2026 NBA Playoffs East Semifinals: #3 New York Knicks vs #7 Philadelphia 76ers (NYK wins 4-0 🧹)

[O.G.]

No, but pointing out HE’s the only one doing shit in an ELIMINATION game is a damn good TED talk.

He recognized the stakes. Where was everyone else?

So that's a reason he shouldn't be traded?

120 points through 3 quarters is crazy.

Lers see if we can 150

I really wish Dolan would loosen up the damn prices though. We'd have an insurmountable home court advantage. no reason why Philly is louder for a fully 48 for us than the garden is (where the crowd occasionally front runs with the score).

 

[Mister Breeze]

The Knicks shot 40 threes, and hit 25 of them. That’s literally the difference in the game.

If that ain’t a aberration, I don’t know what is.

 

[O.G.]

Congrats to Knicks fans. Yall deserved a better fight.

I have no qualms with the Knicks. But I do live in the boroughs.

…..so, if you fail next round, I won’t be sad at it.

Aberrant your ass to Cancun, family.

Embiid was an all-time talent at his peak, but he’ll never reach that level again. The body doesn’t improve with time. As a Knicks fan who’s had to hear for years about how much of a defensive liability Melo was — and now how much of a liability Brunson is — I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger liability than present-day Joel. When he comes across a team that can exploit his lack of lateral movement, he’s food.

Please do not put Lowry in this bullshit. He deserved better.

 

[unSCENE]

Thibs would've had the starters in still and someone would've inevitably gotten hurt.

And he’s only getting older

 

[AZTG]

I don't even know how to feel.

This was supposed to go 6 with some close games and by game 6 I was supposed to hate the Sixers and celebrate the victory.

Dont get em wrong, a sweep is fire and I'll take the sweep over anything but I never got emotionally involved this series.

All that to say, respect Sixers fans. I expected this thread to get ugly, but it never got that far.

I'll let the other two address this.

 

[5th Letter]

Mans got eyes

He knows he’s overpaid at this point, never going to be fully healthy, and never going to lead the team anywhere

It’s been a decade

He’s no longer an allstar and no longer a top 10 player

That man is killing himself trying to win for that fanbase…

 

[AZTG]

I'm not saying this hating on the Sixers or making fun of the fans or anything.

And I know how a fan base can get attached to a star. So I understand the love for Embiid.

Im not saying they should trade Embiid or not. Not my team, idc.

That said though, even if you love Embiid, it can't be fun watching hit the floor 10 times a game and holding some body part 2-3 times a game. Shit exhausted me just watching. Yall been watching this for 10 years now.

 

[Sky Davis]

that’s his problem and his job lol

Sixer fans are horrible but Embiid has been a casual loser his whole career and never took the team anywhere significant

Let’s have some accountability

Embiid is an overpaid non all star who isn’t a top 3 center, can’t shoot anymore, and can’t defend at a high level

At this point he’s an albatross and the window was closed after the Olympics

#tradembiid

But but they told him to fall to protect his knees and stay healthy!
