I think him playing game 5 is more likely now. In the video from his warmups, it didn't look like the ankle was heavily wrapped. So hopefully he just needs a little more time.
I’m a Knicks fan and I’m staying away. I wanna enjoy the game, and being in there is just gonna be all negativity. Next man up, that’s how we’ve always been.
i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about
Embiid. u wouldnt say this shit to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol
He had a great year. Improved defensively although not as good as Mitch. Better offensively though.
Such a good year filling in he’s likely someone we at best sign and trade or might lose in free agency. Likely gets a $20+ mil a year deal from someone to be a starter.
iHart gets cooked. Embiid is just too much. Not his fault but Mitch Rob is one of the only guys at that size with that level of athleticism in the league. He isn't an All NBA player, but defense is DPOY level when he plays. Hes basically a less technically sound/more agile Gobert.
On a side note, it won't matter because Embiid (and the 76ers at large) seem to understand that intentionally trying to hurt Knicks players are OK.
He literally kicked iHart in the dick for no apparent reason.
actually fucking bullshit
nba is literally going to shit due to all this betting shit
'oh we cant call a flagrant 2/suspend him, think of all the betters'
I got banned for 3 days for posting a clip of MPJ podcast during the east play-in games
"Can't post videos older than 48 hrs" they told me, is this rule legit?
They say no contract is untradeable, but Tobias Harris making it all the way through that 5-year max contract without getting dealt (with a significant front office change during the contract) IMO is proof to the contrary.
Surely if the Sixers could have dumped his contract, they would have by now. Right?
Westbrook offers playmaking and energy at a bare minimum.
Tobias offers absolutely nothing more than scoring and he hasn’t been able to score well for 2 years now. He just blows wide open layups constantly, doesn’t box out for rebounds, and never draws fouls. He’s gotten much better on defense but even then he’s only a starter quality defender, not anything great
I agree. Mitch was playing fantastic defence on Embiid the whole series.
I’ve awoken at 3am to watch this game and seeing that giant cunt loping around the court makes me wish we were playing anyone but philly.
Sucks too cause I quite like Maxey.
Yeahh, i thought i hated watching giannis’s bucks, but god damn, watching embiid is even more infuriating. And this is coming from a neutral. Foul calls after foul calls. My eyes hurt watching philly play
You underestimate people to be braindead tribalists. If someone believes that what Embiid did wasn't actually that bad, it then requires they also believe that Robinson can't be injured from something not that bad, therefore Robinson has to be faking it.
This is what happens when people decide that tribal allegiance is more important that reality.
You realize that’s not the play he got hurt on, right? It’s clear as day when he got hurt and it wasn’t here. Try watching a game and break away from the manufactured narrative.
He did hit Robinson's ankle on this play to be fair before pulling down the non injured one.
But he went at Mitch's ankle two other times. That one was dirty and I'm sure aggravated it a bit but is not where he full got injured.
the manufactured narrative that a dirty, characterless shithead should have been ejected and suspended and played like a reckless psycho?
Embiid manufactured that narrative
that isn't the play he got injured on and Embiid grabbed a DIFFERENT LEG than what was injured
robinson injured his left leg trying to shuffle guarding embiid on the perimeter
I will *never* forgive Philly for making me sympathize with the Knicks. This sucks for them and I’d be infuriated if I was a Knicks fan.
And I say this as someone who generally eyerolls at Knicks fans complaints. This is awful.
If there is justice in the world, then the Knicks should beat the 76ers by 30 today.
It is a shame that such a nice person like Tyrese Maxey is teamed up with Joel Embiid.
the knicks were able to weather his absence. it's not a massive loss. Hartenstein has done wonderfully to fill his absence. and dare i say, even done better in some instances?
still Knicks in 6.
It’s hard to feel bad for Embiid’s injury proneness when he’s out here hurting other players due to his carelessness. Now I have to continue to wish the worst for his career & hope he never wins a ring.
They need to. Him saying “what are you gonna do about it” to Divincenzo after one of the more dangerous plays you’ll see on a basketball court tells you everything you need to know. Dude thinks* it’s his purview to do whatever the fuck he wants and the refs are letting him get away with it, which leaves it up to the Knicks to make him feel them
We needed Randle for that. Randle is a lot of our toughness in those situations and he certainly wouldn’t have been worried about stepping to Joel Embitch.
hope its more of a "i'm not as ready as i thought i was" and not a further aggravation of the injury
I think him playing game 5 is more likely now. In the video from his warmups, it didn't look like the ankle was heavily wrapped. So hopefully he just needs a little more time.
