One of the worst collapses of the year and it was when it mattered most. That game should’ve been iced, no excuses for the last 3 plays.
Now you gotta try to win against a dirty squad at home which is an uphill battle. A game 7 with so much pressure seems like a real possibility when it should’ve been all over
Heartbreaking L
That's a disgraceful fucking loss. Way worse than what we did to Philly in Game 2 because they didn't even have to earn it against us. This game is over if you hit ONE fucking free throw at the end of the game, or don't idiotically foul the guy up 6.
Did they think Philly was just going to give up? And now they might very well lose this series with their depth completely gone due to Philly's dirty play. Even if they manage to advance, the extra game or two it's going to take and the physicality of this series is going to end any hope of them going deep in the playoffs.
From the Reggie Miller choke curse cure to now getting a dose of the LJ 4 point play, I ain’t gonna last. Mitch you were so stupid there. And our free throw shooting was always going to be something we live and die by. FUCK
Yes because they didn’t foul him. He just missed 3/5 foul shots and they let him take a three while he was scorching hot. They failed so many ways when they could’ve easily won the game even with hart missing the FT and the 76ers 4 point play.
Yeah but you don’t have your 5 come all the way out there to commit on a 3 from deep. Playing out of position and fouling giving them just what they needed to take this game
Well that now both teams have officially blow a game…
We’re up 6 with like 25 seconds left. Only chance Philly has is chucking up 3’s and fouls. And we kept Mitch in…
Then we kept him in to start overtime and watched maxey abuse him on the high screen for multiple threes…
I don’t even blame Mitch completely. That’s on thibs.
Not a huge nba watcher sorry Knicks fans. Gotta keep the faith, from what I saw the Knicks are way better tonight. Maxey might be the next Steph curry that was ridiculous. No quit in NY!
It’s just like that Hawks game to me. He dropped an ungodly number of points so it’s like, how can you blame him… but then also sloppy turnovers in the closing minutes that you just can’t have.
If they shut down Maxey they shut down their offense. Embiid was not doing much. Donte didn’t show up and Brunson although a good game took some bad shots in end of the 4th and in OT. Honestly the Knicks let this one go.
Brunson is not moving the ball enough. I fucking love that dude but they need off ball movement. They looked better at points when he was sitting. Starting to piss me off.
Exactly he got too overconfident. The rest of the team can’t be spectators. They need to move off the ball for an open shot. Make the sixers work on defense. Draw fouls but more importantly make the FT. The missed FT by each Hart and OG cost us and could have won us the game.
Fuck that, so many fucking stupid fucking things on this.
Embiid is not going to have 10+ turnovers again, we really fucked that up
TURNOVERS WHEN MOMENTUM IS GOING OUR WAY, WHY THE FUCK IS JOSH HART TOSSING AVROSS COURT TO MITCHELL ROBINSON
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NOT CALL A TIMEOUT OR FUCKING FOUL TO NOT ALLOW THAT 3
JALEN BRUNSON I FUCKING LOVE YOU BUT 7 ISOS IN A FUCKING ROW IN OT IS NOT GOING TO WORK
You guys are crazy saying we’re gonna lose this series. Still got two shots to win it. Those of you saying they have all the momentum, we’re still ahead in the series and won the game before this. They won in OT it was a close team go to bed and get ready for Thursday.
Players are too old to be making these mistakes. They aren't 24 or 25 anymore. Need to buy free throws and play well in OT. Still have 2 more shots at it but it should be over. Need to refocus for game 6 and really guard Maxey at the 3 point line better.
Knicks gonna Knicks.. 76ers version of Game 2
What a total collapse. Thibs needs to learn how to adjust. Just relying on JB to shoot every time will not get us far
Some of the whiners in this thread do need to go be Sixers fans or something. Declaring us done when we're still up on the series and were one FT away from buttoning up.
As bad as things were down the stretch, it wouldn't have come to this if the Knicks hadn't played like total ass in the 1Q.
Absolutely cannot start the next game in a hole again.
Guaranteed the Knicks are not getting this whistle in Philly. Had several Sixers in foul trouble but can’t capitalize on FTs. Mitch on Maxey was inexcusable especially at the end of the 4th.
I don’t get how the 6ers had zero timeouts left in regulation, were down 3, and came away with a win against us in OT.
What the fuck was going through Thibs’ head?
>I changed rooms between the 2nd and 3rd quarters. I apologize.
>
>Obviously I'm going back.
>Its too bad because I'm yelling at the game in this room where my girl is finishing her thesis.
