The Pacers have better role players than the Sixers and will be a tougher matchup on the perimeter for Hartenstein/Robinson. This is a series that we will need to see some Precious minutes.

And most importantly a series where we cannot play 6-7 men every game and expect to win.

Ah. Yes. It is quite European.

Not a New York thing, right?

Ew

I remember back in the day when dudes sold loosies some of them dusted their joints without telling their customers. Nasty nasty stuff

No Philly packs!


Sadly, the dust and the dip are strong out that way.

Knicks need to win this Pacers series for things to feel meaningful.


This is fair


Nah...we should celebrate. There's more to do, but this was a good win.

This Philly team was pretty good. This is a better team than the Cavs team we beat last year. Cavs and Bucks basically lost games to avoid them. We were missing key personnel. They played dirty, leveraged the refs, etc. Lots of national media, aside from Perkins, down on the Knicks. Knicks fans showed up in their arena and made their ownership buy tickets. Gritty wins all around...tough offensive rebounding. One potential devastating loss, followed by redemption. 40+ minute games for our starters. Close games all around.

Back when Willy Hernan-Gomez was a Knick there was a very brief Free Willy movement :lol:

To this day, there are guys on this board who say "Willy ain't chit" for some reason :D

Everyone calling for Deuce to replace Donte in the starting lineup should be profusely shamed on realgm.

He's not.

He's the #1 player who will do the dirty work that is hardly glamourous.

They held a Sixers team that put up nearly 115 a game to 7 below that number in the series, in the playoffs things get tighter defensively. Indi may have better role players but no one near Embiid(even on 1 leg) or Maxey. Not having to constantly double a big man(hield
Was killing us on the swing pass out of the double) will be huge. I see 5 games, max 6

How about Mitch and picks or Randle and stuff for Embiid in a couple months?
