if knicks have full utility of both mitchell and hartenstein and no one else gets hurt, they beat the sixers handily... it's an awful match up for the sixers... maybe the worst in the entire nba other than boston
The Sixers have struggled against the Knicks this season. I think the Knicks are better off facing them, rather than Miami. I also think the Knicks were fortunate to move up to the second seed and avoid facing Indiana.
The regular season doesn't matter as much, also the Sixers are undefeated since Embiid's return. I still like the Knicks in the series, but this is the worst possible matchup for them.
@@briangriffin391 so wait, the way the 2 teams actually play head to head doesn't matter, but a random streak against WHOEVER does?....get out of here with that logic.... i think what you mean to say is that the actual outcome of the regular season games (the win or the loss) doesn't matter... but how the teams look against each other in those games, how the PLAYERS match up against each other matters more than just about anything else i think the ONLY way sixers win is if embood gets the regular season whistle... and by that i mean the regular season whistle from THE FIRST HALF of the season before the nba decided to stop calling many of the bullshit fouls that are initiated by the offensive player... i don't see any other way they can beat the knicks as the 2 teams stand right now
@notimportant3686 No. It doesn't matter because player management is completely different in the playoffs. And to further add, the Knicks and 76ers have drastically different rosters than their regular season games. And it was a small sample size. I'm still picking the Knicks, but the regular season match up has nothing to do with why I'm picking them.
@@briangriffin391 knicks are tough and sixers have a giant softy named embiid and unless the refs are completely, CRAZY lopsided (which is possible) i don't give sixers much of a chance, embiid will always fail when things get tough
@notimportant3686 Not sure how you can call him soft. Dude is putting up 30 right after surgery. Knicks are tough and won a tough game at home. I agree with that part. Embiid soft is a dumb take.
Knicks in 6 or 7
