LOL at Simmons trying to claim he foresaw the Brunson improvement
Exactly. He was not about it on the pods after he was signed.
Bill is a 🤡 which makes Ryen the crap on the clown's shoe.
Any fan that's seen a whole series of Joel Embiid go up against their team absolutely hates him. Dude is a flopper, whiner who takes no accountability. He'd still be MVP level without all these shenanigans. Knicks fans 🤝 Raptors fans
Except he wouldn't be an MVP candidate. Embiid gets a bunch of nonsense calls that no one else in the NBA gets. He even out FTs the Lakers who get the FT edge on everyone else. Embiid is Julius Randle with an NBA protected stat boost. Not only do the FTs give him free points, but now his opponents can't be as aggressive since they're in foul trouble so he gets more cheap points.
Meanwhile Jokic shoots zero free throws in game 5 against Lakers. Nba refs must all be from Philly.
Embiid was a bully. He knocked Ben Simmons silly. He was the reason Butler demanded a trade. He scold his teammates. Just look at him scream at his teammates with no respect.
and don't forget, he is actually a dirty player. i've now seen several examples just in this series. i want to like joel, but he's making it real hard.
@@laz0rama THIS is the problem... i also want to like him but he literally makes it impossible with his attitude and foul baiting and then acting oblivious and like somehow HE IS THE VICTIM.... why is it that the people who get the greatest benefit of the doubt are also the ones who are most entitled and feel like they are the most victimized at the same time?
it is impossible to like such people... and if you do... i have to believe there is some sort of psychological condition there
I don't think I've ever seen anyone play as dirty as embiid on one end and then complain about calls on the other end.
You haven’t watched LeBron James?
@nocturne311 I've seen bron do plenty of crying but don't remember him trying to hurt so many of the other teams players.
@@rah0210 there are some vids of exactly that (lbj making dirty plays).
Dirty lol
@@laz0rama I mean I hate Bron as much as most but he’s been in the league twice as long and and in been in WAY more games than Embiid. Simply doing some doesn’t mean he does it as much even if in aggregate he might have a few by dint of how much he’s played.
lol Jesus that Clyde joke was dark.
Damn man give us a time stamp! 7:30
True story: my dad was a student at SIU and picked up Walt Frazier hitchhiking, gave him a ride. My dad was always a ginormous college hoops fan.
It was bad/awkward man, come on Bill, don't put your cohost on the spot like that with a tasteless joke.
Yeah Clydes too old to play like that but i knew it was a joke right away.
Yeah, he said it very serious. Clyde is almost 80. Wouldn't be a huge surprise if he suddenly passed unfortunately
The look on Russillo's face @ 7.41.... Gold
That Clyde joke was the darkest joke that I heard this year.
I was looking for this actually lol especially Clyde is at that age in which it wouldn’t be a surprise
Maybe get out more 😂
Damn man give us a time stamp!

Brunson is amazing. Head of the snake. But acting like this was not a team win is what’s wrong with sports reporting. People were betting on the Sixers because they’re only looking at the star player. Maybe look into that…
BTW, no way Bill has seen a single entire regular season Knicks game…
I'm a Knick fan that detests Embiid and even I can acknowledge that the Sixers are trash but are being saved by a hobbled Embiid
But Precious didn’t foul embiid “20 times” like you thought. He stood up embiid multiple times in the 4th when it wasn’t OG. Block him too. Respect that man!
The media still refuses to talk about Deuce McBride's two-way play. He's been playing and producing more than Donte on both ends and he makes 3 million a year.
I think they have him locked up for 3 more years. They will probably lose Hartenstein this season
Knicks might own the two best contracts in the nba bw mcbride and brunson.
@@rah0210I think hartenstein is like 8 mil a year... Maybe not the same caliber as the two you said but pretty damn close
Donte put up 3pt numbers (volume and accuracy) only matched by Steph and Klay. Deuce isn't at that level yet on the offensive end.
@@rah0210and hartenstein, so that's 3... HART too if you want to make it 4... knicks are actually pretty impressive
Jalen Brunson has completely changed the culture and the way The Knicks are perceived in the media. He is our Derek Jeter. Something special is in the NY City Air. Let’s Go Knicks. 🧡💙♾️
Everything you said about Jalen Brunson cannot be said about Joel Embiid. I love watching what Brunson is doing!
