2026 NBA Playoffs Round 2: Knicks vs. 76ers Game 3 – Time to Make it Academic

If the Knicks take this one, this whole series is basically just academic.

So, well, let’s see them do that!

Deuce starts in place of OG (who thankfully is taking the game off instead of risking an injury to his hamstring), and Embiid return.

Let’s go, Knicks!

Cole Hamels rang the bell. Last time I saw him the Yankees won game 3 of the World Series in Philadelphia.

FNK! LFG!

Sorta maybe glad Embiid is starting. Should be able to shred him.

Regarding OG: Here’s hoping the medical staff pays as much attention to the illio-psoas muscle as the hurt hamstring(s). I have found that to be the key to quick healing in most types of these injuries.

Well quite possibly the worst 1st minute to a playoff game in Knicks history.

Consecutive playoff games with a three is a super dumb stat.

Josh not taking open 3s might kill me

Crazy sloppy play by Maxey.

The Sixers are single-handedly keeping this close.

How does Embiid not get a tech there?

I think they know they DID screw him on the other end.

I don’t get how physical they’re letting these guys play. They’re all just hitting each other.

The reffing this game just as comical as the last so far.

This is just straight up intimidation of the refs by Embiid. Now he’s getting away with hacking KAT and we’re getting called for bullshit against him

Why are they doing trick dunks? How does this help them win this game?

If Hart and Brunson don’t wake up soon I’ll be switching over to the Yankees game…

We might be better with OG even if we cut out his entire hamstring

Hart not being able to shoot…is like we have 4 on 5 when we have the ball…

Embiid has 4 uncalled fouls thus far, two on one play. He’s going to injuse a Knick for sure

He’s not moving around like he’s nursing a hip and ankle injury either. I told you they were just resting the bitch.

I love that the Sixers don’t close out at ALL. Towns is just getting rebounds like crazy.

The reffing might be even worse than last game

This game is being ref’ed like a NHL playoff game in OT…swallow the whistle..

Well I guess we know which way the league wants this one to go!

If Paul George wasn’t shooting 6000000% from 3 the sixers would’ve lost in the play in nevermind the second round.

I want to sweep this fraudulent ass team so badly.

Only one way. We picked up 5 fouls in the first 6 minutes.

Just survive the inevitable early onslaught of a desperate team.

We’ll be okay.

Playoff P is now shooting 54% from 3 for the playoffs with a league-leading 34 makes. FML.

I STILL don’t know what the foul call was on Drummond.

George thinks he’s Steph Curry. Good luck with that, George!

Landry ❤️

Did Embiid seriously just do the “too small” sign to Mitch? What a clown.

I mean, come on, after all of that shit, they have a four-point lead. This shit is not going to go their way.

Do my eyes deceive me? Did Mikal Bridges just drive *all the way* to the basket from the 3 point line?

Despite it all, Sixers can’t hit their bunnies and can’t rebound.

Keeping it within 4 is HUGE.

Down just four after that mess. I’ll take it. Yes please.

And did Shamet call glass on that corner three? Haha. Or did my eyes deceive?

Really sloppy quarter.

Clarkson has had a lot of bad turnovers recently

I like when the opposing team plays really good basketball and we still end up close after the quarter. Good omen for the rest of the game.

I get it but we played like shit and the refs are tilting the floor so let’s not suck each other’s dicks just yet.

There were even defenders at the rim!!!

This game is nuts lmao. It’s a wwe fight

Sixers might have to cut Embiid this offseason. Who would trade for him? Maybe Sacto.

Embid with the knee to KAT’s face. I hate him so much. And even if he was our guy.

lol cyber

let’s see what they do with this challenge, though.

Nurse wants that 3rd foul on KAT.

Can anyone enlighten as to what the fuck this sequence is supposed to mean?

Clarkson got up there to tap that offensive reb out to Alvarado for his 3pter.

If i was a ref, i’d decide everything against Nurse. What a clown.

wonder if stan van gundy has any clue on just how much it sounds like he hates the knicks…

hard to imagine no announcer scheduler at prime has never noticed that…

so predictable in every word spoken against the Knicks and their players…

Embiid doesn’t even try to make his shots on his drives he just barrels into the defender trying to draw a foul.

And they keep giving it to him!

Plus he fouled the shit out of Mitch on that dunk.

Fuck this guy.

Even at the end of Mitch’s dunk Embiid is grabbing at his legs from the floor. Fine that guy.

Embiids offense is run fall throw ball in air cry if no call then try to injure another player in retaliation

Philly can’t finish a layup to save their life outside of maxey

Brunson grifting>>>

Mikal free throws? Knicks in 4

We are so much better than this team it’s actually funny
