Unbelievable game and series.

Jalen came f*ckin through. Never gave in. Our leader and franchise player. Future champion and hall of famer. A True muhfuggin Warrior.

Donte heard the doubters, and stepped the hell up on BOTH ends. Hit big shots and shut Maxey’s ass down. Played the whole 48 too. Beast.

Josh is always on. Even if you unplug him he will still be running around like a damn nut giving the other team nightmares. Sunk the DAGGER too.

OG had some massive momentum changing plays. That dunk was NASTY. He was everywhere warping all over the court. Even he needed to show emotion in this one.

Isaiah and Mitch both had their ups and downs against Embiid, but held it down enough to get the job done. It’s not easy guarding that filthy flopping fool.

Deuce didnt play much in this. He played some good D and knocked down a tough 3 towards the end though.

And there you go. This is what being a fan is all about, and makes it worth our time. We have been deprived of great playoff games and series like this for too long, but we have risen. We are resurrected. The league isn’t ready for us, as this is only year 2 of our ascent. New York stand up! Indiana come get some.

I’m still wondering if Thibs was enough of a difference maker. I think he was, but I have to ask.

Oh wait, so we advance already? I still feel a bit unreal.

Donte’s block on Embiid gave me confidence.

I'm so glad I don't have to see Paynes ugly shot and his stupid ass celebrations after every made bucket anymore.

The Sixers may have been the toughest team we could have drawn this early

While I'm not going to consider any team "easier" I feel like our ability to impose ourselves physically on a team should improve with Indy.

They may have some crazy scoring stretches or even blow us out in a particular game with their offense, but it feels like we can match up and also score more easily against them than vs. Philly

Philly is a gritty team that knows how to play ugly. Not so sure about Indy's ability to do that

Jalen is the King of Underdogs. He is too small, too slow and not athletic enough, yet he just keeps getting better. The league should get behind him as he can give any kid hope of making it in the league with hard work.

I'm here for the Island of Misfit Toys energy this team brings.

I really don’t see how fans who followed this team throughout this season can continue to question Thibs’s coaching abilities. Winning 50 games and getting the No. 2 seed with all of those injuries is worthy of high praise. And now we just knocked off the Sixers on their home court.
