I'm not feeling well and haven't been online much the last couple days. And that game certainly didn't help lol.

But wanted to say congrats on the big win last night Sixers fans. I don't know what the hell my Celts were doing but you guys were really good. First game in the series where Philly just flat out looked like the more confident, better team.

Hoping my guys bounce back of course. I guess we'll see.

Celtics looked like the better, more confident team in games 2 and 3 and the fourth quarter of game 4. They've already won 2 games in a row in this series, and Sixers should keep that in mind and not get complacent in game 6. Rooting for the Sixers, but nothing is set in stone. Hoping for a good game tomorrow.

Respect.

It sucks when you are sick and your team loses. I have been there.

I had the Celtics winning this in 6 before the series began.

I will now switch to Sixers in 6.

My weird advice is - don't watch. That's what I always did for teams I root for. If you miss the game and find out later they lose, not bad right? It saves you all the pain. You put down the phone, stay away from realgm, spend the rest of your day with your family. If the box score pops up in 4th quarter they are up by double digits, hell yeah turn on the TV and enjoy the final moments of the win. Best feeling in the world. If they are up by 10 I start watching with 10 minutes left, if they up by 5, 5 minute, etc. gradually postponing it to keep your chance of watching a heartbreak to minimum. I turned off my TV for HOU-LAC G6 4th quarter back in 2015, I still believe it was the best decision ever.

It's a win win situation as weird as it sounds because you actually don't get to watch the game :lol:

I gotta stick with my original prediction, 76ers in 6

jfs1000d · Post #8 » by **jfs1000d** » Wed May 10, 2023 5:08 pm

Better team should win right? Celtics In 7.

But, 76ers deserve to win the series. They must have be amazed how Boston doesn’t play hard.

Gotta give Philly credit. And give Doc credit.

Celtics have a coach problem and a strategy problem. They gotta get back to defense.

That's some pussy **** there. Why even get invested and root for a team in the first place if you're going to be too scared to watch when they actually play? Personally, when I have a favorite team playing a big game, I make sure to bet a bunch of money on them too so that I feel the pain extra when they lose and feel the joy extra when they win.

With some score and time modifications, this is what I frequently do. I think I would have had a aneurysm on Sunday had I watched the game live.

You are not wrong, but we can look at this both ways - as a fan I am willing to sacrifice everything for my team win, including the fun of watching them play. It's not just being too scared to watch man.

Thanks for telling us all what the "Iggy McFrack" standard is to watch sporting events. I feel much better knowing it.

Anybody but the Celtics...

Celtics cant lose 3 stright right?

But its not looking good of they cant stop Embiid and let one of Harden/Maxey off

Last game i was surprised by how easily they let the Sixers walk into shots and get rhythm in the first quarter. Im hoping to see more intensity from the jump.

On offense they have to punish Embiid camping in the paint. You have to think Al will hit some open jumpers at some point. But i dont like Tatum attack from the top of the key and i would try to get him closer to the rim, which hopefully leads to easier shots before embiid rotates over.

Anything can happen, and usually does with us. I remember Dawkins boxing in the finals and slugging his own team mate, Collins in the head, turning the series around. But last night was the first time in the playoffs that the Sixers looked like a team.

DPOY level defense from Embiid during these playoffs...

You’re one of my favourite Boston posters here, as you give credit when credit is due. Get better bro.

Who wins Game 7??
