Game 5: Knicks (3-1) vs. Sixers (1-3) | Tue Apr 30 7.00 pm. TNT 

Post#1 » by sixers4real » Tue Apr 30, 2024 5:12 pm

Okay now, it’s my third game thread in 9,5 years I’m here.

The record is 2-0. Both were after we got Harden.

The last one was when we beat the Knicks on the road in the second Harden game as a Sixer.

So.
We are 100% when I make a game thread.
We are 100% when I make a game thread when the Sixers play in New York.

I live in Moscow, game is 2 am to me, but this is the first time I’ll watch the Sixers live since game 7 in Boston 2023.

In Sixers I still trust! Let’s go!

P.S. for those who know me and wondering if I got some German beer, of course I do! :D

When the game gets tough focus on Tobias jokes. We won’t see him again in a Sixers jersey.

You could be the team’s best rebounder right now based on your current passion and energy.

Im gonna sleep this one out. So basically, we’ll be exchanging shifts.

If we win this game, im not gonna watch any live Sixers game until the streak will be broken.

Life (and you know why) has taught me be a happy man. And I am. Very much I am. Happy to be alive. As is all of my family.

It’s such a joy to be rooting for a team in the NBA. I’ll take all of that today. Win or lose, I love being a Sixers fan let’s go!

Knicks are confident. Too confident. We have our backs against the wall. So we win this easily. Same with game 6.

Then we lose game 7 in the most painful way possible. A 20pt leads dwindles down to 1 point. But we're still up 1 with the ball, 2 seconds left, no timeouts. We have trouble getting the ball in, Embiid and Maxey both sprint to an open spot on the floor. They collide. Knicks get the ball due to the collision, they hit the buzzer beater for the win. The collision causes injury to both Embiid and Maxey and they're both out all next season.

Even if we win there’s no chance it’s “easy.” Should be a close dogfight again, and I expect us to fold late as usual unfortunately.

Shame we couldn’t win one more game without Jo which would have meant the #6 seed and an easy first round win.

Harris (the Sharp-shooting Assassin) needs to show up tonight. Enough of letting Hart, Divincenzo, and Brunson hold their own against him. If Hield gets minutes, need some 3s. And Nurse needs to find a way to instill some confidence and energy into this team in the 4th.

Preventing the season from ending today should be quite the incentive. We'll see what that does.

BBall Paul has literally $14m of incentive to win tonight and the next 2 games. His guaranteed money is on the line so I expect him to show out.

As for Assassin, I believe he's already locked in with Detroit or another team with an under-the-table deal. So I expect nothing.

Either we win, or we never have to watch The Contract in a Sixers uniform again.

Which would be the big max contract piece everyone is wondering about. Just the thought is comical.
