Sixers DESTROYED In Game 1… But The Knicks Will NOT Shoot Like That Again! #76ers #Sixers #NBA
The Sixers lose to the Knicks 137-98 in Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs 2nd Round. They got smacked from the first quarter. The backups were in during the entire 4th quarter. Joel Embiid had a good start to the game but only finished with 14 points in 25 minutes. Tyrese Maxey struggled mightily against the length of the Knicks and went 3/9 for 13 points with 4 turnovers. Paul George had 17 points on 4 three pointers. But the team defense was non-existent. The Knicks shot a crazy 51% from three point range and 63% from the field. Jalen Brunson led the charge with 35 points on 12/18 from the field. The Sixers need to flush this one and move on. The Knicks lead the series 1-0. #Sixers #76ers #joelembiid #paulgeorge #tyresemaxey #quentingrimes #vjedgecombe #kellyoubrejr #nicknurse #NBA #76ersnews #SixersNews #nbanews #nbashorts #youtubeshorts #shorts #dominickbarlow #andredrummond #justinedwards #knicks #newyorkknicks #jalenbrunson #nbaplayoffs FOLLOW US ON ALL PLATFORMS: -All Of The Philly Take with RB Social Links: https://linktr.ee/phillytakewithrb -Quick Link To Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/phillytakewithrb/ -Quick Link To Twitter: https://twitter.com/RBPhillyTake -Quick Link To Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/phillytakewithrb/ -Quick Link To TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@phillytakewithrb CHECK OUT THE NEW MERCH: https://phillytakewithrb.com/ JOIN THE PHILLY TAKE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/ydFcra538h JOIN CHANNEL MEMBERSHIPS: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ6xo8_BSzZJVYfWEqEt1Gw/join SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF THE SHOW: -Venmo: https://venmo.com/phillytakewithrb -CashApp: https://cash.app/$phillytakewithrb *ROAD TO 55K SUBS*

WILD: Move Over BYU, Texas Tech NIL and Say Hello to West Virginia, Oklahoma State Football Spenders
The 2026 NIL landscape has shifted the balance of power in the Big 12, as Oklahoma State and West Virginia have executed a massive financial pivots to leapfrog established spenders like Texas Tech and BYU. While the Red Raiders and Cougars dominated the early NIL era, the "Pokes" and "Mountaineers" have recently tapped into deep-pocketed alumni networks to create a new tier of spending. Oklahoma State has signaled its "all-in" mentality with an estimated $55 million in collective NIL spending for 2026. This surge was catalyzed by a culture shift in Stillwater; after Mike Gundy famously took a $1 million pay cut to seed NIL funds, the "Pokes with a Purpose" collective saw record-breaking donor participation. This war chest was the primary engine behind the shocking commitment of Audi Crooks, who reportedly commanded a package exceeding $500,000—a figure previously unheard of for a single women’s basketball transfer at OSU. Similarly, West Virginia has utilized the "Country Roads Trust" to reach an $8–$9 million threshold for basketball alone, placing them in the nation's top tier. This investment allowed the Mountaineers to secure elite talent like Sam Leavitt ($4M valuation) and compete directly with Blue Bloods in the portal. By contrast, while Texas Tech and BYU remain "elite" spenders with healthy infrastructures, their growth has stabilized. Oklahoma State and WVU have entered a "hyper-growth" phase, realizing that in the 2026 conference hierarchy, being "flush with cash" is the only way to prevent being left behind in the next round of realignment.
