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

[OCST]

This is a little sloppy but quite entertaining.

 

[TrapperAB]

That said, I'm loving every minute of this.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Embiid needs a 10 minute months of real-time break right now

 

[Ed Hillel]

This Philly lineup is woof

 

[Ed Hillel]

Brunson needs to play better than this for the Knicks to be a threat moving forward. He's been awful.

 

[chilidawg]

Maxey needs to give the 6ers something.

 

[TrapperAB]

Nurse is gonna stroke out and die young.

 

[OnWisc]

Tatum got T’s up multiple times this season for far less than that on the rim.

 

[osori]

Divincenzo played the entire game lol.

 

[stp130]

Need to weather the storm with Embiid on the bench.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Brunson getting a breather. Sixers need to capitalize

 

[Ed Hillel]

Embiid is literally walking the court.

 

[Justthetippett]

This is a little sloppy but quite entertaining.

Definitely less skilled than some other series but the effort level is on tilt.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Watching 70 year old Nick Batum do this is hilarious.

 

[nattysez]

The Knicks need to stop flopping. The refs aren't buying it.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Who is McBride?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Thibs calling timeout for Embiid doesn't seem wise.

 

[k-factory]

I don't see a particular reason to think they couldn't... they'll score on either pretty easily, question will be what they give up. Regular season doesn't mean a ton, but they did win both season series.

They could have course but I don’t see the tenacity you’d need for these physical teams. ’m not sure how the Pacers lost 2 games to the depleted Bucks. Haliburton is a bit jeckyll/hyde.
One thing the Pacers will do though is exhaust the opposing team.

 

[TrapperAB]

The Knicks need to stop flopping. The refs aren't buying it.

That's the only thief of joy in this game, the number of guys who snap their heads back or flop to the floor to sell a foul. Glad the refs aren't calling it.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Thibs calling timeout for Embiid doesn't seem wise.

He needed to get Brunson in, no?

 

[jmcc5400]

Thibs calling timeout for Embiid doesn't seem wise.

Had to get Brunson back in, I’d guess.

 

[Justthetippett]

Thibs calling timeout for Embiid doesn't seem wise.

Brunson had his 90 second rest. Had to get him back out.

 

[Ed Hillel]

He needed to get Brunson in, no?

I guess so, yeah. Though he could have either waited for a foul or another minute or so for the TV timeout.

 

[jmcc5400]

If this thing goes 7, I’d think the Pacers should cruise in Game 1.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Thibs knew, it seems.

 

[TrapperAB]

Whatever "it" is, Brunson has it.

And Embiid does not. (Nice 20 foot bank shot there, kid.)

 

[Ed Hillel]

This crowd is pathetic.

 

[Van Everyman]

Whatever "it" is, Brunson has it.

And Embiid does not. (Nice 20 foot bank shot there, kid.)

Health? Embiid has been kind of incredible this series all things considered.

Thise two Brunson threes hurt tho.

 

[JCizzle]

Killer turnover from Brunson. Feels like the Sixers might have folded there with a Knicks made basket

 

[OnWisc]

He got hit by the ball.

 

[dhellers]

Time to hate on floptastic hartenstein

Okay, embid did it also

 

[BigSoxFan]

Killer turnover from Brunson. Feels like the Sixers might have folded there with a Knicks made basket

Yeah surprised he didn’t just go up with the shot.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Are these guys blind? That was clearly Embiid, not the ball lol.

 

[jmcc5400]

Flagrant 2 on the ball.

 

[Van Everyman]

Time to hate on floptastic hartenstein

Is Eagle also pronouncing it “Hart-en-SHTEIN”?

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was clearly Embiid's arm.

 

[Justthetippett]

They better overturn this. Not find Embiids fingernail grazed him.

 

[TrapperAB]

Once again, Embiid is flailing -- and caught some face.

 

[radsoxfan]

Nick Nurse is actually a bad coach, huh?

 

[nattysez]

Embiid hits another opponent in the head.

 

[chilidawg]

More than marginal contact.

 

[Van Everyman]

If Nurse doesn’t watch himself, he’s going to turn into Thibs.

 

[TomRicardo]

Ha Embiid is starting not to get bail out calls. Even the refs are sick of his cheap shots.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Not calling the Embiid flop is a first.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Man, how does Batum miss that?

 

[Van Everyman]

Maxey has missed roughly 700 layups this series.

 

[JCizzle]

Embiid has nothing left based on those possessions. Yikes. DD took it past him like he was Herro

 

[TomRicardo]

If Nurse doesn’t watch himself, he’s going to turn into Thibs.

It is weird because you figure the guy that had the ring was Gollum...

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Anytime they catch Embiid on the perimeter, drive away.

 

[nattysez]

Maxey's combination of extreme speed and control is unreal.
