I feel like I would have titled it “ Joel Embiid has to be dominant for 76ers to win ! “ because the way they worded it had me confused for a split second lol it still sounds weird reading it
Austin Rivers is falling into category of media member who obviously does not watch the games...

Think about it. He's asked to give expert analysis on multiple games/series. It would be impossible to watch every game in the regular season...so they get used to providing analysis without watching games. None of them watch all the games. Not even the playoff games, I bet.

@@Michael_Page sounds like the decision makers need to change their approach...we live in a world where more people are informed and bs is easily spotted...they need to figure something out...I say contract content creators to give specific team advice or make sure your analyst are actually watching the games they analyze...not that hard...

I picked the Knicks to win in 6 games. The Knicks really choked away game 5. The Knicks will have something in their mind for game 6 that they’re going all out to win game 6
Not that suprising that NY fans are at the Wells Fargo. Tickets at the garden are so much more expensive, so it's close enough and cheaper for them to go to Philly.
Perk you are wrong ...........Tyrese Maxey has been the best player in this series

Eww not even close by far the worst most garbage series of the playoffs neither of these teams are contenders. Losing in the g league east. The chip is insert 1 of 3 west teams okc denver or timberwolves
I want to know if Stephen A called the league about embiids fouls 😂
Udonis is a great analyst and I hope they have him on more.
He was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey not Chicago.
UD got the smile and the vibe. Lose the tie, keep it smart casual. Take a page out of Richard Jefferson’s style guide and keep your swag
Keep UD on here for real
Maxey is the future of the franchise. Embiid is the glass bones and paper skin man. I legit hope if he cant stay healthy he gets booted. There is no point in giving big money to someone who aint got the body for the game
I really wish Buddy Hield would heat up. It'd be nice to see Ricky Council get busy too.
ESPN put UD ON color commentary please
Ok OG I see you!! 305!
James Brunson will score more than 50 points Today 🔥🔥🔥
Big Body Brunson sending Philly home tonight
We have 2 guys averaging 30 and we are acrually out scoring the knick in this total series
Knicks tougher mentally. The loss did hurt but they have been battling adversity all season long with injuries and all teams playing difficult against the Knicks in the garden etc. We have to play the 76ers the way we did game 4 OG on Embid and putting Duece on and DV on maxey. I like Robinson but he doesn’t have the speed to keep up embid and maxey…. Cmon Knicks!!!’
I swear Perkins just yesterday said right next to Austin rivers that he originally picked the knicks in 6 but said he Agreed that he thought it was going to go to seven and now today on this video he’s keeping his original pic …. Well, then don’t say you think it’s going 7 that’s a cop out lol
It’s up to Maxey. I’ll take Maxey’s 42 in a deficit over Embiids free throw baiting 48 any day of the week. Maxey has proven he can get it done when he’s on the losing team, Embiid’s elimination game stats are pathetic.

My God, the Embiid hate is starting to be sad. The guy is playing on one leg and with impaired vision. Here's a dose of reality, if Embiid decided not to play the rest of the season, the Sixers would've been in the play-in and at best swept in the first round by Boston with just Maxey... They need each other...

Points are points. When Joel is on the floor they scored +46 more than the Knicks. When he’s off theyre -43 his gravity opens up the floor for maxey and others.

@@brandoni241 it’s not Embiid hate baby boy. Embiid has had a MVP dominant run but it doesn’t translate to the playoffs. It’s very simple, cry about it all you want but the guy realistically has 2-3 years of high level play left. It’s time to run through Maxey and lessen embiid’s role.

@@SPACEKNOCKERZ76 That’s great. Has nothing to do with who the ball should run through. Embiid has 2-3 years left of this kind of play, you gotta shift the focus. I didn’t say trade Embiid or play him less. Sixers fans can’t read, enjoy watching other teams get past the first round again while harping on cherry picked Embiid stats! 😂
"All I've been hearing is praise for Embiid" what has bro been looking at. I don't think there's a more hated player in the league rn man
I hope NY will smoke these six
og on espn now
It better not go to 7 if it does i got sixers in 7 But 80% chance the knicks win tonight

Later 9pm start just for Embiid, get that extra rest and medical IV's in.
Why Perk always laughs before he speaks
No Perkins - it means most real fans can't afford the darned tickets
JB is right baby!!!!
Most Valuable Free Throw makes the game unwatchable
Brunson best player in the series when he was a non factor in the first 2 games??
As usual 76ers players will be sitting on a beach in Florida while another team advances to the NBA final
I think Joel injuries are keeping him contained... Joel would avg 40 if he wasn't hurt... bro avg 30 and his like 60% Heartianstan and Robinson should really be embarrassed
no 😢
They bought 2,000 tickets for there home game. Thats sad. It would be funny tho if u still hear the knicks fans

Drug use and gambling
It’s not the truth
Embiid just has to stay on the court and not turn the ball over 9 times. They have the better team and the 76er owners have rigged it so the NYC invasion won't be nearly as massive. Sixers win in a blowout.
