Smart is lucky to shoot 30%, but Tatum shot 43% for the year and Morris was 37% for the year, so those percentages will likely go up, especially if the Sixers just stand there instead of running guys off the line.

LOL at you expecting Shaq and Sir Charles to understand math


Yeah - If you saw that bit from the other day where shaq was trying to tell Kenny how he could save on gas money by filling his tank up when it gets to 1/2 empty instead of all the way empty, you’d realize that is a lost cause. And to think he has a masters degree...

That's petty on Rozier's side. He already eliminated Bledsoe and he's still not done trolling? He should be concerned with the sixers now and forget what happened on the last series.

He will probably shoot 4-16 today

Hayward goes down and Boston is not supposed to make the playoffs. Then Kyrie just has his best season and the youngins play great and they were on pace for the 1st seed. Kyrie goes down then the talk turns into it will be great experience for the youngins but can't expect them to score enough without Kyrie. They win that series and Brown goes down and then the talk goes to it will be very hard to take a game or two from this Philly team especially with Brown missing a game or two, they go out and kill it in game 1.

I knew he was something special in his days at Butler, but man this is truly astonishing. Semi Ojeleye and Shane Larkin combined for 40 minutes today, one is a 2nd round rookie and the other is a dude that was cut by the Nets 2 years ago and was playing in Spain last year.

I'm almost as entertained watching his adjustments and moves he makes during a game, than I am watching the game itself.


He’s the greatest coach in the history of sports. He can literally take a lottery roster to the conference finals. He’s gotta be more valuable than all but like 5 players.

Philly should bounce back for game 2. It sucks their shooting was garbage and it felt like they were playing the Warriors with the way Boston was hitting 3 after 3. Not only that, but they hit timely 3’s that kept momentum from shifting to philly.

Maybe, play some defense then we'd shoot as expected.

Expected takes into account open vs. guarded percentages.

So after tonight you're convinced this will be a walk in the park, and Sixers will win 4 of the next 5?

Not even garbage time? The game is lost. He's the #1 pick :crazy:

His shoulder is injured. Give the kid a break, sheesh.

To me what you said because implies that. Seems a little cocky to say that when your team just got dominated by a team missing 3 of their best 4 players. I'd be a little humbled at this point.

It’s like it’s unthinkable for anyone to predict the 6ers to win the series .

No worse than anyone not named Embiid on the Sixers.


If Bellinelli, Reddick, and Covington were the leaders of the team, that might matter.

But it doesn't.


Yeah, it all matters if the Sixers want to win this series.
