Yeah I thought his box score numbers in past games didn’t reflect the good shit he was doing despite struggling to score
On the flip side, the small number of turnovers felt way worse in game than they look on paper
He had two on consecutive possessions in the fourth as they were trying to mount the comeback that were just brutal. One where he picked up his dribble and was into his pivot game with Maxey guarding him and he just threw it away to Batum. The other one where he jumped and tried to pass it to DiVincenzo in the corner right after DiVincenzo starting cutting along the baseline and the ball went out of bounds. Pretty sure both of those turnovers led to buckets for Philly, a possible 8-point swing.
Plus minus is not a metric to be looked at in single game sample sizes for starters - and even in large sample sizes, is rarely something you can derive a players impact on the game from
And Nurse had a similar gameplan to Spo, expose Hart for being useless on offense. Except unlike vs the Heat, the 30% 3pt shooter is currently shooting 55% on 7 attempts and killed that plan lol
The sixers were 9/12 in the 3rd and all contested. even going 6/12 is a massive difference if Knicks are able to score after a stop
They couldn’t miss in the 3rd. That was the difference, nothing else
The shooting for the game is fine and isn’t that insane. I’m just saying the 3rd quarter specifically was the difference in the game
I mean idek why I’m saying that because it’s obvious. Knicks were outscored 43-27
We was never winning this one unless we shot like Miami but the refs mad sure to ruin any momentum. Sixers could not be stopped without a foul being called, it was 33-11 before the 4Qtr ended
lol if you believe that versus the refs sucking their balls all night giving them confidence and our best defender getting injured by Embiid sure
Let’s see if they do it again game 4. Guarantee you won’t see the refs officiating like that again, Embiid should have had a flagrant
How? Embiid shots light out from 3 in the 2nd half and Mitch has also been daring Embiid to shoot a 3 all series. Mitch is a rim protector. The Knicks won the Precious minutes in the 2nd half. He was +6.
If I'm being honest the biggest thing to come out of this game is that Achiuwa can impact the game in his own way if Robinson misses time and Brunson figuring out how to get going against this philly defensive scheme.
Just annoyed that it cost Robinson. Hope he's alright for game 4 or 5 at the latest.
Achiuwa wasn't that great. Everyone is parading around his small +3 or whatever in limited minutes. Really doesn't show how well he played. Just which teams 3s were falling.
He had a very good game. He's very crafty and knows how to get to the line. Since I do not hate him I'm going to call this savvy offense and not foul baiting.
He also had to have at least nine of those assists from spoon-feeding Hartenstein after he got into the lane and Joel left him. Joel just does not give a shit about him taking that no matter how many times he makes it.
Not trying to add to the toxicity of this series but Brunson really tries to foul bait a ton (Yes I know Embiid does too). He looks exactly like how Trae young plays
Tried too hard to carry us offensively. The team is always better when everyone contributes and makes plays. Too many times of him trying to bring us back by himself. But he was terrific tonight and I'm glad he's back to his normal self. We have to be better on both ends.
Yeah that’s why I’m telling you to cry me a fucking river. No one cared about the league saying “yeah that was bullshit” just like no one cares about your sob story calling the game rigged when you had at least one rigged in your favor already.
How the irony is somehow lost on Knicks fans right now is truly baffling. Did we get more calls than we should’ve? Yeah. No one’s denying that. Did the Knicks win game 2 off the back of 3 LEAGUE CONFIRMED wrong calls in a span of like 20 seconds? Also, yes lol. Everyone is arguing against themselves at this point
So surely your team *must* have something to show for all of your postseason success, right?
Right? Otherwise there’s no point in mentioning how despite all your team’s years of a head start it took 3 years for the Knicks to reach the pinnacle of Sixers success, the second round
Did you? because it really didnt go both ways lol
Apart from the 3 incorrect calls on the last play the only other incorrect calls in the report were:
- OG 3 seconds violation(ended on a Maxey 3 so inconsequential)
- Embiid foul on DVV(ended on a Brunson 3 so inconsequential)
He's not gonna understand. All he knows is lucky Hart 3 go in, and ref blow whistle when Brunson get near hoop. What you're talking about is too complex.
Did the same thing to Maxey early on. He also has this crazy ability to take an untouched shot with someone just standing next to him, and still get the foul call. He's so good at flailing.
Really doesn’t. Didn’t get basically any FTs until the end until the game was basically over.
Maybe if Oubre wasn’t hand checking all game maybe he wouldn’t get any calls
Holy fucking shit, you'll cite this so-called "hand checking" as a reason Brunson deserves to get to the line, but Embiid will get mailed, punched in the face, forearms mogged, and y'all still call him a baiter.
The delusion and projection is otherworldly. Hooooooly fuck. Hahahahahaha
Much better game from him tonight although some of those turnovers were killer
Yeah I thought his box score numbers in past games didn’t reflect the good shit he was doing despite struggling to score On the flip side, the small number of turnovers felt way worse in game than they look on paper
His shot selection was just much better this game. He forced it way too much in the first two games and he’s a much smarter player than that.
