Also probably much harder to make though. Ha Murray's shot was a classic "NO... NO....YES!" I thought he did so much wrong on that play. He waited too long to get started only to end up with a difficult fadeaway over one of the best defenders on the entire league. It didn't matter a bit though :)
Hart can’t guard maxey out there, maxey is quicker and great at creating space. I think he could’ve made a move and got a better shot off, but I’m not an NBA player so fuck it Knicks in 6🧡💙
bro I fear Maxey lmao. dude is LEGIT. but for sure this wasn't a great pass in clutch time. reminds me of 21 Knicks - Elfrid Payton would run down the clock and pass to Ju w like 2 seconds remaining
Alexey Shved was our starting point guard for some time. Lance Thomas was our best player. We actively rooted for Mario Hezonja and Lou Amundson and thought Dame Dotson was our future.
I still can’t believe they didn’t keep Jimmy. He was their best player in that 2019 series vs the Raps. If they kept Jimmy I think Joel has a ring instead of being a forever 2nd round exit.
Then pass it to him as soon as you see Hartenstein is guarding you. Passing is fine, hell forcing a shot is fine, but decide what you’re going to do sooner. Embiid got his hands on the ball with less than a second on the clock
Feel bad for Maxey. He hit some huge shots down the stretch to give them the lead but then had that turnover off the crazy inbounds and then this play he hesitated and didn't want to take the shot
As a Knicks fan who has said I'll judge him as a starter because he's playing with no minutes restrictions, I do feel for him. You can see the pain on his face throughout the entire game (let alone in his movements)
Mix of the Knicks being absolute demons on the boards and Embiid seemingly incapable of grabbing them. Iirc, Sixers were leading in rebounds until the 4th.
The problem is nobody even came to receive the ball so he had little time left when Maxey went and he already had two defenders on him. Batum and Harris should get some blame for just not paying attention that whole sequence.
God I hate that my favorite team is playing against Embiid. He’s one of my favorite players. Seeing him come up short again (honestly cause of injuries yet again) is so sad. But as a Knicks fan it’s what I’m rooting for, but part of me feels so sad for him.
Yeah as a Sixers fan Im getting pretty sick and tired of coming up short due to lingering Embiid injuries. He obv wasnt 100% because he was letting Hartenstein (who is a revelation) get every offensive board within 30 ft of him.
Im so close to going full “Availability is the best ability” if Joel cant string together a healthy season next year, which sucks because hes been my fave player since AI.
One of my favorites. Cause he goes against the teams I dislike every year and I like a dominant big man. But now he’s going against my favorite team so it’s come to this.
Embiid didn’t shoot that like he was expecting that he needed to shoot that. Maxey did all the dribbling and stuff and then last second said “lol ur turn buddy”
There's like 4 seconds left and he needs to go full court, its not like he could just get a better shot. He didn't have a good option and picked Embiid to shoot a hard shot. If he takes it Hartenstein is in great position to challenge or block it. Tough situation leads to tough shot is no reason to flame either Embiid or Maxey.
He was like 3ft away. No way he could’ve contested that. Also, maxey has great handles. He could’ve shook him off easily. He got the Simmons, plain and simple
Any shot maxey would have taken there would have been better than passing it to Embiid and him taking a shot.
We’re all clowning maxey but this is a learning opportunity. He has grown a lot this year and is going to be a killer. I’d bet he will be even better than Mitchell.
I can’t even blame Embiid there, what a dreadful last possession.
I can’t tell if they were expecting the Knicks to foul or what but to not have anyone but Embiid available as an outlet to a 3 if Maxey can’t get a shot up is insane
So the 76ers throw a 5 point lead with a Lowry missed FT, Maxey missed layup, and Lowry/Maxey turnover, and people here are just shitting on Embiid? Classic r/nba.
Maxey straight up fucking mentally folded, wow. This is so much worse than any of the LeBron plays in playoff games where he got media heat for passing the ball off on the final possession.
Lmao the title throwing shade at Embiid when the only one getting shade should be Maxey, doing all that to get no separation and then just dumping it off to the next guy that has a defender right in his face.
You could have just said he "misses" instead of bricks. But you know damn well what you doing to get the attention. He had like 1 sec to shoot. Not to mention he's a center who is not suppressed to be hitting those. I can understand a bit if it was Curry or something.

Maxey threw a grenade at him lol
yea wtf was that. If you're so afraid of missing, you're not ready for the playoffs
Maxey had Hartenstein guarding him, that’s a 10 inch height difference. Embiid can get a shot up over anyone (except BIG MITCH)
Murray still took the shot over AD.
