BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAART!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shootin Awe Made You Look

We really gotta figure something out with OBoards…and we need literally some bench production. Buddy or Payne has to give them something

Ain’t no figuring out anything we’re not a good rebounding team. Our only chance is them playing Reed and Embiid together sometimes

 

[<<TheStandard>>]

76ers feel like the better team IMO but there's just so much going against them. Embiid's health, Knicks have a huge edge in offensive rebounding & 76ers transition defense continues to be a problem. Despite that, G1 still came down to Hart hitting clutch 3s & the 76ers bench not showing up.

 

[Ripp]

Brunson has not played well against Philly this yr, theres enough evidence now to prove this, our length is too much

Ayoo... we too close to Harlem for that breh

We gonna lose that battle unfortunately. Even a healthy Embiid is just an average rebounder.

The bench has to contribute. Buddy/Reed/Batum gotta give more.

I dont expect shyt out of Tobias

Maxey will drop 35 That matchup is a wash to me. This was a mid Maxey game too btw, he turned up in the 3rd but was passive too much.

Nurse will adjust.

GG to yall tho

Gg no doubt.

Nurse "will" adjust....Thibs adjusted tonight

When Mitch locks down a hobbled Embiid..... and If Duece starts next game over Dante it's up

 

[Ripp]

Overrating the shyt out Brunson. 76ers matchup perfectly against Brunson.

You're wildin.... when BBB goes off we spinning the block

 

[Fckumeen]

You think that was a good Maxey game

it was a excellent 3rd quarter

 

[firemanBk]

Sixers probably feel good about that loss. Maxey looked like no one on the Knicks can guard him, Embiid can still play and you don’t expect McBride and Hart to both have 20+ points in game 2

Not sure I agree with this
They had a chance to take game 1 on the road
Were leading going into the 4th with all the momentum and still lost
Just like you don't expect Hart and Deuce to perform like that every game, you don't expect Brunson to have his worst game of the season every game too

 

[GunRanger]

Miles was +37

Bench Tobias Harris and replace him with Nicolas batum from now on. And run the Sixers offense through maxey instead of embiid.

Brunson’s going to have a tough series, they blitzed him and took away all his operating room. If some combination of McBride/Hart/DiVincenzo are gonna average 55-60PPG this series, the Knicks should win. I don’t think that’s going to happen

title is nice

I’m willing to even try Cam Payne or KJ. KJ can at least jump and we all know Cam Payne thinks he’s Steph.

 

[UpAndComing]

Knicks were able to eat Embiid fast in Game 1