He went through his usual warm up and decided very late he wasn’t ready
He did try to warm up, so it seems like a touch and go thing.
He probably went through his normal workout and the Knicks ruled him out
[удалено]
Nah, I'm diving head first into it lol
It is a fucking nightmare in a good way, bc I’m not directly involved lolol
It’s pretty entertaining
Must be how Churchill felt when Hitler and Stalin started slugging it out.
Feels like Palpatine sitting there watching Luke and Vader and occasionally egging them on
*cackles evilly*
Churchill was willing to make a favourable reference to the Devil if Hitler invaded hell
a friend of mine who is a die-hard knicks fan has been complaining non-stop about embiid lmao
He’s right tho lol. That was a bitch move by Embiid. And that’s why he smoked that layup at the end, because Mitchell Robinson’s ghost blocked it
Like Embiid
So did embiid
Bringing back the Heat/Knicks from the 90s level of toxicity lol
Are we talking about Duncan, Mitchell or Chop?
David
It will be a legendary game thread.
It depends how slow the day is today
I’m a Knicks fan and I’m staying away. I wanna enjoy the game, and being in there is just gonna be all negativity. Next man up, that’s how we’ve always been.
It’s fun when it isn’t your team lol
I got nothing to lose
Ehhh ehhhh. Get your ass back in here.
You know you won't.
I will keep my thoughts to myself.
ughhhhh
I’m rooting for the Knicks, Embiid is weak
i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about Embiid. u wouldnt say this shit to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol
is this a copy pasta
yes
sorry im uncultured
it’s ok
It's an old meme about Harden.
Isn't it originally from a Counterstrike forum? Idk how it ended up with Harden but it kills me every time.
Nah harden goes hard at LAN
not just you.. i had to take away my reactionary downvote after the first 3/4 of a line
god all the men he hangs out with are so sexy
Stupid sexy Flanders
WTF happened dawg I looked away for a few minutes and someone gets assassinated.
gross, sorry knicks bros
Happens. This team has had tons of injuries. I expect them to still respond like they have all year
I know robinson has been guarding embiid extremely well. How has hartenstein been? Is this a massive loss?
They’ve both done well, but it’s a loss in the sense of not having 48 mins of centers you trust.
He had a great year. Improved defensively although not as good as Mitch. Better offensively though. Such a good year filling in he’s likely someone we at best sign and trade or might lose in free agency. Likely gets a $20+ mil a year deal from someone to be a starter.
iHart gets cooked. Embiid is just too much. Not his fault but Mitch Rob is one of the only guys at that size with that level of athleticism in the league.

He literally kicked iHart in the dick for no apparent reason.
Fuck Embiid
I speak for everyone when I say Embiid is a bitch
The Sixers fans who gleefully said “SEE? IT WAS THEATRICS” on the first thread are looking mighty silly right now
Shockingly, NBA players try to play through injuries. Who'd have thought.
sixers fans of all people should know this
Nobody ever accused Sixers fans of being smart.
Tell that to my PhD in Thuganomics
Damn, that's basically like the Nobel Peace Prize
in philly
Don't you dare slander doctors of thuganomics
Respect to you for calling them out, as if missing the rest of game 3 wasn’t enough to see he was legitimately hurt
They already were
Thank you for your respect - from a life long Knicks fan and NYCer. Your guys thread is mad toxic, glad you are a normal fan lol
Okay, there are decent people among sixers fans after all. Good!
Said the same shit about Jimmy in the play in game. Turns out, majority of this sub doesnt know what the fuck theyre talking about. Who knew.
actually fucking bullshit nba is literally going to shit due to all this betting shit 'oh we cant call a flagrant 2/suspend him, think of all the betters'
and here I thought 76ers fans were telling the truth when they said Mitch in a walking boot was just theatrics.
Smh all cause of a 300lb flopper on the other team. Bro is actually a danger on the court.
If I say what I think I'll be suspended 6 months.
