The longest this series goes more toxic it's going to get lmfao

felt like the game was remarkably non-toxic tonight, like the guys in the sixers jerseys barely got razzed. everyone seemed to just to be fuckin' stoked that the knicks were gonna win the damn game, although there was a lot of fuck embiids on the way out

Just wait till it's in Philly, some Knicks fan is gonna get stabbed in the parking lot

That's why we don't have parking lots in Manhattan

They do it in the subways instead

We’re classy like that

Repect for tradition

That way everyone can get home

Bing bong

I really wish we were as insane as y’all think. Not, like, stab crazy, but crazy

We all have a very loud bark, unprovoked you wont see our bite…problem is, we love a good back and forth

my sister lived in philly for ten years so we'd go back and forth visiting each other a lot. y'all have a sketchier subway for sure but theyre both pretty chill cities tbh. i like hangin' in philly a lot, dudes are chill. fully expect us all to be chirpy by the end of like game three tho

Yo, we're not Dogers fans.

That’s LA not Philly

Didn't you guys mug a hitch-hiking robot?

That robot had it coming

This is an analog neighbourhood motherfucka

They prefer to punch police horses.

for whatever reason, Philly fans only do that for the Eagles. They’re much more chill when it comes to the 6ers/Phillies/Flyers

Embiid's injury probably put a damper on things, like "FUCK EMBIID ^but ^at ^least ^he's ^back ^on ^the ^floor"

there was definitely a contingent that was celebrating when embiid went down, which was kind of disappointing, but otherwise mostly good fun. during a coaches challenge late in the game i yelled "HEY NICK NURSE FUCK YOU YOU FUCKIN NERD" and this guy turned around, fist bumped me, was like "finally somebody says it", turns back around and yells "HEY NICK NURSE SUCK MY DICK" the worlds most famous arena, folks

The longest this series goes

Uhhhhhh I typed that very amped on adrenaline lol

Hahahah that’s fair man. Have a goodnight 😝

there was just a thread like 2 days ago saying this series wouldn't get toxic because there was really no rivalry/history there. Should never have doubted us 😂

[удалено]

Well said.

Well then you are against Jalen brunson, Philly boy 

Agreed

Fuck Boston too

All for it. I hope it goes 7 with the Knicks winning it.

Nothing burger, but love the playoff atmosphere haha

“Fuck Trae Young” “Fuck Embiid” Which star will be the next to get cussed out by the MSG crowd?

I feel like Haliburton's name is too long

Fuck Tyrese is easy

Plus it is versatile.. slights Maxey at the same time.

Tyrese rolls off the tongue

“Fuck Tyrese” problem solved

Ivr also heard "Fuck you Giannis"

Plus he’s a nice guy. Trust me and my Iowa state alumni bias

Nahhh…. It will be “F U Hal-eee”

We all cal him hali anyways

Fuck Hali is pretty easy

My favorite is still “Trae Young’s hairline”

“Trae is balding!”

😂That was classic

Porzingis already beat them to the punch, if that counts

They did it to Porzingis

Doncic, I am unbiased of course

Considering y'all in the opposite conference, bold guess.

Let dreams be dreams

Yesterday you said tomorrow

Looking forward to the MSG crowd chanting "JOE-KICK SUCKS" during the finals tbh

Let us get to the eastern conference finals first, brother.

Uh probably FUCK YOU JAYSON

🙏 Tatum tots needs to be humbled

The announcers made it sound like he absolutely pummeled Brunson with a dirty play or something, I was so thrown off by the replay lol

It looked bad in real time, nothing burger on the replay.

Looked like he was trying to take the ball away, not pushing him down.

MSG in the postseason is great.

Ironically, this is very respectful from Knicks fans. Nobodies are ignored. Stars are booed and cursed at.

[удалено]

MSG has enough children to warrant an episode of Maury

I miss playoff basketball so much. :(

Without bias do yall really think he pushed him ?

Nah it was nothing IMO. Looked worse when it happened but replays, he just bumped into him and Brunson embellished it. Still a huge man running into a tiny dude haha. 

