Series Thread: 3) Philadelphia 76ers vs. 2) Boston Celtics

[DJ]

I think your 76ers just ran into a more experienced team. Which sounds a bit odd to say seeing how young the Celtics are. But there's no doubt Philly's future is very bright.

I'm glad you brought this up.

Let me present this again....

"Horford has played in 99 playoff games.

Baynes has played in 33.

Smart has played in 31.

Rozier has played in 28.

Brown has played in 23.

Morris has played in 11.

Monroe has played in 11.

236 games.

Philly

Redick has played in 93 playoff games.

Belinelli has played in 53 games.

Johnson has played in 47 games.

Ersan has played in 28 games.

221 games.

So, the Celtics have 7 players who have been in the playoffs before.....and while the total amounts to just 15 more games, it's huge that 7 out of their 10 rotation players have been here before and know what to expect.

Meanwhile just 4 of Philly's 8 rotation players have been here before.

So, in summation 70% trump's 50% and 20% is not a small percentage at all.

I win."

And they have better coaching.

DJ's soft as a wet noodle picks:

C's and the under 204

 

[DJ]

The C's can't let the Sixers win this game.....they'd start to get too confident and it'd be a bad loss.

 

[DorianRo]

Chuck made a good point. The C's have to win this or they may lose the series. Sixers would be a better challenge to Cleveland anyways since the C's clearly are hurting missing their 2 best players. If the C's have to go 7 missing their two best players and play a well-rested Cavs team they're gonna SWEPT very easily

 

[DJ]

Why can't Hubie and Mark announce all the playoff games?

The C's are the team that has a better shot vs the Cavs because they have a better coach and more postseason experience.

Stevens would emulate what Indy did vs Cleveland defensively.

It was toasty here today.




Watch for DJ's weather report for Thursday at 11pm.

 

[DJ]

Good game so far and expecting it to go down to the wire.

 

[Four4Four]

And here we go with the turnovers !!!!!!!

 

[Iggloo]

Covington is killing us man.

 

[Four4Four]

The Sixers have to put Anderson and Holmes in.....if Embiid doesnt go for 30 or close to it, the Sixers might not can hang all game

 

[TheSnowdog]

Can Sixers cut Covington during a time out?

 

[knowyourenemy]

Doc got a vote.

There is no excuse for Stevens receiving zero.

I agree. Not making excuses, just trying to figure out how it could happen.

This is a dog fight.

NM. For some reason I thought it was 2-1, Boston.

 

[knowyourenemy]

Boston just lost the game. The team leading after 1 is 1-3 this series.

 

[Taddy Mason]

Can Sixers cut Covington during a time out?

They really need to give his minutes to Anderson at this point.

 

[DJ]

Belinelli was such a nice pickup for the 76ers.

 

[DJ]

LOL @ @knowyourenemy

 

[Gman]

Both teams making shots this 2nd quarter.
