    At least we didn't get swept. We were the underdog 
    You had home court advantage and lost in five...
    We were still the underdog 
    Well they were favorites in games 1 and 2 and then again last night... 
    For the series I believe Vegas had them as the underdog 
    Maybe they were. But they likely saw it going 7 as the Knicks were favored in 3 of the 5 games. 
    The Knicks weren't even expected to make the playoffs. So for them to get 4th seed was already a treat. I mean look at that team. It's mixed and matched like a mofo. Not even a consistent starting 5. They played the same way they did early in the season during that series. If I weren't a Knicks fan, I would've put a lot of money on a Hawks sweep regardless of what Vegas said. Sports book analytics lean heavily on the present, it almost never takes into account how much the same exact players sucked just six months ago and the likelihood of essentially the same team going back to its old ways. Which is exactly what happened to the Knicks. 
    Just saying having home court advantage and losing in 5 is pretty bad.

    As a Sixers fan, I'm just salty we didn't get an extra couple days of rest! lol

    Knicks are pretty good. They are really good defensively. I like their physicality. Offense is a different story though.

    Knicks were -120 to win series, slight favorites, about what you'd expect in a 4 vs 5 matchup.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    It is, but it's the 4-5 series with both team having the same record. 

    Defense can only take teams so far. Especially in an era where teams are capable of dropping 150 points any night. Gotta be able to keep up if the defense is failing. I don't know how a point guard has been an issue for about a decade and the best we could come up with is Frank Ntikilina.

    That's what I figured. Wouldn't be favored in 3 of those 5 games and not have been the favorite overall. 

    These fucking Hawks though...Sheesh. Pesky little turds.

    They are fast, move the ball very well, and everybody in that team not named Clint Capela can shoot.

    Now that Giannis won with the Bucks. He can try to get out of his contract and come here. One can only hope

    Don't like it. Need someone who can average more assists than Randle at the point.

    Not gonna lie, was not a fan of Randle signing when we first got him... I super respect him now after this new contract. 114m for 4 years. Knowing your value, but agreeing to much less.... that is a guy who wants to win

    He'll probably be traded. Almost $30 million is more than I thought he would get
