Like what, guarding the 3 point line? That's revolutionary.

Knicks do have very weird in-bound problem. Maybe they're going to pressure more.


I'm waiting for a box and 1 on Brunson, the way he did vs Steph in the 2019 Finals
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

If they wanna give up open threes to guys that can shoot them, that's their problem. But all those highly contested twos over two or three defenders is not going to help.


Sixers honestly didn't have any special plans for Brunson. They guarded him exactly the same way they did in the regular season. Oubre was just a lot more physical. Brunson had plenty of good looks that normally fall. I fully expect him to bounce back game 2. It was nice to see 7 rebounds and 7 assists out of him when he knew he didn't have it going.


There were a few looks early on where I felt he definitely forced it in the face of their coverage, he seemed to be pressing/had the yips. But to your point, he made sure to keep contributing even when the shots weren't there. I expect a 35 point performance in Game 2.

He was definitely rushing and sped up on many plays. He missed shots he normally makes but he definitely was pressing or anxious or whatever. Hopefully he settles down and makes the right plays.

Mitch is keeping Embiid from going too crazy... and Brunson is better than Maxey.

OG > Tobias Harris

Deuce > Lowry

Josh, Donte, Bogey, I Hart > Oubre n Sixers role players.

Coaching is about equal.

We got this. 8-)

Let's take care of home court.
Brunson redemption game.
Embiid seems not healthy enough to be a difference.
OG & Deuce will keep Maxey in check.
Let's go Knickerbockers!!!

Agreed. These guys are definitely way better than the Cavs last year. The other thing is that adjustments are still being made, so we’re gonna see how both teams counter each other’s strategies.

Love the Sixers coach crying about the Knicks getting a few free throws in a second quarter.

Low key trying to manipulate the reps into swallowing their whistles while they hack and whack Brunson and another Knicks players tonight.

Clown has no shame. Openly rooted for Miami against us last year and even left in the 3rd quarter in a game earlier in the season we came back and won. I wish fans would boo him and let him have it.

If the Knicks lose tonight, I agree. If the Knicks go up 2-0, then I think it's essentially over.