@@Chalk89 truly amazing to see and experience. I have been purposely watching games with the Knicks fan base and the vibes are immaculate.
Embiid forgot that Achiwa definitely isn’t that guy from the Toronto series a couple years ago on the close out 😂😂
The only people that thought Brunson would be stopped, are the people that didn’t watch the Knicks during the season. Brunson has BEEN doing this type of stuff. This isn’t new!
I mean, if anyone watched him in the playoffs last season, especially against Miami, they would know Brunson plays best when the lights shine brightest
Literally man. He's probably the most slept on great player I've ever seen. It's shocking.
Please beat the Celtics!
He ALWAYS finds a way to personally beat his opponent.
@@joeyc4633Paul Pierce was pretty slept on.
Embiid is healthier than people think. He scored 50 in a playoff game
Just excuses...😂 He ALWAYS CHOKES in the playoffs!!!
Ryan legitimately thinking bill was telling the truth about Clyde hahaha he was shocked for 5 seconds. That was hilarious
“There was no evidence Brunson would get here” ….Except his entire basketball career. Never stopped growing as a player. Has won at every level he’s played at. Winning is a skill.
This is true
When you look back at his college career.
This arc makes complete sense.
I mean...is that a good metric? "Winning at every level" prior to the NBA is true for most players. The NBA is another level. You don't really know until they show you.
So you projected Brunson to be a legit MVP candidate? In his second year? C'mon man. No one had it in their book.
@@assibarulpan2853 this is not Brunson 2nd year.
@@TheDiegoo17I’m assuming he meant second year on the knicks
The look on Russillo's face @ 7.41 when Bill darkside pranked him... Gold... :)
Bill made an excellent point about Embiid and the other stars in this era. An era of team-stacking, excuse-making, zero accountability, zero self-awareness, little to no defense, big men chucking threes and hoping for the best, and worst of all, team-switching. If things dont work out in one season, they bounce to another team again and again. Thankfully, this era is coming to an end. Out with the old and in with the new. The NBA is watchable again thanks to the new generation of players and a new culture of basketball. These younger players show more physical defense, teamwork, hard work, passion, play your role, do your job, players play, coaches coach, postup play, etc. Parity and balance is makin the game better and more competitive. Lesser known teams are competing and its exciting to see!
Wait to that super max kicks in year 2 when the player is hanging out w his financial advisor and playing for the future commercials not wins
To categorize the entire gen like that insane
@@Ploytu is he wrong though look at embiid,harden,ben simmons,paul george,durant,AD etc the 2010's generation was spoiled and quick to create narratives to protect themselves from scrutiny while also claiming they're worth the hassle they bring
@@mxhughesjust give it time. The new generation doesn't have the "pressure to win now" just yet.
Honestly with the way AAU and College ball w the transfer portal is, I wouldnt expect team switching & super teams to go away. These new players are all just too young & havent reached that point yet, its going to happen.
The Philly health argument also is poor because theres no Julius Randle for the Knicks!
julius randle on the floor might have helped the sixers if his playoff resume is any indication lol
and only a fraction of mitch!
@@laz0rama And no thanks to Embiid on that.
No Randle is the best thing that has ever happened to the Knicks.
This guy bill Simmons thinks he predicted every player becoming a star LOL NO ONE THOUGHT he’d be this great
Right I’m a huge Brunson fan and my ceiling for him was no where near this
@@Shortballa11I’m a Mavs fan and I was foolish to think they didn’t make a terrible decision. But really happy to see Brunson go off like this.
He actually said it wasn't a good signing, that Brunson wasn't going to change the needle for the Knicks.
It just goes to show how important being in the right place is. Does anyone think he makes this leap in Dallas?
@@mjwbulich yes. He was already making the leap
Embiid had more free throw attempts than Jokić this regular season in fewer than half the games & minutes
At this point being a Sixers fan is just asking to get depression😔
Especially after sucking for years and embiid Is really the only guy left from that
What happened to “Trust the process” lol?
