In 7 wins so far this playoffs, the Knicks have held their opponents to 102 or less every time.
Even in the two losses to the hawks, their opponents scored under 110. The defense has been amazing!

I understand that game 1 was a blowout and game two was close. I too am a homer Knicks fan with issues with Embiid. But he is a good player when healthy, even if he is rarely healthy. It is definitely better for him to not be playing than for him to be playing in terms of our win chances. Are we favored regardless of if he plays or not? Yes, I think we're the better team.
But we don't need to be so results oriented on one game samples, and throw out all logic to say the multi time all-star makes the team worse because they're slower when he plays. All data says that is untrue. The 7 game Celtics series made it clear that was untrue. Players have bad games and teams have good games. This is like when brunson misses time and idiots on r/NBA say "could be a good thing, no more brunson iso balls and an obvious person to attack on defense!" It's like, yes those are issues with Brunson, but you have to be braindead to think the team is better off without our best player. Same is true for Philly. Anyway, Knicks in 4.
They're playing their best basketball all season at the perfect time. Crazy after those game 2 and game 3 losses to the Hawks. Will Philly bounce back in game 2? Source is the peacock broadcast
Hello! I have been grinding my vocabulary, which is fun on its own, but to supplement this and have more fun, I've also been using song lyrics. So far I've gone through Teresa Teng's The Moon Represents my Heart, Richie Ren's 对面的女孩, and Transition's 对不起 on YouTube, all of which I heard in school.
I have been going through each and creating flashcards for every single word I don't know after googling their meanings, along with researching the grammar of each sentence if it isn't intuitive. I've found this method to be really fun, even if it's less efficient than others. Does anyone have any song recommendations that would be good for this method? Not too complicated but not children's music. Thank you!
The series of his life, OG leads the entire NBA playoffs in TS% for players with 15ppg or more at a monumental 75.3% true shooting. He also leads the league in win shares.
He is 2nd in +/-, behind only his teammate KAT, who is third in the true shooting stat above. Brunson, Hart, Ajay Mitchell, and Deuce McBride round out the top 6 in +/- so far.
