Series Thread: 1st round 2) Knicks vs 7) Sixers

[DorianRo]

In their defense, an embiid sixers team is clearly a top two or three team in the league. Hell, I think they are the best but I can't just ignore what the Celtics have done. Tl;Dr version. Philly is a true contender.

Knicks are never contenders which I have never got. Why can these other big markets get all the talent but they never can? I mean they cant get one big superstar to go with Brunson playing in New York City? Either somethings off or they have had a shitty front office for 3 decades

He was never this good, maybe playing time.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Embiid is still not close to 100%. The time he went out was definitely the difference in this game. Knicks did what they were supposed to do tonight

Good game Knicks. They’re fine. Nurse will out coach Thibs through this series. Josh Hart isn’t doing that again. McBride isn’t doing that again. OG isn’t hitting that shot again. Just need one up there in Games 2 or 5. Have to fix the offensive rebounds they gave up.

Key is simply Embiid knee. Hopefully it never stops him from playing a game

They need to close the game better. Knicks night tonight. The others were good at home. Got a nice whistle. The impact of Embiid going out in 2Q when things had already turned led to like a 9-0 close to that quarter. That was a big difference. That said…Knicks closed and Sixers didn’t in the 4th.

Dude needs to sit down and rest until the Olympics and then demand a trade from that dumpster fire city and franchise

I think this is the longest Thibs has gone without losing the team. I wonder if he figured out a balance to his coaching finally.

He’s a really good coach but he can’t adapt. He shot his load tonight. It’s on film and Nurse and his staff will exploit it.

Not the biggest +/- guy but sometimes it can tell the story of a game

The Knicks 3 bench players tonight:

Bogy +27
Robinson +20
Mcbride +37

 

[bksballer89]

Also Tobias Harris 7 points in 31 minutes

Philly should’ve traded for him when they had the chance
