So we're feeling good, got a 3 day high off of game 2 (still buzzin' from it!), but super pivotal game tonight.

I do expect Brunson to break out of this funk / counter the Philly coverage - and if he does - I'm back to feeling oh so good.

But if he doesn't and Philly takes it, we have a real series here with that nagging thought we'd be down 2-1 if not for the grace of the basketball gods (in Willis' name, we pray - Amen).

2-0 or not, no room for error here.

Embiid is about to get a taste of what it’s like to talk outta his ass, and feel the cost of trying to blame it on the refs .

I think we blow the top off of this game, win by double figures. We shut all the haters up . lETS GO!! Home away from home for the Villanova boys … can’t wait to hear F Embiid on his home floor and mvp chants for Brunson.

3 days off probably helps Philly more than us. I expect this to be our hardest game of the series. I hope we have an answer to the Maxey Eurostep (keep DDV/McBride on him and let the help defense cover the Euro). I also hope that our guys are ready to stay physical with Embiid. Make him a jump shooter. He'll still be a good jump shooter, but better than him being complete menace on the block. Achiuwa and Sims should be able to help shoulder some of the Embiid burden.

This is the Randle.

Not much point in posting this probably but I caution some against expecting a sweep. Philly is tough and talented and will be fired up and may have a little League/ref edge happening. Of course I want a sweep!

I have some respect. Embiid is playing on 1 leg, Nurse has schemed us well and Maxey is a straight up star.

They have challenged our role players to beat them, which doesnt mean they scouted us very well because that is very much something we can do and often do.

If Mitch is a bit gimpy do we get a Precious sighting or just 40 minutes of IHart

I feel like game 5 of the Cavs series tonight. Everyone expects the home team to get a desperate win in this scenario. I hope the Knicks crush their souls tonight.

I'm hoping Knicks fans turn out in force and turn this into another home game.

Expect the refs to put some weight on the scales in favor of Philly. But if the Knicks play like they can it can be a blow out and no whistle make a difference. Let's see the Knicks light up from 3, in transition, dominate the boards and all the loose balls. The team can do it have done it and will do it

This will be a tough game to win, but if Brunson finds his game and the rest of the team keeps up the hustle and D we can win this and ram this series down.

This is gonna be a hard one though as Philly is well rested and back at home.

can we stop talking about refs already and acting like they control the outcomes of games?

every game has missed/bad calls...
