Thibs running his team into the ground playing 6.5 guys 2 nights after a bunch of guys played 50 minutes in OT. Shocker. Knicks are gonna wilt down the stretch.

Right now, with the score the way it is, a slight lead for Philly, I like Nurse over Thibs in making better adjustments in 2nd half.

That was the 1st half lol....we gotta see how the game plays out.

Personally I wouldn't just assume PHI carries this momentum to the end or that Brunson & another player like McBride or Dante don't get going.

Feels like big leads in the first half get evaporate quickly this playoffs.

Yep. They are cooked for the rest of the series. Meanwhile, Nurse is throwing out fresh bodies and the Knicks cannot keep up

Maxey only has two points. That would worry me.

The big question is, if the Knicks do lose this game, how much of their confidence is affected in Game 7 knowing you choked in Game 5 then lost a big lead in Game 6?

They better blowout the Sixers early in that do or die game else the nerves will show late.

It’s a game of runs fellas… a 20pt lead in the 1st at means nothing… both teams will likely go on runs and who ever has the final run will win tonight.

Am I crazy or is it just not really worth doubling anyone in the post? I just hate giving up open 3s. I hated when we doubled Embiid last year in the playoffs and we got burned on 3s.

Why? We wouldn't have ended up with Maxey if we did.
