Would be nice to see the Sixers get the chance to start making their mark.

damn did i miss the raps-cavs series?

The 76ers need to put Simmons on the post with Embidd and have McConnell run the offence. Have Saric and Reddick coast for the 3pt shots. If Boston’s defenders jump inside, pass it open for the outside shooter.

The 76ers are killing the play clock by having Simmons hold the ball if he cannot shoot it from a distance.

Celtics looking like the more talented/composed team...and this is within their two veteran all-stars and Brown....Simmons playing bad and JoJo is at least fighting

This makes me think the Celtics would be Light Years Ahead of the 76ers at full strength.

It makes me think 3 quarters isn't enough to reach that conclusion.

Celtics at full strength are for sure better than current Sixers, though.

C's at full strength would win the East. Only LeBron going to Philly will change that next year. People can disagree with they like.

I don't disagree with that.

Why exactly did Celtics take timeout when just few secs were remaining?

Robo_Claw · Post #1535 » by **Robo_Claw** » Tue May 1, 2018 2:02 am

Redick has been surprisingly good for the Sixers. Was out at the bar In Orlando a long time ago and turned around to see my friend punch him in the face once. Did not go well.

You won't be watching any Cav sweeps, they're the worst team left in the EC.

This is modern basketball. Team who shoots 3's better will win. Against Miami 76ers shot like they were possessed and today... they are missing all the wide open shots. On the other end Boston is making all the shots. Most likely 3 point shooting is the thing that decides these series (and NBA champion to be honest).

They are shooting well but they are getting some wide open looks to go along with it.

this doesn't make any sense...if that's the case, then Rockets should be winning the championship this year :lol:
