3:19 All 3 refs need to be fired for this no call. Shameful.

Embiid absolutely should’ve been ejected for that flagrant. Straight up pulled Mitch down by the ankles and could’ve injured him way worse than an ankle sprain. Also gave OG a totally illegal body check cheap shot near the end of the game that nobody on the broadcast acknowledged. If he wasn’t a villain in New York before, he certainly is now

A lot of commenters talk about “the others.” Well, the others certainly came through for the 76ers today. That was a solid team win for them, almost everyone played their role well, from top to bottom. This series has delivered so far.

Honestly if the Knicks allow the 6ers to tie the series, the 6ers I believe will win. Momentum is a huge factor and the 6ers have a better PG and Embiid clicking.

Embiid is such a dirty player. He purposely kneed Hartenstein in the groin and then he later put a knee lock on Mitchell Robinson on a shot attempt. He could have seriously injured Robinson. Boooo!
