New York Knicks’ Josh Hart Shades Philadelphia 76ers Star Joel Embiid’s Series Guarantee: ‘I Don’t Care’

Despite being left completely frustrated by the way the referees officiated Game 2, Embiid still came out with a bold guarantee for this first-round series. According to the reigning NBA MVP, he is confident that the Sixers will be able to get themselves out of this deep hole to eventually win the series:

“We should be 2-0, so yeah, we’re good. We’re gonna win this series, we’re gonna win this,” Embiid said. “We know what we gotta fix. We did a better job today, so we’re gonna fix it. But we’re the better team. We’re gonna keep fighting.”

You just know that the Knicks have other plans.

“I don’t care. They’re not. We’re up 2-0,” Hart said. “When the NBA starts basing the series on what we think, then I would care a little bit more. We’re up 2-0, right now we’re just focused on trying to get our third one.”