@blaketindle4703 the process was BS from the start. You can't tank for years and expect to develop winning players. You're teaching them that losing is accepted
Knicks fans can relate...but yall organization has tried to create a winning culture by losing(The Process) that was a mistake. it honestly ended with the Toronto shot that was yall best chance. The Tobias Harris signing over Jimmy huge mistake. That Ben Simmons fiasco Huge mistake. signing of James Harden Huge mistake. Joel is dirty player
This depression started with drafting Fleutz and Simmons, both massive failures and set them back , which they had to trade.
Getting Harden and Doc Rivers too didn't do them any favors.
Respect to Russillo for not letting Bill do his revisionist history thing. There's literal footage of him questioning the Brunson signing
You guys need to be honest with what the players on the knicks has done as a team collectively to ensure they win the series. Brunson was inefficient the first 3 games. It was Josh 3’s and the team play that allowed them to win. And when Brunson finally shows up you guys only see Hart struggles from 3 and states Brunson has carried the knicks to victory. Again it is the entire team effort and yes game four Brunson played out of his mind: my point is he had more than one game where he didn’t play so well and it was his teammates that covered down. Show love to the teammates the same way you show love to the star….
yeah brunson was incredible in this game but he was genuinely terrible the 1st two games. if you swap the production of the supporting casts in this series the sixers have either swept or are up 3-1
Exactly. This is my point for all the “brunson is a superstar” people. He is a star player no doubt and he has a the mentality of a leader. He has a great cast around him that he benefits greatly from. EMbiid situation right now is almost the opposite..his cast sucks and as a result he has to play all damn game to keep them afloat.
I'm really trying to get behind Embiid and give him atleast the smallest benefit of the doubt but every time Embiid loses he ALWAYS blames someone. He blamed Ben Simmons then his team mates then the coach then the refs and now the crowed. I know sixers fans are going to try and stick up for him with excuses of being hurt, well he dropped 50. Not to mention how much he flops and gets 20+ free throws on the regular. The guy has been in the league for 12 years and can't get past the 2nd round of the playoffs all because Embiid plays way worse in the playoffs where it separates best players in the league compared to just really good players during the regular season and that's what Embiid is a really good regular season player and that's that.
Bro said Clyde was dead and i almost broke out in to tears. Can’t joke like that bro, please
Wtf dude? That was an awful Clyde “joke”! Gave me a heart attack.
RIP
yeah... so uncalled for... the sadness i felt in that moment... oof
I agreed - Yeah that was f* up!
It was a edgy joke it's fine
@@notimportant3686 my heart honestly sank.
As a Dallas fan. You saw that Brunson was fearless and could score inside against any1....he was a hell of a co star, Luka definitely showed him the ropes. While in Dallas you saw that Brunson was consistent day in and day out, he was def a top 25 pg already. Didn't expect him to move into the top 5-10 pgs easily the next year with the Knicks
He proved what he could do in the clutch during those playoff games that Luka missed a few years ago. 🤷🏻♂️
You can't gameplan for a team's HEART!
HART*
"and 5 minutes later Clyde was found dead....... I'm kidding" lol
Perfect analysis without sounding like a hater, its a hard thing
i've never seen anyone play FOR THE FOUL more than embood and that includes harden and lebron.... yes... that's how bad it is.... but here is what makes it so much worse
he is the biggest strongest guy on the court IN EVERY SINGLE GAME OF HIS CAREER
Would love to see the Knicks and Pacers have an exciting series that has shades of the 90s. I’d take the Knicks in 6 this year but the Pacers will get better and I could see the teams meeting multiple times in the playoffs in upcoming years.
The “well said” after Bill says it can be men’s or women’s team😂
Bill Simmons has to be a nightmare on April fools 😂
Agreed on all things Bernard King. It's an NBA tragedy (among the many) that he suffered that injury when he did, and that he didn't play a single game alongside Ewing with the Knicks. Exquisite player and great guy.
Joel Embiid has never beaten a 50 win team in the playoffs
I think Brunson was asking Embiid about the elbow shove he gave Hartenstein the play before. Not the one on him. I think it was Brunson saying, "Im done with your cheap shots on my teammates." That's why Embiid was confused.
Agree on you can't have it both ways. If your knee is hurt, then how did you put up 50 pts. Because your knee isn't actually hurt
Some sixers fans were saying that NYK is lucky embiids hurt. Mofo hes always hurt, thats the problem.😂
Dudes 30 years old now. You gonna make excuses till hes retired?
