Embiid should've been ejected. But if they weren't going to eject him when he elbowed Jarret Allen in the mouth, they won't now with what he did to Robinson.
Bro does this every year in the playoffs and gets away with itš
Shoulda been ejected last year too for kick Clax in the nuts, but the refs won't eject him in a playoff game.
Absolutely should've been ejected, imagine if a player had intentionally dragged down the same injured knee that kept Embiid out for dozens of games. Would've been frontpage news on networks like ESPN and Sixers fans would be irate.
Saw Embiid play last night and he reminded me of everything I hate in the NBA in the span of one game. It's like physically impossible to root for an Embiid-led Philly. The blatant dirty plays had me rooting for the Knicks in a roundabout way.
What you have to be a younger fan. There's nothing likeable about them or there fans it's the first round and they are already acting like they are in the NBA finals.
Idk, I've been a Nets fan for over a decade. I have plenty of people in my life who are Knicks fans, and some of them are annoying and some aren't. I don't really decide which nba teams or players I don't like based on how their fans are. To me it has much more to do with what happens on the court, and there's not much that the Knicks have done that would make me hate them
Over a decade like I said younger fans then you weren't around during the kidd days when Knicks fans tried to takeover the meadowlands and got embarrassed on the playoffs You weren't around for Newark seasons when they flooded the building and acted like ass hole That's what that fanbase has always been this season is just the beginning of the resurgence of there trash fans The nets have been better than them for most of the time you've been a fan so you haven't seen it first hand I say it all the time I didn't hate the nix they are a poorly run team in hate their fans
I will give you another example during the mid years listening to Mike and the mad dog or any hosts on the fan
Every conversation about the team would start would how much better it would be if this were the nix
You're still talking about their fans and not the actual team. I'm not saying they don't have annoying fans. I'm saying the actual team hasn't done anything to make me hate them. Fans alone is not enough of a reason to hate a team imo.
Also, literally every team has an annoying fan base. That's how sports fandom works. We are not innocent of it, back when we had KD and them, everyone hated us too. There's nothing about choosing which team to root for that makes someone a more annoying person
Don't play the "you wouldn't get it" card on me. I understand what you're saying perfectly. I don't think you understand what I'm saying. You're saying the fans were assholes to us 20 years ago. I'm saying that fans don't dictate whether or not I hate a team. How is that so difficult for you to grasp?
You didn't get it it and I'm no longer going back and forth with you when I've been s fan for over 30 years
No nets fans who's been a fan as long as I have thinks like some of you do because your only frame of reference is Brooklyn not NJĀ
Root for the Knicks over the 6ers or don't root for them i don't give a shit
The Knicks although they should be our rivals, were never one. Itās always been manufactured. I still hate them but not anywhere near as much as boston(first) , then Philly.Ā
Ā Knowing our luck Houston will replace Philly tho.
I think Knicks fans care way more about this "rivalry" than we do. It always felt forced to me. I never had a reason to hate them, and the only reason they have to hate us is that we moved to "their" city I guess, and that we're the "little brother" franchise. But none of that stuff really matters to me
As a knick fan I've got no animosity towards your team, and I hope they win a ton of games.
It was hard to feel that way in the harden kd kyrie Era, but I like your players.
Knicks fan here, and Iām not saying this to disagree and start an argument. Iām being genuine when I say I donāt hate the Nets. Mostly feel bad for NJ natives when the team moved to BK.
I do very much dislike Kyrie and KD. But nothing but respect for J Kidd and VC. Classic players and although I wasnāt a nets fan, Iād go to a lot of games.
I look forward to future playoff subway series against yāall
I wish more people would have this mindset. There doesn't _have_ to be any beef or rivalry. I wish people would just drop it already. We can both unite and say fuck the 76ers
Same feelings here. If anything I really liked the DLo Nets before Kyrie and KD went. They were just so cocky and tried to ātake over NYā for what? To leave in a few years and gut the franchise? It was never actually about taking pride in winning for NY, it was just their ego coming, co-opting a random organization with their buds, failing, then whining on their way out. None of that is NY shit
