Needed this one in exactly this fashion! Now let's outwork them one more time to maximize this season! Ideally on Friday. Let's hand them their first home loss of the playoffs. Hoping for Brunson to control one more game to get us to the ECF. Love it that Burks stayed ready. Next man up working to t...

I think Thibs can find a way to match up with thier backcourt that way....

Our three starters at 1-3 outscored Indiana's 1-3 (including McDonnell and Sheppard off the bench) by 92-55. I would say we did well in the backcourt match-up.

Just for fun:

First. Only. Ever.

As I look at this roster idk how much we can even adjust. Precious could definitely get more minutes but then you're taking out Mitch. I'm sure that'll make some people here happy but it didn't really solve for expanding the rotation. We could go big and actually play Precious at PF but I'll admit,...

Doesn't matter if your shooting splits are 54, 48 and 85% as a team. A lack of bench scoring is only worrisome, if the guys brick their time on the floor and drag you down. Precious and Deuce should be able to score more the rest of the series though. Just had a tough few minutes in the opener which...

Tough luck. Hang in there big fella! The good news, if I read it right: Mitch just needs to rest this injury. So thanks for trying despite the first injury being called season-ending already and helping against Embiid. Next man up will have to do it against the Pacers. Luckily we still have Precious...

I like that the game was close and we won. Should keep the focus up for game two and give us a better chance to build a 2-0 lead. Pacers are tough to control, but we did a great job against their defense, shooting great numbers from all angles. Fantastic game by our Nova trio. Don't like such offens...

I think we are the better team and we have experience on our side as well. Let's take the lead from the get go. Knicks by 14! After five of six games were extremely close in the first round, I would welcome a double digit win to start this one off. Don't expect it, but would enjoy this tremendously.

I have no idea. Yet. I don't like the match-up. They have their two stars healthy and available and good depth while playing a polar opposite style. We need to be able to run and gun with them and that's usually not our forte. But I'll enjoy the first round win now and start worrying about the next...

After Game 1, and Game 2 wins without Brunson scoring, I said Knicks in 4!" My schedule had me miss a few of the Knicks first round games, where I wouldn't be able to comment on the series. We only played Precious in 2 games out of 6 games. I hope we don't do that against the Pacers. In Game 6...

Welcome to the board! There is no ideal playoff path for us though. Not with being down Randle and now Bogdanovic. A few thoughts: 1) no team in the East will be a challenge for the Celtics. They will go to the Finals this year. 2) the rest of the field is unpredictable because of the injuries to Ra...

Offensively, I think we will be able to slow it down as usual most of the times, but there likely will be back and forth segments where we will miss firepower when Indy starts to run. I hope that Burks will initially fill in for Bogdanovic and we will see Brunson/McBride/DiVo together at times. Indy...

Should trade Randle for depth. they wont but they should. hart and og have stepped up on offense and randle's scoring is not needed in exchange for their defense and rebounding. It is. Big time. We can make the ECF without him this year, but we would still be a much bigger challenge for anyone with...

Thanks spree. I’ll look into this. its new to me. Good management to me is calling timely timeouts, drawing plays during huddles that are not just iso and knowing when to intentionally foul or not in the last remaining clutch minutes. win or lose. Max, here is an interesting stat from the game 6 ga...

Listening to the guys send on vacation is fun:

Mitch plays good defense on Embiid. That’s something. Ihart on the other hand doesn’t. He’s too small and Joel can shoot over the top. For the life of me, I can’t understand why we didn’t see Precious at PF with OG guarding Embiid. In game 4 they went half a quarter without scoring a fg against tha...

Our leader before the game: "When you have an opportunity to do (finish a series), you gotta take advantage of it. Clearly we didn’t do that (in Game 5),” Brunson said prior to the game. “But for us, it’s all about how can you respond in this situation tonight? “You can be upset about it, you c...

Final score of the series after six games: Knicks 650, 76ers 649.

Yeah, his handle is too high and he is so lose with the basketball. But on a straight line? Nasty if he can get to the cup!