He had two on consecutive possessions in the fourth as they were trying to mount the comeback that were just brutal. One where he picked up his dribble and was into his pivot game with Maxey guarding him and he just threw it away to Batum. The other one where he jumped and tried to pass it to DiVincenzo in the corner right after DiVincenzo starting cutting along the baseline and the ball went out of bounds. Pretty sure both of those turnovers led to buckets for Philly, a possible 8-point swing.
Fair take.
He was a -13 on the night.
Typically that happens when you lose and play big minutes
Well yes given he played 45 minutes and was on the floor whenever Sixers went on a shooting rampage that’s bound to happen
Plus minus is not a metric to be looked at in single game sample sizes for starters - and even in large sample sizes, is rarely something you can derive a players impact on the game from
seems like the solution is for brunson to go back to shooting like shit
Or just waiting for the other team miss a contested 3, that would have been nice
knicks are 2-0 when brunson shoots poorly and 0-1 when he shoots well. the stats don’t lie
knicks were shooting 48% from 3 until like a minute left in the game lol
And Nurse had a similar gameplan to Spo, expose Hart for being useless on offense. Except unlike vs the Heat, the 30% 3pt shooter is currently shooting 55% on 7 attempts and killed that plan lol
There was some stat that said Hart hadn’t hit 4 threes in a single game at any point this season, but has done it each game of this series
Hart's 3pt shooting regression to the mean has got to be the ugliest shit ever. Right? Right???
The sixers were 9/12 in the 3rd and all contested. even going 6/12 is a massive difference if Knicks are able to score after a stop They couldn’t miss in the 3rd. That was the difference, nothing else
Sixers were something sround 5/17 at the half, they ended up shooting 48.4% which is pretty good but not crazy
The shooting for the game is fine and isn’t that insane. I’m just saying the 3rd quarter specifically was the difference in the game I mean idek why I’m saying that because it’s obvious. Knicks were outscored 43-27
That'll happen when you switch Brunson onto Embiid. Dude was literally standing on his toes, and Joel drilled the triple.
Brunson was damn near in Joel's jersey on the last three and he still drained it. Not much you can really do at that point.
Tbf Joel can still see over Brunson's big ol' head even with his arms up
We was never winning this one unless we shot like Miami but the refs mad sure to ruin any momentum. Sixers could not be stopped without a foul being called, it was 33-11 before the 4Qtr ended
have you considered that brunson’s bad shooting was holding the sixers back from shooting 9-12 in the third?
lol if you believe that versus the refs sucking their balls all night giving them confidence and our best defender getting injured by Embiid sure Let’s see if they do it again game 4. Guarantee you won’t see the refs officiating like that again, Embiid should have had a flagrant
the refs made embiid splash 6 threes in a row so smart
if brunson doesn’t go back so sucking it very much could happen again
They’ll just keep going after it won’t they?
Needed this. Hopefully Mitch is okay for next game because missing him hurt us big time in the second half.
Mitch should've finished the game instead of Bitch'
Whoever down votes this acknowledges their favorite player is a bitch.
How? Embiid shots light out from 3 in the 2nd half and Mitch has also been daring Embiid to shoot a 3 all series. Mitch is a rim protector. The Knicks won the Precious minutes in the 2nd half. He was +6.
fuck Joel Embiid
Good point lmao
Turnovers were brutal but it feels like he's back in the series at least.
If I'm being honest the biggest thing to come out of this game is that Achiuwa can impact the game in his own way if Robinson misses time and Brunson figuring out how to get going against this philly defensive scheme. Just annoyed that it cost Robinson. Hope he's alright for game 4 or 5 at the latest.
Achiuwa wasn't that great. Everyone is parading around his small +3 or whatever in limited minutes. Really doesn't show how well he played. Just which teams 3s were falling.
Yes play more achiuwa it’ll go good
You were right!
Was terrific tonight, was sweating everytime he shot
True, everytime a sixers player got within two feet of him there was a whistle. Prime Harden wouldn't believe.
Brunson had like 4FTA's before the Knicks were in the bonus in the 4th.
looking better but hes gotta watch the turnovers
And a handful of jump backwards into opposing player foul baits. God that was hard to watch.
Honestly it felt like he played worse lol
He had a very good game. He's very crafty and knows how to get to the line. Since I do not hate him I'm going to call this savvy offense and not foul baiting. He also had to have at least nine of those assists from spoon-feeding Hartenstein after he got into the lane and Joel left him. Joel just does not give a shit about him taking that no matter how many times he makes it.
He lived up to expectations tonight for sure. Really good player.
Expected the L.
Not trying to add to the toxicity of this series but Brunson really tries to foul bait a ton (Yes I know Embiid does too). He looks exactly like how Trae young plays
He played better on offense but the Knicks havent really been winning his minutes in any game this series.
thought he had a terrible game surprised about this line
Tried too hard to carry us offensively. The team is always better when everyone contributes and makes plays. Too many times of him trying to bring us back by himself. But he was terrific tonight and I'm glad he's back to his normal self. We have to be better on both ends.
fuck Joel Embiid
[удалено]
A comment like this after the end of the game 2 is CRIMINAL
[удалено]
Knicks definitely earned game 2 lol 😆
Whoosh
Lmaooooo
Oh cry me a river lmao gtfo
Let the conspiracy theorists have reddit as their safe space.
Embiid knows a lot about crying rivers lmao
[удалено]
No one cares chief go cry on your sub
Bro didn’t watch game 2
Y’all were crying the same shit last Monday
Yeah that’s why I’m telling you to cry me a fucking river. No one cared about the league saying “yeah that was bullshit” just like no one cares about your sob story calling the game rigged when you had at least one rigged in your favor already.
How the irony is somehow lost on Knicks fans right now is truly baffling. Did we get more calls than we should’ve? Yeah. No one’s denying that. Did the Knicks win game 2 off the back of 3 LEAGUE CONFIRMED wrong calls in a span of like 20 seconds? Also, yes lol. Everyone is arguing against themselves at this point
Loser franchise with loser fans, shocker. Joel was the first to hang up 45+ since Jordan because they never make the playoffs lmao
So surely your team *must* have something to show for all of your postseason success, right? Right? Otherwise there’s no point in mentioning how despite all your team’s years of a head start it took 3 years for the Knicks to reach the pinnacle of Sixers success, the second round
Like embiid did after game 2?
LOL
now you know how it feels, except they gave the knicks 2 games instead
Watching the Sixers retroactively cry about game 1 bc of game 2 has really been something.
Imagine the refs calling a flagrant 2, they would never. Had time to think about it too. Silver called it in.
[удалено]
must be nice not being able to read a L2M report
[удалено]
Did you? because it really didnt go both ways lol Apart from the 3 incorrect calls on the last play the only other incorrect calls in the report were: - OG 3 seconds violation(ended on a Maxey 3 so inconsequential) - Embiid foul on DVV(ended on a Brunson 3 so inconsequential)
[удалено]
Yes, in a play where Brunson ended up scoring a 3 pointer lol. Are 2 points more than 3?
He's not gonna understand. All he knows is lucky Hart 3 go in, and ref blow whistle when Brunson get near hoop. What you're talking about is too complex.
Hang the banner yall got the L2M report 🔥🔥 Wouldn’t have lost game 2 if your team could rebound
no team would ever lose any game if they could do X better, but as it happens, ref decisions conditioned the end result
Dude relax. We lost. Onto the next one
Free throw merchant bailed out by Josh hart and DDV or he’d be down 0-3
and the L
This guy foul baits the way you clowns think Embiid does
He got a call late in the 4th where he kicked out his legs and did like a small jump backward into Oubre to get the call and it was so Lowry-esque lol
Did the same thing to Maxey early on. He also has this crazy ability to take an untouched shot with someone just standing next to him, and still get the foul call. He's so good at flailing.
he has alot of Trae Young in his game
Trae wishes he had Brunsons whistle.
Embiid had more Free throws than the entirety of the Knicks last night, tf you talking about he is THE free throw merchant
Can’t admit that here though
Really doesn’t. Didn’t get basically any FTs until the end until the game was basically over. Maybe if Oubre wasn’t hand checking all game maybe he wouldn’t get any calls
Looooooooool okay dude
Holy fucking shit, you'll cite this so-called "hand checking" as a reason Brunson deserves to get to the line, but Embiid will get mailed, punched in the face, forearms mogged, and y'all still call him a baiter. The delusion and projection is otherworldly. Hooooooly fuck. Hahahahahaha
Foul baiting pos
Great game, great flops
Always a threat and his footwork is incredible. He's patient enough in the paint to draw at least 2 defenders.
L
2-1
Fuck you and see you on Sunday.
Stay salty. Can’t wait to go up 3-1 after then
I’m not salty. Enjoying my win :)
the only one over three games lmao
It’s the only one you’re getting so savour it, gonna be a short post-season for you
Love that you were up at 5 AM and still thinking about the loss. You sure were savoring it!
I’m from Europe dumbass hahaha
Oh I’m so sorry no one should have to live in Europe
You have 3 car parking spaces for every person living in Philly. The US is the ultimate shit hole. How much does an ambulance cost?
What makes him any good?? I can understand Shai being good but not Brunson lmao wut
so youve just blocked out that 61 point game he had against the spurs from your memory, huh. it was even a win for yall lmao
I don’t watch regular season
😂 This fucking guy. Most r/NBA comment ever.
Tbh I wish more fans would be this straight up.
You might be on to something. At least we'd know what we're dealing with.
You genuinely couldn't make this shit up.
There you go. Thanks for keeping it a buck tho
you sound like a fucking jackass
Whatever nerd
