Absolutely true. Win game 3 and then we can talk about what's ahead. I'm not sure even Glenn is capable of blowing a 3-0 lead against this team.

I think it will be the Suns.
CP3 vs Doc headline or
CP3 vs Harden | Ayton vs Embiid

But i know.. you guys will say we’re thinking too far ahead

I think we’ll face the Heat then Bucks. Whereas our path will be facing 2019 champion, 2020 finals, 2021 champ and 2021 final team.


I really think the Suns are gonna win the title this year, regardless of opponent. I’d love for Philly to make it and have a shot at the title but the Suns are so damn good this year.

If GS remains healthy, that'll be an epic series. I wouldn't bet against the Warriors.

The idea that a 6'3 guard could be a defensive player on the level of Embiid, Giannis, or even Thybulle for god's sake is ludicrous. Maybe Embiid will be allowed to win an award one day. I feel like 0-2 again sadly.

Speaking of Thybulle, just 10 minutes tonight. The coach has given him only 29 minutes in this series. An FU and trying to maintain continuity going into Toronto.


He's just not good dude. On either end. He isn't an impactful POA defender and he's a hindrance out there offensively.

Crazy to think this team will be even better next season with the increased chemistry of Jo/Harden. The growth of Maxey & Reed. The trading of Thybulle (who I think Morey's going to extract full value on), and the MLE to toss at a capable roleplayer.

Exciting times.

1 dribble and Maxey is two steps in front of FVV on every drive. That isn't changing in Toronto. Raptors need to figure that out if they want a chance in this series.

Good win! Yes, we had a slip up for a few minutes, but out of last 8 quarters, I'm pretty happy with 7 and a half of them.

Can't add anything that hasn't been said before. However, Raptors came out physical and we hit back. But they will come back physical again in Toronto. That's why I said I would love if we had brought James Johnson to the roster for the playoffs. He has game, but is also though and good matchup against though teams like Raptors, Heat..

Anyway, we need one W in Toronto now, and then close it out in Philly. Let's keep the focus!

I love the recent Tobias surge, but the only way to get depth for this team is to trade his contract. We're never escaping cap hell without that trade.

Luckily his recent surge made his contract more palatable and adding some Danny/Matisse/Shake combination to it could made for a good return.

If we don't trade him, we can still improve over the margins, if he kept this, by doing the same Danny/Matisse/Shake package for some athletic defensive wing who actually is decent on offense.

Integrating Bassey to the rotation next season would solve our bench 5 issues too

Exciting times for sure.

I never thought I would say this but I am loving some Tobias Harris right now. The way doc...I mean Harden has integrated hm into the offense is amazing.

When Harden first got here after the first few games all of the talking heads were like.....Now Harris is the odd man out etc, but James has made him relevant and a valuable piece for this team going forward. Amazing.
You want it to be one way....but it's the other way.

Or a valuable trade piece if he keeps this up. I still believe splitting up his contract into multiple pieces is the best way forward.
