Sochan?

Risk to playing Mo? He pulls a Siakim and we get priced out.
How is Sochans Hammy?

For goodness sake, OG has been our playoff MVP thus far. If we win tonite, I sit him the rest of the series.

1. stay out of foul trouble.
2. Mitch beast needs to exact his dominance!
3. Time for Landry to hit a few.

With OG out we really just got small.
Sure we can use some scoring from Shamet but I'd really like some size in there and I think that comes from increased time with the double bigs, Mo (if he can doesn'tget exposed defensively) and Sochan

I'd be surprised if we went with Diawara. I think Brown is going to go small with Deuce starting and just Mitch (if he's over his "illness"), GTA5, Clarkson and Shamet.

If Philly is going to win a game and make this a series, tonight is their game. We have to be ready cause they will come out swinging!

Google AI wrote:Following their 2-0 start in the 2026 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals, the New York Knicks are strong favorites, but a sweep is not guaranteed.
While they are -1000 to win the series, odds suggest it will likely go to six games, with experts noting Philly’s top-line talent could force a longer series.

Series Outlook & Key Trends

Series Odds: The Knicks are massive -270 to -1000 favorites to advance.

Current Standing: The Knicks lead the series 2-0 after winning 137-98 (May 4) and 108-102 (May 6).

Betting Trends: Oddsmakers set the series total games at 5.5, with -130 odds for the over, indicating the series is expected to go to at least six games.

Factors: The 76ers covered the spread in Game 2 and showed improved 3-point shooting (38%), suggesting competitiveness if Joel Embiid stays healthy.
A sweep (4-0) is possible but considered less likely by analysts who expect Philadelphia to win at least one game, particularly with the series moving to Philadelphia.
