Loved you recognizing the evolution of Thibs. Since the 2021 loss to the Hawks, his strategy and willingness to change gameplans has improved greatly. He used a variety of defenders on both Maxey and Embiid, and has fully embraced "position-less" bball when necessary. Hell, he used Anunoby as a center at multiple points in this series
I also loved him recognizing Thibs changed and is a superb coach. I don’t think the Atlanta loss was it tho, the next season was terrible he was so stubborn and didn’t adjust at all. I think it came December 22’ when he took Fournier out of the rotation, gave quickley more responsibility, and just other adjustments that showed he can adapt. I’m a ride or die for Thibs now he lives breathes and bleeds basketball and it’s obvious how much talent he can squeeze out of the right guys
I always hated thibs because he seemed to stubborn to adapt but he’s started to change a bit. I still have questions about his offensive schemes and ability to adapt but he’s def not as bad as he used to be
"15-5-5 at the half, pretty mid for him", it's genuinely funny to me how true this statement is, if Luka plays at this pace for a full game then his overall regular season averages go down
I have a hearing disability so sometimes the music makes it so I can't actually hear what he's saying. Was fine in this video though :p @@africangoku1152
I’m a bit of an older viewer but I normally listen with my phone off when I cut grass or do stuff around the house but whatever you do ima support the content you put out man
I think Embiid's time is nearly over. He made TONS of dirty, intent to injure, plays in his mind "to protect himself". He should have been ejected at least 3 times this series but what this tells me is he already doesn't have faith in his own body. With a star player losing faith, and wasn't able to do anything in the playoffs beforehand... it doesn't look good for the future. Plus it starts with him when you talk about how many offensive rebounds the Knicks had.
I know injuries and fatigue probably played a part in it but embiid averaged 5 points in the 4th for the series (4 of them being free throws) while also shooting 28% from the field and 11% from 3
Big Knicks fans. Thibs definitely changed his coaching style here, since like December 2022. He’s show that he can adjust and adapt now which was my biggest criticism of him, his stubbornness. Love Thibs now. He lives breathes and bleeds basketball that’s my guy I think he’s a championship caliber coach and one that actually makes a difference. He’s like the Knicks pat riley
Audio experience would be great. Listening to these while making dinner or going on a run is amazing and being able to download them ahead of time would be a data saving game changer
I enjoy the BG music and Spotify for me as an Option would be nice, makes it easier to Listen while driving. But the slight music is chill and adds to the video for me 😊
Embid is a good center but he just doesn't seem to have the personality to lead a succesfull playoff run! It's like he just mentally unravels as a playoff series progresses until his team loses!
As a Sixers fan this is the best I’ve felt after a playoff series loss. Under Doc it felt like we were so dogshit against these top tier teams but with Nurse I feel like I can trust him to get these guys in a better spot if we just give him time. Also pray and hope for the love of god that Embiid has a healthy playoff run. In the series we never got blown out it was a series of runs throughout the series both teams made each game go down to the wire. We just need to regroup in the off-season and make the most out of Tobias no longer being a Sixer.
Knicks fan here, ya definitely gave us a fight, every game came down to the wire. Probably one of the greatest first rounds in NBA history. Now I will say, I don’t like Embiid, he’s always been a dirty player and it showed even more this series, so as a Knicks fan, respectfully fuck embiid, but man much respect to Maxey. That guy is gonna be so special for you guys if he isn’t already. He took the losses on the chin like a leader should and didn’t cry or complain about it. Just told his guys to regroup and be better. Much respect 🫡
Honestly, the music is a zero problem for me but I would love if the audio version was available cause sometime I’m in places where the internet isn’t the best and Spotify tends to be more reliable when playing stuff in low internet areas
At this point, the only way to accept this way of basketball is to accept that this is a part of the game just like taking a charge. It’s an annoying way to play but I guess it’s so prominent in this new style of basketball that the only thing we can do is to accept it because it ain’t going away anytime soon.
Yall are saying Brunson is playing in a bad way for that? Like what? 90% of his drawn fouls were him BLOWING PAST his defender, then going up and jumping back some and drawing contact. Lol he exploited their on ball defense and made 2 points into 3? It's not like he's doing the Harden armlock which is impossible to not be a foul. But come on, Brunson really is just playing smart. Play better, more honest D instead of trying to jump over the player and block his shot because YOU got burned on ball.. just my thoughts.