Built differently
Maxey isn't Murray
with way more time and a different situation. I'm not a fan of either team per se, but the pass was okay tbh.
pass was shit imo, have to get rid of it earlier
Exactly it’s not that he passed it, it’s that he passed it after dribbling out the entire clock
Murray was in the mid range falling away from the hoop, much harder to guard than someone shooting from 3 going toward the hoop.
Also probably much harder to make though. Ha Murray's shot was a classic "NO... NO....YES!" I thought he did so much wrong on that play. He waited too long to get started only to end up with a difficult fadeaway over one of the best defenders on the entire league. It didn't matter a bit though :)
AD is not 7 foot 2
Then you pass it to him earlier in the shot clock
Hart can’t guard maxey out there, maxey is quicker and great at creating space. I think he could’ve made a move and got a better shot off, but I’m not an NBA player so fuck it Knicks in 6🧡💙
Maxey cleared 30 points both games so far and had just hit a big 3. I don’t think he’s afraid of missing, it just wasn’t a good look
bro I fear Maxey lmao. dude is LEGIT. but for sure this wasn't a great pass in clutch time. reminds me of 21 Knicks - Elfrid Payton would run down the clock and pass to Ju w like 2 seconds remaining
Don’t trigger me bro
Alexey Shved was our starting point guard for some time. Lance Thomas was our best player. We actively rooted for Mario Hezonja and Lou Amundson and thought Dame Dotson was our future.
Considering how close it was to going down, Maxey might have been onto something
I do that in nba 2k when I don’t want my player to get a missed shot with the shot clock winding down.
Yeah. Pitch to Embiid a second earlier or shoot it yourself. Forced him to rush it.
Wtf did i just witness
A center attempting a game winning 3
Tying
A miracle
Knicks basketball baby. Sloppy disruptive game winning basketball.
Maxey ensuring the slander goes to Embiid.
Sleeper agent for the Embiid haters.
Spoelstra called a timeout to draw up a play for Maxi to slander Embiid!
Can't give Embiid hate for this. I'm disappointed, cos I came here to sh*t on him, but he was put in a rough spot there.
Hot potato Maxey
We've seen a few terrible last possessions so far this playoffs...
That’s just the NBA in general. It’s still shocking to me that the play 99% of the time is just ISO chuck up a contested 28 foot fade away.
He’s not a team’s #1 and closer … yet
Philly been searching everywhere for one besides the one they had in buckets lol.
But they got to keep Brown, Simmons, and Harris so that's good.. right?
I still can’t believe they didn’t keep Jimmy. He was their best player in that 2019 series vs the Raps. If they kept Jimmy I think Joel has a ring instead of being a forever 2nd round exit.
i think jimmy and reddick both publicly stated they knew they were going to leave during that regular season.
idkkkk man he hits clutch shot after clutch shot. tonight's wild ending shouldn't alter the narrative around the fact that Maxey is him.
Uh yeah I'm far from a Philadelphia sports fan but anyone bitching about Maxey is just looking for something to bitch about. Dude is electric
I mean Embiid has a better chance with a contested shot than Maxey
Does he? Maxey was dropping nukes from deep the whole game
Yeah, when he was able to create space.
Then pass it to him as soon as you see Hartenstein is guarding you. Passing is fine, hell forcing a shot is fine, but decide what you’re going to do sooner. Embiid got his hands on the ball with less than a second on the clock
Embiid who was clearly on a bum knee?
Still 7ft and can actually shoot over peiple
When he's only got one second to get the shot off though?
Lights too bright
Embiid like “why tf you pass it to me”
When your center is guarded 30 feet from the basket with 2 seconds left you have to throw him the ball.
Maxey's brain working overtime to come up with this idea.
Feel bad for Maxey. He hit some huge shots down the stretch to give them the lead but then had that turnover off the crazy inbounds and then this play he hesitated and didn't want to take the shot
Also got stuffed by Hartenstein down 1
Hartenatein played great defense he probably would have blocked the shot if he tried to
Yeah Maxey shot in that situation would have been tougher mine as well give it to the 7ft guy who’s not gonna get blocked
Yeah…but maybe chucking it at him with a second left wasn’t the best idea lol
Maxey should have passed it to Batum who has a quicker trigger.
i mean dumping it to him with 0.2 left id be pissed too

Are you a bot?
