R2G7 - 76ers vs Celtics - May 14 330PM TNT

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

Guys, this is the most stressing pregame I’ve ever had in my life.
Ever.

Any suggestions of what to do?

I’m in Istanbul, it’s 8 pm.
I had 4 beers in bar, took a walk.
.

Sounds like you've got it figured out. I don't do alcohol anymore as it usually would get me in trouble, but I did exercise earlier this morning. I also find painting to be extremely relaxing before a big event like this. I'm painting a mural on a giant rock right now. Even though I suck at painting, it really passes the time up until tip off. But yeah...Take a walk, enjoy the evening, have a beer, don't get wasted...Save that part for if we start getting blown out Other than that? It is just a game. Anyone who truly loves this team I'm sure is anxious right now. I'm of the mindset that we're going to go into their house and take their lunch from them. Hopefully just straight up whoop their ass.

Oh and I just wanna say to all of you. Regardless of the outcome of this game (it could be our last ride of the year), it's been an absolute pleasure on here this year with you fellow posters. Ya'll are awesome on here, even when we argue. I've been a part of a few different forums over the years for different teams, hobbies, etc and some of them are extremely toxic. This forum right here has been a safe haven for me since 2003. Some of the most knowledgeable basketball minds I have ever come across are on this forum. From the draft gurus, to the ones that analyze the actual games. It's been a great place to not only learn, but gain different perspectives from fellow posters. In a way, we're like a family in here, each with unique internet personalities.

I’m so thankful that I have you guys, no kidding.

I don’t post quite often, but when I do, you always reply in a way I wished for.

Whatever happens today, happens.
I’m sure most of us are going to be back here anyways.

Great post, like wise. Been here a long time y'all are my internet family for sure.

It's not over yet. Let's wipe the floor with these bitches and go get ourselves a chip.

I like that the late steam has pushed the Sixers down to a 6 point underdog (from a 7.5 point underdog). The sharp action likes our chances. I think you'll get an A+ effort from our guys tonight. It will come down to who hits more shots.

[Ferry Avenue]

Not feeling good about this one.

I predict a close game in the fourth quarter that Boston takes over with the support of their home crowd and their closers.

[Mik317]

I'd be more jazzed about Doc getting fired...if I felt like he actually did a bad job this year....and that the replacement wouldn't be another retread with the same issues lol.

The sharp action just thinks we will lose by seven or fewer, possibly. They don’t like our chances necessarily.

Heat fan here, please spank the Celtics ass tonight. Good luck!

[yungsuessi]

Scott Foster reffing. Even worse, Eric Lewis reffing - whose games have been like 19-3 favoring Celtics wins, and whose extended family are all Celtics fans.

Sorry Sixers fans, including myself. While we can beat a team, but we can't beat a system that has f*** us over many times in the past, including f***ing up our ownership and gm.

Holy **** I really don't know how you can let Scott Foster ref ANOTHER Game 7 with James Harden after that GSW Game 7 in 2018. Wtf lol

The NBA can if it wants the Celtics to win, of course. A Celtics-Lakers Finals makes the best ratings, I suppose.

[MoneyMo]

Good luck Sixer fans

You just think you can beat the Sixers. You can't. One upset of a team that was much betters then yours all year is all you get. I know the Heat are some magical orginaztion, according to your fan base, and they are one of the best orginizations but you were a 44 win team all year and your still one. You don't have close to the raw talen of Boston or the Sixers.

[Embiid P]

Good luck Sixer fans

It should be illegal to let him and Foster ref Game 7 when there is a clear conflict of interest, but to the NBA, it's just business.

Dude, I came in good faith, no hidden agenda. I just simply loathe the Celtics and their players.

[eyeatoma]

No lineup change from us. PJ probably swore at Doc and said the hell I'm not starting. He's ready to go 7 for 10 lol.

[BigSleep333]

aight then...5 vs 8 again.

[Kobblehead]

The NBA wants the MVP deep in the postseason. They'll take care of us.
