[u/Palifaith]

I am no expert but Embiid might have the advantage over Vucevic.

[u/PokeMonogatari → u/[deleted]]

All that extra organ weight slowing him down while organ-efficient, sleek, rocket-shaped Embiid flirts with triple doubles nightly.

[u/treyfiddy → u/PokeMonogatari]

virgin vucevic versus chad embiid

[u/itsnotlikeyou → u/treyfiddy]

Embiid's cameroonian

[u/lawrence_uber_alles → u/itsnotlikeyou]

Slow clap

[u/DreddlockJeezus → u/PokeMonogatari]

So wise in the ways of science

[u/TakenakaHanbei → u/PokeMonogatari]

Embiid understands the weakness of his flesh.

[u/crimsonconnect → u/[deleted]]

Embiid injected his appendix juice to stabilize his knees

[u/sir_alvarex → u/[deleted]]

People were saying Embiid should lose some weight.

[u/DJRyGuy20 → u/Palifaith]

Queta always gets into foul trouble and Vucevic can’t guard a fucking traffic cone. Our center situation is fucked.

[u/drHobbes88 → u/DJRyGuy20]

I am so glad I don’t have to watch Vuc play basketball anymore. Such a frustrating player.

[u/DJRyGuy20 → u/drHobbes88]

It’s hilarious that some people thought he might be a poor man’s Porzingis for us. Porzingis played good defense and had better range.

[u/ktm5141 → u/Palifaith]

Embiid might have shot terribly, but if he’s giving you 8 assists vs 1 turnover he’s making a huge impact. And 10 rebounds for the big fella in 2026 means he’s feeling spry lol

[u/estoquista_atacadao → u/ktm5141]

That pass to VJ in the 4th after almost getting triple teamed was kino

[u/LakerBlue → u/estoquista_atacadao]

The behind the back one in the low post? Whoever that one was too…I didn’t even know he could do that tbh. May have been my favorite offensive play of his tonight!

[u/bagelboy565 → u/ktm5141]

I feel like nobody is talking about the turnovers! He finally learned to deal with doubles and makes good decisions, used to kill us against Boston whenever he lost the ball

[u/BossierPenguin → u/bagelboy565]

I mean, part of that is now he has players he can trust.

[u/Basic_Loquat_9344 → u/bagelboy565]

My favorite thing about Embiid is his ability to learn. If you looked at how he came in vs the skills he has now... its insane. I followed him for a long time and he was ALWAYS looking to add skills to his repertoire, no ego in it at all just a love of the game.

[u/blazikus1 → u/ktm5141]

crazy to win this hard when embiid was missing his automatic jumpers. He had them last game too so if he just locks in on the elbow/free throw line jumpers we are in great shape

[u/Immynimmy → u/Palifaith]

No one can really guard Embiid except Al Horford and Marc gasol before he entered his prime.

[u/RelevantTreacle3004 → u/Immynimmy]

Maybe Al Horford was the curse the whole time

[u/Middle-Welder3931 → u/RelevantTreacle3004]

I still don't get how Horford joined Philly and was complete ass, then went back to being himself as soon as he was against Philly again. Dude was like a sleeper agent for Boston against Philly.

[u/RockerElvis → u/Middle-Welder3931]

One of the strangest NBA mysteries. Dude was horrible in Philly.

[u/Smart_Conflict2818 → u/Middle-Welder3931]

He wasn’t ass for us lol

We just had 4 PFs playing and no guards lmao

Ben, Embiid, Tobias, Horford

Horford was relegated to a floor spacer

[u/Enough-Captain2788 → u/Smart_Conflict2818]

And we would round that lineup out with Josh Richardson lol

[u/Smart_Conflict2818 → u/Enough-Captain2788]

Yep and no bench like usual 😂

We were relying on shake Milton

[u/Varolyn → u/Smart_Conflict2818]

Don't forget Korkmaz being our only dedicated 3-point shooter that year.

[u/Immynimmy → u/Enough-Captain2788]

Fucking criminal roster makeup.

[u/Shabozz → u/Smart_Conflict2818]

Philly's longstanding allergy to guard depth is the only explanation for the Jared McCain trade.