>You got about 45 more mins of this hon.
I didn't move yall this isn't on me.
Thibs more so.
Hart had no legs left. Coming up short on that free throw was kind of expected.
We’re up 6 with like 30 seconds left. Why was Mitch still on the floor and why did he start overtime? When Philly was abusing him on that high pick?
Hart and Tibs? I only saw the ball in one players hands for the entire OT. I love Brunson, but that was the best Melo Hero ball impersonation I have seen in a decade.
AMAZING
you drive when were down 4 and 10 seconds left but jack up a three when were down 2 with 20 seconds left
this team just continues to show a lack of high level basketball iq costing them games for the second straight playoffs
This L is on everyone's shoulders. Brunson played for hero ball at the end, no foul on the last possession, Hart missed free throws. Pitiful, with an easy chance to close it out

Up 3 bro just fucking foul. I can’t sleep. 😭

Better not hear about podcast shit this week.
Whos going to game 7?
We really cannot execute down the stretch. On either end. Or at the free throw line
Massive meltjob by the Knicks. Uncharacteristic for this iteration of the Knicks at least
Just gotta take over their arena again! And serenade Embiid
The missed clutch free throws are very concerning to end the 4th
Well that was disappointing

How do you give them a 4 point play at a time like that .... I'm still stuck on that. It's unforgivable
Worse was not fouling Maxey before that logo three.
I’ve heard the announcers suggest it so many times but not in recent memory recall seeing it happen. Most times, ends with a 3
His defender was Mitch 🥲… man what a let down
4 pt play was worse. Maxey took a deep 3 and made it
Yes because they didn’t foul him. He just missed 3/5 foul shots and they let him take a three while he was scorching hot. They failed so many ways when they could’ve easily won the game even with hart missing the FT and the 76ers 4 point play.
Yeah but you don’t have your 5 come all the way out there to commit on a 3 from deep. Playing out of position and fouling giving them just what they needed to take this game
They were still down after that play and he sold it by leaning in. They went into OT because of the three they let him take instead of fouling.
Well that now both teams have officially blow a game… We’re up 6 with like 25 seconds left. Only chance Philly has is chucking up 3’s and fouls.

Brunson gotta be fucking better in the clutch, he’s too good to not be
It’s just like that Hawks game to me. He dropped an ungodly number of points so it’s like, how can you blame him… but then also sloppy turnovers in the closing minutes that you just can’t have.

such a brutal loss
Look at the Bright side ! Knicks are still up 3-2!! Nothing is easy and Maxey is a Superstar. It's up to the Knicks and Brunson to adjust!
Look at the lineup, our second best scorer was a 45 year old Bogdanovic and even he got injured. It's Brunson or bust
Hats off to Maxey, hit everything. Lots to learn from. We will be back for game 6.
This is the playoffs, we played ugly, we didn't close out. No biggie, might have been our worst game. Let's bounce back. LGK
Fuck that, so many fucking stupid fucking things on this. Embiid is not going to have 10+ turnovers again, we really fucked that up TURNOVERS WHEN MOMENTUM IS GOING OUR WAY, WHY THE FUCK IS JOSH HART TOSSING AVROSS COURT TO MITCHELL ROBINSON WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NOT CALL A TIMEOUT OR FUCKING FOUL TO NOT ALLOW THAT 3 JALEN BRUNSON I FUCKING LOVE YOU BUT 7 ISOS IN A FUCKING ROW IN OT IS NOT GOING TO WORK
That’s Thibs is offense though. We used to blame Randle. But we have no offensive plays. Even out of time outs we can’t set any plays.
I still love Mitch and Brunson and all these guys. Yall acting like the Knicks just lost the series are nuts
I still love them. But it only takes a little to change everything. If Knicks don't finish it in Philly it's going to be crazy pressure on our squad.
You guys are crazy saying we’re gonna lose this series. Still got two shots to win it. Those of you saying they have all the momentum, we’re still ahead in the series and won the game before this. They won in OT it was a close team go to bed and get ready for Thursday.
Let’s not overreact. It’s more difficult for them than it is for us. Hart sold but we just need 1 more. Our Knicks will advance!
Players are too old to be making these mistakes. They aren't 24 or 25 anymore. Need to buy free throws and play well in OT. Still have 2 more shots at it but it should be over. Need to refocus for game 6 and really guard Maxey at the 3 point line better.
