Gather round folks. It's Game 4 this Sunday at 1pm (man, I despise afternoon games). If the league gave these teams anything less than 2 days in between Games 3 & 4 to cool down, there would be a brawl. Though, that still could be on the table.

Yeah, I wouldn’t rule a brawl out entirely.

I am eager to see another player stepping up, yesterday it was a nice surprise from Payne, who will contribute this time?

Honestly I am holing out hope that Buddy "Regular Season" Heild actually shows up. And brings his buddy Tobias "The Assassin" with him.

Also Embiid will have had 3 days to work on his game. And keep getting into shape. Melton gets time to practice and maybe even play. Buddy has more time to work on his shot too. All positive things.

Tobias has to “go off” eventually, right?

Also dating back to March 31 the Sixers are 10-2, would be 11-1 if not for g2. Something to hang our hat on.

We would certainly welcome another player or two who can score 20 points outside of Maxey or Embiid, but I find it more important that our guys can consistently make it difficult for Brunson to score throughout the entire game, limit McBride and Bogdanovic's scoring off the bench, and at least match them on rebounding and transition points.

If we can achieve that while Maxey and Embiid perform their roles effectively, then we are likely to win the next three games earlier than the Knicks win their next two games.

It has to be Payne again. He's the only one besides Maxey capable of getting the defense off balance with his driving ability.

Agree on Hield, I can see him having a breakout game if he can just see one or two go down.

My only hope for Tobias is for Nick to let RC have some of his minutes, see what kind of impact he can have. Nick's best rotational move in the series was getting Tobias off the floor to close games.

At this point i doubt Hield sees any minutes tomorrow, Payne should get them.

If Melton is really available as the team says, then more reason to not play Buddy.

Nurse has also been benching Tobias for crunch minutes since the Play-in. I think everyone, including Tobias, has just move on and they're waiting for the offseason

I'm going... think our seats are what was in the "Knicks section" on Thursday, so I've got to be prepared for that. ugh... I suspect it will be like what a normal Sunday game at the Linc is like, but I'm not really into that vibe.

If you take out the "in" Tobias is nothing more than double ass.

Just spam to hell that **** they did on the 3rd quarter where Lowry sets screens to get Brunson switched onto Maxey or Joel.

I just don't see how the Knicks counter that

I'm really looking forward to seeing if this team can step up and make this series a best of 3.

If we can get Melton some minutes, I see that as a boost for the bench. I would like to see him on Brunson, if he is healthy enough. We just can't totally depend on Jojo going for 50, someone, anyone, needs to step up.

Energy costs nothing.

This series has been very nervous for me to watch because I truly believe we can reach conference finals and I want to test the Celtics again.

I say if we win today, we’ll win the series.
