Is this series ahead more of a KAT series or a Brunson series?
Yeah, I mean, I think a lot of people are gonna be tempted to say, "Let's not broke," or, "Let's not fix what's, what isn't broken."
I will still go Jalen Brunson for a couple reasons.
Again, like Maxie, Brunson has the track record against this Sixers team.
Put up 35 and a half points and nine assists the last time these two teams played in the playoffs.
They don't have a great answer for him.
He could pull a Maxie into actions, pull a Embiid into actions.
All that being said, I think Karl-Anthony Towns still needs to carry forward his great play from the Hawks series.
He is going to have advantages that he could take advantage of, and I think as long as he does that, the Knicks should be in pretty good shape.
