We should win this series unless Thibs totally implodes.

Nurse will put Oubre and Batum on Brunson all game with constant help coming from all sides. The others better be ready to shoot.
We should also put Embiid on all pick and rolls and hand offs because he may not want to contest threes from DDV and Brunson off the curls…. And if he does run out, then we have iHart on the roll to find shooters

Two more days of rest for Embiid. Sixers gonna come ready to play. I believe we have the better team and should win the series. Gonna come down to how we defend Embiid/Maxey and how well Thibs uses our bench, especially McBride on Maxey.
~I Believe!~

There’s no way in hell should the Knicks lose this series.

If Hartenstein or Mitch are in the game, Embiid has zero reason to venture outside. Miami could do it with Kevin Love. This appears to be a much better matchup for Joel defensively.sol537 wrote:Nurse will put Oubre and Batum on Brunson all game with constant help coming from all sides.

I expect a lot of drop coverage by Embiid... but then I also expect Brunson and DDV to get plenty of open three's off the pick / hand-off plays because their defenders won't always be able to get over the top of iHart/Mitch to properly contest.
Should be a good series but I'm going with Knicks in 6 or 7.

They're probably going to go with a box and 1 at some point, it's a Nick Nurse staple for when a team only has 1 ball handler.

OG can guard Embiid at times too. The man has tree trunk legs.

Let's go. I feel like Miami and the Bulls would have been tougher matchups for us because of Miami's propensity to injure and Chicago's grit and size.
Sixers is who I wanted us to get.

Raps and Sixers played a series 2 years ago, OG couldn't guard him, putting wings on Embiid is not a good idea.
