The Philadelphia 76ers lost at home in Game 4 against the New York Knicks, 97–92, though, it didn't always feel like a home game for the Sixers.

Knicks fans effectively took over Wells Fargo Center on Sunday as the team took a 3–1 series lead over Philadelphia, and star center Joel Embiid wasn't too happy with the large contingent of New York jerseys in the crowd.

After the game, Embiid voiced his frustration over the situation and called it "disappointing" to see so many away fans pumping up the volume at a 76ers home game.

"Disappointing," said Embiid to reporters after the Game 4 loss. "I love our fans. I think it's unfortunate. I'm not calling them out, but it is disappointing. Obviously, we got a lot of Knicks fans and they're down the road, but I've never seen it. I've been here 10 years.”

If you would've handled your business, you could've hit em with this:

Sounds like a lot of the Philly fans sold their tickets at a mark up on the secondary market

Maybe he should take a look in the mirror. He's the common denominator.

Embiid has made it all about him since day one. Philly has been essentially stuck with Embiid and are forced to build around and appease him because there's simply no other options. He had Harden, Jimmy Butler, good shooters and he still can't get it done. He's not really a leader. He couldn't work to get Ben Simmons right. He's never healthy for a full season. He's never played more than 68 games every in his career and he's only played more than 60 games 4 times. I'm done with Embiid. Been done.

It will always be MSG 2.0

Sixers are a wannabe Knicks without the prestige.

So they should part ways with him.

I wonder what the nba would look like if they had hooliganism fans like they got in soccer

Like if Philly fans having street brawls with all the Knick fans who come to Philly

Tell that nikka to grab a rebound before he starts crying about the crowd.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

He thought today was bad, wait until Tuesday when the fans really let his b*tch ass have it for his dirty plays.

MSG South

Nah, that’s Atlanta.

Philly is MSG South Jersey

In Europe they don't have sticks like we do here so it would be ugly quick