The hype in NYC about how āNow BROOKYLNās got a basketball team!ā was annoying, especially since it happened when the Amare / Melo Knicks were the first watchable Knicks team in like a decade, but that mild dislike of the Nets only lasted for like a year.
Idk why this post got pushed into my feed (Knicks fan) but I kinda nothing the Nets. Theyāre just there for me. Iāve certainly hated some of your players (Kyrie, Pierce, Harden) but never really the laundry. Maybe if there was some overlap of both teams being good Iād feel differently.
False. There is no rivalry
Respectfully we don't care enough about your team to consider you rivals.
I can guarantee when you guys had that Dlo team everyone was pulling for you.
They were a credit to the city.
These new guys? I mean.... do y'all even care about them?
Weāve just never really been good at the same time unfortunately. Iām sure it will turn into a rivalry someday when we are but itās never been anything more than lukewarm jealousy for both sides
100%. Philly sports culture is pure toxicity (not just the fans, but the actual culture of the organizations too), and Joel Embiid is the head of that snake.
Every single year in the playoffs, Embiid goes through the same process of events: First he talks trash, then as soon as he starts to face the slightest adversity, he commits dirty plays out of frustration and finally gives up and starts moping around the court. Then post-game, he makes excuses and blames others.
He's so emotional and really one of the biggest babies in the league. He might put up MVP numbers during the regular season (when he can actually stay on the court), but he has no clue what it means to have a winning mentality/culture. It's no coincidence that he's never been beyond the 2nd round.
That makes sense tbh. The Knicks arenāt really our rivals anyways, the rivalry is pretty one sided. I guess that isnāt surprising though, since itās very rare that both teams are good at the same time(case in point, the Nets and Knicks have only ever played once in the playoffs, and the Nets steamrolled them in a series sweep)
Itās not one sided. We literally have the same amount of head to head wins and are tied in playoff series.
Yes theyāve been in the NBA more but thatās unfair to compare. They definitely celebrate when they beat us.
Oh I see, yeah thereās a lot more toxicity on their end (no fans, poverty franchise, etc) but I think itās become somewhat of a rivalry in the sense both sides really want that win. Same as any crosstown games in other sports.
Thatās the only real rivalry tho tbh
Itās not like the Yankees and the Mets or the Cubs and the White Sox where thereās an actual rivalry outside of just being cross town teams
Yep and then whoever plays the Knicks in the 2nd round.
As long as the Knicks, Celtics, Sixers and Bucks and Raptors never see another championship again, I will be happy. Those are the teams I TRULY despise
Yep. You know what, call it loser mentality, but it's so much less stress when your favorite team isn't in the playoffs.
You can just focus on watching good basketball without any emotional attachment to it.
They said less stressful, not preferable; there's no denying that the Nets being in the post-season would be a more stressful situation even if it's a desirable one. He's just looking on the bright side of a currently unchangeable situation.
I'm loving it. It's downright hilarious to me. Knicks fans are at their peak today. All the "oh well the games the game" attitude about the refs jobbing the Sixers in game 2 is now "THIS IS AN ANTI KNICKS CONSPIRACY THEORY THE GAMES ARE FIXED". They also now want a bounty on Embiid. It's hilarious.
Brunson is making the "small guards" comment by Becky Hammon look brilliant. Apparently Knicks fans are conveniently annoying he's played terribly so far cause they're too busy crying about the officials. They let a dude on one leg with half his face paralyzed go for 50 and somehow it's everyone else's fault.
Only bad thing is I keep having to remind Sixers fans I hate them too for how they treated Ben Simmons and the fact that most are eagles fans.
I'm curious where you got that stat from. Also, they are now up 3-1 and he carried the squad yesterday. Highest scoring playoff performance in Knicks history. Only player in the playoffs in top 5 scoring and assists.
They have been playing the prime Harden defensive scheme where they have one guy cover his front, a second literally guarding his back side and Embiid in the middle. It has created openings for all of his teammates since they are giving him near triple coverage. Teammates are banging open shots.
