The Sixers legend weighed in on Monday night’s brutal loss.
Now the team heads back home needing a win in Thursday night's Game 3 to avoid going down 3-0 in the series.
What's the best way for Philadelphia to put that brutal loss behind them? 76ers legend Julius Erving explained to"Watch the tape a couple of times and then get over it," Erving told SI, while promoting his work with, a wireless service catered for senior citizens."Get over it while you’re still in the video room and while the coach is right there addressing you and you’re addressing him as you’re sitting there as a unit of one.
Erving also spoke of what he'd like to see from Embiid as a leader, who's not at full strength thanks to a lingering knee injury. "I want to see with his head up and his chest out and come out there, and if he’s only going to play 20 minutes, give it 20 good minutes and let the other guys—they’re getting paid, too— let them do what they’re supposed to do," Erving said."And home should be to their benefit. They should have a little bit more confidence coming home even though the Knicks have all the confidence in the world after winning the first two games.
