    yeah, SAS is done he's just a highlight watcher with all of these recent takes and reactions. And a casual Knicks fan too. He should be mad that the Knicks fouled embiid so much, not celebrating the fact that Embiid scored 50 points, 19 of those points were from free throws and the Knicks only lost by 11.
    Knicks are honeslty lucky that Embiid isn't at 100%. If you watch the games embiid is running around the court hurt. And he's still dropping 30+. the knicks don't have anyone big enough to stop Embiid so SAS should be worried these next 2 games.
