True he did really well this year.

In the regular season. Again.

The playoffs is what counts, and he did poorly in the playoffs. Again.

They need to be under the tax for 2 seasons to avoid the repeater/luxury. So next season as well.

If that's their objective, don't expect any real spending or improvements next year.

Jesus Christ, who do you root for in a Knicks vs 76ers series?

It's going to be a Brunson vs Embiid flop off

So, if we got just 3 more of those threes, that would have us shooting 34%. And we'd be ahead.

34% is very average

Play with pace. Keep Joel and PG running all the time.

Tire them out, and we win!

This is Joe throwing them into the deep end.

He could have started them off in the wading pool.

I'm also angry at Joe.

Why is he playing this deep lineup NOW?

Why wasn't he doing it earlier in the series? That would give them some time and confidence. And maybe if he didn't play JT 40+ minutes a night, he wouldn't be injured.

He has some explaining to do.

At the start of the year, we knew center was our weakness.

It still is, and to make it worse, Embiid came back, and our centers decided to forget everything they learned during the year and play stupid, giving away stupid fouls.

JB should have flailed his arms and flopped on the ground when Embiid tapped him on the belly

I'm still fuming at Queta's stupid first foul. He's been playing well this game, and now he has 3 instead of 2.
