It must be nice to have a bench that actually shows up

Looking forward to Tatum & Brown breaking up 8-)

To be fair, their role players have been bricking houses the whole year before the playoffs.

They just seem extremely confident since the playoffs started. Their confidence level went up a notch after beating the Bucks.

They have pieced together an absoulte crazy run thus far despite being undermanned.

Maybe being the 8th seed takes the pressure off them. Guys have nothing to lose.

I won't even need to go into the coaching bit..

Really infuriating listening to them talk about the Heat's undrafted players, and the developmental system, the way they are treated as 'superstars'. It's no mystery why - they identify players who fit what they do, bring them in and develop them to be useful pieces. What a concept.

Hopefully that will change under a new coach. It really doesn't matter what players you find if the coach refuses to play them.

Brown is playing like he's already looking for the exit, and Tatum is who we thought he was. And we let them off the hook.

It really is incredibly satisfying to see Miami expose this Celtics team.

That, and it's a pleasure to watch a well coached team. It's a minor thing maybe, but how about Spo's time out in the first half as soon as Boston got a couple of scores in a row to cut the lead to 17. Glenn would have waited until it was single digits.

I have to get off the Glenn thing. Maybe it will sink in eventually that he's gone.

On the one hand, we suck. On the other, everyone sucks? The superteams are extinct and we're left with a **** ton of parity.

A sweep would be a beautiful thing. I want turmoil in Boston.

Why do they always do sideline reports about Al Horford giving an inspirational speech? I feel like the media is trying to get him to run for president or something.

This just magnifies the 76ers choke even more.

To me, it's pretty pathetic that Horford needs to give inspirational speeches during a time out. Reggie and Van Gundy were pretty much knocking it, saying go make a play instead of talking.

Another good TO by Spo, making sure they don't let down in the last minute and a half.

76ers must be really bad to lose to this trash team

Arsenal · Post #896 » by **Arsenal** » Mon May 22, 2023 2:20 am

We really should consider Chris Quinn for our next coach. Perhaps he can bring some of that Spo magic.

The 76ers saved themselves more embarrassment by not facing the heat who would have pulverised them in 4

If we are using next year as a reset year, I'd love to look at some good younger assistants, but Morey has made it pretty clear that he wants a veteran.
