Game Thread: New York Knicks (1-0) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (0-1) Monday, April 22nd 7:30pm

Thank God for Josh Hart!

I love Brunson but when he is struggling he can become obsessed with getting himself going. I would like to see him become more of a facilitator in games like these. We are running an 8 man rotation. With Hart playing the way he is the team only has 2 non-shooters in Mitch and iHart. Create looks for the other guys and stop forcing the issue.

Don't like IHart defending Embiid.

It’s no bueno. Mitch does a much better job.

[E86]

Our defense is actually insane.

Don’t feel like we playing our best yet Philly can’t miss and still can’t blow us out.

That's what it feels like, but that's not what the numbers say.

[TKKnicks1]

I'm a little weary that Hart can keep this shooting up all game but he did prove me wrong last game. We definitely need it.

Start Deuce n Mitch in the 3rd. Bring Donte n iHart off the bench

Mitch yeah but I’m starting Brunson in the 2nd half again to see if he can pick it up if not deuce needs to come in immediately.

I mean Deuce in for Donte… so run Brunson/Deuce/Hart/OG/Mitch to start…. Donte/Boj/iHart off the bench

[Besart19]

We would murder them with Anunoby at five... he is the best option also for any of their guards of the switch... you cant leave Hart or Mitch guarding Maxey when he is attacking the rim

Offensive rebounds are going to be critical if we keep missing

You make runs and make opp get into foul trouble by playing small... go back with a traditional lineup if needed only in the last 5 mins

Yea I just realized that. My bad.

Finally using Brunson as a creator

[GettinitDone]

IHart unleashed

[Monk1718]

Let’s keep talking bad about shart so he can dunk again

[Im Coming Home]

Brooooo we had Lowry on Brunson and then Maxey on Brunson, why did we give them a free switch back to Oubre on him.

Don't like IHart defending Embiid.

It’s no bueno. Mitch does a much better job.

Yes. But it appears Mitch is not 100% yet. As matter of fact he is 70% or less.

[Guano]

Our defense is actually insane.

That's what it feels like, but that's not what the numbers say.

jHart is also playing like prime Barkley which is keeping us in this game.

Lock in guys come on

[runnyc]

Philly getting their hands on a lot of balls

[drekwins]

Brunson is at-fault for that possession. He held the ball until 7 seconds were left on the shot clock. He needs to resist becoming a ball-stopper.

[Iron Mantis]

OG Kawhi lite

[F N 11]

Here we go boys

[F N 11]

That little touch?

[Iron Mantis]

Embiid is a doofy flopper . Any injury he gets it's his own fault.