Exactly even when he's fully healthy, he's too heavy. They list him at 280 but he has to be close to 300 pounds. He looks like he has no energy at times
might go back to rewatch old Brunson tape to see if the signs were there. who are some players throughout history that had such a leap?
The signs were there bt no one could’ve predicted it still. He shot 50% in his 3rd and 4th seasons with Luka who monopolizes the ball. And he beat Mitchell head to Head in a playoff series when Mitchell was considered the second best shooting guard in the league
Steve Nash
Jokic
Tracy McGrady.
Just look at his on/off numbers for his playoff career. Sixers inability to solve the non-Embiid mins has been their fatal flaw
its kind of maddening seeing people say this series is another embiid failure when he was easily the best player in the series and the on/off kind of shows it. with embiid on the floor the sixers are winning the minutes fairly handily. with him off the floor they are getting absolutely destroyed
3/18 in Q4 this series...that has something to do with it.@@jimifender22
I think on/off numbers are flawed.
@@shorewall not when the difference is this stark. They are a plus by a lot when he’s on the court this series and they’re down 3-1. He’s averaging 40+ mins a game
@@shorewall they are for like a single game typically, particularly if a role player shares minutes with a star or something. This is not a circumstance where embiid's on/off splits are magically showing the team is really good with him on the court and miserable with him off. With embiid on the floor they are outplaying the knicks through the series pretty handily. With him off they cannot score and they cannot get stops. It's been the same story his whole career. If you think 8 years of data that show in teh playoffs the sixers are elite with him on teh court and terrible with him off is a huge coincidence idk what to tell you
I'm not trying to just like sweep away some of Embiid's bad moments from this series, but dude is also averaging 35, 9, and 6 on 61% TS. The team has one win, and Joel has 1 Win Share. I'm not saying he can't do more, but the idea that he is sucking or choking feels like an overreaction....
Yeah it's absurd to blame this loss on Embiid. The knicks team is just much better than the sixers team. Just look at the fact that the Knicks were able to pull off two wins when Brunson had very bad games. The only game the Sixers could win was when Embiid went off for 50. If Embiid had a game like Brunson's 1/2 the sixers get blown out by 20+.
Look at his 4th quarter performances.
Meanwhile Jokic and AD both grabbed 15 boards a game in their series. Embiid is too soft to win a chip and it shows on the glass more than anywhere else.
It's more about what he has done in the 4th qtr especially since most of the games have been close. He's averaging 6.8 of his 35 on 16.7% shooting and 48% TS in the 4th. .5 of his 9 rebounds in the 4th. So yes statistically for the whole game it looks great and if the sixers were dominating it wouldn't matter, but in a series with multiple close games you can't just dominate for 3 qtr. And call it good.
@@jammer9941 he has been the best player in the series and it hasnt been close. brunson was god awful not for a couple quarters, but for the 1st two entire games, the knicks still won because other players stepped up, if brunson got the support from his team that embiid has gotten this series the sixers would've either swept or been up 3-1. Embiid could have been better in 4th quarters for sure but he put his team in a position to win, they couldnt capitalize because when he leaves the floor they immediately give up an 10-0 run in 2 minutes every time. They are shooting 26% as a team with embiid off the floor. 31/9/6 on 61 ts% is mvp caliber play and hes doing it on a bum leg and a paralyzed face lol. Watching this series and pointing the finger at embiid is absolutely insane
The Clyde comment threw me off 😂
Embiid should have never been MVP a year ago. His attitude, body language, and leadership skills will never win him a title. He's soft and immature.
No one thought Brunson would be this good. He looks like a perennial All-NBA player.
Today final mvp nikola jokic had a 100 percent FT shooting 0/0 from FT...while the FT MVP shot 19/21 from the FT line...
Was Russello referring to obermann?
This Knicks team reminds me of the 2001 76ers. Iverson and Brunson were the offense surrounded by defensive mindset teammates.
I see that you saw thinking basketballs video
Maxey reminds me of Iverson more than Brunson.
Sixers should trade Embiid and surround Maxey with defensive minded players.
Melo said King was his guy. I can't imagine a 1 week old Melo watching King in the 1984 playoffs saying, "That's my guy!". 🤔
18:15 definitely Daryl Morey
Embiid joining the Knicks ship has sailed
The anonymous Philly fan has gotta be Chris Ryan right? 😂
I thought he was serious about Frazier being dead too. I was about to google it.