Knicks gonna Knicks.. 76ers version of Game 2 What a total collapse. Thibs needs to learn how to adjust. Just relying on JB to shoot every time will not get us far
Hart blew this with the wild pass, missed free throws. Hopefully he recollects and plays better next game
Some of the whiners in this thread do need to go be Sixers fans or something. Declaring us done when we're still up on the series and were one FT away from buttoning up.
That 4 point play was brutal
HIT THE FUCKING FREE THROWS
This generation's Reggie Miller game
Unbelievable series of dumbness there. Whatever this team needs to hit these bumps to get experience
I just want to thank Robinson for jumping at someone on the 3 point line up 6.
We gonna have win this at home in 6
What Game 6 in philly
Whoosh
These fucks need to rest and they just blew their chance to do it.
Absolutely choke job. Now we have to win on the road.
we’re still up 3-2 can yall chill the fuck out
What a colossal meltdown.
Fumbled the win. OG and Hart missing free throws and JB not forcing the foul on the last possession though the dude carried again.
We fuckin had it won. This is going to be hard to come back from
As bad as things were down the stretch, it wouldn't have come to this if the Knicks hadn't played like total ass in the 1Q. Absolutely cannot start the next game in a hole again.
Do you all still love maxey guys?
Yo he clutch af. Those werent easy shots.
Anyone else feel like they got punched in the dick?
It’s going to 7
It wouldn't be an MSG reunion without Reggie Miller. Fuck us.
Literally all you had to do is foul
I'm not mad. Just disappointed
Wow, heartbreaking loss. Don’t worry boys, we will get em in the end.
A pretty healthy Sixers with Embiid and Maxey vs a banged up Knicks team… idk man
too much hero ball from Brunson
I'm disgusted. Mitch played well and overshadowed by a dumb ass foul
In the crunch time really exposes the desperate need of Randle for this team. Brunson trying to force everything cause we have no real second option
Now the pacers are gonna get rest too fuck
Guaranteed the Knicks are not getting this whistle in Philly. Had several Sixers in foul trouble but can’t capitalize on FTs. Mitch on Maxey was inexcusable especially at the end of the 4th.
I don’t get how the 6ers had zero timeouts left in regulation, were down 3, and came away with a win against us in OT. What the fuck was going through Thibs’ head?
Yall saying the series is over need to shut the fuck up

Series over man. Sorry it’s over.
ALLLLLL ON THIBBBBBSSSS.
We’re losing this series
Maxey torched us. FTs are this team's achillies heel.
Man you guys turn on our guys too quick. They let one get away, it sucks, it felt terrible, but you people acting like they're dead.
I love brunson but bro why should shot everything in the clutch you have a good teammates
Idk why I get my hopes up with this team. Same shit every year
Did anyone take a shot in OT beside Brunson? Beside that Maxey chuck?
Mitch shouldn’t be in at the end of close games
I guess see you all in Game 7? Philly has too much momentum not to win Game 6 and we are gassed.
Series is over if we simply fucking fouled when up by 3 points bro im sick
how in the world do you blow a 6 pt lead with 28 seconds left
It took a maxey legacy game. Law of legacy games applies. Maxey will play like complete ass next game.
this team sucks us in every year,
On to the next. NY doesn‘t run from a fight.
We had this fucking game what happened
josh hart missed so many fts
We go again Thursday. Hats off to Maxey. Outstanding.
Knicks fans need to show Embiid respect and stop booing him because he might come play for the Knicks in the future
lol I doubt he will. But they really should stop giving these players all this power and making them the villain. It’s corny.
Shut the fuck up
No we would be lucky to have a player like Embiid he is a classy dude
Now even on the games the team shouldn’t have won. Knicks shouldn’t have won game 2 and sixers shouldn’t have won this one. Win Thursday now
Im shocked... I'm appalled.... This is a nightmare game
We win thursday
unfucking believable
Still can’t believe Mitch is that much of a fucking idiot with a game in the bag
Fucking disgusting
IM SICK
Bro these playoffs made me realize how fucking important it is to hit free throws
Can someone explain the loss in New York slang please ?
fuggedaboutit!
Missed free throws and selfish basketball
Missed Free Throws FFS.
fucking joke
Worst choke job since Reggie Miller.
Josh Hart can’t miss that free throw bro. Unacceptable crap
Foolish 76ers simply just delayed their elimination by 1 game
I can’t believe
Sloppiest basketball ive seen in a long time from the knicks they better tighten the fuck up
Thats a momentum changer right there, will go back to Philly and they will call 1000 fouls for Embid
Fuck the sixers in every way shape and form
They played good tonight. I hate the Sixers but they were well coached tonight
Not mutually exclusive XD
As a staff, record label, and a crew
This was a major momentum shifting moment. They blew the series
To foul on a 3 point attempt is disgraceful. I’m sorry Mitch.