Podcast form sounds great. I'm honestly not a fan of the background music throughout the entire video though. It works in sections but I think there's a reason most other long-form pod-style videos don't have music. That being said, it is not that noticeable, so if it's kept at this sort of volume I think it works either way, and I have no idea what most people prefer.
The thing I haven’t seen people really mention is that they are missing Randle. I get that there’s a lot of Randle hate but he’s an allstar/all nba level player and has shown that he’s one of the best second options in the league. I think if he way healthy they may have actually been able to win it all.
anothrt nice thing about having it on other platforms is that we can listen with our phones in the pocket and not accidentally skip all over the place becaus the screen's on
Its so funny to me how everything that people were using to diminish Jokic MVP cases are the same ones Joel Embiid can't even get pass. Dude can't even reach the ECF on a extremely weak conference compare to the West
I really wish you would do the podcast later cus I always have basketball/baseball/football practice whenever you do the podcast and it’s a way better experience to watch it live.
The rest of Mavs showed Luka can trust in them come playoff time. Luka will go into the next series with more confidence and relaxation, knowing that the team will pick up the slack. Having a vet like Kyrie goes a long way, and it's just so great to see Kyrie loving life in Dallas. If the Mavs bigs can perform throughout the playoffs, they'll be genuine contenders - not just contenders because Luka and Kyrie can perform miracles. They have a good rotation at the 4/5 spot, they can get a good small ball team on court, got some good lob threats too. If they can get a consistent wing shooter who is reliable on defence (sorry THJ), I think this team can win a title or two in the next four to five seasons.
People keep commenting on Buddy’s attempt but the Knicks just fouled and McBride was going to foul again on the dribble. Ugly shot? Yes but not the wrong idea
def would prefer a podcast (on other platforms), I listen to ur vids during workouts and sometimes it gets annoying having it be a yt video cus I can not close the app (no premium)
I wouldn't say say. Imagine if Tobias Harris matches the effort of Nicholas Batum in the last 3 games of the series. Joel Embiied at his worst gave you a triple-double and Tyrese Maxey showed you why he's max contract. Weirdly, this team reminds me of the 2021 Lakers team before the AD and Bron injuries.
i don't mind the background music, but i do listen to this video rather than watching it, so having it on places like Google Podcasts would be convenient while helping you reach new audiences
Watching these highlights again is just reinforcing my belief that if Embiid were to get about 15-20 lbs lighter than he was during these playoffs. He would be primed to have another MVP season if he stays healthy. I feel like with the addition of PG and the 76ers finally accepting their place as underdogs in the East, this might be the year he stays healthy and doesn’t have to do too much. I don’t like that the 76ers gave up Buddy Hield though, I thought having his as a 3PT shooter to spread the floor with Paul George while Maxey and Embiid do their 2 man game would have made defenses miserable having to pick their poison by leaving either PG or Buddy Hield wide in the corner which is pretty much a free 3 pts allowing Embiid/Maxey to play 1 on 1 more bud I guess Kelly Oubre jr. Is gonna have step up on his catch and shoot 3s and while he’s not as good of a ballhandler as Hield he can back door cut and catch lobs off the ball, and he’s an underrated dunker in traffic if you give him the ball rolling to the hoop off a screen.
I’d definitely would prefer to watch the videos bc i play games and some times i look over but definitely when I’m driving it’d be nice to have a podcast option
I would actually prefer to keep watching the videos over listening to a podcast, it's nice to be able to glance at the added clips, and with youtube premium I can turn off my phone screen and still hear the audio anyway. Also I like the background music lol.
We knew this Philly team wasn’t deep enough to win the series, the fact that Embiid and Maxey were able to make this series even competitive is a win for them. This does not at all give Embiid a pass for horrible playoff performances in the past but is rather a welcomed improvement
Embiid bought every foul-call he could and had the averages you'd expect of an MVP and back-to-back scoring champ. Tyrese was had 3x games where he was the highest scorer on the floor. Meanwhile, Tobias Harris laid an egg every single game. If the 76ers don't drop him it's OvOver like a Kendrik diss.
Failed Super Teams Tier List Pod: ruclips.net/user/live5MSlVHfBuOI:
if tobias scored at least 4 points, the 76ers would've won. Fck Tobias Harris.
Josh Hart is the Luka Doncic of Derrick Whites
hell no lmao, Derrick clears that bum 😂😂😂😂
Derrick white the Tim Duncan of Jason Richardsons

