> Nurse said “I don’t think so” when asked if there was any thought to shutting Embiid down with the constant scares, and that Embiid continues to want to play and play through issues
> Nick Nurse calls Joel Embiid “a warrior,” and that he’s clearly doing everything he can to be out there for his team.
> Nick Nurse credited the Knicks for stepping up and hitting open threes late in the game, but said he could live with those shots — pretty clearly referring to Josh Hart getting those shots.
> “Well I ended up going back wit Tobias. I didn’t really have that as my set closing [lineup]. I did sub in Nico for Tobias because I had a baseline out of bounds play I wanted to score on, and [Nico] was a critical part of that.”
> Kyle Lowry calls Sixers-Knicks Game 1 “a real-life battle.”
>Says the Knicks “did their jobs,” highlighting their offensive rebounding.
>On the third quarter run he helped engineer, Lowry cited Kelly Oubre Jr.‘s defense on Jalen Brunson.

this sixers roster is being exposed; relying on high usage hero ball Embiid on one leg, 35+ year old role players that are essential to our success, minimum Oubre who is feast or famine, and the whole Tobi thing. And Maxey just not quite able to carry.
That off the backboard play was so unnecessary. And then, Even in the fourth quarter when the sixers still had a chance, we went to Embiid isos which produced terrible shots that barely grazed the rim instead of him running offense and finding a good shot.
