It’s easy to forget how much I hate the Knicks with how irrelevant they have been. Hope Philly pulls this one out.

Edwards will be the face of the nba in 2 years. He’s got the skills and the attitude.

I doubt it, you have to win a lot to be the face of the NBA and I don't know how much he'll do that with SGA/Luka/Wemby around.


They talking that an american needs to be the face. Of course luka, wemby, sga will be the best players for years to come. Ant man will be right there with them.

They have one guy who plays basketball. The rest just run and jump all over the place lol

Philly would beat them in 4-5 if Embiid was on two legs.

Its because the sixers are putting pressure by attacking inside. If we do that, instead of chucking 3’s non stop, the knicks can’t beat us.

Why does Embiid have a right eye tic? Never noticed that before. That related to his knee pain?

Yeah. These try hard teams can run and jump and fly around playing hard asf but eventually you gotta actually play basketball..that’s when the cream rises to the top.

Offensive rebounding is basketball skill and there's no team that does it better.

Honestly a more cerebral game like chess might suit Embiid. There's too much running in basketball.

And yet a lot of Celtic fans are expecting the Cs to make the finals.

If what you say is true, that the Cs would have missed all these shots against the zone, no way Cs make the finals, right?

Brunson played like crap but his team won the playoff game. Media would have you think it was only Tatum where that would happen to.

A Celtics/Knicks ECF would be a grind because of their defence but they can’t keep up with us offensively. They rely too heavily on Brunson who will be cooked by then anyway.

I couldn't watch the games today so I am just checking box scores, but did Buddy Heild get injured? 11 minutes for a 0/0/1 stat line? Rough first playoff game.

Nuggets are SO much better than the Lakers. They will win this game and series easily.

As much as I would like Denver to get upset, I can't bring myself to route for LA. **** LA!
