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.


The NBA is so funny.

If Maxey isn’t fouled on his fall to the floor then it’s a travel. Whatever it made for an exciting scrum to finish the game.

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.

May be a strategy for us with JB, as well. Thought, that said, both of our guard options are much better than Philly’s guard options to guard him, but I’d like to see JB spend time on him with his size/length.

Murray is shooting a lot here. Get some others involved. You are freezing them out.

Same script. Lakers start off well. Then the Nuggets settle in and say “watch this” then go ahead and win in the 2nd half

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

He was double teamed.

A road team has to win a game today. I think this is the game that the road team wins tonight.

Soon as Bron gets hurt Nuggets go big run.  That hand injury might just lost series for LA , Bron looked stressed

Beautiful PnR / PnP with AD rolling into a 15 foot jumper at the FT line from D Russell.

Jokic has a double double already. Haha, that is ridiculous. 10pts 10reb in one quarter. 2 steals 1 assist. 3-4 from the field with 2 threes. The guy is a cheat code.

Nice move by Braun.