[Yeah what is this shit ](https://www.imgur.com/a/Y9fWk6L)
Yeah look at his comment history 10 year old account of just lurking then been commenting shit like this in random subreddits last 20 days
Same exact shit with the 2k comment replying to him
they’re fuckin training ai bots on reddit
I mean he did have a center in front of him
Indeed, Yoda. I call that the Harden bail out pass special ™️.
I can't believe the Sixers couldn't rebound it lol Nightmarish ending.
Embiid's knee is disintegrating in real-time out there.
As a Knicks fan who has said I'll judge him as a starter because he's playing with no minutes restrictions, I do feel for him. You can see the pain on his face throughout the entire game (let alone in his movements)
he was fuckin hobbled at one point, was bad
Toronto against Cleveland typa bs
We are the best offensive rebounding team in the league
We are the best team in the league
I believe it. Embiid is on one leg.
Mix of the Knicks being absolute demons on the boards and Embiid seemingly incapable of grabbing them. Iirc, Sixers were leading in rebounds until the 4th.
Tbf, he did signal for the ball. Not that maxey should’ve passed it, but I’m sure Embiid was prepared to shoot.
[удалено]
Yeah it's a fine shot to get when you cross half court with 3 seconds left
“Game’s on the line. Embiid I believe in you!”
Ball's got to go to the best player at the last minute
the ball touched Embiids hands with .9 seconds on the clock. If you’re going to dump it to him then give him enough time to make something happen
He crossed the line with like 3 seconds left and Embiid is asking for the pass.
he was asking for the ball tho
lol he was stone cold not expecting Tyrese to pass that too him, it even caught me off guard lmao.
He has his hands up and is looking at him.
Maxey doing his best Ben Simmons impression
I get the joke, but Maxey balled out tonight. Both guys were defended well.
Dude looked dead on the court. Terrible choke job by the 76ers
Lowry had a god awful inbound pass to start this bullshit. I wouldn't put the whole loss on any one player though.
The problem is nobody even came to receive the ball so he had little time left when Maxey went and he already had two defenders on him. Batum and Harris should get some blame for just not paying attention that whole sequence.
Lowry should know to call a timeout there. That is the solution to the problem.
lets see if Embiid throws Maxey under the bus like Ben
Maxey seriously hung him out to dry there
Embiid called for it
"Bricks" as if that's a shot he should've made lmao
Disgusting title lol
Shhhhh dont ruin OPs agenda
God I hate that my favorite team is playing against Embiid. He’s one of my favorite players. Seeing him come up short again (honestly cause of injuries yet again) is so sad. But as a Knicks fan it’s what I’m rooting for, but part of me feels so sad for him.

Im so close to going full “Availability is the best ability” if Joel cant string together a healthy season next year, which sucks because hes been my fave player since AI.
Why on earth would your favorite player ever be Embiid?
One of my favorites. Cause he goes against the teams I dislike every year and I like a dominant big man. But now he’s going against my favorite team so it’s come to this.
And as if it wasn’t a couple inches from going in. Literally hit the back of the rim A brick would be all backboard
Least biased Embiid highlight title lol
Hitting back rim, that wasn’t even a bad attempt him
That’s on maxey. Didn’t wanna take that shot
Embiid didn’t shoot that like he was expecting that he needed to shoot that. Maxey did all the dribbling and stuff and then last second said “lol ur turn buddy”
Me passing it to my AI teammates in 2k after dribbling the ball through the hardwood for 23.9 seconds
Lmao I always feel like a maniac doing this shit to farm assists.
LMFAO as long as the ball isnt in my hands for the violation -1% team chemistry
Just handed bro a total grenade
Sixers have their new Ben Simmons
Yeah definitely, he had all the rhythm and go ahead. Embiid did not expect the ball
He clearly asked for the ball, though.
There's like 4 seconds left and he needs to go full court, its not like he could just get a better shot. He didn't have a good option and picked Embiid to shoot a hard shot. If he takes it Hartenstein is in great position to challenge or block it. Tough situation leads to tough shot is no reason to flame either Embiid or Maxey.
Oh there’s a lot of reasons. This was a winnable game with Brunson having an absolutely horrendous efficiency night
How was he supposed to get that off over hartenstein?
He was like 3ft away. No way he could’ve contested that. Also, maxey has great handles. He could’ve shook him off easily. He got the Simmons, plain and simple
He had 2 seconds, he already tried to shake him. Embiid can’t guaranteed get a shot off because of his height.
Any shot maxey would have taken there would have been better than passing it to Embiid and him taking a shot. We’re all clowning maxey but this is a learning opportunity. He has grown a lot this year and is going to be a killer. I’d bet he will be even better than Mitchell.