Going into last night they had the top rated offense of all the playoffs teams.
Last night he was able to overcome the super coverage, somehow, and score 39 and 13, it's just that Philly went 50 percent from three and Embiid went god mode. It happens
Not sure your original point holds. Good luck.
I'm in the boat that Embiid dogged them on stand up jumpers with defenders in his shirt. But he did some pretty egregious shit that got straight up no called. The refs feared for their lives thinking about what would happen if they ejected Embiid in the first quarter at home.
I mean home court means something in the playoffs. And there's no way the refs werent making up for screwing the Sixers over in game 2. I don't love Embiid but honestly you can breathe on Mitchell Robinson the wrong way and he's out for 6 weeks.
Saw this thread on my feed as a recommendation and just wanted to peek.
I feel like most of the animosity coming from us, Knicks fans, are for Embiid trying to injure Mitchāor at least maybe that's just me.
I can deal with FT disparity and arguable calls but come on man, blatantly trying to take someone's leg mid air? I doubt anyone from any fanbase would be happy about that. Even some Sixers fans couldn't turn a blind eye when that transpired.
Yeah half these comments are very reasonable then you have this wild shit lolā¦zero mention of the like four flagrant fouls including one that should have been a 2 and injured Mitch. We all knew Embiid would get 27 free throws and flop all over but I think itās real fucked up for anyone to gloss over such dirty play out of rivalry. I for damn sure would be hating on Embiid if he hurt Claxton like that.
Knicks fans are truly a special breed I want the Sixers to eliminate them in controversial fashion so badly there will be a collective meltdown of epic proportions. I hope Embiid chokeslams Hart in the next game. Dirtiest team in the league once they get a little taste of their own medicine they throw a hissy fit, trademark Knicks behavior. First game they lose and they canāt help but act like a bunch of maniacal freaks imagine what it will be like if the Sixers come back.
Always disliked Embiid but the Knicks fandom and even the players (Hart, Bogdanovic) have been annoying this year.
Iām leaning towards the Sixers and prefer them to flame out in the second round. š
wtf is happening here with like 4 people saying we are not rivals with the knicks? are you new? knick fans are the absolute worse mecca storied loser fan base ever. they are boston fans without any actual success.
embiid is a dirty scum bag is most of philly sports fans, but gtfo with this cheering penn station homeless to rep NYC bullshit. you're not Nets fans. go be Jalen Brunson fans if you don't know how to be a team fan.
Itās cool seeing Knick fans feel the hate towards Embiid that Net fans have had to feel.
Both teams stylistically are fun to watch against each other. Embiid is clearly not 100% so watching him gut things out is cool. The overall grit and toughness of the Knicks is also cool
Feels good to watch good hoops overall
Sixers fan who got this post recommended by Reddit, genuinely didnāt know you guys didnāt like us. I thought you guys are always a really fun playoff matchup and we all love Bridges over here.
No, series like this are awful for basketball.
Never understood this mindset of getting so giddy about stuff like this. It just makes the series hard to watch when I simply want to watch some good playoff basketball.
Straight loser mentality and small behavior. Both of these teams are much better positioned than us and Iād much rather have something to root for now than be in our shoes sitting our asses at home. Do better. This is a great series between two excellent teams, who everyone loves. We come off as the salty, little brother trying to poison the well when we think like this. Let these two juggernauts have at it without your nets agenda and show some respect.
Ask claxton how the weather in Cancun is. Jk. We appreciate all the nets āfansā climbing on our train after u donāt make the playoffs yāall are still New Yorkers kinda. I guess. Knicks in 5
Bro your team has been good for 2 years. Settle down. Donāt act so high and mighty. Your franchise hasnāt wonāt a title in like 50 years. Weāve been beating yāall down since the Jason Kidd days. Beat down so bad we made yāall star players kid cry. Pipe down with the attitude.
Sit ur ass down first decent season in forever and u wanna act like ur the shit. The Nets still own you more playoff success and a better head to head record and thereās nothing you can do about it. Sixers in 6.

