Second time beating these frauds in their home too hahahaha i love this team so muuuuuch, lets goooo just continue this road, we can make it this year i’m feeling it!!!
How can any Knicks fan complain about our foul baiting after watching what Towns and Brunson just did tonight? That was pathetic. Even though Brunson and Maxey’s scoring stat lines looked similar, Tyrese had a much more impressive performance
Just give me a competitive second round, I’m ready to get hurt again, what a win.
When Oubre is back, should he come up off the bench or start?
I feel like he shouldn’t start so that Barlow can be alongside Embiid, and Oubre can help the bench with more scoring
Tyrese’s nickname should be the Nice Mike.
Is there any legit way to stream Sixers games in York, PA? When I had cable I got NBC Philly but for some reason YouTube TV has NBC Philly but blacks out Sixers games here even though they still show Flyers and Phillies games. And I see Fubo stopped carrying all NBC stuff altogether. But I feel like I’m missing out on something special with this group, and it’s infuriating because I can’t even just do it through League Pass since it considers me in Sixers territory and blacks out their games as well.
I know you can subscribe to NBC Philly through Peacock but I have no idea if they’ll pull the bullshit blackouts here like they do with YouTube TV despite York being in their coverage area.
Let’s not forget PG in this. Love him on this team and he’s had some big moments recently. Super happy he’s getting his redemption.
And they get Oubre back soon
As a Sixers fan in NYC, I only get to see national games, so haven’t seen a lot of games this year. I watched this whole game and damn this team is fun and playing well. I don’t think I’ve seen a Sixers team pass this well, especially on the interior. ❤️
Team definitely on a roll and can stack up 3-5 more consecutive wins given the next few opponents. LFG
Sometime in the next week or 2 we’re gonna lose a winnable game, and half of this sub is gonna come for Nurses head. Just funny to me.
He’s got the guys playing hard as fuck. And the defense is absolutely rounding into form
I don’t think I’ve seen a rookie with VJ’s feel for the game since Lebron. It just feels like every single time he’s near the play something good happens
Holy shit 🤯

3-0 in both Madison Square and TD Gardens!
McBride always turns to Curry against us. Some things never change – like Maxey dominating in MSG
Some of y’all were acting dumb as hell last week and I won’t forget
Knicks fans actually complaining about Joel and the team going nuts over his dunk. He’s not showboating you fucking mouth breathers, he’s celebrating the miracle of health.
The road trip started off rought, and I mean ROUGH, but a 3 game win streak is a nice way to finish it off, and especially against the Knicks! Awesome to see how efficient Embiid has been recently, Edgecombe has been AWESOME, and Tyrese, need I say more?!
Maxey is fucking ridiculous
Keep stacking wins. Take extra glee in shutting up the insufferables that bleed orange and blue.
Where are we at with McCain? Still getting his sea legs back or…?

me upvoting all the doomer posts in r/NYKnicks
I’m gonna be so obnoxious about this
gentlemen – i was at the game tonight. man, was that a fucking epic win. Knicks fans would cheer every time they would hit a basket down 15 points, and it was so funny. they really looked dominant tonight. and the Knicks crowd was cheering like crazy. they are so balanced. if you havent seen VJ and Maxey live yet, go asap. its THAT incredible. the playoffs are going to be fun. go 76ers
Nice to see the sixers pull a spurs tank last year and just wind up drafting the second coming of Dwyane Wade lol.
One thing I gotta say is it’s actually fucking malpractice that Mike Breen is allowed to be a commentator for Knicks playoff games on ESPN. They legit didn’t stop complaining from tip off till the final buzzer sounded it was actually fucking disgusting
Also the fact Knicks employ two of Embiids children is hilarious. KAT and Robinson have no chance against him
PG was great on D. I’m loving this version of the team
I’m not religious, but every day I spend an hour praying for Joel’s health
The amount of convos I had with Sixers “fans” this offseason and them confidently telling me Joel is completely done because of what a bunch of twitter doctors said so is actually so hilarious. Actual dumbasses, Hope you guys never talk ball again
Notice how we’re 2-0 vs the Knicks after the successful infiltration of Double Agent Yabusele.
Everything we’ve been bad at over the years (athletic rebounding in traffic, clutch decision making, hustle, loose balls), VJ is elite at. It changes us.
Why is everyone tweeting about Jonathan L. Glashow?
So weird to be complete content after a sixers game

WON BOTH GAMES AT MSG THIS SEASON. FTK
I know Maxey, Edgecombe and Embiid showed out in particular but shout out the entire squad man and Nick Nurse for cooking with various lineups, that was a proper team win on both ends of the floor at a tough arena
Knicks fans were so sure we beat them last time because of the NBA cup lol
Not a betting guy and I don’t encourage it, but fyi, a 20$ bet on maxey mvp currently nets you $3,000
Edit:$4,000 actually
I was genuinely of the view that Joel would never be able to both get back to a reasonable physical level, as well as adjust his game to suit his new reality. Sort of like how when we had James Harden, he’d been so used to layups and step back 3s and everything running through him, conventional stuff like ‘catch and shoot’ made him look clueless.
To see Jo just make inside layups off dump offs without trying to draw a foul, to really go for boards, to show a bit of life on defence. This shit is exciting considering where Maxey and VJ are at. And credit to Jo for adjusting his game.
The future is exciting!
