2021-22 Game Thread: Knicks vs. The Ben Simmons-Less Sixers

The Knicks host the drama-filled Philadelphia 76ers, who are playing without Ben Simmons, who is out with a broken spirit.

Back-up center Andree Drummond and back-up point guard Shake Melton are out for the Sixers and Nerlens Noel continues to sit for the Knicks.

This will be a tough game for the Knicks, as Joel Embiid is the best player involved in tonight’s game, but Embiid is playing hurt (they just said he will likely play tonight, but it’s a toss up), so I think that the Knicks could pull this one out.

I’d feel a lot better about the Knicks if they hadn’t just lost to a shitty Magic team at home, but tomorrow is another day and you know Thibs will get them to give them their all tonight!

First…

ARE THE KNICKS STILL ON PACE FOR 56 WINS? Technically yes. That Orlando game was rough, though. I’m still feeling good overall about the prediction, though!

Let’s go, Knicks!

Now here’s the all-poll content…