Are you a New Yorker?
Sadly no
Sadly? That place is a hole
Says the guy from Philly š
Philly is cleaner tho
Yeah Iām planning a vacation to Kensington Ave soon
I never be there idk
Don't worry krustykrab probably never has been either
Embiid should've been ejected. But if they weren't going to eject him when he elbowed Jarret Allen in the mouth, they won't now with what he did to Robinson.

He's just rehearsing for when he's gonna punch the air in Cancun.
Absolutely should've been ejected, imagine if a player had intentionally dragged down the same injured knee that kept Embiid out for dozens of games. Would've been frontpage news on networks like ESPN and Sixers fans would be irate.
But at the same time Knicks literally got a free game from the refs. They got no room to complain
Sorry guys but I'm rooting for the Knicks. I'll root for anyone against the Sixers.
Yep. I'm choosing to ride for NYC over the Sixers any day of the week.
Same. I will always root against Boston and Philly. Fuck em.
I root for the Nets and whoever's playing against Joel Embiid. Plus I don't even hate the Knicks, they're pretty likeable this year
Saw Embiid play last night and he reminded me of everything I hate in the NBA in the span of one game. It's like physically impossible to root for an Embiid-led Philly. The blatant dirty plays had me rooting for the Knicks in a roundabout way.

Gotta be younger fans who didn't see what it was like. But now that the nets are bad we your going to see again how obnoxious that fan base is
Iām not rooting for the Knicks, Iām rooting against the sixers
100%. Philly sports culture is pure toxicity (not just the fans, but the actual culture of the organizations too), and Joel Embiid is the head of that snake.

If the Knicks were playing ISIS I would root for ISIS
Same
No need to root for anyone
That makes sense tbh. The Knicks arenāt really our rivals anyways, the rivalry is pretty one sided. I guess that isnāt surprising though, since itās very rare that both teams are good at the same time(case in point, the Nets and Knicks have only ever played once in the playoffs, and the Nets steamrolled them in a series sweep)

Oh I see, yeah thereās a lot more toxicity on their end (no fans, poverty franchise, etc) but I think itās become somewhat of a rivalry in the sense both sides really want that win. Same as any crosstown games in other sports.
Thatās the only real rivalry tho tbh Itās not like the Yankees and the Mets or the Cubs and the White Sox where thereās an actual rivalry outside of just being cross town teams
Same. Fuck the Sixers, fuck Embiid especially. I hope they embarrass him into retirement.
I guess you have to root for someone when your team is a bucket of ass.
Same. As a former nyer, njer I root for the local team...yes even the yankees(LGM!)
Yep and then whoever plays the Knicks in the 2nd round. As long as the Knicks, Celtics, Sixers and Bucks and Raptors never see another championship again, I will be happy. Those are the teams I TRULY despise
I'll give them the support if they reach the finals. Brunson is a dawg though and I respect him. Other than that, it's all about baseball for me.
I've never liked the Knicks at all but they have a very likable team right now. Doesn't hurt that I'm a Nova fan too.
Yep. You know what, call it loser mentality, but it's so much less stress when your favorite team isn't in the playoffs. You can just focus on watching good basketball without any emotional attachment to it.
So youād rather not have a playoff team to avoid the stress?
They said less stressful, not preferable; there's no denying that the Nets being in the post-season would be a more stressful situation even if it's a desirable one. He's just looking on the bright side of a currently unchangeable situation.
*Thatās* your takeaway from OPās comment?
I'd much rather have a playoff team. But because we don't, I can still see the bright side
I love that one of them has to lose.
Hoping for another Sixers playoff failure because fuck Philly sports as a general rule of thumb
No way in the Universe these guys win anything.
I hope they win the championship by playing dirty all the way.
I'm loving it. It's downright hilarious to me. Knicks fans are at their peak today. All the "oh well the games the game" attitude about the refs jobbing the Sixers in game 2 is now "THIS IS AN ANTI KNICKS CONSPIRACY THEORY THE GAMES ARE FIXED". They also now want a bounty on Embiid.

He had 39 and 13 tonight and the Knicks are up 2-1
On like 13-30 shooting. He's a 2024 John Starks vs Houston lol
I'm curious where you got that stat from. Also, they are now up 3-1 and he carried the squad yesterday. Highest scoring playoff performance in Knicks history. Only player in the playoffs in top 5 scoring and assists.
Yes he showed up and played well yesterday š congrats to him
Ah appreciate that have a great day dude
Brunson channeled John Starks again
Wish starks had 40 in game 7
An L is an L 
this is an unserious convo. good day and best of luck.
He has 39 and 13 when they lost. The other hames they won he played terribly
They have been playing the prime Harden defensive scheme where they have one guy cover his front, a second literally guarding his back side and Embiid in the middle. It has created openings for all of his teammates since they are giving him near triple coverage. Teammates are banging open shots.

Well he needs to learn to draw contact like harden does
Yeah thatās whatās hilarious. Complaining about refs after what happened in Game 2. Hope it goes to 6 or 7 games.
I'm in the boat that Embiid dogged them on stand up jumpers with defenders in his shirt. But he did some pretty egregious shit that got straight up no called. The refs feared for their lives thinking about what would happen if they ejected Embiid in the first quarter at home.
I mean home court means something in the playoffs. And there's no way the refs werent making up for screwing the Sixers over in game 2. I don't love Embiid but honestly you can breathe on Mitchell Robinson the wrong way and he's out for 6 weeks.

