NBA Season/Playoffs 2025-26

I have no doubt whatsoever that the Sixers will turn back into the sixers for this series. They won't make 3s like they did, embiid will get hurt and George will be the real George.

Embiid told reporters that he got some extra motivation from some comments that Payton Pritchard made ahead of Game 3.

Obviously I was 0-3 in Game 7s, so I just wanted to bring the energy, Embiid said. But it does also help when I saw [Pritchard], he said they didn?t care if I was playing or not and they hadn?t even adjusted or had sort of game-plan around me.

So, I think it helps when the other team doesn?t worry about you  it helps you have better games, so I thank [Pritchard] for that.

Guys sure talk a lot of crap but play like crap...stay humbled Pritchard. Same with Brown.

Given what I've seen in the first round I fully expect the NBA Finals to be Oklahoma City Thunder vs New York Knicks.

After a shaky start the Knicks have been very impressive (Anunoby and Towns have been phenomenal) and I believe that will be enough to beat the 76ers. They would definitely beat the Pistons in a ECF, but maybe the Cavs can put a fight as they should.

Whoever wins the Spurs-Thunder WCF wins the Finals, period.

I agree. Will be rooting for the Spurs.

I really hope so but the Thunder did struggle with the Pacers last year so I do not think it?s as guaranteed as others feel. Just do not want the Lakers or Knicks to win it all.

[Phantom255x]

While the Knicks are 6-13 from 3, they've only taken 13 of them near halftime and are 19-25 hitting the twos. Idk... almost like the C's should have done that instead of jacking up 45+ a game 

[Phantom255x]

If Tatum was gonna miss time this series, I think NY would have won anyways. Also, KAT and Robinson can at least neutralize and go toe-to-toe with Embiid better than our frontcourt could, and those two would have provided massive problems as is. Oh well

[SparzWizard]

Wow. Knicks waxing the 76ers.

But that's what the Celtics also did in Game 1 and we got beat in 7

[Who]

31pt lead in Q1 for NY.

NY still red-hot from the end of the last series. They are shooting 68% FG and 60% from 3 (13-22). That makes them 25-34 from 2pt range.

Can't keep up with a team when they are shooting like this. This one is a write off for Philly.

[Goldstar88]

Knicks are killing the 76ers. Wow

[Larry for 3]

Total embarrassing loss in G7 but I?d take that loss over getting killed by the Knicks. Can?t take those fake celebrity fans. As bad maybe worse than the Laker fans.

[SparzWizard]

Now that's a laugh  OKC gonna bring out the brooms

[SparzWizard]

Did the NBA really mess up and scheduled two Semifinals games to overlap at the same time

SAS/MIN game going on the same time as NYK/PHI
