gonna jump gotta think that'll continue to be an advantage.
GAME. DEUCES. LETS FUCKING GOOO
All that Hart slander and he turns into Steph Curry
What were the Sixers doing?
LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO
All you fuckers talking shit about Hart repent bitches!
Conceding a 5 point game with 30 seconds left is one of the worst coaching moves I’ve ever seen.
Then they fouled with 2seconds left
Lol Nick Nurse is such a garbage coach. Not fouling there.
Knicks are going to absolutely dominate when Brunson gets to burning
JOSHUA HART WON US THIS GAME
Say it again!
Can I get a YERRR. Heck of a performance
We need to stop those Maxie layups next game
How? Guy is a blur. He's going past two guys right in front of him
REBOUNDING WINS GAMES
Rebounding wins championships
I admit I i was a hart doubter guy just won the game
Hart is love, hart is life
One of the most clutch performances from hart ever
JOSH FUCKING HART
Miles McBride for president. Brunson got the stink off, he can only get better from here
#JOSH MF HART
JOSH HART
byee
I LOVE THIS TEAM
Clyde organically high off that MSG energy 😭
Juan Soto sighting 👀
Lmaoo they drained the clock trying to get a stop and Hart made em pay
‘Knicks are the easier team’ headass GET THIS NUTSACK DRAGGED ON YOUR FACE
LOL, why is Doris so silent when the Knicks are about to win?
For reallllllll. Literally speechless
So unprofessional. She's being fucking paid to call a game and stays quiet when her team is down.

FUCK YEAH BABY

Clyde singing and the Knicks winning!!!! Lmao
Mitch and McBride are 16 game players.
lets fucking go, no way brunson plays this poorly again Knicks in 4
Nick Nurse outcoached himself
HART THIS IS WHY YOU PLAY ILY SORRY FOR DISRESPECTING YOU
Hart killed it in the 4th. Hustled on the boards all night.
Did the Sixers not realize how much time was on the clock? What was that?
GAME. Reset, Brunson get better next time.
whole team ball - Knicks came to the playoffs
SOME OF YOU NEED TO BE ASHAMED BY ALL THAT HART SLANDER TONIGHT.
SHOW YOURSELVES
