A win wouldn't completely surprise me, but I'm expecting the Sixers to play a close game and have their chances. Then it comes down to executing on offense, making some shots, and not getting killed on the boards again.

I don't know how to stop it, but they'd have a chance if they could stop getting killed on the glass.

The other silver lining is BBall's contract becoming unguaranteed. Love BBall, but they really could use that money to sign a rim protector or a more impactful player.Arsenal wrote:Either we win, or we never have to watch The Contract in a Sixers uniform again.

THE SILVER LINING
I agree BBall's contract going unguaranteed is big. We can keep him, guarantee a portion or all of his deal to use him in trade, or cut him outright.
E.g. I could see us trading him with one or more picks for a good rotation player (Caruso?) where he provides some positive value to reduce the trade cost. And if he doesn't have positive value we can just cut him and use the cap space instead.
Gives us major flexibility.

I'd be pretty shocked if we were competitive. The guys are all playing on expiring contracts except Embiid and Maxey and are all in body preservation and beach mode. The Knicks will play hard because they know we are the more talented team and don't really want a game 6 on the road to create any sense of internal doubt and give the Sixers some daylight.
All the makings of a 25+ point beatdown.

Maxey needs to learn to twerk on his defender for calls sadly

more of those catch and shoot middies for Biid imo...seems like we can get that anytime we want.,..just got to tell the big dope to shoot asap and stop letting the defense set.
I don't like Biid's offensive approach tonight...hopefully its him trying to get others going or saving himself for the 4th or some ****
Makes it super easy for his detractors rn

Embiid needs to just take midrange shots at this point unfortunately. His drives are too predictable at this point. Kinda sad after he was the dream shake guy who looked like he was going to show off all these different post moves. Now he’s driving in the lane and getting volleyball spiked by the help defender.

Imagine having a lineup of players that can all defend ,pass , rebound and step into a open shot. The Knicks are legit, just missing a Robin for Brunson . They should trade their injured PF.

Embiid is moving around very badly, they must've not shot him up before the game

The "**** Embiid" chants are very try hard and corny. Typical.
