they're pretty evenly matched. it's why every game was close.

Are we though. We have Brunson and a bunch of tryhards. We won with Donte a cast off from GS, jHart who we got for scraps, OG is nice, but isn't much on offense. And 2 C who combined would make 1 really good C.

They have embiid who, while injured, is still a top 3 player and Maxey who is on the cusp of stardom. And some nice role players.

I'm honestly surprised we won this series. Thibs really deserves his for getting these guys to play at their peek.

This should forever haunt Kenny Smith

New York vs. Everybody is actually a fair fight.

I’ll box six of yall on my own right now.

If it was fairly reffed I think we consistently have upper hand

we did kind of steal game 2

Bro if embiid is reffed like any other player , even a star none of the games would be close …

They were all salty that the knicks won. It was so obvious.
Well thanks to Brunson and a new front office -they better get use to it.

Except for Ernie…

Nice adjustment there!

Good test for us!

Favorite play was jHart not wanting to shoot that late 3 but realizing he was too open and letting it rip. Bang

Knicks Bench 5 pts

Sixers Bench 42 pts

The Sixers may have been the toughest team we could have drawn this early

While I'm not going to consider any team "easier" I feel like our ability to impose ourselves physically on a team should improve with Indy.

They may have some crazy scoring stretches or even blow us out in a particular game with their offense, but it feels like we can match up and also score more easily against them than vs. Philly

Philly is a gritty team that knows how to play ugly. Not so sure about Indy's ability to do that

It's a different look. I think the Knicks can keep up with the up-tempo and lock down when they need to, but Thibs have to open up the rotation to 8 or 9.

To put this season into some kind of perspective, this first round series win vs. Philly is a greater accomplishment than our first round win vs. the Cavs last year

We could have this conversation now but randles importance is still up for debate to too many on this board.

Congrats Knicks fans! As a raps fan looking forward to OG vs Siakam and Toppin vs Thibs? lol.

I want to see Brunson light up the overrated Haliburton.

Like I’ve seen star treatment but embiids treatment is unparalleled…if Jokic got embiids treatment he would be GOAT and I am not exaggerating….greatest ever

Glad to oblige

May your legacy continue to burn to ashes you truly bad and horrible person

You will forever be remembered as a dirty weasel who injures and maim his opponents, but can never bring home the bacon

P.S. You're a fcking bitch player with no sportsmanship, no integrity, no pride in playing right.

P.P.S. You smell like a fistful of fermented underwear worn by trolls with crotch rot

Glad we’re on the same page for once. Glad to oblige.

they obviously have a better top 2 but we might have the next 5 best players. we just have harder workers too. they can rebuild their roster this summer though. next year they might fix that problem.

I think that we’re better than the Pacers.
