20 FTs for Embiid and at least +10 for Philly.

There a hundred worse travels in every NBA game than that Maxey one. Hell even in slow mo it’s hard to see.

Now Mitch leaving his feet and getting close enough to touch Maxey — NBA post game summary should have added oh and Mitchell Robinson made an epic dumb play on D.

I’m in a dull shock - expecting worse and morbidly hoping for great outcome while searching for anxiety meds.

Jesus - Foster is like grim reaper

How is it a Knicks dumb play when they called Hart out of bounds when he wasn't

How was it a dumb play when they let the clock expire when it should have been 0.4 -- at least a chance for another GW shot.

whatever...

and FWIW I agree that we avoid a couple of blunders and we would have won, and no one is expecting the refs to bail us out. Simply want game called fairly and transparency

I like our team's mental make up. I hope it's enough. Phili is just as banged up as we are and are also playing guys mad minutes.

We need Donte. We need a better crunch time offense than chuck-a-Jalen. Even with all that we are 3-2 and have every reason to believe we can win.

The only downside is that it's harder to find Brunson rest unless you are playing Deuce for 45 mins, which I think we can do. Starting Deuce could give the starters a spark and it could also get Dante going off the bench. I don't think we do it, so hopefully Dante comes through tonight and if not we have a quick hook for Deuce to come in.

Thibs is who he is. He's not going to make drastic changes from a formula that won 50 games unless it's game 7 and he's desperate. I think the best we can hope for is that he does sit Donte earlier than usual if he's stinking up the joint. I have faith in Donte. I still remember that NCAA title game when he stepped up. I don't think Donte isn't clutch, but he's definitely in a funk.

I think Donte is clutch and has balls of steel. He's just in a funk. If we go to ECF there will be plenty of ebbs and flows for all of our guys.

I kind of agree with you on Thibs although he put Deuce on shadow duty when we played GSW out of nowhere. It's been 5 straight games the starters have played like dog****.

I really hope we start to see DD connect He's had a couple good moments but boy we are due for SOMEONE to light it up and we havent had that since McBride in game 1.

To me the path to winning this is some effective small ball. DD gets it going. We get DD/Brunson/McBride line ups cooking and it means either OG or Josh are getting a breather and we need that. Shit, I might even play Precious with a line up like that. Prolly only time you can.

Anyway I hope Thibs has something good cooked up and our boys show out!
