PG: New York Knicks (2-1) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (1-2) Sunday, April 28th 1:00pm EST

[SelbyCobra]

Every game this series could have gone either way at the end, except the one where Philly won by double digits. I can't comprehend this revisionist downplaying of what the Sixers are, especially when the series isn't even over yet.

The front: effective ball denial

But you also need backside help in case the pass does get made. Here that’s precious

Can u front embiid, yes. Can u do it the whole game? Idk bc you’ll be in rotation every possession

One can definitely say of Deuce that he's "Deuce Big Below".

Remember we were also supposed to tank out of the mid season tournament so we didn’t have to play the bucks an extra time unlike the genius 76ers who didn’t get in and got to play the wizards. End result: we are the 2 seed, they are dog crap on the bottom of our shoe. Iron sharpens iron theory proven accurate. Let’s talk about it monk1718

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Not gonna lie. I didn't get good vibes after that 1st qtr. They looked lethargic and Philly looked like they were ready to stomp on our throats early. The refs too but I forgot about that quickly after the 2nd qtr they got right back into it bc of this guy named Brunson. We are so lucky to have a gritty tough player like this guy and not a soft crybaby dirty player like Embiid. That dude is such a disgrace. He clearly can not move and relies on playing on the perimeter, especially yesterday. He also relies on the refs giving him his ticky tack BS fouls like the ones on Hartenstein. It's not even playing basketball sometimes with him. That block by Achiuwa on Embiid was one of most satisfying feelings after what happened in game 3.

Achiuwa really filled in well and didn't skip a beat. Provided all the energy we needed and defense on Embiid as well. This was exactly what we needed without Hartenstein in foul trouble and no Mitch.

Can't say it enough about Brunson, this dude is special. He's the MVP if the award really measured value bc without him we're no where near this good. We are so lucky to finally have a player THIS good.

We got our payback on their turf and took over their arena after all the nonsense in game 3. Now we have to end it at the Garden. When was the last time we won a playoff series on the Garden floor? In 2013 we beat Boston in Boston and lost to Indy. Before that it was multiple first rd exit's. It's gotta go back to 2000 or 2001 right?

Also forgot to mention OG. Yesterday was his best game of the series. His defense on Embiid was tremendous and Achiuwa's as well.

Josh Hart doing Josh Hart things on the offensive glass. What he have, 17 rebounds? Geez. He was awful offensively but I didn't notice as much bc of his offensive boards giving us extra possessions and using more clock. Those things demoralize a defense and we owned them in the 2nd half on the glass. That's what we've done all year too. Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I hope bogie is okay tho, will need his shooting down the road off the bench.

I hope all of the younger fans who have never experienced playoff wins are enjoying this and not taking it for granted. This is what the 90s felt like!

Cherish and appreciate Brunson cause guys like him do not come around often. He is ELITE! To go on the road and drop 39 and 47 after how poorly he shot in the first two games just tells you everything you need to know about him as a player and a competitor.

Acknowledge Thibs cause he coached a masterful game! Hart with a Rodman-like game with 17 rebounds that crushed the souls of the Sixers and didn't even score a single point! And OG and Precious with the lock down defense!

We got a strangle hold up 3-1 but the series is not over. Trust me cause I know from experience. We have to take care of business tomorrow and not give them any hope!

I'm sure it has been said a few times but McBride is everything we wanted Grimes to be. He's so so much more mentally tough than Grimes. If he was 3 inches taller he would be our starting 2.

He’s playing fearless in the playoffs and giving some great minutes off the bench. Tough as nails

McBride plays very physically, possibly because he was also a football player. He's strong in addition to being smart and very talented physically. There are few players on the Knicks who aren't smart. None of them are playing in this series.

Situational awareness is critical if you want to crack Thibs' rotation.

High IQ team defense is beautiful to watch. It's the hallmark of a well prepared, well coached team with quality personnel.

Appreciate this folks. This is top tier basketball played the right way

[FrozenEnvelope]

Hart went 0-7 and Precious 0-5 yet nobody can tell us they weren't key reasons why the Knicks won this game...it's irony or paradox or some bizzarro world stat line thing. It's just weird, no?

Hart had a Dennis Rodman kind of game

Same thing I thought yesterday. Hart was grabbing some insane rebounds. A good player will impact the game without scoring and Hart is just that.

Haven't seen a player do this since Rodman. When a team continuously gives up offensive rebounds, it's like their hearts are being ripped out. It's the most demoralizing play in basketball imho.
