2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

Sixers are done. They won’t recover from that choke job.

What a choke of a finish lol

Maxey screwed up that last possession, too. Waited way too long to get it to Embiid. Should’ve just shot it himself.

I didn't watch much of the 2nd half of the Cavs - Magic game but just looking at that box score with Jarrett Allen. 16pts 20reb. 11 def reb and 9 off reb. They gotta put a big body in there to challenge him.

Play Goga Bitadze!

They could end up being the toughest out of the East. It’ll be a good series if we see them next round.

The Sixers blew it. Got totally out toughed in the last minute of the game.

That's an absolutely gut-wrenching loss for the Sixers. Maxey and Embiid went OFF, they were in control for the first 2.5 quarters and had a lead late, and still blew it.

The Knicks though... they feel capable of a deep run. Not just Brunson, they got other guys who play well and look ready for the moment. Some clutch plays all around in the final two minutes

Philly deserve a great amount of credit for their defense on Jalen Brunson in these two games. Nurse made a great move to put a bigger body on Brunson instead of either of his guards Maxey or Lowry. K Oubre has caused Brunson a lot of problems. Even Batum despite his advanced age has caused Brunson problems.

Brunson with 24pts today but on 8-29 FGA and 7-9 FTA. 33 possessions to get 24pts. Terrible efficiency.

Great coaching. Great defense by Philly players. This is what has allowed them to be so competitive in these first two games. They have taken Brunson out of the series.

Why was Maxey giving the ball to Embiid at 30 feet from the bucket with 1 second left.   Horrible last play.

This Knicks team is scrappy

[libermaniac]

Knicks gifted that game. Lucky bounce on Brunson’s 3 followed by a missed foul on Brunson on the inbounds grabbing Maxey

What a choke of a finish lol

Maxey screwed up that last possession, too. Waited way too long to get it to Embiid. Should’ve just shot it himself.

+1 exactly what I said.   Horrible last play.

[Phantom255x]

Sixers fans on Reddit and Liberty Ballers are melting down, even saying they should just trade Embiid and rebuild lol

[mobilija]

Great finish for the Knicks

Classic Embiid playoff finish for the 76ers

Man, what a back-breaker for the Sixers.  Knicks didn't play well and stole it anyway.  And I'm just not sure how much Embiid has left to give them. 

Maxey had a good game overall but made some massive errors at the end.  Crucially, he laid on the ground after the turnover while the Knicks recovered the ball, launched a three that bricked off, recovered the offensive board, and launched a second three that splashed.  No room for pouting on the floor during live action.  Get your ass up and get in the play.

What a choke job by Philly .

Embiid look shocked when he receives the ball for that last shot.  He was totally thinking maxey is going to shoot .  Embiid shot was flat footed awkward heave …..smh

Not Embiid fault

Somewhere there Philly needed a timeout instead of losing the ball and no set play

[Who]

Great block by LeBron.
