I don't like a playoff series that the home teams win every game, So if this is going to be like Celtics vs Bucks series where both teams won all their home games than this is not a series. 76ERS GET A ROAD WIN SOMEHOW SOMEWAY.

Simmons is a legit cheap shot artist. That's his 3-4th cheap shot in 5 games against us.

he cops 5 a game from flog opponents. if smart didn't want a smack in the head he shouldn't hold off the ball. cant do the crime and not expect to do the time.

sixer shot terrible in their only loss to Miami. tonight they shot 19% from 3.

Boston made 12 more 3 pointers shooting 48%.

can Boston do that all series and will the sixers shoot that bad again?

no and no.

There is no one in the Sixers who can guard terry. They also won't be able to guard Tatum or Brown. Tatum destroyed whomever was on him.

Philly shot terribly, but I don't see the athleticism on the wings to guard boston.

Going to have to find a way to keep rozier out of paint and guard al on pick and pops.

When bucks did well, they were really physica! With rozier and hit them in every opportunity. Who does that on this 76ers team?

Also, al is criminally underrated. The guy does every single basketball skill 4 of 5 stars. Nothing great, everything very very good.

I don't know where you read me say it will be a walk in the park.

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.

You're wrong.

Humbled? Are you serious? I predict the series will end the same way Vegas does and you say I'm being arrogant.

What would actually be arrogant would be to say an inferior team like the Jazz will win in 6 against a superior team like the Warriors. That would actually be cocky and arrogant.

I said yesterday to my Celtics brothers and sisters that I had a hunch this series might go like last years Celtics/Wizards series. Am I right? We'll see, a lot of ball left.

But the Sixers are not the Warriors so this wasn't a shocker to me tonight. It was fun yes, but it wasn't anything jaw dropping by any means.

Anyway onto game 2 now.

Smart is one of the few legit tough guys in the league, stop it. Simmons is the bitch for throwing elbows there, put your blinders away.

tough guys in the nba? thats crap. there are a lot of guys who carry on like they want to fight when they know nothing will happen.

the 1980's nba guys must piss themselves laughing watching these tough guys.

Isn't saying the Sixers will win in 6 games insinuating just that? You seem pretty confident about it.

LOL ok? For one, I never predicted my team to beat the Rockets, and much less after game 1. We could very well be swept, I'll be thrilled if we get a win or two, they are a horrific matchup. The Jazz had a great chance at beating the Warriors in the first round without Curry, but definitely not now. Also, do you mean the Jazz inferior to the Warriors or the Sixers?

with kyrie out , Boston has the best defence in the nba . Don't expect to shout well against them. They only Buck was shooting good was Midletton and he was making contested 3s .

If i was the Boston gm , i would trade kyrie and a role player for Davis. Their defence and coaching are their weapons, and their weakness the 4 position. Rosier is a starting point guard

Boston is set to get back one of their best defenders and a 20ppg scorer. The Sixers had one job - steal an “easy” game one without Bostons starting SG. Not only do they lose, but they **** the bed. We won’t need to shoot 48% from downtown.

You are going to hate smart even more. Guy shoots 30 percent and is indispensable.

He is like a guard version of Ron Artest and Dennis Rodman. He has that kind of defensive ability and annoys the he'll out of you.

Not tony Allen 1-on-1, but he gets you extra possessions.

These aint the Miami Heat. This is the Celtics, with the best coach not named Pops.

Sixers can win the series in 6 but it doesn't mean it'll be easy. All they have to do is win one road game and protect home court and they'll be good. Boston is also absolute garbage on the road as evidenced by the Bucks series losing all 3 games at Milwaukee so there's nothing wrong with what Arsenal said. I also think Sixers will win in 6.

If both teams shot league average from 3 tonight with all else being the same, the Sixers would have won by double digits.
