  1. The knicks deserved to lose this one. Tonight rotation was all off what happen to Brunson 🤷🏿‍♂️

  2. If the Knicks advance (hopefully they don’t pull a doc rivers), this will likely be their hardest series they win, that is until they lose a series. Does that make sense? So they play Indiana then Boston, they may not be tougher than this series. It’s because Philly would have been a 60+ win team with Embiid healthy say he played the whole season. Every game has been close and the Knicks could have easily been swept by now if luck didn’t fall in their favor in the 3 games they won. We may possibly see the shellacking the Knicks do with OG in the lineup in the next two rounds. It just hasn’t happened in this series bc Philly has been super tough. Any other team than the Knicks would have been swept already for sure ain’t gonna lie.

  3. Series depend on if Embiid can get his legs n aggression back. Maxy not gonna hit 4 point plays every time. Less passing more attacking. If he doesn't have the gas or health to do it then it's a wrap

  4. I really hope after all that the sixers don’t lose at home. Have a feeling they will though. What a performance by Maxey ❤ tho
