Compare this to last playoffs where Thibs only realized he had a bench and started making changes when his team was on the break of elimination

Sixers are damn talented on paper man A healthy Embiid, a well rested PG, Maxey, VJ and Grimes, that’s a championship lineup tho “healthy” is doing a LOT of work here

They would be a championship roster if embiid was in his 2023 or 2024 level and even then the bench would be thin compared to okc or spurs in a series

It’s by far the Knicks best chance to get to the finals this year

Up 7 with 3 min left in game 4 when Tatum goes down and the Knicks end up winning in 6. That’s not as big an accomplishment as you might think.

xebex1778 | Knicks

The Knicks were going up 3-1 and then lost one in Boston game 5. No shame in that

MinesweeperGang

-3 | 3 hours ago

A 7 point lead with 3 min left is not guaranteed. If you wanna say up 9 off the OG dunk and Tatum doesn’t get hurt in another world, up 9 with 3 min left is also not safe in today’s NBA. Not at all.

Losing in Boston with no Tatum when the Knicks have that much of a talented roster is not good. They currently are also having a competitive series against the Hawks which is a terrible look lol. This series should already be over. I’m not convinced on the Knicks at all.

The Knicks were winning that game and even the series, in all likelihood, even if Tatum didn’t go down with the injury.

If Hali doesn’t get hurt in Game 7, I honestly think they would have pulled it off. Hali would have had a legendary game 7, imo.

They’d only be a laughing stock for people who started watching basketball during the middle of this season. A year ago it was all about how their championship window had closed and they should tank instead of be a play-in team. Their gap year has been fine no matter what and the future even brighter either way.

Please show me who said the Celtics with a young Tatum and young brown should be tanking lmao

Most people thought Tatum would be out all year barring a deep playoff push, saying people thought they’d tank is probably extreme though

nonononono11111

Oh man look at anything in this sub starting mid-May last year. You know, when young Tatum tore his Achilles and they had to tear the team apart because of the new CBA. Buncha dummies, I agree.

flaming_burrito_ | Wizards

That adds up with how these teams play. The Knicks can be pretty on and off. They have stretches when they look amazing and are clicking, and stretches where the defense really falls apart and their chemistry is off. Celtics live by the 3 and die by the 3. And the Lakers net rating has been ass all season because they are prone to getting blown out in losses, and a lot of their wins are in the clutch.

I’ll be very surprised if the Knicks not only don’t close out this series in 6, but also don’t blow out the Hawks in Game 6. Feels like they have the Hawks completely figured out.

It’s felt like it too (no matter what Bill Simmons says). Not that the Hawks are a bad team or don’t deserve any credit, but the Knicks have clearly been better while having zero killer instinct or tightness in closing games out.
