Your point guard has to guard Jalen Brunson. Your wings are being covered by Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby. Your center is trying to rotate to a Brunson floater while keeping Mitchell Robinson off the glass. Your 4 isn’t strong enough for Julius Randle. The Knicks are a nightmare

The way MIP is going, it wouldn’t be surprising if Wemby won this next year. He’ll go from 21 PPG to 26 PPG and be a leading candidate like we weren’t already saying he was the best prospect ever, a DPOY candidate as a rookie, and the potential GOAT.

Joel Embiid has played in all 4 games, averaging 35 PPG. Hobbled, unable to defend at his usual level, sure. Julius Randle (24/9/5) is out entirely. When the Knicks win this series the narrative will be that the Sixers were more disadvantaged by injuries. That’s not the case.
