From what I saw from the Cs this season, they might do the opposite of what you're asking. :lol:

I want JB or JT to dunk on Embiid. It feels like it has been a long time since either has had a statement dunk...either getting blocked or rejected by the rim lol.

If being rejected by Embiid in an attempted statement dunk results in a 34 point win for Boston every game, I’ll take it.

Huuuuuge game, especially for Philly. If we steal this one on the road, MVP night, they will fold! "Embiid will be saying it's not a rivalry again'! LFG

Why not both?

Can someone explain to me why the knicks keep getting more days of rest in the playoffs than any other team? In the cleveland series they had 4 days between a game and now against miami they have 4 days again. Wtf?

A fiance who gets tickets to go to ComicCon IS ideal.

She was the one who really wanted to go even. Neither of us has ever been and never felt it was really my scene but she wanted to get pics with some Walking Dead cast members. I’ll go into it with an open mind and I’m sure we’ll have fun.

Still got several weeks left, before the Finals.
But, I don't think that he could jump in the Rotation now, anyway?

Forget JT, we would have won by 50 if Al hit his 3s at RS %. So much improvement we can have but everything is based off our defensive effort.

I’m getting greedy. I want a gentleman’s sweep.

Brothers was out West last night, maybe he works that whole series. That’d be a huge break for us.

Tatum should be fresh for this game

Yeah, zero chance he plays in the postseason even if healthy enough. He hasn't played all year. Unless it's garbage time maybe.

I think he could take Hauser's 10 mpg if we needed him to. Not so sure it's an upgrade though, as he won't be up to game speed. Although, he was never a fast player. Teams target Hauser on defense already.

no chance we see Gallo, nor should he crack the rotation. Remove Hauser and add G Will like we did in game 2 and game on!

Foster was good to us last season, however we lost the game against Atlanta where he was the official. Imo not the best draw we could get with Harden and Embiid at home. They are notorious foul hunters. Celtics will have to maintain their discipline

chrisab123 · Post #58 » by **chrisab123** » Fri May 5, 2023 2:05 pm

Yeah Boston is losing tonight but will win game 4. NBA knows the Celtics are more talented. Take the Sixers and the spread with Foster refereeing

Larry_Russell · Post #59 » by **Larry_Russell** » Fri May 5, 2023 2:38 pm

I expect a win.

PLay defense, take care of the ball and attack and there is NO TEAM in the league can can even sniff the dust off these guys.

No excuses, compete.

I need to know the line to know if this is good news or not.
