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

[JakeRae]

Will Thibs advance and try for like a 3-4 second shot/2 for 1?

You have to do this I think.

 

[TrapperAB]

Multiple overtimes still in play…

 

[jmcc5400]

This series has rewarded every second I have invested in it. I am begging for a G7 in MSG

 

[Mystic Merlin]

2 for 1 if you’re the Knicks?

There isn’t really an argument against it if you get a decent look early in the shot clock.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

This game is wild, but I wonder if ending this late on the east coast will hurt ratings.

Will Thibs advance and try for like a 3-4 second shot/2 for 1?

Seems so. Need to shoot in the next 4 seconds though.

Probably the move assuming you can get a half decent shot.

 

[Justthetippett]

Can anyone tell me what Tobias Harris provides?

He's no Buddy Hield

 

[snowmanny]

I haven't rooted for the Sixers in a playoff series since 2001. This is exhausting.

 

[k-factory]

Multiple overtimes still in play…

Heh. That is in fact the thing to root for

 

[Ed Hillel]

Philly is pathetic defensively with Embiid hobbled.

 

[8slim]

This game is on drugs.

Good drugs.

 

[jmcc5400]

What a no no yes shot!

 

[radsoxfan]

Not 2 for 1, but they didnt have a decent look so played it right. Massive shot

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Good idea Oubre

 

[OnWisc]

What a no no yes shot!

I’ll take another one of those on the other end.

 

[ifmanis5]

Didn't they he'd make that.

 

[Silverdude2167]

The amount of open 3s in this game is insane

 

[nattysez]

Oubre is such a wild card. Hart was his man on that play, but he's had some great plays this game.

 

[nattysez]

I don't trust the Knicks to hit their FTs. At all.

 

[TomRicardo]

Embiid's night is over

 

[Just a bit outside]

Take a little longer to foul next time.

 

[Ed Hillel]

How is Embiid the one fouling lol

 

[JakeRae]

This is dumb. Going to OT with Embiid out isn’t that bad. Playing the foul game is the only way the Knicks lose this game.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I don't trust the Knicks to hit their FTs. At all.

Nobody does….

 

[ifmanis5]

TNT broadcast is way behind NBA twitter.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Good look with 4 seconds left, Buddy

 

[JakeRae]

Hield thought there was one second left instead of 3.7? That was inexplicably dumb.

 

[nattysez]

That is some horrendous execution, Philly.

 

[bankshot1]

Fun 1st round series

 

[radsoxfan]

Tobias Harris is thrilled with this outcome, that's for sure.

Never seen someone so uninterested in playing a playoff game.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Hield thought he was going to be fouled so he fired it up.

 

[OnWisc]

Hieid forgot there was a number to the left of the decimal.

 

[TomRicardo]

Embiid is asking Brunson to get him on the Knicks

 

[Silverdude2167]

Maxi was coming up the court free, but yeah take a 30-foot turn around contested 3 with 3 seconds left buddy...

 

[OnWisc]

What does Philly do now?

 

[TomRicardo]

What does Philly do now?

Pray Paul George wants to leave LA and he is marginally better than Tobias Harris and having a real bench?

 

[Murderer's Crow]

Embiid is asking Brunson to get him on the Knicks

no thx

 

[bankshot1]

What does Philly do now?

Trust the process

 

[k-factory]

The irony of Philadelphia losing to Villanova in Knicks clothing

 

[stp130]

What does Philly do now?

Blow it up.

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

Silver lining for Morey - the Ainge poison pill in the Paul Reed contract of the last 2 years becoming guaranteed does not vest as PHI does not make semis.

Amazing.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Definitely think a Celtics-Knicks series is a 6 or 7-game affair. If the Celtics roll through the Knicks, should it happen, I'll feel very confident about the finals.

 

[TomRicardo]

Brunson with the dagger in the post game. He is a likable fellow, glad he got away from Luka.

 

[radsoxfan]

What does Philly do now?

Hope that Embiid's next knee MRI doesn't look like a bomb went off

 

[Ed Hillel]

Amazing.

What is this for? Embiid's contract?

 

[lars10]

So.. is Indy just a lot better offensively than Philly or is it just me? I guess the question will be whether or not they can keep NYK off the glass? Both offenses tonight were pretty ugly.

 

[lars10]

Trust the process

The nice thing with a process is it's completely open ended.

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

What is this for? Embiid's contract?

Paul Reed. I’ll edit my post.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

It’s hilarious how the Process was predicated on how the most important thing is not to be a treadmill team that flames out early in the playoffs every year, because that’s the worst thing to be, and that’s exactly what all that tanking got them a decade later.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That series was awesome. Bummer it had to end. Best of 21 next year.

Absolutely, more good scorers, more efficient.
