The coaching is great but what makes this work is the degree to which the players trust each other. All five guys have each other's backs. Everyone is helping but no one is overcommitting because they trust that if they give a little bit of help, the other guy can recover. I love it.

This has gotta be some of if not the best help defense I’ve ever seen

[@chadwellington2524]

raptors 2019 had best defense ever

[@bahamasc]

One thing I've learnt is that even if you arent a great 1 on 1 defender naturally, if you try on defense and play team defense and play help defense and if everyone on the team buys in, you can help hide your weakest defenders. We saw it with Curry and you see it with say Bogdonavic. Dude was a liability on defense when he came the Knciks and I thought he was headed for the doghouse. But he has put the work in and bought into Thibs system. Fournier never figured this out.

[@t-bone2019]

[@cybertutorials5609]

Knicks outrebounded the 76ers by a VERY wide margin. They also shot lights out from 3 and defended very well. We know they can defend and rebound, but that 3 ball is the key to them winning this series. If they keep it up, I see Knicks winning in 5 games.

[@Chris-uh5vv]

I'd say not shooting under 40% overall would also be a huge help. They looked sort of out of sync. I expect them to pick it up and embiid to get tired as the series continues.

[@grype83]

Life long Knicks fan since the early 90s, the team we have now is the best squad we have had since the 90s. This is what Knicks basketball should be, hard nose defense and scrappy players fighting over every possession. Just like the Ewing/Starks Knicks we had pretty much one star player but we scratched and clawed our way to the finals. Didn’t win a championship of course but NY loved that team for leaving it all out on the floor every game and that’s how we feel about this team. The 2013 Knicks played such lackluster defense and the only thing that kept us a float was Melo shooting lights out but that’s not enough to win it all. I want the Knicks to go to the finals and win it all but we fans are happy to see our team being relevant again. Let’s! Go! Knicks!

[@difference018]

Thibs should have been coach of the year. He has his team overachieving despite key injuries and mediocre talent. No other coach would have this team as a 2nd seed

[@rvjr]

Mediocre talent is a slight. These guys work hard and never quit.

[@ladistar]

Lmao nonsense. There is no mediocre talent on the Knicks. Brunson and Randle are legit superstars. The role players are very solid and efficient and play great defense. I don’t know where you’re getting “mediocre” from.

[@Corso117]

I think if he didn't win the award recently that he'd be in serious contention again. So many people were saying that the Knicks would finish 4-6 seed in the East at best. For the Knicks to get the 2 seed after losing 3 starters (one of them being a bonafide all-star) for like 30 games, trading away 2 of your key young players, bringing in like 3 new players and have them seamlessly become key pieces of the team is incredible. Oh and they got to 50 wins. Like look at all the players who had career years this season: DiVincenzo, Achiuwa, McBride, Hartenstein, etc. This team just smashed every regular season expectation that people had of them.

[@jaden338]

@@ladistarI wouldn’t agree with Randle being a superstar

[@nirajpatel881]

@@jaden338 Agree. Randle is an all-star and is a Top 30 player in the league but he doesn't touch the status of Jokic, Embiid, Tatum, etc. Brunson is very close if not already there along with the likes of Ant, SGA, etc.

Fortunately Deuce and Josh were up to the task. Good minutes from Bogey, too. Seems like he's much more in the groove. And obviously, how many players can slow Embiid one-on-one like Mitch? Mitch!

[@greyklopstock7155]

Correction: there is a better player in the world at drawing charges. His name is Brandin Podzemszki, he plays guard for the Golden State Warriors, and he led the league in drawn charges this year. He's legit SPECIAL at it as someone who watched every warriors game this year and every other year. You can borderline guarantee he's getting a charge drawn if you drive at him too much. Podzemszki is incredible at it

What adjustments are you making if you're the Knicks? I felt like Maxey was getting free runs to the basket way too often. Big win by the Knicks though. If they can win game 2 and steal game 3 or 4 in Philly they'll be in great position to close the series out in 5-6 games. I could easily see it going to 7. Looking forward to seeing what adjustments both coaches make.

Wondering what your thoughts are how Brunson handled the pick and rolls. Seemed like they didn't want him switching to the stronger offensive player. Multiple times he stayed up for a second to prevent the drive but then there was a scramble to go back to his assignment. Appeared to be something there that the sixers could have taken advantage of.

Huge difference between Mitch and Isaiah guarding embiid. It’s so good having two top centres, they can split the foul trouble. We need to force maxey to take more floaters though. We allowing him to get behind and get the layup. Just stay under the rim and go vertical. Or at least show him different looks.
