They act like Embiid is healthy and the Knicks are not good. I know everyone in the media saw his inability to move out get any lift. It's not just conditioning he shouldn't be playing.
That said Saturday can't get here fast enough
They view the Knicks like a try hard team with less talent than everyone else who won games because they simply play harder..They dont believe they can raise their level of play anymore than they already have..
They view the Sixers as vastly talented and that no one on the Knicks can guard Embiid or Maxey...They dont look at the actual matchups, they just look and say oh Sixers have Embiid they are better..
This team though you can tell is focused, from the letter from Brunson, to some of the players wearing black hoodies, you can just tell when a team is ready and i will be there saturday night and its going to be a madhouse
We need good shooting from DDV, Deuce and BB (if he can play) to take
and strong with the media. I wouldn’t even say that it’s a “New York” thing because in the 2018 2019 season, the media was full of praise for a pretty mediocre nets team that won 42 games. Frankly, that was sickening to listen to nonstop.
The Knicks could win 10 championships in a row, the media would still find a way to bash them night in and night out.
and he was talking about how he been a fan since 77, talking about how hard this team plays and then saying how they embody this city and he keeps talking and yiu can just see Josh zhart's leg just keep shaking like he is ready to runt hrough a wall as Morgan keeps talking..
As if the Knicks just breezed through the season in excellent health. "Oh, the Sixers' record would have been much better with a healthy Embiid!" And what would the Knicks' record have been been with a healthy Randle, a healthy OG, a healthy Mitch? Sure, none of those guys are on Embiid's level. Does it matter when the Knicks were absolutely wrecking everyone when Randle and OG were playing together?
There is also a lot of convenient amnesia regarding the fact that the Sixers have been total playoff chokers for a decade.
(I feel your pain Larry in Pencil) and was at game 3 in Philly in 1989 when the Knicks swept them (5 game series). I remember after the game Mark Jackson grabbed a broom and did some sweeping, to rub it in. Maybe not super classy, but F Philly.
The idiots in the national media who don't think the Knicks can beat them with Embiid must not have seen them beat the snot out of them in Philly in Jan.

I'm convinced Barkley was anti-Knicks for years because of the brooms, lol.

last year i was at game 3 and it was insanely loud and eitnessed darius Garland poop hinself on the court
I think tomorrow is going to be even louder, i expect the Garden to be shaking
When Bernard King and the Knicks faced off against Bird and Celtics in 84 semi finals the building was literally shaking. I have been to many Knicks games and nothing ever came close. Hopefully this will for you. Of course since the remodel maybe it’s sturdier lol

Josh Hart says this summer, all he and Jalen Brunson thought about is "what we could've done better against Miami to move on...that's what we have to use to fuel us now"

I was at game 1 vs the hawks and it was the first game with fans in a long time and the building was shaking, it was insane and rowdy...Even the players said the floor was shaking
Usual doom and gloom from Michael Kay and the boys.
Will Knicks fans turn on Brunson if he struggles in the postseason?!? What a great way to introduce the postseason talk. The guy who dominated last year, kicked ass with the Mavs, and won two national titles in college is suddenly gonna shrink in big games.

and don’t know how to reel themselves back in. Brought up Randle’s struggles from a few years ago as a comparison. Minutes police stuff with Thibs. All the main talking points.

I had the book about the Rangers 1994 season and the aftermath, and they said that there were three times MSG actually shook - when Willis Reed scored his two buckets in Game 7 of the 1970 Finals, when the Rangers beat the Islanders in the decisive Game 6 in 1979 to knock the Isles out of the playoffs, and when Stephane Matteau scored to go to the Cup Final in 1994. Have to add this as the fourth.
If/when the Knicks finally win a championship, the building will shake so much it might cause an earthquake
how about the other side of it when teams do up minites for their players how the Knicks players can handle it and the other team gets tired? that side is never brought up

I was there for the Matteau game and the Knicks Hawks Game 1 and I can promise you they were nothing alike. Both crowds were loud, but the Matteau 94 game was a decibal level for like ten minutes that was absolute bedlam. The closest I had ever heard it for a Knicks game was Game 6 vs Heat in 97 after the fight in Miami in Game 5. for 20 minutes before the game started the people in the building were just screaming "Pat's a rat" over and over and over. Then they put 9 men one mission etc. It was like a college game with the entire audience being the student section. It was insane. Not sure if it got higher than Matteau, but I distinctly remember a kid sitting in front of me who was about 7 years old hysterically crying and hiding under his seat it was so loud when they played that video.
win or lose game 1 for the Sixers, there is only 1 day in between from game 1 to game 2, do they sit Embiid in game 2 in hopes of him getting a little healthier for game 3 thuraday?
Miami Arena is empty on a Heat winner go home game. Lived there 30 years, biggest front runner fans. It's just as empty as the hole they started out in.... Pathetic.
Don't ever knock KNICKS fans for their passion. Garden will be rocking tomorrow

As of this January 2024 report, the Heat had a sellout streak of 576 games, dating back to 2010.
The lower section with empty seats very visible on TV are wealthy season ticket holders. Lots of real people in the seats, which is evident in the highlights from tonight's game.
Can we agree not to use “Sixers shouldn’t have been a 7th seed” as an excuse?
At present, I think we have a better roster with Embiid at 80%. We should be the favorites.
It took Nurse a half to adjust to Miami’s zone D, let’s see these two coaches go at it.

If Rozier plays in that game or Herro doesnt miss every wide open 3 he got, Heat win by 20..
With Butler hurt they had no one to attsck Embiid and they still were getting wide open looks
Knicks/Sixers & Bucks/Pacers are toss-ups, only series so far with no favorite.

Draft Kings and Fan Duel are legal in NY state. Last I checked, the odds changed after I posted this and it seemed around even, but I bet there's a lot of betting running up to the game and they might change.

This team is locked in

and they have to hide 2 players on defense...

He doesnt watch the Knicks, he watches on national television but he cant sit down and actually talk about the Knicks
Michael J. Fox and Jerry Ferrara know more about the Knicks than SAS.
The idiots in the national media who don't think the Knicks can beat them with Embiid must not have seen them beat the snot out of them in Philly in Jan.
I'm convinced Barkley was anti-Knicks for years because of the brooms, lol.

Could be!
As opposed to all his non-Knick takes?
Let me fix that:
that Wells Fargo will have a bunch of fake fans in the crowd who don't care about the Sixers.
Wells Fargo will have a ton of Knicks fans. Hell I'm contemplating going.
The Garden will be rocking

Btw, I stopped listening to sports debate shows a long, long time ago and have never regretted it.

Cs in 4.
Knicks in 6.
Pacers in 7. I have real doubts if Giannis even suits up.
Magic in 6.
OKC in 6.
Nuggets in 5.
Suns in 6.
Mavs in 7.

The Extender is reffing this one? Oh God.
Embiid is guaranteed to get 15 free throws. Minimum. Scott Foster of all people. Come on man