The frequency of "injuries" appears implausible at best. Yet they're occurring apparently. Something doesnt add up.
I suspect that Embiid fakes at least some of his injuries to rest and/or avoid blame for losses. It's like when Lebron is bringing out an injury every time they lose.
Negative comments on precious are a tell you didn’t watch the Knicks play post deadline
He stunk thus far stop it
This team has me so bummed out that i can't even watch this video, but can we at least acknowledge that this is a 7 seed losing to a 2 seed?
Not a regular 7 seed.
When Philly was down 4 points with just under 2 minutes left Embiid decides to try and press Brunson full court, gets blown by and Knicks get a lay up. Embiid has no mentality when it gets tough. He can’t function in tight moments.
That was 100% a Chris Ryan text.
What Brunson does, given his size and athletic ability, is simply amazing. It makes no sense in so many ways, but he does it over and over again. And it is obvious his teammates really believe he is the man. They are constantly looking for him. As for Embiid, I think he may need to lose a little weight, it would help his quickness and be easier on his body.
Revisiting this after basically ignoring jokic blowing a 20 point game 7 lead
Is that a double oven and then Microwave, air fryer, warming drawer?
1st Embiid will blame his teammates saying he is the only one playing with heart. Then he will blame Philly fans in Game 4 for not attending. Next, he will blame Morey for doing a terrible job (well that's true). Later, he would demand a trade and blame media for putting him on the bad light.
I wanna feel bad for embiid with all the injuries and the fact that the team falls apart any time he goes to the bench, but after all the dirty plays I can't care less
Bill are you gonna do this for Tatum when Knicks beat them
When will that be? 2034?
It would be nice if Tobias Harris, who makes $36 million a year would’ve contributed a basket or two to help out
The entire Philly team was gassed by the 4th. They aren’t used to playing big minutes unlike the thibs knicks
Embiid is a manufactured star created by the media and the refs
Mr. Cameroon is done
People living with Bell's palsy also may develop:
Facial pain or abnormal sensations
Excessive tears in one eye
Problems with taste
Low tolerance for loud noises
Pain around the jaw and behind the ear
Problems eating or drinking
They just announced that he missed shoot around because of a migraine.
At 22:00 he’s saying everything I’m thinking this year. Ok, so embiids hurt. But he was really good at the end of the year entering the playoffs? Then he drops 50 in a game. So just whenever he’s bad (a lot) it’s injuries but yeah you have your 50 point game and your 35 and 12s to end the year. Doesn’t make sense sorry Embiid fans
I don’t like making excuses for Joel Embiid, either, but the truth is that his conditioning isn’t very good. He can’t run full tilt for extended stretches. I think that his conditioning is poor because he’s been out for so long, and he couldn’t practice. 🤷🏻♂️
Kyle cut the Clyde joke from the tiktokt camera
Brunson is a good player no doubt but he benefits a lot from having a cast of players that actually perform well. He played mid the first 2 games and they still won.
Time to rebuild around Maxey
This was always supposed to be a gap year dumbass. Put some focus on the real issue. Harris going from 17 ppg to 9 in this series. But he’ll be gone and they have more cap space than any good team.
EMBIID had 9 TURNOVERS and 7 assists...NBA credited him with 10 one of the assists was a pass to MAXEY who shot the ball almost 10 seconds later.
6 of the 7 assists were to outside shoots...
NBA likes to inflate stats to compare with legends but forgets this TRIPLE DOUBLE before the 80s was a game with 1 assist
Knicks been working the 76ers all season. This shouldnt be a surprise.
As a Sixer fan, we are the worst run franchise in the league. So many missed opportunities. It just sucks smh
We need an emergency pod about the Lakers
That is the LAST thing the World needs.
Rusillo is the ULTIMATE Embiid apologist.
Mention Lowry once, and he's all over him for "flopping". But always deafining silence when it comes to foul merchant, whiney, dirty, Embiid.
Trae Brunson is the foul merchant. Embiid gets fouled.
@@k_hack9441 A truly insane, brain-dead response.
@@SchulzEricT watch the games bruh. Brunson has great moments, and he’s also taken the crown from Trae Young as the ultimate small guard foul merchant. Ergo Trae Brunson.