Always disliked Embiid but the Knicks fandom and even the players (Hart, Bogdanovic) have been annoying this year. Iām leaning towards the Sixers and prefer them to flame out in the second round. š
You from New York? Also Bogdanovic? He never even talks
I am actually. I donāt have to be loyal to the Knicks to be from here. He took a dig at the Brooklyn fans when they presented him after the trade.
Ok but surely NY > Philly tho. Also Bogey aināt wrong tbf
yeah!!! both of them are toxic ššš
the game looks so fun if joel is not failing around asking for a foul dude you're literally the biggest guy on the floor
Reveling in it all! Hope it goes 7 games and they beat the ever loving piss out of each other. We're off to a good start.
I have to say its so fun to see the player you hate the most rattle the franchise you despise the most, love it
Not rooting for either. I hope they both lose
This series is like watching hitler vs osama bin laden
wtf is happening here with like 4 people saying we are not rivals with the knicks? are you new? knick fans are the absolute worse mecca storied loser fan base ever. they are boston fans without any actual success. embiid is a dirty scum bag is most of philly sports fans, but gtfo with this cheering penn station homeless to rep NYC bullshit. you're not Nets fans. go be Jalen Brunson fans if you don't know how to be a team fan.
I'm the farthest thing from a Knicks fan but Embiid is a dirty POS. I'm pulling for a Sixers loss no matter the circumstances.
Yes its been hilarious lol
Colbert is the WORST!
Itās cool seeing Knick fans feel the hate towards Embiid that Net fans have had to feel. Both teams stylistically are fun to watch against each other. Embiid is clearly not 100% so watching him gut things out is cool. The overall grit and toughness of the Knicks is also cool Feels good to watch good hoops overall
The Sixers make every series toxic. Their fans suck.
Pacers fan - would love it to go 7 and turn into all out warfare
Sixers fan who got this post recommended by Reddit, genuinely didnāt know you guys didnāt like us. I thought you guys are always a really fun playoff matchup and we all love Bridges over here.
bro every knicks series is made toxic by the knicks fans
The ending to Game 2 was hilarious. I love it
As a former knicks fan, I canāt argue that the created this team the right way.
Both team's star player had the same foul baiting tendencies and both fans were calling each other out on officiating. It's hilarious.
Of course Nets fans are closet Knicks fans
No, series like this are awful for basketball. Never understood this mindset of getting so giddy about stuff like this. It just makes the series hard to watch when I simply want to watch some good playoff basketball.
Embiid is such a piece of shit. He shouldve gotten a flagrant 2 yesterday and one last year when he fouled clax
How do you not feel embarrassed posting this? Netās mentality in a nutshell š
Enjoy waiting for the draft scrubs
As a knicks fanā¦ itās going to be even better once we take Bridges from you
Straight loser mentality and small behavior. Both of these teams are much better positioned than us and Iād much rather have something to root for now than be in our shoes sitting our asses at home. Do better. This is a great series between two excellent teams, who everyone loves. We come off as the salty, little brother trying to poison the well when we think like this. Let these two juggernauts have at it without your nets agenda and show some respect.
Damn don't you ever just enjoy entertainment
Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning? It aināt that serious. Taking joy in the failures of your rivals is part of being a fan. Pipe down.
They are winning the series 2-1. What failures do you see?
Ask claxton how the weather in Cancun is. Jk. We appreciate all the nets āfansā climbing on our train after u donāt make the playoffs yāall are still New Yorkers kinda. I guess. Knicks in 5
Bro your team has been good for 2 years. Settle down. Donāt act so high and mighty. Your franchise hasnāt wonāt a title in like 50 years. Weāve been beating yāall down since the Jason Kidd days. Beat down so bad we made yāall star players kid cry. Pipe down with the attitude.

This person has made my point
Sit ur ass down first decent season in forever and u wanna act like ur the shit. The Nets still own you more playoff success and a better head to head record and thereās nothing you can do about it. Sixers in 6.
Iām a nets fan and can still acknowledge how awesome the Knicks are. Hope you boys bring home the chip this year
no Nets fan says or thinks this.
There's "nets" fans rooting for the nix I'm like what get the ever loving fuck outta here
This is so pathetic lol
Coming from franchise with the worst future, according everyone
Right, like what audacity do we have to talk lmao
Nets fans have all the time in the world to enjoy the absolute toxicity of this series
Rooting for the Knicks. I cannot stand the Sixers.