Anunoby fits the Knicks high-hustle style perfectly.
The music doesn't bother me at all, but I would love this in podcast form. Saves my phone battery 😂
Less sus watching at work too… not that I don’t watch at work anyway 😂
REAL
@@maxhalley4373 what about it is “sus” to begin with?
@@spliffsforbreakfastWatching another man speak is so gay amirite fellas?

Yes, would love to be on Spotify

yes podcast plz, I listen during my commute and that would be a huge data saver
No views in 30 seconds, Rusty fell off
Stop it…get some help
Wow so original
Only 1800 views in 21 minutes? HUUUUUUGE FALLOFF
You’re not funny. At all.
Ikr. He a bum fr

That Knicks-2011 bulls analogs was *chefs kiss*😂
I still do not like the Knicks lol but knock on wood Brunson never suffers the same fate fr

He played awful to close games. Only good ending for him was the OT

Yep I would 100% love these type of videos in podcast form! Keep up the great content Rusty !
Blame Paul Reed. He jinxed Philly when he said they wanted the Knicks cause they were the “easier team” 🤣
he was still right tbh, he didn’t say EASY, just easier
And here I was asking for Philly
he weren't lying tho
idk why dumb Knicks fans thought it was a slight and insult to be considered weaker than the fucking Boston Celtics
i'd been waiting to hear your breakdowns of these games! your attention to detail is elite
This series has convinced me to buy a Josh Hart jersey
i’m a sixers fan and putting all biases and tobias harris aside, this is the best series i’ve ever watched no question about it
I enjoy the BG music and Spotify for me as an Option would be nice, makes it easier to Listen while driving.
But the slight music is chill and adds to the video for me 😊
I’m pretty sure Buddy took that last shot so early cause he thought they were gonna foul like the play before
Ok but fr this on spotify would go hard since I love having your videos on in the background
Embid is a good center but he just doesn't seem to have the personality to lead a succesfull playoff run! It's like he just mentally unravels as a playoff series progresses until his team loses!
3:54 Jacob was so proud of his joke🤣🤣
Competition from goat got rusty experimenting and mixing things up. Loving it and looks great rusty. Love this.
Nah Joel was out for so many games with him they finish top 3 this year but if i was Joel i would want out
As a Sixers fan this is the best I’ve felt after a playoff series loss. Under Doc it felt like we were so dogshit against these top tier teams but with Nurse I feel like I can trust him to get these guys in a better spot if we just give him time.

I love the background music
Love these summary type
Of videos!

Not covering the last Magic v Cavs game is criminal. I understand most of the series but 5 was a good game.
YES OMG podcast would be great rusty 🔥🔥
I only hear most of your videos on my way to work. So yeah pod style I like the idea 👍👍
Ive been saying this for the longest Embiid ain't it. You can be a great player all you want but the playoffs and finals is where legends are made!
Am I the only one that got really annoyed at Brunson and Embiid foul baiting for 6 games. Its just a weak way to play the game
SGA does the same
At this point, the only way to accept this way of basketball is to accept that this is a part of the game just like taking a charge. It’s an annoying way to play but I guess it’s so prominent in this new style of basketball that the only thing we can do is to accept it because it ain’t going away anytime soon.
Yeah you're the only one
Except one is over 7 foot and the other is 6’ 2”