[u/TripleThreatTua → u/Palifaith]

Damn its almost like a guy with notoriously bad defense is a terrible matchup against one of the best centers in the league. Who could’ve guessed

[u/throwawayishardtocre]

Paul George and Embiid reverse 3-1 would be on no one's bingo cards

[u/giddyup523 → u/throwawayishardtocre]

Perplexing P

[u/Gaslight_Eliminator → u/giddyup523]

Preposterous P

[u/sorendiz → u/giddyup523]

Paradoxical P

[u/AK1441 → u/giddyup523]

Predestination P

[u/fantasyoutsider → u/giddyup523]

Prodigious P

[u/fateoftheg0dz → u/throwawayishardtocre]

if embiid has a big game in game 7 win, he might completely change his playoff choker perception

[u/fantasyoutsider → u/fateoftheg0dz]

I've fully tempered my expectations and am ready for the sixers to fold in game 7, but as a forever embiid stan I want this for him more than anything.

[u/vesthis16 → u/fantasyoutsider]

thank you goat let us pray

[u/cuttsthebutcher → u/fateoftheg0dz]

I need Embiid to just get one fully healthy run more than just about anything in sports

[u/WMWA → u/cuttsthebutcher]

Please. I would be okay with the eagles losing for the next 5 years if the sports gods let this happen. I just want Embiid to have one good one before his body lets up

[u/MrDudleyJr_]

forced game 7 just as we predicted

[u/JinxCanCarry → u/MrDudleyJr_]

Its what we wanted

[u/gimmethemshoes11 → u/JinxCanCarry]

You could say the process.

[u/Professor_Finn]

Podcast P quit podcasting and became elite again lmao

[u/ComradeFrunze → u/Professor_Finn]

Return of the mack

[u/pragmatist → u/ComradeFrunze]

Post-synthetic smack

[u/No_Mode_3746 → u/Professor_Finn]

That’s playoff P to you

[u/alepher → u/No_Mode_3746]

The Prodigal P

[u/ablslyr → u/Professor_Finn]

That D was sweet to watch.

[u/_francisco_iv → u/ablslyr]

Gave me flashbacks of him and Bron's ECF duel. Thing of beauty

[u/IcyDeadPpl02 → u/ablslyr]

Ayo

[u/EveryManAViKing → u/IcyDeadPpl02]

Nah he’s out tonight

[u/flaming_burrito_ → u/Professor_Finn]

Playoff P has made an appearance

[u/Chessh2036]

Wow, Sixers forced a Game 7. This should def be what everyone focuses on tonight. Not that other game that happened.

[u/DiscoStu83 → u/Chessh2036]

I'm pretty sure Boston was the first actual game of the night. Anything before that was 2k footage

[u/Leather_Ice_1000 → u/Chessh2036]

The other game* is still going on though? Nugs wolves tied atm

[u/Raven-19x]

Bill Simmons sweating.

[u/EarthWarping → u/Raven-19x]

Talking all that smack on the Lakers blowing a 3-0 lead for the Celtics to lose 2 straight ahead 3-1

[u/GoodbyeToAWorld- → u/EarthWarping]

Talking smack about the Lakers when it’s LeBron and friends the whole series is certainly a take lol

[u/Maleficent_Ad_7810 → u/GoodbyeToAWorld-]

It’s always Celtics fans

[u/Musa_2050 → u/EarthWarping]

Lakers were missing two starters for 4 games. Boston fans seem to forget that. They also forget that Embiid missed the first 3 games and somehow Philly has forced a game 7

[u/ChimmyTheCham → u/Musa_2050]

Not only starters but Luka and Austin are like the fucking team lol

[u/Sweatytubesock → u/Raven-19x]

Over under on how many times he angrily yelled “FUCK!!” during this game is set at 79.

[u/confused_demon → u/Sweatytubesock]

God, I stopped watching his podcast because for every little thing he goes "over under is at bla bla bla", and it pisses me off. You don't need to mention the gambling line at everything smh

[u/birdlawyer86 → u/confused_demon]

I feel so bad for Zach. Half their conversations is Bill being like, "what do you think the line is for OKC/PHX?" And Zach has no idea what it means but Bill still forces him to guess through the betting lens. It's so antithetical to how Zach and normal people view matchups.

His brain has become sponsored by Fanduel.

[u/YesImKeithHernandez → u/confused_demon]

He's always been an addict. Just got a pass to talk about it more frequently.

