We could just as easily be down 2-1 right now, it took a miracle finish for us to win game 2. The point is that Embiid is definitely capable of replicating these kind of performances, especially since he's starting to look desperate, he's fully aware that this is probably his best chance to make it to the ECF and played like it being dirty. These aren't heroic games from their 2 guys, they're the only teammates this season with multiple 50 point games. I don't know why you're taking them so lightly.
I doubt they suspend him for game 4 too, I'd be shocked if they did, this has been the most entertaining series so far and keeping him out of a Sunday game would kill the ratings.
The homers gonna call you a fake Knicks fan since you’re respecting our opponent and actually know what Embiid and the Sixers are capable of.

I don't get it, this clearly isn't your regular 7 seed, like I would have preferred to drop to 6th and play the bum ass Cavs instead or the Pacers like you said.
Whoever comes out of this series is most likely beating the Pacers or Bucks, so I don't get why people thought the Sixers would be a walk over.
Nobody thought Philly was easy. But some thought they were the favorites over us before this even started. Even when you account for Embiid's absence affecting their record and acknowledging they are not a typical 7th seed team with Embiid on the court, it still doesn't automatically confer on them an implicit advantage over the Knicks.
It is odd to see anyone who watched all or most of the Knicks games this season discount them and call them the underdogs when they overcame their own adversities to achieve 2nd seed.
We still own home court advantage no matter what happens in Philly the next game so anyone continuing to favor Philly has been watching a different Knicks team than I have all season.
