Joel Embiid had zero rebounds in the second half. Maybe the Sixers should focus a bit more on that. I think like 6 boards hit his hands and he didn’t grab any of them. – 1:39 AM

Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey combined for 69 points, 19 rebounds, and 16 assists in Game 2.
But, a great game ended in controversy. And the Sixers find themselves on the ropes.

We’ve been talking a lot about Embiid and Maxey, which makes sense since they’ve combined for 69 of the Sixers’ 100 points, and have 16 assists between them on top of that.
But if the Sixers pull out this comeback, Tobias Harris’ 4th quarter defense has been crucial. – 10:03 PM

A lot of focus on Joel Embiid, and he for sure had some bad shots and tough stretches early in the 4th, but the Sixers are getting precisely zero on offense if it’s not Maxey or Embiid creating them. Carrying the Sixers to a 94-94 tie with 3:49 left. – 9:52 PM

Great job by Robinson to jam up Embiid knowing he wanted the jumper and can’t drive.

Knicks just need to outlast Embiid.
If he can keep this up into the second half, we may have a series on our hands. – 7:59 PM

Embiid accounts for 63.6% of the Sixers’ points. He has nine points, two assists with five points created from assists. The Sixers lead 22-16 with 2:03 left in the quarter. – 7:58 PM

Say what you want about Joel Embiid’s mobility/agility but he just back-pedaled towards the basket and swatted the ball from Josh Hart’s hands.
Pretty impressive for a man his size. – 7:57 PM

Knicks switching the Maxey/Embiid PnR with OG/Hartenstein. Philly got bailed out by a DDV trip, but they were late clock. Doesn’t help when you cross halfcourt at 16 after a miss. – 7:46 PM

When players find out they aren’t playing for Team USA, they plan weddings and vacations. So if Joel Embiid and Kawhi Leonard ultimately must be replaced due to injuries, new players could come from a much wider pool, @TheAthleticNBA theathletic.com/5434183/2024/0… – 12:49 PM

Assuming Embiid plays and that he looks more like post injury 2nd half Game 1 Embiid than Miami or 1st half Knicks Joel… I expect him to have a fairly quick hook if this one gets out of hand early… couple days off before game three – 9:26 AM