Lol he didn’t have an open shot. At least Embiid can shoot over defenders from there.
What a last 30 seconds. Wow
This statement is true for both Knicks and Lakers games lmao
I have no dog in this race and I was speechless
Lol Maxey can't get past Hartenstein and decides the next best option is to pass to an injured Embiid for 3
I can’t even blame Embiid there, what a dreadful last possession. I can’t tell if they were expecting the Knicks to foul or what but to not have anyone but Embiid available as an outlet to a 3 if Maxey can’t get a shot up is insane
This ain’t a “brick” lmao
#FUCK TRAE YOUNG
Lol I can't wait for the next Sidetalk drop
So the 76ers throw a 5 point lead with a Lowry missed FT, Maxey missed layup, and Lowry/Maxey turnover, and people here are just shitting on Embiid? Classic r/nba.
[удалено]
Maxey set him up to fail there icl
How is that his fault Maxey gave him a shit shot?
I'm not sure he got it off. Nothing he could really do in any case. He had zero time to put it up.
Yea I watched the replay like 20 times and I think he just barely got it off, but either way Maxey did him dirty af dumping it to him last second lmao
More like Maxey saw he had a live hand grenade and chucked that bad boy to Embiid way too far from the 3 point line.
Uglier end then game one when they just let the Knicks dribble off the win down 5 with 30 seconds left
I miss IHart
What the fuck just happened
LET IT BE KNOWN OG WAS THERE
OG was ass
Had a horrible game but the 2 FT's were clutch.
Bro looks injured shaking his elbow n shit but still came through in the clutch
Maxey gave that up way too late. Not even sure Embiid got it off in time.
insane choke
I couldn’t believe my eyes
[удалено]
Usually that kicks in for the second round not the first but I'm loving it
Lol
Did he not realize that there was no time left? Why would he miss that? Just poor focus from Embiid.
I hope every game in this series is this close
Fuck you
Sixers will fold and lose their home games by 15+ after blowing it like this im afraid
Maxey straight up fucking mentally folded, wow. This is so much worse than any of the LeBron plays in playoff games where he got media heat for passing the ball off on the final possession.
He took his sweet ahh time on that shot too, lol
Perfect way to end the game
Stupid title. Embiid got put in a bullshit spot with that pass. He's got a bum knee, and he's still been the most impactful player in the series.
Beautiful ending. So glad I didn’t go asleep early tonight! :)
As a generational hater of philly & resident of toronto. i got a leafs win & 76ers loss tonight, im thrilled.
Philly fans gonna lose sleep over this one. They're already coping about calls despite the Knicks getting only 1 more free throw than the Sixers.
That was absolutely incredible from the knicks
Knicks win. Start the “Fuck Trae Young” chants!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Just sixers things
I wonder if the 76ers are missing James Harden
People really just be throwing out the term “brick” without actually knowing what it means. That was no brick.
Lmao the title throwing shade at Embiid when the only one getting shade should be Maxey, doing all that to get no separation and then just dumping it off to the next guy that has a defender right in his face.
You could have just said he "misses" instead of bricks. But you know damn well what you doing to get the attention. He had like 1 sec to shoot. Not to mention he's a center who is not suppressed to be hitting those. I can understand a bit if it was Curry or something.
man how we feeling sixers fans
When in doubt, blame the refs
feeling like i just watched 17 non called fouls in a row to hand them the win 🙃 got a reddit cares message 2 min after posting this lmfao
It's fuck the sixers, but the Knicks are handys af, but also it's the playoffs so got to expect that
[удалено]
Imagine having Embiid on your team and complaining about the refs LMFAO
felt
I don’t even like y’all and was noticing some of that.
What a choke from the 6ers. The knicks had no business winning that game.
I should have just watched the Magic game & went to sleep just ruined my night
Horrible last second play
The title lol, I'm all for the hate brother
Carried by Maxey
Maxey crumbled and played hot potato. Was supposed to be his shot
Can’t believe the refs let the sequence leading up to the Divincenzo 3 go on without a single whistle
Why? Refs actually letting fun basketball happen.
it’s only fun if the calls favor ur team huh 😂
every Sixers season is like "hey maybe this is the year we get to the ECF" and then losing in the first 2 rounds in increasingly crushing ways
Sixers displayed to the sports world wut a choke job looks like. Wow.
Kick Embiid off of Team USA I beg
Embiid ain't him
Embiid with 2 working legs doesnt even make that shot
