76ers choke like they always do

team to beat in the East my ass

no Kyrie, no problem, 76ers continue to be Boston's bitch

 

[Gman]

Embiid kinda helped gift that win to the C's tonight... too much floating outside, too many outside shots... he arse should be nailed to the post at almost all times...

... but I've been saying that for years now, and I'm glad he doesn't care what I have to say.

Choke? How?

 

[Bolts]

Would have been an even better night if the Grizzlies had won, but at least somebody helped.

 

[Taddy Mason]

that had to be the line of the night for gamblers, though, no? fuck if I wasn't a sixers fan I would have loved to have bet on the Celtics. get them every time

 

[Kold]

Oof, I don't know if Luke is gonna make it

The much maligned Gordon Hayward coming up huge tonight.

Does anyone have any Tapatio?

 

[Gman]

Does anyone have any Tapitio?

Heh... neither of us were wrong, though... guy hasn't been himself...

... but he couldn't miss tonight.

Philly has to run him off the 3 pt line, because Gordo has no explosion going to the basket.

 

[Taddy Mason]

Choke? How?

it's mental, which i think constitutes a choke. sixers have been up and down against the celtics, yet they always seem to lose. quite frankly, it sucks.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Spurs were in a bit of a free fall as well....not exactly pulling away while both LA teams are fading.

But 4 straight road losses to Sac, GS, Utah, and Portland are somewhat "acceptable losses"

A loss to Memphis would have been killer. The Spurs are not a good road team at all.

The schedule does get a lot more easier for the Spurs in the next month thankfully.

His trip to Cancun will be extended.

Defense, great coaching and hitting timely 3' by the Celtics tonight. They contested Sixer 3's very well. On the other hand the Sixers gave the Celts wide open 3's all night. 14 turnovers to 6 (again good Celts D). Harris going 0-6 from 3 pt land also hurt bad ... he needs to be that compliment to JJ and he came up lame tonight.

 

[Mecca]

I know.....I'm starting to prepare for it.


But, that post was for a Cavs fan.....Hawks beat them twice.

They smacked the Clippers too.

Pre-trade.

 

[Mecca]

It's hard to count the Clippers out, they have too many tough players. For the Kings sake I'd like them to go on a losing streak, but it might not happen.

Tough.

But, they don't fit together.

Zubac and a undersized Montrezl are our only Centers.

Temple, Beverley are just taking developmental minutes away from that bust Robinson and my 2nd favorite Clippers, Shamet.

Lou obviously didn't get the memo about tanking...lol

Gallo should be out for the Season shortly.

Green is a big ole....meh.

Bring on the ping pong balls!!-

 

[Bolts]

I think it's time for LeBron to rest up until next season.

Montrezl looks like an all star against the Kings, it's frustrating. Lou needs to calm down because he won't stop scoring. Gallo helps too whenever he plays. The team should care about missing the playoffs to keep that pick(and not let Boston have it). We'll see how serious they are about that after the all star break.

Gotta give the guy his due.

He played well.

The only reason people ride him is because of unfair expectations.

Some of us penciled the Celtics into the finals before they even played a game.

For me, I was expecting Gordon to be Gordon.

That was silly considering the severity of his injury.

Management did their part....lol

Doc needs to give Robinson all of Lou's minutes under the guise of development.

That would do it...lol

Yep... I had the exact same unrealistic expectations...

Tonight was the best I've seen Hayward play all year, in a big game to boot. And I'm happy as a fan and happy for him...

BUT...

It was all shooting... he was on fire from outside. Still haven't seen any explosion going to the basket and consistent finishing at the rim.

Hopefully that comes back... if not this season then next.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Oof, I don't know if Luke is gonna make it

Rumors and speculation is that he gets fired this summer - Some say that Magic wants to bring in his own coach, but honestly - I don't think Magic has done all that great of a job - some say that LeBron would have signed with the Lakers no matter who was in charge.
