Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

they can't help themselves. this is going 7. they haven't played a lick of defense since the playoffs started is the concerning thing. Horford could be cooked. how do you lose to this team.

It was so predictable. odd for them to do it on a really good Tatum shooting game but they love to make it hard.

Thanks, Boston, for forcing us to listen to James Harden hype in 2023.

Catching up on the game. Big game from Harden, Melton kept them in the 2nd with all those threes, Maxey spurts and that pick 6 in the end, and Paul Reed doing enough after getting chewed up by teammates. Glad Doc went 8 guys and not playing Harrell was clutch.

For me, they achieved main objective, which was to steal game 1 and make it seem like they really have a chance in this series. Still not sure if Embiid will play game 2. But, it was important to steal a game in Boston. Plus it was a good to win this game before Embiid likely wins the MVP tonight lol.

Jimmy official out for game 2. Jalen and Randle are still game time decisions

[jeebs9]

Will it looks like they are playing

[dubcity]

Knicks at -9.5. Feels like it would take a significant collapse for them to not win this.

Maybe one day someone will explain to me what that means. But yeah the Knicks better win this game

Doubling Randle early. Leaving RJ open twice, hitting twice
