  1. This game shows why “Brunson hero ball” is not a winning formula for a physical 7 game series. He was so gassed in OT: 1 basket, 2 turnovers, 4 missed shots, 0 assists

  2. Tobias Harris is physically on the court but it always feels like he's not on the court. Almost zero impact on the game

  3. I'm just an observer, not a fan of these teams. Why is Embiid constantly getting called for fouls? With any touch. Imagine if Jokic had been judged like this. Nikola would score 50+ points every match))

  4. Not a fan of either team and didn't catch the entire game but it looks like the Knicks are getting crazy love from the refs in these clips.

  5. Josh Hart missed Free Throw and they're up by 3. Basketball 101 that you foul there but Knicks coaches are just stupid as Maxey hit the 3.

  6. Without watching any Knicks games, but only watching this ending to this game, does Brunson ever pass the ball? That dude was ball hoggin the whole end of the 4th and overtime. He took every shot down the floor.
