  • The Philadelphia 76ers lost to the New York Knicks and are now down 2-0 in the NBA Playoffs. Joel Embiid said that “a bunch of fouls is unacceptable” and that the 76ers will go on to win the series as the better team. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes discuss if Embiid’s comments are valid and if the 76ers still can beat the Knicks.

      Did you see the ticky tack fouls Brunson got in the first half? Maxey gets fouled TWICE at the end of the game, and that's not me saying it, it was the NBA report that came out and said today he got fouled two times on that play, and he Joel is not allowed to get mad his boy got mugged? Really?! Now Lowry shouldn't have thrown it, Tobias should have blocked out, Maxey shouldn't have tried to pass the ball, sure all that is true as well. It was still a blown call that cost the game. And back to Brunson, never seen anything like it, except oh yeah, Trae Young like 3 years ago. J thought they got rid of those jumping into guys to draw a foul but I guess not in NYC in the playoffs for some odd reason 🤦‍♂️

    Im sick of this foul argument. For starters Maxey pushed off of Hart, so to me thats only fair to let it go on the other end, and the league should be ashamed of themselves for omitting that. Secondly, they overturned an obvious foul call earlier in the quarter. Sixers got the benefit of the doubt twice and the Refs evened it out when they didn't call timeout on the inbounds pass. Just another star player and star coach looking for assistance from the officials, and crying about how unfair things are when they don't get it.

  • @TheBigChief4

    Props to Knicks for winning this games 👏
    There is no accountability from Embiid ever... And the truth is that his game is just not good enough to get a W when it's important.. his style of playing is not good enough to elavate teammates and team, but it does just the opposite... Having him as a first star of the team will absolutely never bring a victory or a championship, if you don't put 4 other superstars around him.. and I'm 100 percent sure of that... So unless he lowers his ego and allowes someone else to guide that team while he is 2nd best on it... which also demends media and fans to stop expecting of him something that he cannot deliver, and stop putting him in the shoes he is not ready to fill.. unless that happens Embiid and his fans can right now enter "The Process" of accepting never winning a championship.
    P.S. And on the other side, you can find the same pattern in which some people always root and have doubts against Jokic and Nuggets, no matter who they are playing against, as well as have unexplainable support for Embiid, and everyone else they find remotely close or capable to threaten Jokic's amazing performances and results. Not only that's not fair to Jokic, Nuggets, than whoever they are playing, Embiid, AD.. But also I think that is nothing short of hilarious.

    first of all Embiid is a disgrace, literally every single year this man has built in excuses with these injuries, have you ever seen a man, who's in his prime age of life, making millions, be so soft? the nerve of this guy to sit out his first two years and miss 20 games a year and he even sat out a playoff game for a tummy ache, and I'm a sixers fan! and Tyrese Maxey?! this kid literally had the ball stripped from him, another play he fell to the floor and rolled the ball to a Knicks player, and another drive lost the ball out of bounds, 3 key possessions this kid is choking, and Tobias Harris? he was salty because sixers fans would trade him for a crumble cookie, he got mad because a cookie has more talent than him, making 120 million and this guy year after year can't come up big in anyway, people need to wake up and start exposing Embiid, he's a clown, shaq has zero respect for him and I understand why

Unfortunately he always gets hurt right before the playoffs. Im not saying hes an MJ playoff performer but this series is an absilute blowout without him. Brunson has had an average two games at best his supporting cast is just performing. Maybe if Tobias Harris could out up more than 10 ppg we wiuld have a real series. And no im not a sixers fan im just not dumb

  • @diamondw1858

    Finally, hearing someone acknowledge how Lowry and Nurse should've gone for the timeout PRIOR to the chaos, not after it's been tossed in and possession isn't clearly determined. We see it all the time to save teams from the 5-second turnover when the ball needs to be thrown in. Not to mention they had PLENTY of time for a clear shot attempt at the end of the game. Instead, they tossed it between Maxey and Embiid and let the latter toss up the last shot. It's like they'd already given up, and then they turn around and complain about fouls.
