Not surprised the lakers got by far the biggest break between series, how convenient as they wait for their best player to come back

Yup but playing one less quarter helps lol

Yeah Embiid not holding up to play every other day for a 7 game series

It just depends on scheduling and travel in the first round 

Didn’t the lakers have a two day gap between games 3 and 4 or something?

Broadcast mentioned Embiid hasn’t played 6 consecutive games since 2023. He looks to be in the best shape I’ve seen him in the past few years, but that’s still gonna be rough coming off a surgery

yea subscribe to my twitch channel

hes not at all wrong about it. as a celtics fan, he flops too. so does everyone. i just dont think its a great look for him to talk about all that after blowing a 3-1 lead.

though he did also give embiid his props.

He might not be wrong but the fact that he flops, foulbaits and does the push off move as much as anyone in the league makes him sound like dumbest crybaby ever

Maxey was way too timid

I don’t think the Sixers can play at the Knicks pace while playing primarily through embiid. And they can’t slow down the Knicks enough to force their own pace.

Right?! Sometimes I’m like he ain’t getting that pass into the paint… Oh shit he just shot a 3 without lifting his legs lolol

The Knicks have been able to crack zones all year tho - if they go zone we have 2 of the best corner 3 shooting wings offball

This is a far cry from the early Thibs playoff teams that couldn’t shoot themselves out of zone defenses.

Mike Brown is such a breath of fresh air, nice to see an actual offensive system instead of Brunson iso’s the whole game

Idk I think they hug great

The conversation felt very one sided in terms of like oh no one can guard maxey no one can guard embiid.

And yet like, who tf is guarding brunson and KAT??? If embiid is guarding kat like.. look what we saw. Also if ur not ghosting off hart youre not going to slow down this offense bc KAT w optimal spacing w brunson, og, mikal, and hart cutting everywhere is just unbelievably unfair

And do what? Play Bona?

Their only consideration should be having Edgecomb come off the bench and using a bigger wing to have Maxey/Embiid and 3 wings on the court

lol

They have to play Embiid all the games if they want to win any. Drummond is too slow-footed to guard KAT. Bona will get eaten alive. The sixers don’t have an answer for KAT, but the Knicks have Mitch for Embiid.

Hey how did benching the starters go for Boston

Bro what

On essentially a 6.5 man rotation

Bill Simmons always talks about how it seems after a 7 game series teams will “give up” G1 to give guys rest. 

If I remember correctly it’s just one day off until game 7 if needed. Will be something to monitor

Sixers have no back up for him. He needs more help than 4-5 other guys

He must always be tired.

Shit that sounds like jokic

Its frustrating watching Mitch in this series because I feel he’s like 80% of what he used to be on defense. In our previous series he was locking Embiid’s ass up and we all know what happened after that. It’s a damn shame.

Yep

I mean give the guy a little credit, he comes back from appendicitis, he averages like 30 and wins 3 straight against the heavy favorites Boston to complete a 3-1 comeback, and like 2 days later they are playing probably the best East team right now.

They beat the gap year Celtics and came back from 3-1 so people were acting like he’s the man.

These games against the Knicks gonna show he’s past his prime and severely broken down so he’s gonna be relying hard on the foul baiting

Performance enhancement P!

Playoff P!!

He had his appendix out like 2 weeks ago and took a shot from birdges in an incredibly sore spot lol

Yeah. I don’t see Knicks letting their foot off the gas, so stealing game 2 will need some lights out shooting from 3

I could find a handful of guys at the equinox in Lincoln center better than the Boston bigs

Embiid gets riden more in rd2 then a village bicycle.

Rude

Didn’t stop you guys from the chatter every time Embiid wasn’t in the playoffs

I got downvoted to hell for saying otherwise. Fact of the matter is he isn’t even a top 10 player when he is this god damn useless on defense. He is a statue out there

Lmao if true

I said I’d take the longshot bet.. U read the post you would get it. Others understood the post
