Would love to see the Knicks advance, but likely going to be Philly in 6

SIXers

This is a very tough series. Knicks dominated the season series but Embiid only played once, blown out when he did play but before the acquisitions of Hield and the other guys.

I gotta go with the home team here. So I got Knicks in 7

Oh Thank God!

Yeah I'm the problem. You always pick the Sixers and get bounced every year

If Embiid is healthy Sixers in 6. Embiid looked dead in the water late in the last game ....and then hit big shot after big shot and was a monster on the boards. The guy is a beast

I can't believe I'm saying this...

Sixers fans scared to death when they laugh at every pick for the Knicks

Yeah my life is gonna be over if the Sixers fail in the playoffs. I don’t know what I’d do. Sports disappointment is major uncharted territory for me.

Vegas has the 7th seeded Sixers installed as the favorite for the series. Don’t see that every day.

What's interesting (to me) is... sure, the Knicks are down Julius Randle.

But Randle is a very polarizing "star". While he gets numbers... there's a fair argument to be made that he's kind of a losing player overall...

... therefore, being without him can potentially be 'addition by subtraction' for the Knicks... arguably.

But sure: Philly got Embiid back... so that explains things more than anything else.

With Embiid in the line up they were something like 30-8 so I don't find that surprising. This isn't you're average 7th seed. I was actually expecting it.

Antifreeze?

Antifreeze?

As a Jet fan I drank so much antifreeze I'm immune to it. It tastes a bit like sweet tea
