He tried, he couldn't and if OG guards Cade, Tobias will post up whoever is guarding him. We're a bad matchup for the Knicks.


Tobias with 22 at the half :roll:

Sixers fans so confused right now

Jefferson said Hill was a little more athletic than Cade? Grant Hill was crossing up Pippen and dunking on Mourning and Mutumbo with ease. Put some respect on Hill's name.

Knicks' defense non-existent this 3rd. They can't afford to lose this game methinks, they don't have the composure of playing behind in a series.

Mitchell Robinson is playing real well. Underrated contribution methinks on the defensive end and rebounding.

Nice call refs. Missed call and a missed basket called, maybe time for an ophthalmologist.
