Knicks in 6

 

[O.G.]

Lack of a bench and rebounding is gonna be an issue for Philly this series.

 

[AZTG]

Joel already begging for fans to come to the game in Philly cause it feels like MSG East in there.

Lmaooo.

Its over.

Knicks 6

Let's go Philly

[Freeman]

We'll see who the knicks try to hide Brunson on defensively and how many games embiid misses.

 

[AZTG]

Knicks have multiple paths to winning but the main one imo is KAT got to hit his threes and force Joel out the paint.

I know we always want KAT in the post, and we will need to see that too, but I think more KAT initiating offense at the perimeter and hitting shots and then finding cutters will be a big part. Those shots got to go in though.

The odds the Sixers make the conf finals are non existent

Expect OG on biid for parts of this series. I'm more curious what's the approach for Maexy and Edgecome

 

[Northside7]

Knicks in 7 but probably 6.

 

[Mister Breeze]

Squad in 6. MSG ain't hard to win in.

Embiid gonna get everyone in foul trouble.

Gonna be a fun ass series though

If this the case why your leader begging for support from the home fans? Lmaooo.

Shit sad

 

[AZTG]

As far as a fun series, imo this is it. I feel like a sixers Knicks series is much more exciting than a Celtics Knicks series. I know this thread gonna be popping

 

[AZTG]

I think one thing we all can agree on is that Nick Nurse is a better coach than Mike Brown. I dont think Nick Nurse is significantly better and I don't think Mike Brown is necessarily a bad coach, but I do think Nick Nurse gonna be a step faster at making adjustments

Better than the heats

This will decide the series...he can't cover Maxey or Edgecombe

It can potentially win phi a game or 2. But not sure it matters if embiid can't play at least 5-6 games. That will be the x factor in the playoffs for Philly going forward.
