Assuming the Knicks get to the second round who do they match up with the best?
Sixers, Nets or Bucks?
I'm thinking Sixers might be their best hope?
Bucks. Nets we matchup ok with If KD sits out with vagina soreness again AND we stop playing Elf for 35 minutes per night. Elf’s defense on Kyrie is nauseatingly bad
I don’t want the Nets immediately, as I think they’ll be motivated to embarrass us...
I’m going to say Bucks. We beat them before and I think we could play them at least competitively.
Part of me is tempted to say Sixers, however, I think we usually have an advantage at center and that clearly is not the case with Philly
The Bucks, definitely. (though with 8 games left, if we hit a rough patch, I think we could beat them in the first round)
I think this season is a potentially a special opportunity to make it to the finals out of the east. The best teams have been banged up - and any time you take away a top-3 player on a team from the lineup, it's going to cause ripples down the lineup. If we face the Nets, what are the odds we'd have to deal with KD/Kyrie/Harden at the same time? And as the playoffs go on, who doesn't think Embiid knees will act up? And Giannis has broken down after trying to elevate his game again after 2 MVP-quality years.
