IDK if you're Baiting more, or Trolling more.
But, if you keep it up, you'll be Banned for the Series.

Biid or no Biid, prepare the same way.
Every game matters.
Every possession.
Play 44 with the D intensity you played with for the last 4 of 48 in G6 vs the Hawks.
REBOUND!
No TOVs - #7, Marcus & JT.
Move the damn ball - limit the ‘taking turns ISO approach’ by JT & #7 - unless it is the right time for it!
JT - stop the pull up 3s at 30% - go strong to the hoop - they cannot guard you - get to the line!

Celtics in 5 if we play the right way!
#18 is right in front of us - GRAB IT!

AND Joe - USE TIME OUTS TO RESET, FORCEFULLY HOLD EVERYONE ACCOUNTABLE & DIMINISH MO WHEN THEY INEVITABLY GO ON A RUN!

Sixers seem to be hobbled, I figured Boston would make work of them with Embiid in 5 or 6.

Seeing as this team has a tendency to play down to their opponent (even in the playoffs sometimes) I think it goes to 5 or 6 with or without Embiid.

Will the refs protect Jolin B from injury and call even more fouls if/when he comes back? He might not be 100% any of the series but I’m sure he can shoot free throws alright.

tl;dr:

-- It's possible Embiid's knee problem is overhyped.
-- Harden's play was elite before an Achilles injury (flare-up?) in March. The biggest fall-off is in his finishing at the rim.
-- Maxey is the Golden Boy.

Some sixers fans thinks they can steal game 1, because we have a tendency to lose focus at times. They are not wrong though. If our guys don’t come out the gate guns blazing and dead serious, i would be very disappointed. They should play with a sense of urgency at the get go. Play fast. If embiids out, we should attack them constantly and not settle for 3’s.

I think our biggest challenge moving forward in the playoffs is our coach’s lack of experience. Spoelstra and Tibbs are both better coaches than Mazzula.
