That Sunday game will be 40% Knicks fans. I'll be there.
THE REWATCHABLE BOYS TALKING HOOP WE ARE SO BACK
If Embiid,s healthy and relatively fit the sixers win in 5 or 6… he's not gonna work on defense guarding hartenstein and mitchell lol
Lmao mentioning oubre as a liability when the Knicks play Josh hart 40 minutes is ridiculous. What have people watched the Knicks aren’t good. They play hard which is the number 1 sign that they aren’t good
Kyle Lowry is a little politician, MSG gonna snuff him.
embiid is 19ppg on 49%TS in career elimination games…he is THE BIGGEST playoff droper/choker of this generation, even more than Harden. And flops…😂
Never seen media protect player more…ain't NOBODY 100% healthy,stop making excusses!
He ain't all that what yall think!
Sixers in 6
Why do they keep saying the sixers “won 8 of their last 10” they’ve won 9 straight including the playoffs
Being a mets knicks and jets fan is a tough life. If you cheer for the knicks you gotta be a giants and yankees fan so at least you have some championships in your life haha
Knicks in 4 🧹
Boston may have wanted Miami to prove they're better but NOTHING will erase how embarrassing 2023 was for Boston. Going down 3-0 with 2 games at home and losing to an 8 seed in the playoffs is a stain
Turn bogan and randle into draymond and jeremy grant
‘04 Pistons . How sway
Love this little Ny rivalry thats growing this is great for basketball 🏀!!! With that being said Lets go 6ers!!!🔴🔵
Simmons doesn't like the Sixers to win. What a freaking surprise!He thinks BOS is already in the finals. 🙄🙄🙄
LOL at picking the sixers
Sean sucks bill don't have this guy back on
20:04 facts 😂😂😂😂
The Philly delusion, regardless of the evidence from the match ups this season is classic.
Knicks won 3 of 4. And dominated the 76ers. Sixer never scored over 100 points, and we only had Randle once.
Can’t believe I’m saying this but the Knicks actually have the second best odds of making the Finals out the East. They are better than Milwaukee and Philly especially with a hobbled Giannis and Embiid.
Julius Randle played well in the postseason versus Cleveland and Miami last year. What is Fennessey talking about? The Atlanta series where Randle struggled was four years ago lol
Villinova is not a philly school……main line
LOL all of their predictions about Philly's strategy amount to cheating to win – Embiid getting cheap foul calls, Lowry knocking Brunson down. Put Simms in and put Embiid on the floor if that's the way it's gonna be
7:49 the fouls that Embiid gets ? Do y’all actually watch the games ? Brunson will literally have a man just sliding with him throw his head bacc like he trying get his hair out his eyes scream “ aye” just about every drive and gets a damn call ! Just because he couldn’t beat his defender to the spot ! That’s total opposite of a big dude getting grabbed and shows the refs he’s actually getting fouled just like these small players ! Do y’all watch Knixx games and see the fouls they get ? Let’s not compare that to big that moves like no other big ever in the league ! Lmao
Sixers box out and reb they win in 5- 6 games !
D'Brickishaw Ferguson, lol
16:50 Lol, OG actually didn't play in that playoffs. Don't know if bill and Sean think he destroyed the 76ers from the bench in street cloths with his trash talk or something
Mr. Cameroon crybaby will get his ask kicked. Let's go.
Chris Ryan mocked the Jalen Brunson signing by the Knicks. His opinion is 🗑️
This freaky guy in the middle is super weird, no wife for sure.
Bill Simmons should not be on sports media anymore. I used like him but every year, he gets worse as he gets older. He is too biased and does not deserve to speak his opinion publicly. I feel very sorry for his team members who need to stick to him for another few years.
Those are some top-tier 21st century “nary”s right there.
OG had a good 2020 but I get the point Chris is making
Philly can SMD
As a Knicks fan I like our chances against Philly, its gonna be a fight no doubt but this Knicks team has something special about them
Why is Fennesy allowed to comment on sports? OG barely played in 2019.
Embiid will pull up. Knicks in 5..they will also beat IND in round 2 IMO but lose in 5 to Cs
Who are these clowns with Bill, i could not watch more than five minutes of this
☝️🤓 “Send Kyle Lowry to Flushing Queens”
the jokes on these podcasts are so unfunny. Fake laughter is so cringe
I can't believe this guy is saying two 40 year old players in Kyle Lowry and Nic Batum will be hard for the Knicks to handle. The whole Knicks roster is in their prime or about to hit their prime except for Bogdanovic. The Sixers are going to get killed on the boards all series…especially when Embiid isn't 100% and he's going against two quality centers. The Knicks have arguably the best defense in the NBA when OG is on the floor. The numbers don't lie.
I mean OG didn’t play that year and we won the series when he did play, was always the least worrisome raptor in any sixers matchup. Brunson is really the guy that needs to be stopped and it’s over, Simmons of all people should know that a small guard led team that’s feisty in the regular season is often not a recipe for success in playoffs. He knows basketball but sometimes just comes up with real terrible takes. This is the healthiest Embiid has been for the playoffs maybe ever?
as a raptors fan, I can say that if og is the primary defender on embiid, the knicks are going home.
Most Raptor fans are becoming Knicks fans for the Spring!!!
Good to see knicks fans are clueless, enjoy the offseason in 2 weeks
Agree with Bill, Maxey shouldn’t be MIP, and im a Sixers fan ‼️
16:45 A little earlier but still far away, OG hit the game winning 3 in the bubble against the Celtics in the second round
Knicks in four with Adobbo!!! RIP Embid…
