IKR? I'm an early riser (5 a.m.) so I guess I'll be a zombie Friday morning...unless we win, then I'd be able to run a marathon.

5 games

108.6 ORTG
127.1 DRTG
-18.6 NRTG
This is the only lineup used in all 5 games so far
Not many coaches are going to bench their starting 2-guard in the playoffs. Especially someone who has been vocal about Thibs.
Big fan of Divo, but he needs to hit his damn shots. If he can't rise to the occasion, it makes it easier to include him in a trade.
i agree but it's not just about him making shots... something is just off with the lineup and we do way better when Deuce is in there. I would even consider giving Divo some of Hart's minutes and give more minutes to Deuce.

Game 7 will be a nail-biter and we’ll have a 2pt lead with seconds left. Maxey will hit another half court three at the buzzer and point at Brunson with one hand and Thibs with the other and mouth “Y’all my b****”
Life of Knicks fans.

What's off with the lineup is spacing and Divo not being able to hit anything consistently. The lineup right now is basically a poorer man's version of our Robinson/Randle/RJ/Grimes/JB earlier in the year. You can live with Josh's shooting woes (except for free throw misses; that's inexcusable) because he contributes much more to the game. If Divo isn't bringing anything on offense, 76ers D gets a lot more comfortable. I said this a few times, but Divo's 3-4 minutes of great play can't really make up the 15-20 minutes prior to that. I like Divo a lot, but 33/30 shooting isn't cutting it. McBride did play more minutes than him in Game 5. But I think McBride's D yesterday was slightly less than what he usually brings.

I'm not re-watching game film but I feel like Divo isn't getting many open looks. their defense is respecting him and not leaving him open at all. maybe he could be flaring out further and chucking 27 footers but for the most part it's not like he's turning down or missing a lot of good looks.
