Playing pick up in the morning.
Watching Wemby live in the afternoon.
Celtics/Sixers in the evening.

Besides Banner 18, it's hard to come up with a better sunday of hoops.

Must win game for them. This is the time to step on their throats.

FINISH THIS.

VERY FEW TEAMS COME BACK FROM 3-1.

JUST PLAY LIKE WE HAVE THE LAST 2 GAMES.
D, REBOUND, MINIMAL TOV, CONSISTENT INTENSITY FOR 48!
MAYBE JT GOES FOR 40. IF THEY KEEP SWARMING HIM, #7, Al, BROG & DERRICK CAN SCORE THE POINTS.
DO WHAT YOU DO, MARCUS!
STAY ATTACHED TO BIID, GRANT.

IS ROB OK?

AND THEN WATCH THE KNICKS V HEAT HOPEFULLY GO 7 IN A BLOOD MATCH.

I hope Harden is having nightmares of the man in the black mask.

We'll have to hope that the good Celtics show up on Sunday.

I love the Real GM headline "Bucks Could Wait for Head Coach under Contract with Another Team" under a picture of Doc Rivers. Let's win the next two and send Doc to Milwaukee so that Giannis will be an also-ran for the next 10 years.

Embiid 41 min and only 42h rest between games. Doesn’t sound good. Sixers shot better % from 3, shot more ft’s and possession battle was roughly even yet lost by double digits; doesn’t sound good.

Celtics have generated 49 open or wide open 3’s in game 2; 38 open or widen open 3’s in game 3. Doesn’t sound good.

You know what sounds good ? Going up 3-1. Stay down philly; y’all ain’t in our league.

The Celtics have developed the reputation of messing around with teams/in situations where they should win the last two years. This is an opportunity to shed that label that little bit. Go out there, win this game, and take control of the series and my guess is the 76ers fold and its over in 5. Lose and it gives the 76ers life and it could go 7. It would be nice to wrap this up, get banged up guys some rest. I thought a major reason they lost in the finals last year was having to play two seven game series leading up the finals.

Just took a quick jaunt in the 76ers board and they are crying about Harden not giving the ball to Embiid for a transition three. They think if Harden had passed, Embiid 100% makes that shot and they win the game.

Got to step on their necks. They will be feeling tired and doubtful. Let’s leave them no doubt that they are inferior and will be going Cancun soon enough.

Stating the obvious but Boston will do themselves a huge favor if they won and went into Boston game 5 for a potential close out game. We will see what happens at this point it is impossible to guess which Cs team is going to show up.

There is this idea out there that the Sixers would be better off playing without Embiid. Harden had a great throw back game in game 1 but without Embiid the Sixers just don’t have near the talent to beat any playoff team in a series let alone the Celtics. Their best chance is for Harden to step up. I know he has a reputation for choking in big games but in his prime his average playoff performance is pretty amazing. Older players can still have epic games but it’s harder to bring it every night. Can he recover the burst he had in game 1 playing every other day? If not this series is over.

Cinco de Mayo is over so Harden might have more in the tank for games 4 and 5.

Feels like the first sort-of-“big” game of the postseason. Let’s get it!

There's also this headline:
https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/271452/Milwaukees-Uncertainty-Is-What-League-Is-Watching-Right-Now

-Bucks lose to 8 seed
-Budenholzer fired as coach.
-Rumors that Jrue is gonna retire when his contract is up in 2 yrs
-Middleton a free agent this summer, could be gone
-everything going off the rails in Milwaukee, so wouldn't shock anyone if Giannis asks for a trade
