    Classic Thibs game. 4 starters playing 43+ minutes in 2024 lmao.

  2. EternallyEuphoric

    What do you think about Tobias Harris’ execution?

    I’m in favor of it

    -sixers fans

  3. jeric13xd

    VILLANOVA KNICKS what a team

    Thank you basketball gods for a great series

  4. I blame ~~Ben Simmons~~ ~~Doc Rivers~~ ~~James Harden~~ ~~the bench~~ ~~the refs~~ ~~the fans~~ Tobias Harris

  5. MediocreTake

    People will talk about The Process but the bigger story here is that the 76ers haven’t been passed the second round since NBA legend Ty Lue cursed them for stepping over him in the finals

  6. KarchunToo

    On the brightside, Sixer fans will never have to see Tobias Harris play for them ever again

  7. Sc0rch1ngDr4g0n

    Round 1 isn’t over yet, but this already feels like the best series with all these nail-biter ends.

  8. Tobias paid $40M to put up 0/2 in an elimination game lmao.

  9. Purples_A_Fruit

    It’s nice that the Knicks were finally able to close out a series at home.

  10. BlazeBloom

    Bucks and Knicks didn’t get the memo that today was National Bench Day.

  11. Palifaith

    Tobias Harris scored as many points today as Jimmy Buttler did last night.

  12. By beating the Sixers, the Knicks have advanced past the first round in consecutive playoffs for the first time since **2000**.

  13. NoPointRacing

    fuck philly but this was one hell of a series god damn

  14. ReturnOfAKidNamedTae

    Tyrese Maxey can’t hurt me anymore.

  15. I don’t know about you guys, but I wish I could get paid like Tobias Harris for that elite elimination game cardio.

  16. PrancingDonkey

    **I don’t care what anybody fucking says, Jalen Brunson is a superstar.**

  17. doublegoldendragon

    That was one of the best playoff games I’ve ever seen. Both teams just refused to go away

  18. Captain_Saftey

    I am not going to live as long as I should because I watched all 6 of these games

  19. Sports_hysterics

    I need a fucking cigarette after all of this.

  20. TheLoneWolf527

    That possession where Embiid fouled out was beyond brutal. They let SO much time go off the clock, did NOT foul Josh Hart, and then Embiid had to foul out anyway. Everything they could have done wrong they did.

  21. Sea-Wind8945

    You cannot carry OG Anunoby into the airport because that dude is a weapon

  22. igotinfirstlol

    Almost had heart palpitations but the Knicks pulled it off 🙏🏻

  23. alexaustinv

    The Knicks are a tenacious team and Brunson is the franchise. Josh Hart is such a dog and doesn’t show any slowing down no matter how many minutes he played. Really sad to see such an effort from the Sixers end up the way it did. The NBA is better when the Knicks are playing well, the fandom is insane and I love it. Look forward to the offseason and what is to come. Good luck Knicks, take out those Celtics for me.

    Good series Knicks fans. Every game was fun to watch. Brunson is amazing, and also the new Trae Young to me. He made some big time shots and Josh hart drained that 3 at the end that was big balls. I’ll wind up rooting for you guys if you play Boston because fuck the Celtics, but feels like whoever won this series doesn’t have a chance against them.

    Your clock is ticking Morey! This is the offseason that makes or breaks this team with all the space, picks to trade, no excuses. We need to get more athletic and 2 way guys.

    It’s 7am here in Finland. I was trying to fight it but fell asleep at halftime. I then had a dream about being in some utopic hotel explaining to my wife why this Game 6 is so important to win. Then woke up to see my boys pulled it off. Love this team!

    Tip of the hat to Philly for being a tough opponent in an iconic series!

  27. Reminder the Knicks beat a fully healthy 76ers team without their own Julius randle and Bogdonovic
