Big Blue Huddle

Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on Today at 05:41:20 PMI said it was going to be very physical, because that's what teams think it will take to stop NY. And boy was it ever - first flagrant foul within minutes of tip off with an elbow to Divi's eye - bleeding like a sieve. Then Embid got away with a flagrant foul by stiff arming Mitch and then grabbing his leg as Mitch came down, causing him to land on the back of his neck under the basket...got a foul call, but it wasn't called flagrant - and everyone could see it was flagrant. Mitch could not return to the game. Then later, Embid wrapped up Hartenstein again as he was coming down the court, and this time brought up his knee with a hard shot to the groin, laying out I-Hart. That was called "Flagrant 1" and announcers both said that both flagrant 1s should've been flagrant 2s, and the first hard foul delivered by Embid should've been flagrant

Rough game. Thought I was watching hockey for a bit. It's obvious Philly's game plan - hard fouls over and over and try to injure a Knick

Yeah I feel like the refs felt compelled to over correct their performance at the Garden. But the Sixers and Embiid in particular, THUGGED their way through this one while the refs basically looked away.

NOT COOL!

I hope we DESTROY them in game 4 and then finish them off at the Garden.

Mahomes helped a bit.  But point taken that the defense carried them all season being one of the very best.  I think the Giants are building a similar type of defense that can carry the team and a less than stellar offense on their backs.

Damn.. Washington took Ben Sinnott!

Quote from: madbadger on Today at 08:31:57 PMIn fairness he was talking about his physical dimensions.

He didn't think of Jonathan Ogden. He compared Alt to Solder's length and athleticism. If we're talking about Nabers or Ogden it's a much different discussion. Alt isn't that guy. His style is actually similar to Solder.
