NBA Playoff Series Will Be Tremendous

[jjgold]

So many great matchups I’m really looking forward to the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers. Can anyone stop Brunson?

no respect for the knicks. Barely favorite in the series over 76ers

Sammy, most of the series are really close first time ever

Anything involving the 76ers is unwatchable. Embid coming down the court looking like he needs an oxygen tank all night isn't quality basketball

Rooting for the Knicks

But not having a second shot-creator could be problematic in a series like this

Feels like a 7 game series

Sixers do have a little "chokey" ness to them though. And I don't think Embiid is 100%

The Sixers are different this year because they no longer have perennial losers Doc Rivers and James Harden on their team. I think this might be the year they break through and get to the Finals. I know it's crazy to think that but the Sixers with Nick Nurse coaching them and Harden off the team are better. This Knicks/Sixers will be a long series though and I expect the Knicks to give the Sixers a run for their money but I think the Sixers find a way to get it done.

Oh it's not crazy that they're better without Harden

Harden is a chubby choker

They could get there, but worry about Embiid's health

Yeah Embiid's health is the only drawback backing them because he could get re injured at any time but realistically I think the only team that can beat Boston in the East is this Sixers team imo. Only if Embiid is completely healthy because if he is I think the Sixers can pose huge matchup problems for Boston. Of course they have to get past the Knicks first and I don't think it's a given even though I picked them to win this series.

Yeah some good points here

East is just not very good at all so wouldn't be surpried if Sixers make a deep run

Boston also has some chokey tendencies and may be a little too reliant on perimeter shooting

And dominates it’s bizarre