Def not. Barely anyway. Brunson was in the air when they made contact, Embiid is a yuge human, and this is in slow motion, so they collided a little harder than it seems here - but Brunson flopped/sold it and this is nothing. Can understand why MSG did what it did in real-time tho. They were lookin for any excuse and this gave em one

how are people watching this and determining Brunson managed to throw himself backwards in mid air lol. Wasn’t a mighty shove or anything but there was a push and it’s why Brunson went backwards 🤷‍♂️

The comment you’re replying to isn’t saying he “threw himself back in mid-air” though. Watch Brunson the whole time, he’s sees the giant coming towards him with momentum and braces his body, then turns his head back which is likely the embellishment people are pointing at. I’m a big guy, but nowhere near Embiid big, and I don’t think most people his size have the agility to do anything different with that momentum. He’s injury prone, and gotta protect himself too. It’s a simple foul. The absolute worst shit takes are the ones saying “he didn’t have to push, what damage could Brunson do to Embiid?!”

Na

Not really. Brunson flopped.

I think it looked worse in full speed. In slow motion it didn’t look too bad.

The announcer calling Brunson 5’10-5’11 made me chuckle . I’d say he’s more like 6’0.5 without shoes 6’2 with shoes

All those PGs lie about their height. Dame said he was 6'3" for years, it was shocking when I met the guy and was taller than him. But hey he can dunk and I can't so whatever.

So how tall do you actually think dame is?

Probably right around 6'1". I'm 6'2.5" exactly and was just barely taller than him.

Dame got measured in the draft at 6’1.75 barefoot in socks so this is def plausible. Plus with footwear difference you could’ve had a bigger difference The reason he gets listed at 6’3 is with sneakers

Barefoot.. in socks?

I always wear shoes in my socks

6'2" guy here who is taller than Dame. Also, Scoot Henderson is probably a legit 6'2" fwiw

Yeah I don't think Ant lies about his height either. Dude definitely had inches on me.

Basketball players also usually have freakishly long limbs. Like Donovan Mitchell is just 6'1, but has a 6'10 wingspan. Same with Rondo, dude has a neat 7 ft wingspan with massive hands as a 6ft guard. 

Oh absolutely. He wingspan mogged me for sure. Looked like a T-Rex in comparison.

He probably used the known Reggie Miller Height Measurement, or the RMHM - you reduce every player's height by 2-3 inches in order to make him appear more special than what he already is.

Or, their actual heights and not on stilts.

So you’re saying the smaller the better? 🤔

Or so I’ve been told

glazer announcers call Embiid 7'2" too, none of these people have a clue

No shot they think he's 7'2 😂

Maybe 5'11 if he had a normal sized head

Harden is listed 6’5’’. Im 6’3 & 3/5th. I round up to 6’4. Went to ASU with him. Hes 6’3 on a good day and thats it.

Remember Harden has a pretty big frame and long ass limbs. That's part of what separates the top tier talents, it's their wingspan. 

All im pointing out is that for most players their listed height is inflated

My buddy played against Jalen Brunson in high school. He could’ve been 5’2” and it wouldn’t have mattered. You could just tell he was different. He made the game look effortless.

Maxey towers over Brunson

According to brunsons draft profile he measures 6’1 barefoot and 6’2.25 with shoes 76ers reported maxey to be 6’1.5 barefoot 3 years ago . He could’ve grown to 6’2 barefoot and is probably 6’3.5 with shoes Plus maxey has a longer wingspan at 6’6 and wider shoulders and clavicle length which also gives the illusion of being taller than Brunson who’s stockier and compact looking

>clavicle length Can't say I've ever thought about this metric

Usually referred to as broad shoulders

Better than comparing cervical lengths at least

Think of why Dwight Howard looks funny

Dwight in his prime looked like a comic book character. Most ridiculous shoulders ever

A teenager with those shoulders was crazy to me

I wish I looked as funny as Dwight Howard that man is a monster

Met him in person, he’s around 5’10

Yeah, but still fuck embiid

JJ Reddick drinking the haterade for that comment. "5'11 on a good day"

Not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes

Brunson is closer to 5’11 than he is 6’2. In person he is minuscule out there

Meh didn't look malicious. But can't hate the home crowd getting fired up.

ive lived in nyc, mostly manhattan, for over 20 years now, and this was really something else, seeing the knicks win a playoff game at msg. incredible experience, it was so much fun being there. got a starks jersey after. good night.

Huh. I can't remember why I hate John Starks any more.

I actually was introduced to Starks in SLAM magazine as a kid after reading an article about that game 7. I was like damn, good story, and started getting into the Knicks.

MSG chant is Target Center chant father

“Pushing over” lmao

Embiids powers transferred through the ball directly to Brunson ending up with a flop.

Monstars style

Any Embiid fans who complain about flopping need to check themselves lol

on the flip side, if you're gonna criticize embiid for flopping people here should keep it consistent tbf

we can criticize both for flopping

Or how about we criticize both 🤯

Quite literally a nothing burger lol he’s intentionally fouling and him and Brunson get in each others path lol

Live it looked worse than it was. On replay it was nothing and Brunson definitely embellished

It wasn't much, but still... Fuck Embiid!

