Inside the NBA reacts to 76ers vs Knicks Game 2 Highlights

Apr 27, 2024

This exciting night of playoff basketball started for us at the Garden of New York Jaylen Brunson and the Knicks were looking for a two shot lead on Joel Embiid and the Sixers but Philly jumped nine nothing on him it was an incredible

game

and Embiid connects . there he had 12 in the first quarter, well those are the two best

game

s in the history of T. You said be a good Tyrese Maxi, meanwhile, early in the day he missed the shooter round, he didn't miss much in the first half, he had 20 in the first half I wish I could play like that if I was sick Tobias Harris came out of the corner and it's a 10-point Philadelphia lead Jaylen Brunson's man, he didn't shoot the ball well but it's two and 0 and that's all there is to it It matters, but he has the man to stop the ball Josh Hart had 19 and 10 in the half 5349 Sixers going to the Third they are going to stop they are going to explode he is going to fall we are tied at 55 man embiid that's J Man Brunson oh, understand that, I mean, we're showing a lot of freeways from Brunson, but he wasn't competent like he normally is, he hasn't been in the series, hasn't he, he's 17 for 55.

I think, how about Hartenstein with 10 points in the third quarter, nothing more than your energy and your effort? Hardstein was amazing, Banovic can hit a three and then I thought this was wrong, I thought this right here, him and Banovic and obviously Hart and a Hardin man kept him when Bronson was struggling in game 9492 and there's Maxi in the hole to tie it now. It was a terrible decision, this is a foul, he has the ball, he is hitting him on the shoulder, they said, he said, they hit the ball first before anything else and it was a loose ball and well, he let the ball come, he hit him on head. on the shoulder that's why the ball was the challenge was confirmed yes, that doesn't mean anything so Philadelphia receives the ball and Maxi makes the jump shot oh good shot Maxi ah three this game is over no, that's what they thought 10196 Jaylen Brunson Ben fighting you need a rebound and he got it oh hey time out time out time out no no one's coming that's how far I won't grab the shirt shut up grab the shirt that's not It's a shirt grab, no, don't get it, oh my shot. outside baby give us one more oh there's Dante again Cash Out 102 grab the shirt hit him in the head hit him in the shoulder that's a foul do you want to cancel the push first he did what sequence look at that man he's a grown man rebound that's the game winning the same with Aaron G that Hardstein's rebound was that was a huge man so New York suddenly up for a Philly didn't finish look Maxi oh go get that hin, he got another one and they keep the leading pair of free the shots make it a three-point game Maxi feeds at the horn, no and the New York Knicks take a two-zero series lead over Philadelphia 104 101 it's your final um, pick, I mean Josh Hart 21-15 on the night divon Cheno Dean chenzo with his 19, including that huge three at the end and the Knicks lead two games to none after the game Chris Haynes with Jaylen Brunson just walk me through that offensive possession where you hit all three offensive rebounds got the steal in the end he just walks, it's crazy I can't hear anything you're saying, all I know is that he made a great shot.

I play like you know what, but I mean, we're going to keep fighting, that's all that matters. I'm just trying to catch the ball. I mean, I'm just trying to get the ball, let me throw it in bounds, it's hard for me to catch it, I had to pass it, it comes out, jumps there and gets the ball again and tries to do the best I can. I felt like I missed the first one. one be completely honest, that's why I expected Isaiah to get the offensive rebound only CU. I knew he was going to get a second chance.

You know, we practice that every day. Three daggers and three second chances, so once OG got it. I just prepared and you know how to live with the results, I mean, Ty went far, you know, a couple of times, you know, we just had the same thing against Miami with Tyler, all of that is unacceptable to you, you know, it put us in that situation . You know, yeah, that's unacceptable. Losing a game like this, especially in the playoffs, we should be two and 0, so you know we're good, we're going to win this series. You know we're going to win this.

We know what we have to fix. We did a better job on this, so we're going to fix it, but we're the better team and we're going to keep fighting. Ben Stiller, you saw him in the crowd at the Garden Ben, he still loves Nicks, he's short, just um. play that game now look that's better that's better what i want to hear from joel embiid you know why you can't get down when you're the leader of the team because they're going to follow your lead i like that he didn't say that the first time we get there We're going to come back and win this series, that's what I want my leader to say because whether he's down or not, he's going to leave it like, hey, game's over, we're going home, they did what they did.