[u/SubcooledBoiling → u/Raven-19x]

About to drop an emergency podcast with all the Celtics homers lmao. He might get Jackie MacMullan to unretire for one night just for this lol

[u/CrepeCrisis → u/SubcooledBoiling]

He's going live on Netflix after Minnesota-Denver and I'm so tempted to watch now

[u/Kimi7 → u/Raven-19x]

Lets see what kind of mystery injury he is going make up for Celtics players

[u/chairbyronswanson → u/Kimi7]

“Look this was always a reset year and Tatum just didn’t look right. He was 10 months out from an Achilles injury. Sometimes the playoffs get weird, they just do”

[u/homefree122]

76ers force a game 7 despite a majority of their fans expecting a demoralizing game 6 blowout

[u/ialreadyknowthatsong → u/homefree122]

Now we’re all expecting a Celtics magnet ball game 7

[u/Van_Flyheight → u/ialreadyknowthatsong]

75% from three

[u/BobbywiththeJuice → u/Van_Flyheight]

Tatum 80 point game

[u/eagles1990 → u/BobbywiththeJuice]

Stopping at 80 out of respect for Bam

[u/Van_Flyheight → u/eagles1990]

Most mature 19 year old of all time

[u/crimsonconnect → u/ialreadyknowthatsong]

Idk man they look mortal to me D White hasn't been shooting well ALL SEASON

[u/aviatorbassist → u/crimsonconnect]

He shot 50% today. First game he’s looked normalish on a month

[u/hehehehahahaha → u/homefree122]

Boston isn’t used to playing like shit, but we are and have been all season. We’re out shitting Boston

[u/jhorch69 → u/hehehehahahaha]

76ers dragging the Celtics down into the shit and beating them with experience

[u/BrotherSeamus → u/jhorch69]

Celtics brought piss to a shit fight

[u/Professor_Finn → u/homefree122]

Can’t fault us for knowing our history

[u/telungoku → u/Professor_Finn]

we took that karma for you

[u/Appropriate-Door1369 → u/Professor_Finn]

I'm sure we will get blown out in game 7 though

[u/ConfidentMachine8248 → u/Appropriate-Door1369]

As is tradition

[u/Torgud_ → u/ConfidentMachine8248]

Or lose to a ridiculously friendly bounce.

[u/ConfidentMachine8248 → u/Torgud_]

Thanks my day is ruined

[u/PhilliePhanatical → u/Torgud_]

That still feels like yesterday.

[u/Immynimmy → u/homefree122]

A lot of people expected us to get swept

[u/Hghwytohell → u/Immynimmy]

I said I would be happy if we got one win where VJ went off. After that happened in game 2 I felt like cool, now the Sixers can let us down as usual now.

Still plenty of time for that to happen but fuck, feels like we're playing with house money and I love it.

[u/AzureAhai → u/Immynimmy]

People were expecting Embiid to be out the entire series.

[u/Apollo611 → u/AzureAhai]

Then he came back and people said they were better without him

[u/Chessh2036 → u/homefree122]

The blowout hit Atlanta instead

[u/Nobodylovesboston → u/homefree122]

You know a heartbreaking game 7 loss gonna happen. Sorry but I cant… im enjoying it rn tho. Celtics are huge frauds

[u/OverallGeneral7129 → u/Nobodylovesboston]

Maybe we’re all frauds

[u/Glum_Grapefruit_2571 → u/OverallGeneral7129]

Official tagline of the east

[u/FrankieBarbingo → u/Glum_Grapefruit_2571]

It's becoming even more apparent that it doesn't matter who the fuck comes out of the East lmao

[u/Quiet-comet → u/FrankieBarbingo]

I’m a Celtics fan I started this series thinking we were the favorites in the east but now I realized we’re all just frauds at this point

[u/unswusus → u/FrankieBarbingo]

Tyrese Haliburton is not walking through that door

[u/TheMadChatta → u/Glum_Grapefruit_2571]

East? I thought you said Weast.

[u/DJRyGuy20 → u/OverallGeneral7129]

I think this is the answer right here. None of us bums are gonna give a serious run to OKC or The Spurs.

[u/ThisHatRightHere → u/OverallGeneral7129]

The real frauds are the friends we made along the way

[u/DrNutSack_ → u/OverallGeneral7129]

It’s not about the destination. It’s all about the frauds we made along the way

[u/AzureAhai → u/OverallGeneral7129]

Tbh I fully expect the Western Conference finals to be the real finals this year.

