He can be… but we don’t have a legit 2nd or even 3rd option


He is your #2 option acting like a #1
He needs to be a Robin to a player like Jokic, LeBron, Luka, Giannis

Knicks to find a way to get Durant from the Suns



That would great but I disagree, I think he is a first option if he had a 2nd or 3rd option to play with

Sometimes I can’t stand this Knicks team. They should’ve ended the series in the last game. They were up big in this game and they blow it. It’s like they want to lose this series.

Imagine the Sixers kept Jimmy instead?! Smh.
Why? We wouldn't have ended up with Maxey if we did.


Decent shot at having a ring though.

If Sixers win this series, it's not inconceivable to see them making it all the way to the Finals. They'll run through the Pacers, especially with Haliburton's form. They'll face the Celtics with KP being 50/50 due to his calf. Everything's aligned for them.

This series is taking a pound of flesh from each team...that's the only downside.

I know BOS won't see either until the ECF but between this and having to run up & down with the Pacers next. These teams are gonna be running on fumes and I think the Celtics are just gonna be sitting there in relatively peak condition.

On one hand, I want the 76ers to lose because of Embiid, Batum and Oubre.

But on the other, seeing Stephen A melt down on national TV would be hilarious.

Can Lowry stop acting like he's never fouled in his entire career?

Its tiring man.

It has to.

That's just all there is to it.

Call as many phantom fouls for Embiid as you like.

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

If Sixers win this game, they win the series for sure.


i won't go that far. Knicks have shown resiliency throughout the year too so i think they'll be fine. It's going to be scary but they can pull off a close G7 win.

This has been one of the best 1st round series in these playoffs.
