It would be unprecedented for a team to be 0-4 against a team during the regular season, then proceed to win a playoff series against that same team.

Not only this season but in previous seasons, Boston has clearly had our number (even excluding the bubble sweep without Simmons).

If we can't beat them without Rob Williams and Jaylen Brown, I can't imagine there'd be much confidence heading into a playoff series versus them.

I may be wrong, but didn't we sweep them in the regular season and then get swept in the bubble by them? I at least know we had the edge in the regular season series against them.

No one will want to admit it but Ben not playing played a big part of us getting swept. He was our only playmaker and wing defender sadly.

He was a pretty good player before Trae ended his career in one play. A jumpshot away from superstardom.

I have faith more on our defense. Playoffs require stops and this team is significantly better than last year when they lock down. There’s been lapses but that’s expected in regular season. Maxey has gotten better. Melton and Tucker are key pieces added. Reed has improved. Harden can be great when he’s committed and healthy.

18 and 7 for Biid after 1 quarter. On pace for 72pts and 28 rebounds. Let's see if he can keep it up.

you'd think Doc would realize that Niang doesn't work in this lineup...House does. but nooooope

I still think doc should try a Embiid+Reed line up, but what do i know

Love Reeds defense but good god he’s raw on the offensive end

Why should he have to keep that up? Maybe he should get some help from his soft , scrub teammates .

Tatum - 8 pts 3-8
And the game is tied

The fact that Brogdan is so much better than Tobi and yet comes off their bench as a sixth man is mind boggling.

HardenGoat · Post #59 » by **HardenGoat** » Wed Apr 5, 2023 12:44 am

We all knew Brogdon was a steal. It’s almost unfair they got him for nothing

the only reason I don't get mad about Tatum is that my dumb ass wanted Josh Jackson over him

sooooo what do I know (I think I also was a Fox guy but only this season has he made me look less stupid)
