Big sigh of relief. We will get revenge on those cucks in Miami another time when we have a better team but glad and confident it's going to be the Sixers. It won't be easy but we will win that series.

They’re going to put Oubre and Batum on Brunson with constant help… our others better be ready to knock down threes…

we couldn't ask for a better matchup imo.


indiana schematically was bad for us
Miami had a great gameplan that took brunson out of the game
Philly has no bench and we have 2 7 footers to defend.
thibs had the correct game plan vs Embiid earlier in the year in letting him shoot jumpers and not crowding him and letting him initiate contact to draw fouls




Embiid cannot move and is going to be put in deep drop coverage every play


brunson is gonna have that three off the pnr open every single time until Embiid is out of the game

thibs can play his short bench because they have no bench

bojan wont be asked to guard speed on the outside vs Harris or batum

McBride will certainly see a lot of extra minutes to slow down maxey

we have 12 fouls to use between mitch and ihart

Defensive players and Nurse tell you it won't be easy and Embiid started to play well ... Maxey will come alive. Ain't easy.

No or having to deal with stretch center is in Knicks favor.

We just can’t fear Embiid on layups

He's gonna cook them.

Dealing with Embiid on the perimeter could be tough.

I think the Heat showed what to do. Just put a guard on him out there and let your big stay in the paint.

Precious could even be perfect for this at PF.


Precious and OG could be huge

You give them way too much credit. And give us too little. They looked very MID, we would have pulverized them.
