The ending of the Knicks vs. Sixers series was wild. It was truly a battle of attrition and too bad that Embiid wasn't there (fouled out) to play it until the last minute. Anyway, what's your strategy for the semis (Knicks vs. Pacers)?
Knicks will defeat the Pacers possible in 5 games.
For me, the Sixers are a better team than the Pacers. The Sixers just went down to 7th seed because Embiid got injured, and missed a lot of games. If he wasn't injured at that time, the Sixers might retain that 4th seed or they might get even higher seed. The series between the Knicks and the Sixers is just one of the most exciting series that we will see this playoffs. It might went to overtime TBH if they didn't decide to double team Brunson. Unfortunately, Hart was left wide open hence, hitting that three to seal the deal.
Predictions? Knicks in 5 games. Pacers might be one of the best offensive teams right now, but they're also one of the worst defensive teams in the regular season.

I hope Giannis will stay with the Bucks and maybe they should trade Lillard, he is a liability on defense.

As for Giannis and Dame, I think both will stay with the Bucks for at least one more season.
Yeah, I guess one more season for the duo to give them more time to blend. It will be interesting to see who will be on trading block after the season is over. I have a feeling Middleton will be up for a trade too.
As much as we've heard Giannis that he will ask for a trade if the Bucks will not be a competitive team this season, I also believe that he will stay. After all, the results might've been different if him and Lillard played together. If Giannis was healthy, they might win the series. Anyway, I also believe that he will stay, and play with Lillard. They will not change their coach as well despite their performance on the playoffs.
