The foul calls have been horrifically slanted toward the Knicks. They get ticky tack calls meanwhile the Sixers are getting hammered with no calls. The Kelly Oubre hit not being a flagrant is ridiculous, he literally bounced off the floor, he was hit so hard. Also, any slight hit to the head or face, the Knicks players are acting like they got punched by Mike Tyson.

Remember the NBA is HQ in New York, so you cannot convince me that they do not want a Celtics (ESPN) and Knicks (NBA HQ) conference finals.. They are doing whatever they can with the refs to ensure a Knicks Celtics conference final and if the game is close at the end the refs will favor the Knicks every time.. For the sixers to win they better have a big lead at the end..

Bench players need to step up! Embiid Maxey need 25plus and role players need 15pt like Harris Oubre Hield or Cam

I agree, Nick Nurse needs to go deeper into his bench to give the sixers a jolt, Ricky Council and Buddy Hield.

What's your personal best for consecutive excuses? 😂😂😂😂

I am on board with Nurse having to look to use fresh legs in this game. My hope is forsome combination of Payne Hield, Council and Reed

Plus Brunson had walked in the previous game, got the bucket and the foul, and there was nothing said. He moved his pivot feet as well! 🤔

I’m not saying they’re rigging this for a team but game 7 at MSG come on that sounds amazing 🤩

It's all about the narrative NBA wants to push each year. This year, NY being back on the "main stage" attracts a lot of money and followers. The gritty team, the hard work, never give up team. That's why they made sure the series leaned towards them. When there'll be time to push for the Embiid finally getting a ring narrative, it'll be different. The only team that defies this manipulation is Denver because hey, you cannot decide whether a clutch shot goes in or not. That's why Denver's ring is more valuable than other big market ones, because their fight is also against the narrative.

Sixers fans attempting to frame it like there is some grand conspiracy 😂. The whole “NBA is rigging the series for the Knicks” is a absolutely hilariously dumb theory

More like Sixers fans, you have Zero room to complain about. I still see Sixer fans complaining about game 2 and the series should be 3-3 right now heading back to NY. So because of game 5, I don't want to hear anything more about game 2, because it evens out. Stop acting like it's only NY complaining. Philly complains and cries way more. Embiid's signature move is to throw his hands up in the air looking for a call after every play.

I personally don’t want it to be a seven game series since we have the chance to close tonight but there is no question that this has been the best series by far this playoffs. I agree with you completely on that. Tonight will not be a letdown either.

Knicksfan here. First of all what a great series. Love both teams for hardnose basketball. Now to the refs, it depends from which side you look at it. Both teams aren’t happy with the officiating but to be honest which team is happy about it. Never heard a player or a fan call out a ref for a good game. But, the refs did not decide the outcome of the games. Players still had control in boxing out, making freethrows, don’t turnover the ball and so on. The team who wants it more got the win so far and that will determine the outcome tonight.

Yeah and the Harden step back is a travel too 🤣🤣🤣

Random thought, if barely anybody is signed for next year, no potential trades this offseason?.. I like it though fresh Ricky or KJ tonight hopefully 🤞

As much as I would love to see B-Ball Buddy get going, he’s gun shy and at this point I’d rather Payne or Batum get that time! Buddy was gun shy before the playoffs started but he still pulled the trigger and now he’s loading up and either hesitates or passes!!! We should’ve advanced already, but we have shot our selves in the foot in each of those losses!! LETS GO SIXERS!!!!!💪🔥

NBA REALLY WANTS KNICKS....ALL THE TOUCH FOULS BRUNSON GETS, IF MAXEY GOT HALF THE CALLS..SIXERS BE 3-2

LOL The NBA trying to even things up for NY fans and Knicks players by saying Maxey traveled on his 4 point play LOL, its BS you need a magnifying glass to see it.. Every NBA player does that same move every game and it has not been noticed or called ever, so nice try but sorry its BS..

I know that SIXERS Never Say Die Team.. It's a 7 playoff game. 8:47

lets talk real facts. Embiid is 1-7 in elimination games. They call travel he is 0-8. meaning embiid is choke artist. your two wins u need 50 from embiid and 47 from Maxey so unless one of them drops 50 this series is over.
