76ers 0-1 Knicks: So the 76ers were gassed in game 1 as expected. I very much disagree with playing Embiid at all in game 1 since you could have gotten him at least 4 days of rest, but instead you played him in a predictable loss. I will say the 76ers game plan seems to work, have KAT pick up 2 quick fould in the 1st and then Hack-A-Mitch to get the ball out of Brunson's hands, they were just too gassed to take advantage, paired with the elbow Embiid took. I definitely feel hesitant for to say the Sixers will win game 2 since they didn't rest Embiid for game 1, but if I believe in my overall series prediction game 2 was a game I thought they could steal. Game 1 was always a lost and I think they could sneak 1 on the road to tie it 1-1 to then win at home to go 3-1 go back to MSG for the Knicks to bring it back to 3-2 for the 76ers to close it out at home.
Prediction: 76ers 1-1 Knicks
Timberwolves 1-0 Spurs: So game 1 did not go how I expected at all, but I think this is the bounce back game for Wemby and potentially Fox as he seems to have a good one after a stinker almost right away. I will say this might be a 7 game series. Prediction: Timberwolves 1-1 Spurs
Overall on the Day: 76ers 1-1 Knicks / Timberwolves 1-1 Spurs
