Man... if we only stayed at 3 and kept the Lakers/Sac pick. Boston gonna be the king of the east unless Lebron goes to Philly. Tons of respect for Boston. Most everyone picked Philly after the 17 game win streak, knocking Miami out quick and Boston with out their superstars.

I picked the Celtics to win this series.

He's great.

@flyerhawk, @Sparhawk , @knowyourenemy , @eaglesnut , @PhoenixEagles1 ....

You had a great Season and went further than some expected.

Add a guy like Mikal Bridges and you should he a force for the next decade, even if you don't get a guy like LeBron this Summer.

It was a huge turn around... I think the 17 game win streak and playing well V’s Miami got us sky high. They’ve got a ways to go just to catch Boston.

As great as the season was for Philly, and it greatly exceeded my expectations, it's still disappointing to go out the way they did. If they clean up some stuff they could have already won the series or be up 3-2 right now. They just shriveled up in crunch time, to no one's fault but their own. They'll need to clean that up next year if they want to make it further.

Man... the turnovers late in the game were just brutal.

No guarantee the Sixers even make it further. maybe next year guys like Lebron/Leonard will be on some new East Teams and make their chances even worse. Who knows. Boston will be at full strength next year too.

I guess you didn’t get the memo that we’re gonna flip the Lakers pick for the #1 overall and sign Lebron

LeBron won't go there. He'll go to Houston. They're only one piece away with enough veterans to win a few 'ships. LeBron is getting up there in age/mileage. He doesn't have a lot of years to wait around for that Sixers to mature age, gain experience etc.

I think Philly contends with Lebron... easy.

They would have to move a lot of players and James has said he won't take a discount.

Add in the Eagles super bowl run and I think many of us were very hopeful. Suddenly, anything seemed possible.
