He learn the KD lesson in 2019. Don’t risk a lower extremely injury in the playoffs. Could make things worse. Not worth it. He’s turning 30 soon. KD was 31 when his injury happen.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Pacers got to the ECF. They are more talented the NY and the with Embiid at around 50% and ailing, hard to see the 76ers getting through another tough save game series. With that said, the Bucks are ASS! Another pathetic first round exit.

Nesmith 2-0 lifetime in playoff series vs Giannis.
Nesmith 1-0 lifetime in playoff series vs Butler.
Nesmith 0-0 lifetime in playoff series vs Tatum.

The man does not lose to elite wings in the East.

Sixers defense is atrocious. Embiid is barely moving out there

Brunson might be the worst player to go drop coverage on.

Sixers getting rocked. So Knicks are our fiercest competition in the East?

This is brutal. Nurse and Morey should both be fired.

The Knicks are so small 1-4 compared to us. I just can’t see us losing 4 games against them. Our perimeter defense is on a completely different universe from this Philly defense.

Knicks small but they outrebounded the Cs bad in their last game.

Cs need to really put in the effort against this NY team.

They were small with OG out/ before OG, not so much now.

Last game isn’t really much of a guide. We had sewn up NBA #1 seed and you could see we were in preservation mode.

Knicks would be a serious opponent, but our energy would be very different to that game.
