He's gotta grow his game this summer for sure. I'm sure he will.

Dont say that. Thats what they thought last time they faced Indy in the semis and than PG/Vogel got them out of there.

I agree. I wouldn't underestimate Indy and Thibs is playing a 7 man rotation. Indy has more depth. NY misses Randle. I'd love NY to win in 4 or 5, but I predict another tough series.

Congrats Knicks fans. I knew this team would be an ECF contender. l love this team, and how it was built.

Going to be huge offseason for the Sixers. They have to find the right team around Embiid

Fantastic series. Brunson proved he's a star

It's bad that I kinda hope the L2M report says that Deuce should've been called for a foul on Buddy there at the end, isn't it?

Hell of a series. Sixers had more heart than I thought. All respect lost for Embiid, but congrats on Maxey cause he is the man and a high character dude.

Apart from the G2 and G3 vitriol, hope both our teams get healthy so we can sweep you next year.

What a damn series. Hats off to philly. I do not like Embiid but that was a dogfight of a battle. My favorite kind of battle. Maxey in particular has some serious heart.

Barring major injury the Celtics were always coming out of the East. Still fun to be had before we get there!

The Nova boys combined for 6 minutes of rest. Tibs has to find one more guy.

Honestly great game to watch. Brunson is so likable as a star player, also Inside the NBA is hilarious.

Feel for him for fighting this series. His production was solid most of the games, just less efficient. Is that because of the injury, or him just not being a playoff performer?

It's a bit of both. But hard to make anymore excuses for this guy. His production fell off drastically every single 4th quarter. That's not injury. That's him just not being able to handle the moment imo.

Embiid is an all time great talent, but the narrative of him as a legit Mvp caliber player/#1 on a contender, I think, is dead.

Takeaway…Embiid is the Harden of big men.
