Hopefully the 3rd times a charm. This will be our 3rd important Philly game recently and obviously the biggest one. Gotta show out this time.

I don't want to say it was wasted because we got to some Finals and ECF appearances, but we didn't maximize on what we had.


Not sad, that’s the game. Roster building is hard. The path forward is not always linear. We try and we get some things right and try again

Which is why I was cool with the Dame stuff falling through. It’s hard finding proper elite talent, but it also isn’t easy finding quality role players to surround them. It took the entirety of the season for Jovic to round into the player that we have today.

This season prepared me to not be surprised by any result from this game. Just a slog of a roller coaster.

Heat going on have to play two play in games. Whipping a bad team like the raptors isn’t enough to convince me that they can even win the 2nd game. If they somehow do, the first round will be over quickly vs the Celtics. They made their bed. I’ll hope for the best but not expecting much.

I’ll be getting my last discount Papa John’s tomorrow.

I won't say lucked out. I don't think they can beat Indiana with a banged up Giannis. Indy was a bad matchup for them all season long.

So we get to play Embiid hobbling on one knee and then Knicks playing with no Randle. Bam is gonna feast!
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

Interesting I haven’t followed their games vs Indy during the regular season. That being said I still think indy is a better match up vs facing us or the sixers. Indy still has to prove they can win in the post season.

I think my biggest concern going forward is can Herro and Rozier play together on offense. I know they both suck defensively, but I'm curious about the offense fit since they've both been playing well lately (Rozier before the neck issue).

Everyone counting out the Knicks. They are a LEGIT contender. They will beat Philly in the first round (if that matchup happens) and will likely go on to at least the ECF in that scenario.
