Rather just start Deuce over Donte and put OG on Embiid, or start Mitch instead of iHart so we can try to take their hearts out the gate by dominating the offensive glass.

I'm not really worried about Maxey driving - but we can't let him shoot those open 3's!!! :nod:

I feel like they will come out with some fire tonight and we shouldnt see any double digit deficits in the first quarter. Divo should also be more motivated since hes been a bum all series and got benched last game. This could all just be wishful thinking but I got a good feeling we closing this one out tonight.

JB needs a big game from Divo. He has to find a way.

I doubt anyone has paused to realize we have already done better than last year's team.

Who does Mitch guard?

Embiid. If iHart is in there then OG guards Embiid n iHart guards Harris. But if Mitch is in there, put him on Embiid and let him battle him for the boards on both ends (which Embiid will lose cuz he’s got no lift with the knee injury).

We have to get DDV some shots early. He has been too good this season to melt in the playoffs. Just takes one game to get your mojo back.

Seems like having him come off the bench is more effective.

If anything, they need to stop with and sort out all the dumbass careless turnovers first. Gave up too many cheap baskets off turnovers in the first quarter.

As my favourite saying goes, Donte is streakier than a pair of stained undies.

You are correct. He has been too good to just melt in the playoffs now.

Shooters shoot.

Safe to say not one single Knicks fan is going to pause and ponder at any point.

Honestly debating if I should not watch this game, wake up in the morning and check the score.

Only because I legit watch every game so stressed out for the 3 hours and it's just not very fun in the moment.

Imagine how the players feel. Sometimes you gotta just step back a little and realize what we feel as fans they feel 100x more. We give these guys too much $hit when they dont perform but some just cant turn those jitters into adrenaline. Good thing about the Knicks is we got proven winners on the team that have been there and can handle this kinda pressure. Embiid has always been a choke job every playoffs and has a reputation to fade when it really matters.

They got this Knicks fans. Take a deep breath and let the boys do what they do best.

It's an embarrassment to have thousands of tickets unsold and available for a playoff game in a series as intense as this for a franchise like the Sixers.

This shows you’re too identified with the team bro. The playoffs are what it’s all about. Got to be able to enjoy the ups and downs without getting too attached to the outcome, otherwise what are you doing?

Us fans all want the Knicks to win, but we have no control over it. Unless you’re at the game and think you psyche the other team out with screaming or something.

So if they lose it stings a bit sure, but it doesnt mean WE lost or matter much in the grand scheme of things in the world.

/tedtalk.

With that said, our boys will finish the job.