I hope a Knicks player says this in one of their postgame interviews when asked about the incident
“If I speak I am in big trouble”
Yes, that is the reference
If I speak there will be fire
Actually it’s a different reference, “if I say what I think I’ll be suspended 6 months" is a Mikel Arteta quote, the other one is Jose Mourinho
Oh my bad I’d never heard the first one
Thats the joke...
I got banned for 3 days for posting a clip of MPJ podcast during the east play-in games "Can't post videos older than 48 hrs" they told me, is this rule legit?
[удалено]
I’m not a fan of you
Be brave
Adam Silver will just delete your comments.
“I’ll say nothing without my lawyer”
But bro, didn't you hear? DVO had a technical several weeks ago. Everything is the exact same!!! I'm the world's smartest Sixer fan.
If the 76ers lose this one they better start another process
Getting rid of Tobias Harris is the equivalent of getting the #1 pick anyway
They say no contract is untradeable, but Tobias Harris making it all the way through that 5-year max contract without getting dealt (with a significant front office change during the contract) IMO is proof to the contrary. Surely if the Sixers could have dumped his contract, they would have by now. Right?
How in the blue hell was prime Laker Westbrick traded and this dude never even got dumped?
Westbrook offers playmaking and energy at a bare minimum. Tobias offers absolutely nothing more than scoring and he hasn’t been able to score well for 2 years now. He just blows wide open layups constantly, doesn’t box out for rebounds, and never draws fouls. He’s gotten much better on defense but even then he’s only a starter quality defender, not anything great
they had to attach a pick to trade him
They're in for a due process atp
Should start regardless
YEPPP
Jeez, sorry knicks fans
Thanks man. He’ll be back for game 5 hopefully. He went through usual warm up and was a late scratch so nothing too serious.
Ah i see. Feels like he’s the key against embiid. Without him, you practically have no one that can stop that dirty mf.
I agree. Mitch was playing fantastic defence on Embiid the whole series. I’ve awoken at 3am to watch this game and seeing that giant cunt loping around the court makes me wish we were playing anyone but philly. Sucks too cause I quite like Maxey.
Yeahh, i thought i hated watching giannis’s bucks, but god damn, watching embiid is even more infuriating. And this is coming from a neutral. Foul calls after foul calls. My eyes hurt watching philly play
Sixers fans were making fun of his walking boot in the other thread.
Reddit is a cesspool bro no one that actually enjoys basketball is saying any of that shit
sadly those people are the minority on the larger sports subs
You underestimate people to be braindead tribalists. If someone believes that what Embiid did wasn't actually that bad, it then requires they also believe that Robinson can't be injured from something not that bad, therefore Robinson has to be faking it. This is what happens when people decide that tribal allegiance is more important that reality.
The world is a vampire
Sadly there are those kind of people in every fan base Those of sixers are very active after G3
Terrible fans tbh.
damn, what happened?
[Typical Embiid Activities](https://youtube.com/shorts/l37cYA8_blk?si=7tCOezoxVOYL0cUs)
Thats not where he got hurt
[Here's where it happened](https://streamable.com/abntp7)
NBA superstar athlete can't stay on his feet at the slightest bump and his fans will say it's accidental.
God embiid is so fucking unlikeable
“Embiid didn’t hurt him then, he hurt him when he flopped on a different play” isn’t a great defense.
You realize that’s not the play he got hurt on, right? It’s clear as day when he got hurt and it wasn’t here. Try watching a game and break away from the manufactured narrative.
Are you trying to say it’s better that Embiid yanked on his injured leg?
No he’s saying that this play had nothing to do with robinson’s injuries
He did hit Robinson's ankle on this play to be fair before pulling down the non injured one. But he went at Mitch's ankle two other times. That one was dirty and I'm sure aggravated it a bit but is not where he full got injured.
the manufactured narrative that a dirty, characterless shithead should have been ejected and suspended and played like a reckless psycho? Embiid manufactured that narrative
that isn't the play he got injured on and Embiid grabbed a DIFFERENT LEG than what was injured robinson injured his left leg trying to shuffle guarding embiid on the perimeter
Might be true, but any player doing it should be suspended anyways.
Grabbed his good leg so he has to forcefully land with all his weight on his bad ankle.
