6ers series so god-awful.. expect the worst reffd series ever and then at least you won’t be too disappointed.

The Celtics got 15 second chance points per game vs the Bucks, I don't think that will be the case vs the Sixers who are the best rebounding team in the league. Their offense is going to struggle to score and there won't be many 2nd chance opps for them to score, if the Sixers take care of the ball and control the glass it should be a 5 game series.

Funny yet will probably have to be revisited in 2 years based on karma

Definitely. The curse of Hinkie is already in full effect. You guys have Colangelo now. Can't wait to see the band aids that will be applied to your franchise over time. Enjoy.

Amen

We had some good back and forth discussions with Heat fans, and they were great, but at least the argument threshold level was kept, at minimum, 'civilized' and above.

If If and buts were candy and nuts...

The Celtics may never be fully healthy again. I agree they are paper tigers for sure.

There’s bad on both sides of the fence.

I think the 76ers can reach the NBA finals whether they play Cavs or Raptors next round.

Rozier rocking a Drew Bledsoe jersey to the game today... I though the two of them squashed their whole beef? In any case, gotta love the pettiness in the NBA.

Not very impressive when you consider Embiid shooting like 1/13 from 3 when “guarded” by Horford.

So horford, when defending Embiid, had no part in embiid shooting poorly from three?

Interesting.

Do you think it did?

You are basically equating poor shooting as exclusively the shooters fault.

So you are relegating NBA defenses Moot.

Would you feel the same way if the statistic showed that Embiid made Horford shoot worse? or would it be just that Horford shot poorly?

I hope this is the best series of the second round. Utah vs Rockets looks like it’ll be lame. Pelicans vs GS looks like it’ll be lame. This series and Raptors vs Cavs should be great.

Sixers in 5.

That's petty on Rozier's side. He already eliminated Bledsoe and he's still not done trolling? He should be concerned with the sixers now and forget what happened on the last series.

He will probably shoot 4-16 today

I don't wanna dig into your posts, but you were here supporting the Bucks and I'm pretty sure u had them winning or did I miss something?

No I didn't? I was supporting the bucks and hoping they'd win but I didn't think they'd win. I just looked at all my old posts and I never said anything of the sort....?

I did say the bucks would rather face boston than the 76ers, but that's not because I thought Bucks would win, it's because I thought 76ers would sweep the bucks.

I love it.
"Players are too buddy buddy"
"Oh this one's being petty"

Make up your minds, Embiid is a massive troll too let's not forget and I love it.

On paper 76ers should win this series no question. I do give the C's a chance though, it depends on if JB can come back. If the C's win it will probably go 7 games. If 76ers win it will go 5 or 6 games.