@@k_hack9441 Yeah, I understood what you said, but I've seen the games. Calling him a free throw merchant shows that you're bias is blinding you; he's a great player who's gotten no more FTs than you'd expect, just getting to the paint, drawing contact, and making shots. One relatively soft or even bad call doesn't make a player a FT merchant.
Again: Embiid is the worst, by a large large large margin, that I've ever seen. If you think Brunson is worse, or even on his level, or even 10% as bad, or even a FT merchant at all...? You need to check your bias.
@@SchulzEricT When Brunson jerks his head back on ANY contact whatsoever even when the physics doesn’t make sense, that’s foul merchant king work. I’m not talking about when he gets defenders to jump. That’s perfectly fine. Even Embiid’s last shot was a bad missed call at the rim. Larger players don’t get equal treatment.
Not a sixers fan, but was really hoping we’d finally see an injury-free playoff run for Embiid this year (I’m a sucker for redemption/proving haters wrong stories), instead he just added Bell’s Palsy(!) to his existing knee injury 🙁
😂😂😂Bill would be so sick if the Garden in Boston ended up half filled with Knicks fans in the ECF. You boston fans better be ready to buy em all up if it comes to that.
Bill better have this energy if the Celtics can’t close it out again
As a knicks fan i can tell you I've never hated a sports player for purely sporting/ on court reasons like i hate Joel Embiid. Hes just awful
Reminds me why
If we have to blame someone it has to be Tobias Harris and whoever paid him over Jimmy
ofc bill tries to pretend like he thought brunson made sense. im not a knicks fan but the majority of non knick/dallas fans thought brunson was not a guy that could be a legit star on a team. only people that believed that were the ones who brought him in and the fans in dallas who saw him play
THAT CLYDE JOKE WAS DISGUSTING
As a Sixers fan, I love Embiid….but. His body can’t make it through an 82 game regular season without getting some type of injury. And i honestly don’t think he is in shape to play 4 rounds/2 months of playoff basketball. The guy was gassed in Game 4 and had 1 point in the 4th quarter. He does this every spring as he shows glimpses of greatness and then just runs out of gas as the series goes on. I honestly think he’s too heavy and should lose 25 lbs to get in better shape. If we lose to the Knicks, this will be 7 straight years Embiid can’t get past the 1st or 2nd round. He’s just not built for a long season.
Definitely was signs for Brunson did yall watch him @ nova n wat he did n then wat he did without Luka in Dallas for a bit dude is literally built the right way 2 run point I knew Brunson was it when replace Scottie Reynolds as my favorite nova player
Job not finish. Job finish
I'm guessing that Clyde joke was supposed to be funny huh
It was funny. You’re not.
@@nocturne311 it wasn't. You chronically online mfs don't get punched in the face enough.
Embiid can't play on the box. So, he'll always be inconsistent in the 4th qtr. He's purely a perimeter big
Didn't Embiid score 50 the other day?
first round was garage
Brunson mvp
They wasted another 40 pt Brunson game.
Affirmative action MVP
Who so embiid gonna blame this time
probably literally everybody on the team for not being able to figure out how to not blow a 10 point lead in 3 minutes everytime he hits the bench. The team is +34 with him on the court this series and -38 with him off. Brunson meanwhile is -4 for the series. Embiid has been the best player and it hasnt been close
@@jimifender22 Great players make their teams better. They bring out the best. Fake great players use their teammates and throw them under the bus. Like Embiid and Lebron.
@@shorewall The sixers have a net rating of +8.4 with embiid on the court this series and a net rating of -43.8 with him off. How can you possibly look at that and think he is not making his team better lol
The 76ers are pretty much the black air forces of the NBA
If you think Knicks fans will start loving Embiid if he comes to New York just keep in mind that a lot of Knicks fans don’t even like Randle
instead of making it a "why is Embid and Philly not beating the Knicks?", how about identifying what the Knicks are doing to beat Philly. At the end of the day, all of the analysts who watch highlights don't understand the talent the Knicks have on their team, which is why they are so confused to why the Knicks are winning. Yes, Philly has 2 of the top 3 players in the series. but after that, Knick runs away with the better talent of the supporting cast.
Badmon Brunson
Dudes a bum. Blow that team up and try to get value for embiid while you still can...
