My sons baseball game that was cancelled earlier this week was reschedule for game time Friday. My fiancé got tickets to go to Indy ComicCon on Sunday months ago and it’ll be during game 4. This is not ideal.

I'd be happy getting 1 out of 2 in Philly, getting that HCA back. But I'd prefer going back to Boston up 3-1.

Crazy that our best player has not gotten a victory cigar yet in these playoffs, after running away with it in the regular season. I hope he gets back to form moving forward. Don't get into foul trouble, JT. It throws you off your game.

Time to ruin that MVP trophy night! Bring that same energy from last night in Philly and we could potentially run off the next three!

Bring the same focus and defensive intensity from game 2 and this team will take care of business. Nothing would make me happier than stealing game 3 during Embum’s MVPity trophy night

:o man I would be on suicide watch.. But of course I am mentally unstable.

If it was me, I would try to record it and watch it later like it was Live.. Hoping no one tells me the outcome first.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Nothing from the first 2 games has changed my opinion that we are the better team and a tough matchup for Philly. But with that said anyone who can truly have faith we "Bring it" the same way we do when we "need to" is lying to themselves.

18 can be ours.. We need to take it...that sums up everything for me.

Look for adjustments and more intensity form Philly
We need to be prepared and bring our A game again
Play fast, keep the intensity and anger and all will be fine

I want Kornet and PP to be the highest scorers in this game

I'm hoping for a sudden case of diarrhea only curable with a couch and a tv.

No one can beat us the way we played last night. When people get upset over losses it’s justified cause no one wants to see a waisted opportunity here. As we don’t get many of these opportunities in sports. Shots are not always going to fall. Just bring this intensity on defense every game and everything will work out. The first seven playoff games were concerning with the blown leads, no defense, turnovers. But yesterday is what we are capable of and I know for a fact talent wise we are the best team in the league.

We are only better if our 3’s our going in (70% of our offense). Our defense is elite if it shows up. So far their defense is better than ours the first 2 games..it’s just we rained 3’s on them and that shocked them.

I don't mind the number of 3's we took last game because we also took it to the rim plenty as well. Like you said they went in, but it wasn't some crazy high percentage either (only slightly above average). Al was 1-8 with some wide open looks and some terrible, not even close misses that could have made it a blowout much sooner. Even with his 1-8 it's hard for me to say he shouldn't take those when he was 3rd in the league in 3pt% for the year and was WIDE open.

I want a monster Tatum game to crush the Sixers soul. Win this game and I can already see the Sixers giving up afterwards.

Sixers can't be feeling good knowing Tatum is coming off of a 1 for 7 and 7 points game. Game 3, Lookout!

I think the sixers win 1 of the next 3. Idk which one that is gonna be though. I could see them winning one at home or losing both and then winning game 5 in boston. Either way I'm sticking to my original C's in 6 prediction.