I actually "listen" instead of "watching" your vid. So yeah, I appreciate the no bgm. I don't use spoty though.
Is it weird that I actually agree w Stephen a smith that the sixers should build around Maxey?
Yes, Maxey has not been an efficient scorer when Embiid is not on the floor.
@@udithsethu552they need other efficient scorers. Harris is so trash it’s not even funny.
Idk if it’s sustainable but I loved this one with all the plays as you talked about them. Really great watch.
The thing I haven’t seen people really mention is that they are missing Randle. I get that there’s a lot of Randle hate but he’s an allstar/all nba level player and has shown that he’s one of the best second options in the league. I think if he way healthy they may have actually been able to win it all.
Maybe if he wasn’t one of the worst playoff stars in history. Course that coulda changed this year but I wouldn’t gamble on it
DUDE! Keep up this kind of editing! Throw money at it if you have to!!
I drive a lot for work and listen to these while I drive.
anothrt nice thing about having it on other platforms is that we can listen with our phones in the pocket and not accidentally skip all over the place becaus the screen's on
Podcast form would be good, I think keep the music though, it adds to the vibe
I like your current format for me
a podcast format on spotify would be amazing!
Scoring us getting easier or offenses getting better?
I have to do long drives more often now so having this in an audio format would be really nice for that! :)
You're a good talker. Thank you.

26:37 bro .... Embiid was useless in the 4th every game except for game4 when he got 13 FREE-THROWS in 7min .
Ya do the podcast but def make sure they’re long enough to be worth it. The 40 mins or whatever here was perfect
Think it’s a great idea Rusty, I listen like it’s a pod anyway but would be handy for others I’m sure.
Too bad that Embiid cant cry his way into NBA chip like he did into his mvp title.
People keep commenting on Buddy’s attempt but the Knicks just fouled and McBride was going to foul again on the dribble. Ugly shot? Yes but not the wrong idea
Buddy panicked but ofc the Knicks were going to foul, I believe Buddy was expecting a foul and heaved it for 3 free throws
I’m currently listening while at the gym, podcast version would be great 🔥

Yea bro I’d love for you to do it on Spotify. I would like to listen to them while driving and could download on the app.
playing elite dangerous for 6067 hours and listening to these videos.
Didn't even notice the music until you talked about it
I feel like the knicks ceiling is limited without a second 3-level scorer to go alongside Brunson, maybe if they pick someone up in free agency
It will be interesting to see how the Knicks keep up their production throughout the playoffs, whether so many minutes will catch up to them
Watching these highlights again is just reinforcing my belief that if Embiid were to get about 15-20 lbs lighter than he was during these playoffs.

please put this as a podcast. I keep accidentally skipping the video in my pocket on the way home from school
I think the problem is bg music is too loud
yes i would love it on spotify for my work drives, maybe just lower the background music instead of remove it entirely tho. its a good vibes thing
Please do a Spotify/ audio version
Yes podcast version for sure
Keep up the amazing work Jacob!
It’s so hard to tell if it’s injuries from Embiid or just the minutes of a playoff catching up to him.
i watch these videos as videos not pods, but as long as they stay available visually i’m good w whatever.
If it’s prolonged like the way you been doing, doing audio makes sense
OMG Rusty please convert this videos to a podcast format I‘d love that
I would actually prefer to keep watching the videos over listening to a podcast, it's nice to be able to glance at the added clips, and with youtube premium I can turn off my phone screen and still hear the audio anyway. Also I like the background music lol.
Podcast would be great. I often have you in the background while doing something else.
I listen to these videos, so a podcast format would suit me personally Rusty
Exporting the audio as a podcast would be fire.
We knew this Philly team wasn’t deep enough to win the series, the fact that Embiid and Maxey were able to make this series even competitive is a win for them. This does not at all give Embiid a pass for horrible playoff performances in the past but is rather a welcomed improvement
This short made me go and listen to the song 😂😂😂😂
would love these ramblings on Spotify
I’d love it as a podcast
Embiid bought every foul-call he could and had the averages you'd expect of an MVP and back-to-back scoring champ. Tyrese was had 3x games where he was the highest scorer on the floor.
Meanwhile, Tobias Harris laid an egg every single game. If the 76ers don't drop him it's OvOver like a Kendrik diss.
Averages doesn't mean shit when he shit his pants in the 4th.
