Hey, at least we got under the luxury tax.

also Doc going to Dedmon in a fast pace game is also a sneaky terrible decision tonight

Bleh i said previous to this two games i fully expected to lose them.

Team must be tired as hell, is what it is.

Issue is, we're most probably gonna get destroyed in Denver too. Altitude, 3th game in 4 nights, weeks on the road.

Terrible decision Dedmon in the second half.

Team looks exhausted. 3rd seed it is. At least it won’t feel like we’re missing out when they rest Joel and James down the stretch. You can also see just how important James is to this team.

Looks like I made the correct decision of not watching .

What a mistake by Embiid to play in this game, he should've rested and prepared for the Altitude.

This should have been a Harrell game. The Suns weren't playing with size and we NEEDED his scoring off the bench.

Maybe just maybe this team is doing a low-key tank to get the 4th seed and avoid Boston in the 2nd round.

I can certainly see the logic in that, practically speaking, but if that's how they're conducting themselves they'll never get anywhere in the playoffs. Running around scared of playing certain teams is completely inconsistent with the mettle needed to win a championship. You don't tank to get the #4 seed to avoid playing a team and then suddenly acquire championship mettle a month later. If your identity is that of a pussy, it'll remain with you.

I knew not to watch this game and glad I didn't. It's going to be a brutal second round series with the Celtics. They needed to have a better record pre all star break when they had arguably the easiest schedule in the league for 60 games. Need to flush out this coach and find some way to fix the bench yet again this off season.

Please stop. It's pretty obvious he was being facetious.

The worst possible result this season would be a tough second round loss to the Celtics where injuries or bad luck of some sort could be used as rationalization to run it back with Glenn with minor retooling.

It really needs to be the finals or bust.

It will be anything but a close series, don't worry it will be a beatdown, we win 1 game max, but I wouldn't discard a repeat of 2020 series :nod:
