Knicks in 6. Embiid being banged up is the difference.

Embiid at 70% isn't beating a surging Knicks squad. Knicks in 5.

Knicks in 6. I don't think Philly has the defensive personnel to contain Brunson and they will just work harder I think. Unless Melton comes back, only Lowry can really work to disrupt him and that's not enough.
Side note, I watched some of Hart/Brunson's podcast.. Brunson is MAD annoying.. , I don't know if it's just me, but it's like his singular personality trait is to clown on Hart who actually seems pretty chill. Once in a while it can be funny, but he just does it every episode, all episode. Hell of a player though lol

Yup, it's been a minute!
Used to be a common matchup decades ago.
1989 (1st round) NYKs 3-0
1983 (Semi Finals) Philly 4-0...... Sixers went on to win the NBA Finals (Swept Lakers 4-0), rematch, Lakers won the prior season's NBA Finals. 1983, Philly's last NBA title.
1978 (Semi Finals) NYK 4-0
1968 (Semi Finals) Sixers 4-2
Back when 76ers were the Syracuse Nationals....1959. 1954, 1952, 1951, 1950. Syracuse won NBA Title as well, 1955.
Knicks trying to win their 1st NBA title since 1973.

This is such a wild series to pick. Embiid looked terrible tonight, but at the same time if he’s just out of shape due to being injured, he’s got 3 days until Game 1. It could really go either way.

76ers are favored in this series. I'd lean knicks.

I guess I’m saying Knicks in 7. They’re too good with OG to not pick them over a banged up Sixers and Anunoby def looks healthier than Embiid.

I see Knicks -113/Sixers -103. Seems about right.

Why do people keep saying this. He just got 3 days off to play today and looked bad. He played on it. So how does another 3 days off after playing injured means he’ll be better

Knicks in 6. Health is a factor for both sides...the Heat V Sixers game was energetic and close, but didn't see anything there that should worry the Knicks if they keep their form.

Embiid is not injured or out of shape, so I don't understand why people keep saying that. People see him struggling and think he must be hurt or something, but he is ok. He simply performs poorly against proper defensive schemes.
Knicks in 7
