We match up a lot better with Miami this year. We play smaller, have OG to throw at Butler and more shooting.

Re: Official Knicks Pre-Playoffs Discussion Thread
We could beat Philly or Miami.
Defense, passing, hustle, heavy doses of Brunson downhill in attack mode… just grit and grind and timely three’s by DDV, Brunson and OG… offensive boards by iHart and Hart.
Running Embiid around the perimeter all game long…

Personally, I'll be very happy if OG can keep Jimmy at 20-21 ppg during the playoff especially if it's an inefficient 21 ppg.

Our key is to lean into his lack of conditioning after being out for so long and attempt to wear him down. Leave him gasping for air and needing to leave the arena on a stretcher and we should be good.
If we end up playing Miami, it comes down to coaching. Outsmart Spoelstra and the dirty "Pat the Rat" Riley tricks he will bring. Focus on JB and Bam and force somebody else to beat us. Defense will win us a series against Miami.
We'll need Mitch for Philly.

Not necessarily. It’s his left wrist, and it was a scope. Unless he’s gonna be a soy boy about it.

Not one other person has reported this which is strange to me. Thibs said everyone practiced today. Its a little bit confusing and im not reacting until we get Katz, Begley, Shams or Woj reporting on if this happened let alone the severity of it

Pretty sure that stat muse site literally just checks if the two teams played eachother. It doesn't go indepth with how he did against OG specifically 1 on 1, etc.

Re: Official Knicks Pre-Playoffs Discussion Thread
Tuning in to Sixers - Heat, they want to play us... but these kids forget and haven't played against the old school defense that we reintroduce to this offense era
We will smother Jimmy he would consider retirement or Embiid he thinks he shouldn't have returned from injury this season, Maxey he forgets he was an All Star

Re: Official Knicks Pre-Playoffs Discussion Thread
Thibs needs to utilize McBride against Maxey if we play the Sixers. McBrides man to man defense and recovery is excellent. I hope Thibs makes the right decisions.
