We're good for sure, but I think the disparity says more about Atlanta than us IMO.


Just watching Philly x Brooklyn and I can’t imagine Boston as flat as Philly is right now, with such little offensive firepower.

No probably not, but Brooklyn have a lot of defense now as opposed to the semi open door Atlanta have.

I just tuned on.. Not sure If I can stomach watching this game.. Seeing Embiid fall to the floor on almost every shot attempt is such a joke.

How many open looks can a professional team miss.. The f****** nets are living and dying with 3 but they are actually getting good looks and still can make any..

U betcha.

No **** around.

Sixers gonna sweep.

We better also.

Play 48 - 42 is ok if we are up 25 with 6 minutes left in Q4.
No more **** Q3 giving away leads.

This is a diehard sixers fan. Sixers have some delusuional fans, but this is one of the realistic ones who knows they will get smoked by the C's.

Read on Twitter
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

It’s still all about getting to the Finals as easy as possible. Extra games, extra minutes played when you can do it for less — unnecessary. I will not forget how gassed the Cs were after Raps series in 2020 all because we failed to check OG’s corner three and how Cs had little in the tank for the Warriors after getting banged up by the Bucks and Heat.

It’s not about fearing the Sixers same way as it isn’t about fearing the Heat. We can beat the Sixers. But you want the Cs as fresh as possible for the ECF and Finals.

We own the Sixers though. Shouldn't be more than a 4 game series

Not THAT confident against them. But I hope you’re right.

Nah, I'm with you. But that seems to be the way a lot of C's fans are feeling

Great to be confident.
Overconfidence, not bringing it & not playing the right way = kiss of death.
