Exactly my thought, he had the ball pinned to the court on the left, but that’s a stretch.
The foot was sort of close, but I still agree, these guys miss so many obvious calls it's really confusing.
I guess we can only assume in general the speed of the game makes it nearly impossible to ref well. Otherwise, wouldn't they be about to find a couple dozen people to do it half decently?
A 76ers win to drag this series out would be the best result but its really difficult to root for them
I said the same. I reminds me of when MLB umpire Tim McClelland said that the reason he blew a call was that “In my heart, I felt the runner left the base early.”
This Knicks team reminds me of some of those overachieving high seed Celtics teams under Stevens before the talent started flowing.
Brunson is better than IT (and less of an obvious target on D), but aside from him they have so little offensive firepower.

Embiid has had nothing for the last 4+ minutes of this one. Others have said it, but he obviously needed at least a short break in the second half and didn’t get it.
Philly playing terribly on both ends down the stretch. Oubre bringing the ball up (?!?!? wyd Nick???) and taking an early in the clock three followed by Embiid switching off Brunson when nobody was rotating...you can't survive playing in the playoffs like that.
I love how Embiid playing full-court defense on a PG completely messed up his team's defense, leading to a short floater by the opposing team's best player.
That might have been the best thing that could have happened to them. Achiuwa seemed to get every loose rebound and was great on defense.
Legit, one of the most destructive defensive efforts by a single player on a play all season.
