BRING ON THE SIXERS! WE ARE GOING TO ANNILIATE THEM! KNICKS IN 5!

Sergio nice change of pace You was crapping in your panties the other day

cHeat give me the creeps.

Embid is great but will he get healthy playing against us ?

He looked better as the game went on but we will beat them. The Villanova Knicks trio playing at home in Philly is going to be huge imo.

Oh yeah

This about sums it up for me

You might get your chance if they upset the C's like last year.

Well, the bright side is that the Heat are bound to injure a player or two on the Celtics if they don’t upset them in the first round. Strangely, the Celtics (the first seed) gets a bit screwed with the play in tournament because they won’t know their opponent til Friday night.

We just have to make sure Lowry doesn’t take out Brunson.

I think the Sixers are a more predictable team - and that plays into Thibs’ preparation. Were among only a few teams in the NBA that has the quality bigs to defend Embiid man to man.

Someone other than Brunson will have to take on the scoring load. I reckon we can get away with 12-18ppg each from Devo, Hart, Anuoby, and McBride. That’s our game, right?

What's the furthest the Embid Sixers have gone in the playoffs ? Heck we have Shake Milton on the team who previously was a key rotation player on the Sixers, could be be useful in practice for our team with insights ?

The certainty the Knicks could at least cling to was that they had an opponent after two days of practice with no ability to focus in on one opponent. Thibodeau turned on the film Wednesday in Greenburgh as he continued to prep his team for Saturday’s playoff opener, but the preparation was a double feature — showing the Knicks a sampling of both the Heat and the 76ers.

The Knicks worked through some rudimentary study of both possible opponents. But the work was mostly on their own play, cleaning up mistakes and fixing holes in their game.

And while they began their homework on the opponent, there was no preference for either team to advance.

Thibodeau won’t hand out playbooks for the series until Thursday morning and distribute what players have described as similar to huge college textbooks. And when he does give them their homework, he said, like in school, a pop quiz may be coming.

“Yeah, we pop them. I have a few targets in mind,” Thibodeau said. And if they don’t have the answers? “Fine. Suspend. Not start. Usually this time of year the focus is great. Knowing your opponent better than they know you is such an important part of winning. So when they get here, you understand why.”

“He hasn’t quizzed me,” Josh Hart said. “I’d probably fail. Nah, I might go home and study a little bit today. He’s giving us the keys to the test tomorrow so we’ll see.”

The Knicks had not only recorded three wins in four games against Philadelphia, but dominated them in the one game that Embiid was a part of, winning by 36 points in Philadelphia in January. And while nothing is the same — the Knicks had Julius Randle in that game (although he was 1-for-11 shooting in the game) and were in just their third game with OG Anunoby — the Knicks then beat them by 14 without Randle or Anunoby before splitting a back-to-back set, losing by six and then winning by 27.

this is good content

I def wanted the Heat but seeing what weird mix of players Phili is and just how not good they are beyond their big 2 I think we are in a great spot. This version of Embiid they are running out there is not gonna get fixed in these next 2 weeks. He looks worse than Mitch. My god he's moving like the tin man

Do not be surprised if Chi beat Miami which will just be so great. Phuck them

Jimmy gets hurt and we don't get him?

Mrs. Nalod: Who do you want to win?
Me: Neither.
Mrs Nalod: Heat?
Me: I been saying they fucking zombies. They don't die. They get up. Turn your back, they pop up like a bad movie.
Literally 5 min later.......
Mrs Nalod: Ouch, that Butler on the floor, is he hurt?
Me: yeah, looks bad. Really bad!
Mrs Nalod: He taking the foul shots?
Me: if not, he is out of game. He'll be back, they don't die!!!!
Miami goes on a run and gets a lead after..........

Personally, Im good with philly. They old. horford, Batum, lowrey and embiid who looks old these days.
I respect them though and expect knicks to win.

Not for nothing but Knicks have same underling qualities. Knicks on upswing, Miami headed in wrong direction.
