Nick clearly doesnt watch the Sixers..... Embiid does that ALL THE TIME..... even when healthy.... if he thinks his free throw is slightly off thats what he does to will (to cause something to happen or someone to do something from the sheer power of one's thoughts) it into the basket.

@@kenan-b Brunson is more impactful and efficient than Embiid, ESPECIALLY in the playoffs. Brunson will clearly be the best player in this series. Randle does regress in the playoffs but he’s not the leader and best player on the team. And it doesn’t necessarily mean the team would be better without him. He’d take some attention off of Brunson and he’s a decent playmaker so the defense would have to remain a bit more honest.

Embiid is about 7'2" and 280 lbs. Hartenstein and Mitch Robinson are 7 feet and each 240 lbs. So Embiid outweighs each of the Knicks center by 40 pounds. He should be able to back them down and get his 20 to 25 points a game. But the problem is, Embiid's knees buckled twice against that Heat game. One sharp turn and he's out completely. I give Philly 2 games. Knicks 4-2.

Hey First Things First crew it's wild you didn't mention the Pacers
The human foot is tough, but not meant for the pounding of a heavy 7 foot body running and jumping over multiple 82 game seasons. Many don't last long. Dudes like Shaq, Tim Duncan, Kareem and others who have long careers with relatively few injuries are amazing.
They said this about the Knicks last year when they played the Cavs, we beating Philly in 6
Joel already had a meniscus tear during the first Knicks matchup. Pat Bev discussed it on his podcast. He was injured for a while before he had surgery.
This playoffs is starting to feel like 2021 where so many star player's got injured.
The fact it took the sixers one halftime break to figure out a zone spo drew up specifically for Embiid gives me confidence that the sixers could have a good chance to move on
We are not 1-1 when Embiid plays. The one game we lost to the 76ers Maxey, Embiid, Randle & OG didn’t play and the score was 79-73.
Joe Mazulla isn’t going anywhere.
As a C’s fan I’m terrified of mazzula in the playoffs. He doesn’t adjust I just don’t wanna play against a good coach. I care SO much more ab coaching then who we play against. There’s like 4 coaches spoelstra the top who coach circles around joe. They run that trap and joe just says shoot more 3’s
7:31 is all I came to hear 😂
Embid put up 30 points on 45% against the knicks this season, also had 6 TOs. That was without Mitchell Robinson. Isaiah put up 17/6/5 on 8-9 shooting
Other teams struggling for seeding: " is doing an amazing job!" Boston on top of their conference: "Let's talk about firing their head coach."
Butler and embiid are legendary I guess lol
"I hear nothing" 😂😂😂
Brou debating the Knicks 6ers series while Wildes was just chilling is just so funny to me 😂
Wasn't that kawhi shot in the conference finals
lets watch the first round of knicks vs philly
This the best sports show on TV right now hands down! Whose better
jaime butler must have a hair appointment
Embiid is gonna fall into the Derrick Rose conversation
Nick and Bomani, best in the game.
Knicks in 5, you guys are sleeping on how good they are and people are way too focused on Embiid.
"It's not his ability It's his availability" is the truest thing said about Embiid. Come on Embiid, we need!
I worry about Embid because he missed easy buckets in the paint and he has to avoid injury to make it in the Olympics after the issue with his decision to play with USA. Knicks with Brunson, Hart and Divincenzo is tough to battle in this first round.
Grant Hill didn’t have the SEVERE drop in playoff performance Embiid had. And post ankles he was nowhere near the same player. Embiid keeps returning to form and dominating the regular season only to struggle come postseason. I hope that changes this year.
Gee Nick, I don't remember Embiid getting out of the second round ever.
This whole playoffs seems like it’s gonna be weird
Get well Jimmy

I agree with Nick's take on Jalen Brunson. I got Jalen as the best Point Guard in the EAST so why not replace certain players that were on the top tier mountain who haven't played as much and did what he has without another All Star or SuperStar?
Love the jokes at the expense of clownass Ja. More please.
So Brunson can easily match Embiids point output. If Maxey gets 20, Nick believes not a single player can match that on the Knicks. Is this guy ever right? Does he watch sports?
It’s a wide open eastern conference since Butler is gonna be out of the playoff.
I would love to be on this show just for one day lol
“I hear nothing” - brou
This year embiid really is the most valuable player. Theyre so much better with him its crazy. Obviously im not in the business of giving mvps to players who play so little but the data from him playing half.the season shows dude was insanely valuable for Philadelphia
It is not Tobais..it is Tobiass
Nick should show brou sports car😂
Hilarious show! 😁
Embiid has never been healthy or physically fit (because of injuries) for the playoffs. Embiid will go on Playoff Futility Mount Rushmore for MVPs. He has never played in a Conference Finals
Jimmy Butler has been selling us wolf tickets on toughness and availability. I believe he has played 14 regular seasons but has only played 814 games. Dude has missed over 4 seasons of basketball in his career with injuries or other reasons.

“GOT BLASTED “ brou “38”
This is another year that isn't Embiid's year. Tbh, I think he'll eventually win one like Dirk did. Maxey is his Jason Terry, and he'll convince Butler to come back along with someone like Dame, after their current max contracts are done, to have one final title hunt as starters, much like J Kidd and Marion were on their last legs in 2011.
The fact they think embiid is hurt is hilarious embiid is not hurt he scored 23, 15,and 5 against the best defense center in the east while being doubled every time in a zone set up to take him out the game is funny
Slandering the Cs like they already lost is gross
Joel should sit it down before he end his career
