      It's actually the most accurate answer because celtics play around and don't have killer instinct and they were saved by Browns Performance during the playoffs, otherwise they'd have lost again 🤣🤣
      Also people seem to have forgotten the celtics weren't challenged seriously by anyone and afforded to goof off shooting 3's 90% of the games, in a real basketball game they'd be shredded by lockdown defense like what the knicks bring.

    I disagree with this whole big 3 dialogue around the sixers. They have a strong starting 5. Kelly oubre is no scrub and gave the Knicks trouble in the post season. He was a good scorer. Caleb martin elevates in the playoffs, gives the Celtics issues and shoots over 40% in the post season. Drummond really helps with rebounding, and keeping Joel healthy. PG and Drummond should resolve the non Embiid minutes constant breakdowns. It’s a typical story for the sixers to be up and doing well in a game. Have Joel sit down and fall behind 15 pts in that time. They need to sure up their bench a bit still or need McCain, council or Bona to play a legit role off the bench this year. I think they have a solid starting 5 (better and taller then the Knicks) and decent bench. I still think the biggest issue for the sixers is rebounding - bc Knicks don’t necessarily win off sheer talent half of it is offensive rebounding. I would consider the sixers starting 5 similar if not better then the nuggets starting 5. ESPN needs to stop discussing them as a big 3. PG is similar to what holiday was to the Celtics for them.

    The Knicks were the 2nd best team in the East LAST YEAR despite Randle, OG and Mitch missing most of the season and Bojan not getting on the team until the last 2 months of the season. Not only are they getting Randle back (most disrespected player to average 25-9-4), but they swapped Bojan with Mikal who will undoubtedly play better for the Knicks than he did on the nets (just like Donte and Hart). I believed they were good enough to at least be competitive w the Celtics if they were healthy last year.
    The Sixers have no depth. Paul George is not the player he once was, and asking both him and Embiid to stay healthy is a lot when they are both over 30 and already injury prone. I would say they are neck and neck with the Bucks, who’ve had a year to learn each others play style already and will most likely have a better season.

  • @changazz6524

    That’s such a silly thing to say. A big 3 hasn’t worked when immediately coming together since Lebron.
    Maxey and Embiid have been playing together for 4 years now, they’ve just added a perimeter wing who can shoot 3s and defend at a high level, in what way would they need any time at all to integrate that??
    76ers beat the Knicks so comfortably next playoffs it’s not even a question. Knicks just lost Hartenstein who was incredible last year and they have no replacement for him, and Mitchell Robinson can’t stay on the court - and even when he does he sucks.
    They’ve added some perimeter guys sure, but there’s only one ball and there’s 2 sides of the court. Sure everyone can shoot, and bridges is a great player. But nobody on that team can fathom guarding Embiid, Maxey will still torch them, and you have Paul George on the perimeter who shot over 45% on catch and shoot 3s last season.
    It’s not even a question
