So PHI vs NYK in the 2nd round is the real ECF

 

[Kick-Stand]

Jesus Christ Jaylen, if you're gonna miss the wide open shot at least don't knock Embiid out for the next round so the Knicks get a cakewalk to the Finals.

 

[Robz4000]

Either one of these teams is getting smoked by the Knicks tbh.

Yeah hard to see the Knicks not making the Finals

Depending on Embiid's health I got Sixers in 6 tbh. Knicks are too jekyll and hyde imo.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Boston enters a very uncertain future now. What’s the deal with the long-term health of Tatum? Is the window closed?

 

[CGD]

Say whatever you want about Embiid but dudes a warrior. 2-3 weeks out of surgery and knees always getting fucked with all game

Showed lots of heart today. That’s said I still think he plays possum quite a bit as a general matter.

 

[ChrisC21209]

I wanted Boston to win because a New York-Boston series would’ve been more entertaining tbh. Also factor in that Embiid can never stay healthy (as we’re seeing now). Should be a yawner of a series, 4-1 Knicks.

Motherfucker is a gimp already

Brown was trash down the stretch.

 

[Robz4000]

Motherfucker is a gimp already

At this point he'd prolly play through a torn ACL if he had to. Won't get another chance like this to get to the Finals.

 

[Mugen]

some times you absolutely die by the 3 tbh.

 

[100%Duncan]

Celtics vs Sixers is gonna be fun. If Embiid plays, Sixers can upset IMO.

Called it tbh

Embiid probably misses games in the next round. I mean, just look at him right now.

 

[CGD]

Wonder what jalen brown’s gonna cry about now.


No fake MVP run next season too with the real #1 Tatum back.

ONLY reason that mvp chatter was a thing was because of Bill Simmons homersim.

 

[ace3g]

Sixers were 0-18 after trailing 1-3 in series...

 

[Spurminator]

Crazy, Denver and Boston were two of the teams that worried me the most and they're both done.

 

[Robz4000]

Embiid probably misses games in the next round. I mean, just look at him right now.

He needs to play through it if he wants to win a title tbh.

 

[Biggems]

Well, there goes my NBA Finals prediction. Now, the Spurs can't beat the Celtics.

Man, the refs didn't everything they could to get the Celtics to the next round.

Props to Philly

Fair he’s a mercurial type but tonight was badass

 

[90sBum]

Derrick White's skull is insane.

 

[ginobilized]

Nick Nurse deserves some credit here, solid coach. Knicks may be waiting for us in June.

 

[Mugen]

Good for Embiid tbh

 

[Dbreiden83080]

He needs to play through it if he wants to win a title tbh.

If he can be on the court, they can definitely beat the Knicks. But those knees we know how bad they are. He’ll probably come to the arena in a few days with one knee all filled up with fluid and get scratched.

 

[tacosrgood]

Celtics down the stretch offense looked atrocious . Bunch of rushed shots. Maxey finally realized to put the game away

Embiid could barely walk up the court in that 2nd half tbh. That guy can never stay healthy. And Knicks will have HCA. I got Knicks in 6 at most.
