If I'm a philly fan- I'm screaming SHUT Embiid down...
I was curious so I looked up this stat...
33 times
It has been done exactly 33 times in NBA playoff history. Teams falling behind in a series 0-2 hold a record of 33-416, which converts to a 7.3 win percentage.

Man! Mitch was so mobile back when he was skinny Mitch. That bounce and second bounce he had was incredible. Fat Mitch is still good but definitely lacks that athleticism he once had.

During Roomates Podcast with Clyde, Brunson explained why they play better on the road:
"Personally I've been that way since High School, all my best games individually have bee on the road"
Lets hope that rings true tonight!

I haven't checked the stats myself, but on the KFTV video I posted earlier, it was discussed about how the Sixers height had affected Brunson's play against the them even though we won 3 out of the 4 we played during the regular season.

If he could get somewhere in between that and today, i think it'd be perfect.

Yeah, but now he can stand his ground and not get pushed around underneath. Also, Mitch isn't taking as many chances trying to recklessly close out, which I don't think Thibs wants him doing anyhow.

Skinny Mitch was always getting pushed around but fat Mitch can hold his ground now against the bigger 5s while still being able to defend on the perimeter and block 3pt shots.
iHart does get pushed around a bit but he's so smart he knows how to play with positioning and leverage to not get exposed that much by guys who can muscle him.
Blockenstein monster and the Blockness monster are terrorizing everyone...the Knicks center two headed monster will haunt your dreams.

Let’s hope that rings true tonight!
The funny thing is that road game is the Villanova gangs home court and probably what will unlock Brunson.

I only regular season game Philly won against us was at MSG. We beat them IN Philly both times. With Embiid and Maxey...The only reason I'm not guarantying a win is because of all of the attention on the officiating of game 2. I will never trust the NBA.
Outside of that- we should win. I just think that as a team we are stronger and more prepared.
I also look at---that Brunson gave Philly the opportunity to steal the game 2 with 2:37 to go and OUR team (including Brunson) took it back and closed it out.
So honestly I expect a win BUT I wont be surprised if we dont get one.

I'm excited to see how this team plays in a hostile environment like Philly- being up 2-0 -with our star player
-coming off of two back to back games-- of terrible shooting...

I'm glad I got to see Starks and Spreewell play!