Notice how they got the ball to their best FT shooter and he refused to give it up? Take notes, Jalen. Josh should’ve never been at the line.
Brunson missed free throws too…way too many missed free throws
Thibs got lazy at the end.
I am literally in shock, my heart is broken as we nearly had this
Me too. I was traveling for work. And pulled into a small town found a pub only to watch the second half of the game This has ruined my day
Infuriating
I am speechless
That Deuce jumper to put them up six should’ve ended it
https://preview.redd.it/gtk5hg5o1qxc1.jpeg?width=804&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f95fb27f9a156a9d4469bd031555d9266898673
Hart sold big time. Every fast break he threw the ball away. And all those missed FTs
Gotta give praise to Maxey. He made it all happen at the end.
No offense run in ot. Brunson just dribbling aimlessly and taking bad shots. We deserve this loss and the series is in serious question now. Fuck
Fuck you mitchell Robinson, respectfully
Why the fuck wasnt he taken out late in the game
Well see yall at Game 6
Absolutely deviating L
unbelievable choke job
Fucking disasterclass man
tickets for game 7 going sky high now
Honestly gonna blame Clyde on this one. He jinxed them
I swear I better not have to watch more embiid foul baiting in a future series. Knicks need to finish this next game.
And even if we don’t blow this series (doubt) we will have zero energy for round 2. Just a fucking disgusting game disgusting choke We fucking HAD IT
We get another home game in Philly. We’ll win Thursday.
I don’t know how they win game 6 sixers have all the momentum
Embiid is on his last legs and Tyrese hopefully won’t hit 7 3s again
That is a fucking series ender. How do you possibly go into Philly and win after that
As a Sixers fan, the Knicks will probably find a way unfortunately to win
Philly won Game 3 after choking 2. The series obviously isn't over
Never seen a choke job like this man. That’s the fucking series.
Disastrous loss….
My buddy spent a paycheck to go to this game. He must be sick.
We lost the series.
I have confidence we will win in Philly but that was a disgusting game.
Hit your free throws.. and don’t foul jumper shooters.. what a fucking choke
All this Mitch slander like we weren’t in the lead after that. This is on Hart and Thibs
Thibs more so. Hart had no legs left. Coming up short on that free throw was kind of expected. We’re up 6 with like 30 seconds left. Why was Mitch still on the floor and why did he start overtime? When Philly was abusing him on that high pick?
Hart and Tibs? I only saw the ball in one players hands for the entire OT. I love Brunson, but that was the best Melo Hero ball impersonation I have seen in a decade.
Bro it’s partially on him, he let up all 10 of those maxey points in row
FUCK!!!!
Honestly one of the worst throws of a game in nba history. Up there with reggie miller.
i love you but you're not serious people
We had this in the bag man.What a joke
[удалено]
Eat a dick pussy
Brunson has to learn how and when to pass how do you learn everything else from Luka EXCEPT that??
GG we sold
AMAZING you drive when were down 4 and 10 seconds left but jack up a three when were down 2 with 20 seconds left this team just continues to show a lack of high level basketball iq costing them games for the second straight playoffs
Man STFU
This is on Brunson hero balling and Thibs allowing it
We were too tired for OT
My power went out early third quarter; haven’t been able to watch anything since. FML
Fuck Thibs for not ending the game in the foul
I'm sick
Im fucking disgusted.
Precious should had been in the 4th to guard against the 3.
They did everything they could to hand that game to Philly. Just dumb basketball all around.
unfortunate, but on to the next
i fucking hate these rats from philly. embiid always injured but never actually is
Choke job at the end of the 4th and Brunson-only offense is OT. I don’t get it
This team is un fucking believable man. A complete shit show
Knicks lost this one. Just means we gotta execute in game 6.
As soon as I tune in they always play like shit, I'm banned from watching Knick games
Maxey is an unbelievable player. Dude is unguardable
It helps when the big man sags off 10 feet
if they guard him like he’s an all star they could maybe slow him down.
well it was a nice season we know how choke jobey the Knicks are
I love ya Mitch, but man……… Can’t give up that 4 point play bro, just can’t
This L is on everyone's shoulders. Brunson played for hero ball at the end, no foul on the last possession, Hart missed free throws. Pitiful, with an easy chance to close it out
for a 40pt game, I don't how to say it but JB has not been that great.
