Nurse has been playing around with his non-Embiid minutes rotation and seems to have it figured out. If the Sixers just play even or close to even in the those non-Embiid minutes, the Sixers are about 10 points better than the Knicks.

The Knicks try and muck games up and the Sixers gave it right back to them in game 3. Once you punch a bully in the mouth, they cave. I expect the Sixers to roll in game 4. Take a close one in game 5 and end it in game 6.

Also, I think the Sixers are the more talented team. The Knicks, bless their hearts, play hard and hustle, but they're Jalen Brunson and a bunch of role players. They need a second star to pair with Brunson if they want to be legitimate contenders for a title.


This take is so much funnier today.

Sixers it is... although I'm pulling for you NY.
Lol Suns will win the series just like they sweep them during the regular season with ease and you know it. No way the Sixers will beat Villanova um I mean the Knicks unless this guy was playing and last I check, he's out.

Sixers slim to none and Lakers no chance. Seems like I am the only one who understands match ups.


:lol: :lol: :lol:

I cannot fathom what the Suns had shown in the first 2 games of the series to make someone so confident that not only would they put up a sizable fight (they didn't) but that they would come back and win the series.

I hope you're right, but last time we tried that he just started hitting our guys in the balls and he reinjured Mitch's ankle :-?

Maybe this time he gets the message and no more Knicks are injured before that round 2 match up with Indiana *fingerscrossed*

Brunson: So what are you paid to do?

I believe in Magic to force a game 7 more than the Sixers tbh, but Magic Cavs game 7 if it happens would be a coin toss imo.
