@Jiihad a good way to summarize the Knicks-Hawks series is this quote "hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard". Hawks all series matched the Knicks' energy and more and after that the Hawks' depth took over.

That being said if Embiid is out or not at 100% ya'll might have a shot to really push Philly to 6 games especially if Bogdan and Hunter can go off

Draymond said it earlier, Knicks was winning games by jus playing hard. It’s tha playoffs now....EVERYONE playing hard lol, plus us being tha straight up more talented team took over since we was playing hard too

Like you said tho, if Embiid don’t play this series....we got a shot tbh. Trae didn’t shoot particularly well this series and boggy shot like shit in game 5 and we still won by almost 20

Although they blew out the Wizards, Philly is still unlucky as shit with Embiid's injury. Small meniscus tear means he won't be healthy 'till after this playoffs.

Philly will be good if ben play aggressive. His combination with seth will deadly. And tobias gotta go 25+ to win if embiid gone

As a knicks fan, Do you agree with this? I think this season they had pretty good job despite not being predicted to be playoff team. Sad thing is Randle kinda not come out in this series.

Randle (at least in the regular season) has become a good 3 point shooter, and probably better shooter than Bosh who played at a much different time but beyond that both guys are too different imo to compare. But Bosh was an all-star already as soon as he got drafted, it took until Randle's now 7th year in the league to 'break out'. People forget how good Bosh was because all people remember or care about is his time with Miami as their 3rd option where he wasn't asked to do as much. At the moment Bosh is the better and more accomplished player but Randle will have a good window (6-7 years) to hopefully get better as a player

In terms of the Knicks, really happy where this team has grown (no knicks fans in existence saw a playoff appearance coming from basically the same team minus D Rose that won 21 games last season) but as seen in the series against the Hawks, we need to add talent/help - preferably at the PG and the SF position to be in position for the playoffs again (we definitely want to resign D Rose and Taj as well). And of course, Randle and RJ not playing like shit in the playoffs would be nice. Future for the Knicks has not looked this good for the Knicks for a very long time in my opinion (especially compared to almost 10 yrs ago, when Linsanity happened, the only real shining moment in 2012)...

We live in such a cancerous fish brained society. A player starts playing well and all of a sudden he's above all time greats, not just talking about Randle but in general. Steph missed 1 year and people forgot who this man was, questioning his legacy of all people lmao.

As for Randle lmao...wtf is peak Randle? Dude had his first all star caliber season and new york media don't know how to act. I guess they were due for a humbling session.

bruh u don't even kno XD. We only had 3 playoff appearances with Melo but everytime he was on the floor he was always ready to play (25+ PPG in 21 games with us) and a constant source of offense no matter the defense, something Randle needs to work on

New generation is taking over the NBA now.

Trae Young, Devin Booker, Luka Doncic, Giannis, Jokic, Donovan Mitchell all propelling their teams in the playoffs. League has a bright future.