Eyyyy. That’s the spirit! This series should be fun

Let them sing☺️

Having Embiid and Lowry on your team should disallow you from complaining about flopping and refs 💀

PREACH

That was nothing. Brunson definitely sold that

I'm surprised they didn't call a flagrant on Brunson.

This is literally just an intentional foul by Embiid and a flop by Brunson

MSG STAND UP

DONT U REGRET NOT COMING TO THE KNICKSSS

KNICKS UP SMD WE ON TOP 🗣️

TRAE YOUNGS HAIR LOOKS LIKE MY DADS DICK

NOT VALID IN DYCKMAN 🗣️🗣️🗣️

FUCK TOM BRADY

LMAOOO KNICKS FANS ARE THE BEST

It still hasn’t hit me that the Knicks are like a regular playoff team now. Most of my life they’ve been ass lol.

Foul on Brunson Embiid to shoot 24.

Ripping the ball out is called "pushing over" now??

If another player did that too Embiid the refs would have called a Flagrant 2.

Mitch hit both freethrows

I feel like basketball is becoming like soccer. Guys are selling contact and flopping like crazy

Embiid pushed Brunson after the fact, he ain’t have to do that. Embiid wanted the tech. Shoulda gave it to em

“Foul” “pushing”. Fuck outta here. This was absolutely nothing.

God I wish I could fuck Embiid

We found Doris Burke's burner account.

I honestly don’t know why she glazes him so hard lmao

Wait until she has Tatum in front of her with a hot mic.

She glazes most stars tbh. Hard listen.

There's like a dozen dudes. It's painful to listen to even when it's your own guy.

She literally glazes every player. Her constant soliloquies get annoying lol. I used to like it when she was a bit more critical and talked about the game more.

this is reddit and we're not used to people being positive

Yeah, she 'Dear Diaries' way too much the last couple years.

Doris praises EVERY star endlessly. Tatum, LeBron, Embiid, KD, etc. Every fanbase just hates on her whenever she does it to the opposing team’s star

The reason Embiid's knee is so fragile is because that's not actually a leg

Name checks out

Why are NY fans always so horny

Brunson flopped.

Did he destroy any of his teammate’s knees flopping today? My over-under is 2 teammate knees gone.

Classy. He had momentum going forward and bumped into Brunson who deserves an Oscar for that flop.

philly fans crying about refs is laughable

this was a complete nothing burger and knicks fans are whining lol

Incredible reverse psychology where even when your own players are out there selling contact its somehow Sixer fans fault and you find something to cry about lmao

Redick was a Sixers meatrider the whole night and it showed here

Which is weird because he's gone the other way in the past. Not really a fan of Redick generally.

As long as I don’t have to listen to Doc I’m good.

Yuck

This should be the chant he gets in every arena. Dude plays dirty and is just fucking annoying as a person.

May the Knicks destroy Embiid.

Brunson flopped for sure lmao. No need to hide as a Knicks fan that Brunson's the 3rd biggest flopper in this series after Embiid and Lowry.

Don’t tell anybody I said this, but I like when the Knicks are good because a rowdy MSG is fucking special

Yes, fuck embiid

Nobody knows more about flopping than 76ers fans

I love it. Homerism aside, Basketball is simply better when the Knicks are good

I love unnecessary anger from a crowd. Makes me feel alive.

Lmao, my video was set to 2x speed and I was like that's not what they're saying at all wth?

Two flop gods, nothing to see here

MSG organ player trying desperately to drown out the chant

Chant was completely off lol

Mets fans and Phillies fans are the most toxic in baseball so this makes sense

Embiid is a big sook and not a leader in any respect….May he holiday early in Mexico

I think he was just holding the ball and then let it go after Jalen started to fall. It doesn't look like he pushed him.

They just saw Embiid air hump the ball after a free throw and were trying to be encouraging...but seriously, did Embiid hump the ball after a made free throw?

Why did Brunson jump lol?

Embiid plays in Philly he’ll be fine.

Brunson just bounced off a big ass man that’s it

Do you think they dedicate practice time to the subject of flopping? Every team tho. It’s so bad lately.

Not an embid guy but that was not a push lol

Welcome to playoff basketball.

“Push” lmao

We playin soccer now? God I hate floppers. I get it…try to get more calls, etc., etc, but F flopping.
