That year we face the sixers was the best sixer team he had. Can’t believe they let Jimmy go

Need an Embiid shot walking back to the locker room in tears. A tradition like no other.

[WaltFrazier]

OG vs Pascal.

Precious gonna lock Pascal up too.

This will be a good test for Pascal...

Lots of big men to deal with. If Haliburton doesn’t step up the Pacers are in trouble.

Finesse team vs gritty defensive team. Great contrast for a series. Knicks showed so much heart after going down 10 in the third . Not sure if Pacers have that kind of toughness but we'll see.

Should be much cleaner ball without Embiid flailing and Kyle's sneaky tricks and Nick whining.

This win is really a championship for Knicks fans lmao. Back to reality in round 2 pacers in 5.

Pacers are not winning and especially not in 5.

Knix are the worst 2 seed in nba history

The Sixers with a healthy Embiid are much better than the Pacers. Christ the Pacers just lost to the Bucks a few nights ago without both Giannis and Lillard. They haven’t looked convincing all year.

Jimmy left on his own I thought.

They had as many injuries as anyone, and still got 2nd over the other East teams who were also injured. With Randle they could have been a clear second anyway the way they looked all January

Then what does that say about the teams who finished below them? lol.

[bballsparkin]

You have to wonder how much of it is injury related or if Embiid is just a bad playoff performer. He disappeared when the team needed him most. He’s still never been to an ECF.

Embiid is legit. The problem is health and in between his ears. Hard to let his health aspect slide when he does dirty plays and questionable off the court comments. For lack of a better description.

Brunson had his fair share of tricks as well. But if they aren’t going to call it, you can’t blame him for continuing to do it. Smart basketball on his part.

[C_Money]

If the depleted Knicks just beat a fully healthy Sixers, they sure as hell aren’t losing to the Pacers of all teams lol.

[WaltFrazier]

The last few minutes are going to shield Maxey from a lot of criticism that he rightly deserve because he was an absolute double agent this game. Embiid showed up and ran out of gas a bit at the end again, but he had his best game on the D end and carried the O. The L is on Maxey

They really forced him left and took his threes away early. He had a magnificent series until this game though, he's a great player

Kyle's tricks are pushing, holding, moving screens. Brunson's tricks are basketball moves off the dribble.

I mean Kyle now. Great, skilled player as a Raptor

They had him doing long, looping drives into the paint and that's where he ended up running into OG who has been a perfectly serviceable roamer. Maxey's decision making in space was just poor against a defense looking for him to make passing decisions.

[Basketball_Jones]

Maxey finally looked human tonight. Really poor decisions forcing layups. I guess he felt he could do no wrong after last game. Credit Thibs and Knicks for the strong challenges at the basket on him.

Legit? If he is a true MVP player, at some point he needs to at least get to the East finals.

Very happy to see the Knicks knock out Philly.

Legit for a hobbled player. So ya, not legit.

[Darkseid]

Rooting for the Knicks because OG is on that team.

He played great. Sick dunk.

Hope he gets paid well.
