I'm pretty sure they are, I saw a pic from yesterday in the farm, they hadn't bothered it from Monday night.
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

I admit that checking the scoreboard was the first thing I did when waking up, just to be sure it happened ;-)
Just after the game, it was a strange feeling, like if I had watched highlight of previous games, but not real a real game, especially a playoffs game :-)

They were looking terrible because Sixers were perfect on offense and defense, but they were over gearing, and there was no way they could keep this energy for a whole game. It should have been enough to keep this lead in many cases, but not this time.

I'm not sure about that, I think playing big help to make them work and be tired later. As a second half weapon, I'm OK for playing smaller, but not in the first half, they would be in higher foul trouble IMO.

We kind of did both: Bigger on the front line with Cap, Collins and Gallo then we had a small backcourt of Trae and Lou.

Very dangerous play, this could have ended badly for JC.
