Consistent intensity, D, rebounding, move the ball, no TOV, make your shots.
Tatum for 40.
Step on their throats & silence the lunatic crowd.
Run Biid until he collapses.

Then they will roll over in G4 & we will win in 5.

Gotta win this game and give ourselves an opportunity to go up two games instead of down two, again!

Attack Embiid, continue the aggressive defense and they won’t be able to score enough points.

Oh and a big game from Tatum please. Five playoff wins and he hasn’t even had a clear cut VC worthy performance yet. Time to snap out of it.

If he is able to bottle that intensity and use it consistently, he'll be FMVP this year and MVP next year. I already think JT is amazing and love him but that is the last piece I desperately want him to unlock and go god mode.

Looking forward to Game 5 in Boston, when they raise the Marcus Smart Hustle Player Of The Year banner
up to the rafters... :lol:

C's don't need a monster game from anyone to beat Philly. If the entire team plays well Philly will get run off the floor. I expect a locked in effort from everyone.

I feel mostly the same. I don't expect anything except wins though, cause they can win even when they play like caca! all that talent has been a gift and a curse at times. cocky team that doesn't get up unless they have to. gsw were their match last season because they do it too but had the extra experience behind it. how we got the confidence of gsw without the chip to back it up i do not know.

The overconfidence may be because they've looked themselves in the mirror and thought "Hey, we just might be the most talented team in the league, top to bottom."

Posted this in the Gallo thread, but anyone know how true this is? This means he might be back this series against the Sixers, correct?

If the TNT Drone causes any trouble in Philly, Sham Penny's hair will swat it down like Medusa from The Inhumans...

A fiance who gets tickets to go to ComicCon IS ideal.

I don't want no split. Take the next 2 and finish them off in Boston in 5.

Best case scenario for Gallo's return is the finals.
