I was literally gonna use this exact term...

Clearly great minds think alike...

To me it has always been we are a great team when we are truly locked in..

Obviously too many times we are just on cruise control..

Champagnie looks like a lion running around out there haha.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

totally think it was to humble him and get him to shut the **** up with the refs.
Which, honestly, seems to have worked. If it lowers his market this summer too, so be it :wink:

He was becoming insufferable to watch with his attitude. When he shuts up and stays focused he's invaluable.

I think he needs to play more in this series as a change of pace player

I think he's perfect for when we're not moving the ball as we should or showing the right energy. Just spot minutes to set the tone and leave him in if he's scoring/assisting and not being a liability in defense.

I just hope they’re better prepared for game 3 than they where in game 1 . Take the momentum back quickly.

This team just doesn’t have it.

I am ready for the AoS thread for not winning by 50 to this Embiid-less team.


Wish we just forfeited the game and the series.


We did already.

Game 1 loss is why this team will continue to disappoint.

May as well give Philly the trophy for the impending ECF win.

Jaylen over Brogdon for me, Brogdon's defense has been ordinary but great otherwise.

Dude looked like a monster defensively. Looked pretty damn healthy to me.


This is why I was clowning posters saying the series was over after game 1, it was soft as hell.

Just like it’s not over after this game, but the Celtics are 100% the better team.


Nah. Specially since we are good on the road. But obviously if we lost today we would be in trouble. To beat them by a hundred with Embiid and basically without Tatum is a pretty big msg sent though.

Leave the drop coverage in game 1 and I fully believe we end this in 5.

VC will obviously be chosen from Brown, Smart, Brogdon and White. They have all the offensive numbers, aside from Grant's, and they also took turns guarding the Sixer guards.

Jaylen surely is one of the choices, with all his contributions being before garbage time. I think I'll just add Smart, as he and Jaylen were the two guys with the most conspicuous determination while the game was still doubt.
