One positive I see for the Knicks is that their identity is the Sixers' weakness at times. Hustle, rebounding, physical. Sixers are more talented but they go through stretches where they lack alot of effort

Sixers are more talented offensively easily. But the Knicks are like 29th in pace. They do have a possibility to slow the game down and make it a physical series and Embiid's and Maxey's ppg averages might dip against them. And the Knicks have the better point guard who can execute down the stretch

I'm going Knicks in 7.

I think this will be a very back-and-forth type of series and I feel like both teams are pretty much equal.

I don't think Embiid, especially hobbled gives the Sixers that much of an edge over New York. I think the reason some people are picking Philly is due to the belief that Joel will revert to his early season form but I think after that injury we're not going to see that same Embiid until next season as I think he'll be playing it a bit safe for now.

The key player for the Sixers isn't Embiid but rather Maxey...after Harden departed we've seen him take off and be that definitive #2 option (#1 when Joel was out) so now we're going to see what he's made of because the last two postseasons he was in Harden's shadow.
