Hello, everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Nix Film School Pre-game show.

My name is Andrew Claudio, and it is time to preview another Knicks playoff matchup, this time in the second round of the 2026 playoffs.

Not against the busted Celtics all year.

I had to hear about the unbeatable Celtics, the Missoula Ball Celtics, the team out for revenge, the team that was going to put belt to ass on the Knicks in the playoffs and avenged

Jason Tatum and how last year was a fluke.

Start to look like that title a couple years ago. It might have been a little bit of a fluke, to be honest. Uh, the New York Knicks will not be playing the big bad Boston Celtics. Instead, it is a rematch of the 2024 matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. We will get into them in just a second, the sixers. This season did deal with some injuries and a timely Paul George suspension

of 25 games that may have actually given him the break he needed to come back for the playoffs

and shoot 55% from three. But the Sixers do presents some matchup issues and we'll get into it throughout this

conversation. Hope you've enjoyed this marathon day of next film school content. I'm going last

here between the entire crew. So I hope you've enjoyed our entire staff putting up a pod

on your Sunday. So we made sure that she had something from everybody today.

And joining me to fully preview this series from the opponent's perspective, a returning guest

that you all love from the you know ball pod trill bro dude. I got to start here, Trill, and just say, congratulations. I know what it's like.

I know what it's like to be Boston. It's a pretty fucking awesome feeling. Congratulations on

Joelle and Bede's first game seven win. Congratulations on the sixers first three one comeback.

And just in general,

just a pretty exhilarating comeback victory overall and a playoff