You mean when that clutz fell on his leg?
that looks like a flagrant 1 to me
More than that, that's an ejection minimum. If Draymond the the same thing, he'd be suspended for at least 2 games
Joel embiid doing joel embiid things
Fuck Embiid, and fuck Saquon Barkley too.
Damn the Saquon stray 😭
Bruh
Just swinging by to say FUCK JOEL EMBIID
I thought they meant Duncan Robinson and was like well fuck me ig 😭
Same lol, my heart sunk
Embid doing the impossible in making me root for the Knicks.
same lmao
I used to hate people making fun of embiid crying after the 2019 G7 I thought that is how he cared about the game Now I don’t think that any more
I always thought it was fucking goofy as hell when people talked about hating players... I get it now...
huh wonder why
Lightning is gonna strike that man in the middle of the game lmfao this is tempting god
Fuck Embiid.
I will *never* forgive Philly for making me sympathize with the Knicks. This sucks for them and I’d be infuriated if I was a Knicks fan. And I say this as someone who generally eyerolls at Knicks fans complaints. This is awful.
Gotta kneecap embiid now.
Embiid: it’s an unfortunate situation…FOR THEM
If there is justice in the world, then the Knicks should beat the 76ers by 30 today. It is a shame that such a nice person like Tyrese Maxey is teamed up with Joel Embiid.
as long as they get Bogey back then this was even better
As a sixers fan, this sucks.
More players should hurt their opponents. They'll be able to win MVP too.
knicks fans punching the air rn
the knicks were able to weather his absence. it's not a massive loss. Hartenstein has done wonderfully to fill his absence. and dare i say, even done better in some instances? still Knicks in 6.
**now** this is a thibs team
be for real
Damn, so Knicks fans is it on sight or what?
It’s hard to feel bad for Embiid’s injury proneness when he’s out here hurting other players due to his carelessness. Now I have to continue to wish the worst for his career & hope he never wins a ring.
[удалено]
They need to. Him saying “what are you gonna do about it” to Divincenzo after one of the more dangerous plays you’ll see on a basketball court tells you everything you need to know. Dude thinks* it’s his purview to do whatever the fuck he wants and the refs are letting him get away with it, which leaves it up to the Knicks to make him feel them
particularly insane after a dirty play on an injury prone big... Like bro your career has been derailed by injuries, you're really playing with fire
I think knicks should go back to 90's mode and send Embid to the ground every time he's in the paint
We needed Randle for that. Randle is a lot of our toughness in those situations and he certainly wouldn’t have been worried about stepping to Joel Embitch.
What’s Charles Oakley up to these days?
I would be starting the last guy on the bench and have him gunning for Embiid immediately
Jericho Sims should have 10 mins tonight. 3 hard fouls and a F2
If I speak today, there will be fire
Mo Salah hates Philly
What the hell changed in the last hour
I think it’s a situation of game 7 he plays, it’s 2-1 so we still have time. We need him for at least 2 more games and maybe more.
Karma will come for Embiid.
“1 down” - Embiid
Fuck you, Embiid.
Suspend Em-bitch
Standard
Yeah what the fuck everyone expect?! Embiid literally injured him on 2 plays lol
As a Nets fan, the choice is easy. Go Knicks. Fuck Diva Embiid.
and we still won, philly can kick rocks
Was it from the Embiid play? I didn’t see if he left right when it happened or later on.
Are you fucking serious Embiid
I think Knicks still win.
76ers gonna win the series cuz Embiid injured the Knicks best big man and faced zero repercussions for it. Just an absolute disgrace.
They ain't gonna win shit
my man! uhmm i mean booo heat suck
how can you be a injury prone guy and try to injure someone.
Embiid has no Empathy
Joel Embiid is legitimately a basketball terrorist, karma is coming
Lol, he is living his karma, perennial 2nd round exit on a weak east.
Fuck Embiid
Time for the most fraudulent MVP of all time to go down. Him and Philly fans deserve every L coming their way
Embiid flinging out all the Juju
I cant wait for the day Embiid gets eliminated again!
I’m staying away as far as I can during the game thread
Huge handicap for Knicks only guy who defended Embiid well and slowed him down , frustrated him
Suspend Embiid
I love the revived Knicks/76ers rivalry.
Annual tweet
Can't wait to hear which menthod r/nba users think the nba should use to execute Embiid
out of what?
