Yeah, they are much better than Raptors fans, and better than Sixers fans too.

This is annoying, Celtics/Bucks game 3 is on Friday, and they last played on Monday, yet we have a day off to play our game 3. League doesn't want Jo to get better in time. Sucks...

It is kinda BS that half the teams get an extended break while the other half have to plod through.

Apparently those teams have their venues booked.

This is lame.

Also, it means our organization has got to get their stuff together, and heavily book our arena through playoff season so that we are in the same boat.

yup agreed. You'd think they'd have figured this stuff out by now with Jo having an injury nearly every playoffs.

Arena booking is a big factor, but TV rules pro sports and has for the last few decades. Paying those crazy prices for the rights makes them the straw that stirs the drink, thus all the prime time starts and virtual elimination of day playoff games. It is odd that we have gotten the short straw in both series, however.

I mean if he doesnt play game 3 and the sixers lose again is it really worth bringing him back game 4?

agree. It would not be if they lose. It's win today with or without him or his season should come to an end

They should absolutely shut him down if they lose tonight and he doesn't play, and really even if he does play and they lose (although that would never happen unless he aggravated one of the injuries tonight.

They last played on Tuesday not Monday. They also had game 1 a day before we did.

League is always going to maximize games played on weekends.

Always weird kinks to the schedule because of TV. We had a chance to get a full week off if we closed out the raptors in 5. Didn’t take advantage.

Philly plays every other day until game 7 if we make it. Like what the absolute ****? Every other day for all of round 2?

Laaame!
