If this team is serious about anything at all, they'll lay it on the line and win today.

Unless the other team is also serious and lays it on the line as well. Then either team could prevail.

If Doc is serious about this team winning, he will throw different looks at Brown and give Harden the space to operate. That is the biggest problem. Harden has the ball in his hands quite a bit, when he is off our offensive flow sucks and on defense don't allow Brown to hunt for Harden. The biggest problem though is Doc actually making a move. I said this in another post. I'm tired of this team always being a step behind and having to adjust to other teams moves. When are they going to adjust to the 76ers moves?

Let me just add this. Embiid is awesome. Injury and all.

A lot of people are down on Harden right now. But this is the man that won game 1 for this team. He is no bum.

No, we're going to bounce back today. This is a win today. It's not going to be easy, but we can do it. I think both Harden and Maxey have good games today.

If we lose today, everyone should take a week long break from the board. It's going to be a nightmare here with the trolls from other teams.

My guess would be a win today, but who the hell knows any more? I'd like to say it would be because of some great adjustment that Rivers makes, but if it happens it will be because one or two of the big three go off and/or we get real contributions from Melton/McDaniel/Tucker.

Better start making plans then because we're dropping this game, hell I don’t like doing this but I guarantee Celtics win today. I'm only suffering it to see HOW they lose vs IF.

McDaniels didn’t play enough last game. The minutes he did play were very good.

I expect a loss though.

I'm heading down to the game today (first live playoff game in 5 years!!). If we win, I'll set up a Gofundme for Thursday's game to keep my in-person mojo going.

Win or lose, games 4 and 5 are squarely on Doc. If he's gonna talk about "we've got to give the ball more to Maxey", then do it, ding-dong. Someone has to help take the pressure off of Embeard when they're getting slowed down....

It would be totally on-brand for this team to win this game so as to give us additional false hope to be crushed in game 6 or 7 lol.

Kova · Post #18 » by **Kova** » Sun May 7, 2023 6:38 pm

Hope the players are ready and we have a good game plan. It's a midday game so not sure if the energy in the arena will be adequate (it's Philly so I hope yes) but it's absolutely a must win game for us. Let's do it!

ExplosionsInDaSky · Post #19 » by **ExplosionsInDaSky** » Sun May 7, 2023 6:40 pm

This team has shown growth all season long when these situations have come up. I really think we're going to pull through and get this done.

Mik317 · Post #20 » by **Mik317** » Sun May 7, 2023 6:45 pm

i just want everyone to play hard.

go 4-25 and keep shooting for the 26th time. Get blocked at the rim 20 times Evan Turner style. It can't just be Biid.

I'd also like to see a new wrinkle added but thats asking too much probably.

No sad boi hours pls