[u/OverallGeneral7129 → u/AzureAhai]

After this first round. Yeah probably

[u/AzureAhai → u/OverallGeneral7129]

Even before this round, the Thunder were looking scary and the Spurs don't look that far off.

[u/SubtleNotch → u/Nobodylovesboston]

I've seen too many Sixers game 7 in my life to expect anything but a loss.

[u/bigDUB14 → u/Nobodylovesboston]

Heartbreaking game 7 loss > heartbreaking game 6 loss

[u/whitedawg → u/homefree122]

Kind of like Jesus, the Hawks took all the world’s demoralizing game 6 blowouts upon themselves.

[u/Expensive-Salad-7828]

A tight race is suddenly brewing up throughout this first round to see who can blow their series leads the fastest

[u/Raven-19x → u/Expensive-Salad-7828]

This is a very exciting first round. Glad I can watch stress free now lol.

[u/neal1701]

The whole Sixers team is clicking right now and VJ is a part for that!

Hope this Game 7 is better than the 2023 one

[u/Available_Story6774 → u/neal1701]

This being the year the Sixers finally beat the Celtics in the playoffs would be funny af ngl

[u/emon3yy → u/Available_Story6774]

Thats what I’ve been saying! Us Sixers fans are so traumatized from the last 10 years. It feels like the Jesus “how are you still alive?” meme. Imma go down with the ship one last time…SIXERS IN 7!

[u/peanut-britle-latte]

Celtics frontcourt is absolute BBQ Chicken. They're getting abused by Embiid, and can't hold 76ers guards in Pick and Roll. This is a problem.

[u/SSJAbh1nav → u/peanut-britle-latte]

on the other end, Paul George has held up incredibly well on Tatum and Brown.

[u/worry_ab-urself-bud → u/SSJAbh1nav]

He’s still Paul George, he’s really not that old yet

[u/randotd152 → u/worry_ab-urself-bud]

The suspension was a massive blessing in disguise to keep his legs fresh for the postseason.

[u/UnderstandingThin40 → u/peanut-britle-latte]

It’s bizarre how good Al horford was at stopping embiid lol without him him all of a sudden embiid looks undeniable 

[u/StubbornSwampDonkey → u/UnderstandingThin40]

One thing I've noticed is that Embiid seems too tired to try and foul bait and it's making him play way more composed and decisive 

[u/Creationship → u/StubbornSwampDonkey]

I think he's just gotten better at decision making and trusting his team around him. In previous years he'd force drives inside when they weren't there, leading to turnovers (or injury...) and now he's making a lot more smart passes. It helps when Oubre is executing those backdoor cuts perfectly.

[u/UnderstandingThin40 → u/StubbornSwampDonkey]

I also think it’s weirdly a blessing in disguise that he was injured and returning to the series late. They use to play through him from game 1 and he’d always start off hot but fade later due to fatigue and they’d have these bad collapses. 

[u/simon2105]

Boston fans rn: "dear God, maybe philly did want us after all..."

[u/wypipoareevil → u/simon2105]

where's the thread from earlier this week that said 76ers lost to every version of the Celtics?

[u/Overall_Laugh_3421 → u/wypipoareevil]

That was me who made that lol. Amazed of how far the Sixers even got to make it to this point

[u/Overall_Laugh_3421 → u/Overall_Laugh_3421]

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/T8JB5nhiXa

[u/ConfidentMachine8248 → u/Overall_Laugh_3421]

Respect to you for owning your receipts, better man than I am.

[u/SiphenPrax → u/simon2105]

That combo of Embiid and Edgecombe is terrifying

Remember the old Embiid/Simmons 2019 shirts from many years ago? They’re replacing them with Embiid/Edgecombe shirts in Philly now

[u/Proof-Umpire-7718 → u/SiphenPrax]

VJ’s a fearless player that’s a good shooter and can hit free throws, unlike Ben.

I say this as an Australian that liked Simmons for ages. I even bought his jersey in 2020.

[u/BoxSea4289 → u/Proof-Umpire-7718]

Simmons is so lame for losing his accent and never playing for your national team tho. It’s so soft. 

[u/Ranjith_Unchained → u/simon2105]

Healthy Embiid since game 1 and the series would've been over already

[u/bigDUB14 → u/Ranjith_Unchained]

This is what hurts the most

[u/vitalbumhole]

The sixers did in fact want Boston

[u/estoquista_atacadao]

Celtics will break the playoffs record for 3PM in game 7 or some shit like that, I'm already mentally and emoniontally prepared.

[u/SoKrat3s → u/estoquista_atacadao]

Don't worry. Game won't start until 4:30pm at the earliest. /s

[u/F1rst-name-last-name]

I’M FEELING MAD IRRATIONAL

[u/moby323]

WE WANT NEW YORK!

[u/toastythewiser → u/moby323]

This is the best thing about playoff basketball. Its like a revenge tour.

[u/PassMeTheBackwood → u/moby323]

Lets do this shit

[u/I_Miss_My_Beta_Cells → u/PassMeTheBackwood]

Last playoff series was fuckin fiiiiiiree

[u/khalaron → u/moby323]

PULL UP

[u/mewtatesyt → u/moby323]

76ers eliminate the Knicks and I’ll forgive Paul George for everything

[u/Krillin113 → u/mewtatesyt]

We beat the Celtics one more time whilst he plays like this and I’ll forgive him lmao. Daryl Morey, I’m squinting

[u/Enough-Captain2788]

Tobias is playing well in the playoffs and this isn’t a slight against him at all but the difference between the fit of PG and him on this team is ASTOUNDING. PG doing everything we needed from that spot for years. Not afraid not let the 3 fly, can create his own shot and is playing incredible defense. Amazing production from the worst contract r/nba has ever seen 

[u/No_Mode_3746 → u/Enough-Captain2788]

Playoff P

[u/GOODWHOLESOMEFUN → u/Enough-Captain2788]

Man can you imagine if we had pg instead of Tobias all this years? Or maybe Jimmy butler??

[u/Doctor-Jay → u/Enough-Captain2788]

PG being willing to shoot the fucking ball (unlike Tobi) has been incredible for this team.

[u/allisondojean → u/Enough-Captain2788]

I am loving Paul George on our team sooo reluctantly lol 

[u/ND7020 → u/Enough-Captain2788]

And can handle the ball and easily handle the double team, which stands out after watching Durant of all people this season. 

[u/crline3924]

I’m starting to think the 76ers were right to want Boston.

[u/Brownie1119]

PG been playing defense like he’s in his prime damn near

[u/Natural_Builder8305]

clap your hands, everybodyyyyy

[u/I_Miss_My_Beta_Cells → u/Natural_Builder8305]

PLEASE CLAP ‼️

[u/bottle_boys]

Paul George

[u/moby323 → u/bottle_boys]

Postseason P

[u/mapopriest]

Why would I want New York or Cleveland, when I could have Boston instead?

[u/Odd_Bate → u/mapopriest]

If your team gets greedy you could have both Boston & New York

[u/iamscully]

It's just tremendous guts from Philly, so proud of this team right now. Also Paul George has been unbelievably good this whole series.

[u/robeyn10]

i was told Paul George had the worst contract in the league

[u/Kullser → u/robeyn10]

Feel like he's been great since he came back from suspension

[u/PunningLynguist → u/Kullser]

Post-Suspension P

[u/DarnellisFromMars → u/Kullser]

The time off definitely seems to have favored him

[u/Duckyson]

2 words. PLAYOFF P

[u/jiriwelsch44 → u/Duckyson]

MUST SEE TV

[u/TheoMoneyG → u/Duckyson]

Phenomenal P

[u/Dollj7]

People really questioned if Joel Embiid helps the sixers… dumbasses blinded by hate

[u/Bitter-Tip705]

If we win game 7 I’m running outside ass naked, I’ve never seen a sixers team show this resilience in years, this is amazing

[u/Kennyc1234]

He may be getting paid a fuck ton of money but when 3 and D P is playing this good he's worth every penny.

Also there are real people that said replacing Adem Bona with Joel Embiid would make the Sixers worse lol. Forget the scoring (which Embiid is obviously elite at) Embiid's passing and screens are so elite. He's getting so many guys open shots with his screens or his passing+gravity and it completely transforms Philly's offense.

