If they're back to usual starting five, is it KP on Embiid right away? Or do they put Brown then double? KP on Melton? Are they starting Horford again?

Got confused.about tipoff. Didn't realize DST ended there a few days ago. So this game starts later than I thought.

Weird that this game isn't on ESPN. Knicks-Spurs instead, the Wemby effect I guess...

That and the Knicks themselves (who have a low bar for them to be on National TV often). Plus NBA was unsure about the Harden situation and how that would affect the Sixers. Turns out they're better without him, at least for now.

The bright side is team is undefeated when we have practice, so maybe we'll just keep practicing into June when the kids on the team have already moved onto baseball season.

Honestly, it’s the best way to watch. Fast forwarding through 30 min of commercials and all the other nonsense and catching up by 4th quarter is my favorite way to watch.

Agreed, but the updates on my phone about halftime scores isn't ideal and as a mod I should probably be in the game thread live lol. And to tell on myself I used to avoid the game thread for years until after the game was over or the occasional time when there was a long delay for review/shot clock/Rob broke the rim.

I need to be here too, I cost us a win for partying for my bday with a seafood boil. If we win tonight because I’m here, there is no such thing as coincidence! I’m pulling up in 50 years even if it’s in a hyperbaric chamber, it’s settled! 81-1 regular season in full effect!!

I really hope MR Ball-movement himself returns. Since D White has been a Celtic, I believe the team moves much better with him on the court vs off. Eye test only.. But my eyes rarely deceive me.

Man, I know he was a replacement player that year but I think he could have still played. Oh well.

if it's KP, he needs to be more discipline with the cheap fouls. C's can't afford to have KP in foul trouble again. I'd start AL and go double BIG

If the Celtics don't win they are basically washed.
