I’m not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that Jalen Brunson gets the craziest whistle I’ve ever seen. This is coming from a Joel Embiid fan. I’ve never seen anything like it. God help us all.

I cannot stress this enough:
Josh Hart is a maniac.

every time Embiid even touches somebody half the crowd is moaning, I thought all the soft New Yorkers fled the city for Connecticut and West Chester when COVID hit https://t.co/OwaWnsgH6e

the knicks are not a bunch of dogs. they are hyenas. they pick fights with bigger scarier animals, paint their faces with blood, and laugh maniacally while doing it.

John Starks going nuts celebrating Josh Hart makes me so happy, man. Knicks legends cut from the same cloth.

An absolutely catastrophic loss for the Sixers. Held up under the physical Knicks onslaught for 47.5 minutes and then let go of the rope for 30 seconds and lost.
