Agree, however, two totally and independent separate matters.

On the last Philly possession, the obvious played out: That being, the Knicks knew (as did the whole viewing audience) that Philly was going to try to have Maxey take the game tying 3, so, of course, the Knicks doubled and hedged on Maxey.  Maxey, was also gassed at game's end as he and Embid where the only two 76er's that showed up the entire game.  Embid's hoist was in complete desperation, credit the Knick's D I guess there, but again, pretty easy strategy considering how inept the rest of the Philly players played.

Actually, he missed two down the stretch, went one of two of both occasions in crunch time.  Brutal misses for Philly no doubt.

Ha.  Clearly folks see what the want to see.  I mean, Hart was backpedaling to begin with, so a minor shove along with Hart's complete embellishment made it appear significant.  If only Hart had fallen down there, they refs would have ignored the flop and ensuing automatic T call.   ;)

I guess it depends on one's interpretation of 'waning.' I said [I]waning moments[/I] not minutes.  Moments, in my view, are seconds, minutes, well are minutes.  For what it's worth, Maxey hit that three to put them up 4 with 1:09 left in the game, so still a few possessions left for both teams.
