Their speed up and down will be a problem but this is the playoffs and if anyone can slow it them down, we can.
Playoff time and the game usually slows down. A messed up Bucks team held them under 100 twice. If we can hold them under 110 points or so, we should be ok.

OG will probably be on Siakam and Deuce/DDV will be on Hali. I like both matchups. Maybe OG at times on Hali.
I wonder if Precious would do the best on Turner? Mitch not so good on the outside but Turner ain’t quick. IHart might do ok on him.

Interesting matchup.


It depends a lot on whether we can impose our offensive rebounding on them. They’re not a great rebounding team - if they’re forced to throw multiple people at the boards and box them out, they can’t run as well.

it would never happen but I’d love OG in hali ,( hali is much bigger and not nearly as fast as Maxey) and precious on Siakam

He mentions how Embiid was playing tired and injured whenever the Sixers lost in the series, but whenever the Sixers won in the series the injuries were a non factor. What must the Knicks do to win this guy over?

Ignore him, stop giving him attention and clicks, and stop caring what he says. Then he'll do everything he can to win us over.

I agree and hope (and think) Precious gets minutes. As the previous poster said, impose our offensive rebounding on them.
And some good matchups, hope Thibs opens things up like earlier last series.

The utter despair of every Sixers fan inside that building at that moment must have been darker then the hole between Embiid's buttcheeks

I appreciate that trash talk though. He's a great player and that makes the game fun.

Just stop trying to hurt our dudes.

So the pacers will either send a couple guys to crash the boards to not get mauled all game(prob still won’t work) and won’t be able to run OR they will try to run and get obliterated on the boards, either way I don’t see this going longer then 5-6