We're supposed to do it if we have the best team, we have to win the next two, first we all have to win three, then we have to win four and then the series starts again, but I like what he said. I didn't like it at first. head down because he didn't say we're the best team so I feel good about my Sixers but obviously they had to win the next two you know he's obviously upset about the no calls but they really should be upset with themselves the last rebound that Hardenstein got, you have to work a little harder on that rebound, so you should be really upset that you let one get away, take that anger and go into the third game and not just win it by four or five. to try to send them a message, I know he says they are going to win, but now you have to show them because one thing about the Knicks is that they started very slow, with four turnovers, but they will keep coming.

They keep coming, they're going to keep coming so you really have to push them away like Charles says put your foot on their neck and you have to shut them down yeah Jaylen Brunson only shoots 29% in this series and two out of 12 threes hit the big three where he got the jump, but for them to be up two nothing with Brunson not playing at that level Brunson, we've been seeing what the system tells them Nick, Coach Tio is in a great system where guys could flourish regardless of the As a result, you have other guys that can fit into something like a football environment, meaning when you have a football team there are certain plays and you can put certain guys in to make sure it happens if you have quality players, the Knicks they have quality players in a great system, they never feel nervous because I think the system the Nicks have now is because they don't play that traditional role of picking and picking guys, allowing people to do that. take advantage of their superpowers so you can feel comfortable take advantage of your superpowers even when you're the best players and you don't play your best you beat a Philadelphia 76er team, that's great, yes, but I said before the series that it would come down to the role. players and if you look because we know that brunon is a star, we know that Max is a star and he is a star, but Hart Hardenstein have been even chenzo but Hart McBride, but no, but Hart and Hardenstein have been incredible. key without heart is the key yes, but no, but yes heart heart is but I say I said whoever because I thought this was a good series for friend, friend Hills has been MIA uh tabas Harris has not played well I said who played better en The auxiliary players and those guys have to play much better at home.

Let me understand this from the players' perspective. When you're a ler tonight or you're a sixer tonight and you've taken a gut punch like both of them. So what is the collective mentality? I know you'll hear, look, they did what they were supposed to do and now, but I mean, what do you really feel? Shaq, we want the Sixers or Lakers first, either could take them both, okay Lakers. We have the ability to hit double digits, we just have to do it to keep the energy up and do what we've been doing again. I wonder why you double, listen, it's about plays, it's about making shots, but mostly it's about effort, you know?

The ad had a tremendous first half, you're talking about the Joker, he played very well in the first half and the second half ad has to step up. I'm not talking about the ad because he played a great game, but you have to take more than they could get. Give him the ball so he can take more than one shot and Philly, you let one get away tonight, you know, you got fouled, no, you let one get away, show a little more effort, they're killing you on the backboard. , I guarantee you. when they were reviewing the Scottish report they weren't talking about Josh Hart now you have to talk about Josh Hart you have to make adjustments for Josh Hart you know Brunson isn't playing well I don't know if it's just him shooting or if it's the Philadelphia defense, but Let's hope he continues to play well, but you can't get a guy averaging 9 points, 22 in the first game and 19 in the second, more so to the point of how you process it mentally.

On most teams, you know, I've been lucky enough to be on teams that have been down 20 and come back. What I thought was Universal is from the coaching staff, they only showed when we went up 15 in the video room and that. Was it showing us how we got up from a thought process of not insisting on how you're losing it, insisting on how you're winning it because the players are delusionally confident anyway, you could be losing three and say well, we can win four? followed they have a delusion of grandeur anyway so you have to insist from the coaching point of view and the management point of view on that 15th race and that's it and we're going to go and that's how we keep it right , uh, first of all, you have To get over last night's depressed impression, go out and eat well, New York, go out, Philadelphia, we're going back to Philadelphia, you'll be thinking about one or two plays here, there, same with the Lakers.

You fly home and then tomorrow comes, you have to ignore it, that's fine, because the good thing about both teams is that they haven't lost anything yet, the dev nuggets and the Nicks did what they were supposed to do now, obviously the third game is a You should, but you don't tell the guys that we're good, we just have to win the next two games, but listen, when you hit a good punch like that, you shake yourself a little bit, yeah, hey, you recovered if we were boxing this.