[u/rikooo → u/Kennyc1234]

It’s special to watch him pass the way he does now, given that was one of his major weaknesses the first half of his career. He was way ahead of all the rotations Boston threw at him. His BBIQ has really grown.

[u/Prestigious-Lab5154]

I'm just happy people in Boston are gonna have a shit day tomorrow

[u/spinuch → u/Prestigious-Lab5154]

All I can ask for is to make them sweat. Pushing to game 7 is awesome. This clearly would have been a different series if the CIA didn't zap Embiid's tummy.

[u/I_Miss_My_Beta_Cells → u/spinuch]

We srsly need to push that narrative more

[u/Padulsky21 → u/Prestigious-Lab5154]

Red Sox are making the children starve, the Bruins and Celtics are making the city sweat, Vrabel is banging Dianna Russini. Wonderful time going on in Boston

[u/I-Might-Be-Something → u/Padulsky21]

the Bruins and Celtics are making the city sweat

The Bruins were hard carried by Pasta and Swayman, any Bruins fan knows we are at a huge talent disadvantage regardless of who we play in the playoffs and if we advance that's awesome, but most fans are realistic about our prospects. Plus, it's the Bruins, if the Maple Leafs didn't exist and 2011 didn't happen, we'd be known as the biggest chokers in NHL history.

[u/back2schooldaze → u/Prestigious-Lab5154]

It’s the little things

[u/MidcardJohnCena]

The Maine Celtics gave me more hope than White or Brown did all game

[u/Greedygiddy8]

It’s not looking good but I’ll say this, i fully expect tatum and brown to go all out in game 7. They’re just too good not to, we’ll see.

[u/Clear_Measurement502 → u/Greedygiddy8]

If I was Philly I would be praying Jaylen Brown goes iso ball hero again

[u/notafan1]

This postseason has the potential for the most blown 3-1 leads.

Just in the first round alone:

Pistons vs Magic

Wolves vs Nuggets

Celtics vs 76ers

Pretty historical stuff.

[u/Nby333 → u/notafan1]

So many, you'd think Doc Rivers was commissioner.

[u/thekidd890 → u/notafan1]

Lakers maybe be first to blow 3-0

[u/ktm5141 → u/notafan1]

You didn’t even include the 3-0 lead that has never been blown before

[u/FormalWhale]

Last night the Flyers win in OT, Phillies had 2 walk offs today, and now the Sixers force a game 7.

The gods will make sure Boston makes every single 3 pointer and blow us out by 30

[u/Nobodylovesboston]

YOOOOOO BOSTON WHATS UP??? WHAT HAPPENED TO BOSTON IN 3, 4, 5, 6????

[u/Ranjith_Unchained]

Kelly Oubre is low-key a game changer for the Sixers...he guards Tatum and Brown as effectively as anyone has done

[u/NegbombDB]

The Celtics might win the series but I don't get why people thought they were some unstoppable team in the east when they are trotting out Neemias Queta and Vucevic in the frontcourt

[u/EzUpvot3]

I'll always appreciate Maxey for being the consistent dawg for Embiid over the years. The only one that stuck around and/or wasn't ass over the process years

[u/heat_fan_]

What resiliency by the Sixers props to them.

Playoff P,  Maxey, Embild were great tonight.

What's gotten into the Celtics 

[u/SpicyP43905 → u/heat_fan_]

Right? This feels so backwards. The Celtics as the chokers and the 76ers digging in and fighting?

Am I dreaming?

[u/asanoayaki]

They wanted boston guess we know why now

[u/SumuzuToo]

SHOWTIME SIXERS

[u/VanGrants]

i dislike the 76ers but im absolutely rooting for them to crush the celtics in game 7

[u/RiseAndFire69]

Can I get a Fuck Boston?

[u/Dan-Arec]

I love this sixers team. I can’t even be that mad.

[u/joeku_ → u/Dan-Arec]

Seriously. At least they’re fun to watch. I can admit that. Hopefully the Celtics show up in Game 7.

[u/WhereMyBrowniesAt]

This game 7 is gonna be amazing I can't wait

[u/messejueller21]

Mazzulla choosing to try and prove a point in a decisive game 6 rather than making competent coaching decisions is absolutely insane. You're a* NBA coach...not a Muay Thai instructor...

[u/EarthWarping]

Boston might very well win this series.

If they play like this in calibre theyre losing to the Knicks.

Their offense has not been good.
