And played the last 2.

But still been dealing with injuries for the last 2 months. I think last year was his only healthy season

He actually played more games this year than last year.

I suspect he will never be a 80 game a year player. 65-70 is probably his target.

Sixers in 5.

But, I think the game will be entertaining and fairly close.

Yeah. I think the games will all be close. But I believe that the Sixers will just have too much for them in the last 5 minutes of the games.

Haven't trusted this Sixers team all season. They should win this series, but it won't be easy.

My thoughts as well. I think this is probably the series I'm most looking forward to.

I'm going Sixers in 6. Brooklyn is scrappy and I think the 76ers have lots of opportunity to have some less than 100% games. I think this ends up being one of the more underrated matchups of the first round.

Should be a fun series.

The Rockets-Jazz series could be really interesting as well.

Pulling for the Nets just for Levert.

You think the Nets are going to win 2 games in Philly?

It all depends on how the Sixers defend. The real question is can the Sixers win on the road?

Why do you think the Sixers are any less or more likely to win on the road than most other teams?

Embiid is an immense talent but at this point he's missed three seasons out of five.

Same with Blake.

Raise your hand if you've heard this before....

Blake is questionable for the playoffs....

Happened 4 of his last 5 years as a Clippers.

It just how they've been playing these past several games on the road. Just laziness on D and ineffectiveness on offense because of lack of familiarity. I just havent been convinced lately that this team can just turn it on whenever they want.

 

[Mecca]

I dont know much about the Nets team honestly.

I will blindly go chalk and pick the 76ers in 5 games.

Gritty young upstarts with some good wing scorers.

Levert, Dinwiddie, Russell, Harris...

Well coached.

But, Philly has too much talent.

I would be cautious in putting too much stock in the past few games. They really didn't have a lot to play for I don't think they had their entire starting 5 in any of the games. I also think that Brown was doing a lot of tinkering to see what combos might work.

That doesn't mean there is nothing to be concerned about but I'm not going to get too worked up about it.

For that amount the Warriors will let you watch the game outside on a TV. But only if you bring your own TV and supply your own power source.

Seats are damn good too. Section 15 right near the Sixers bench.

There is a reason why I have not gone to MSG since Barclays was built

Nice, I'll be on the look out for the one guy in the audience sporting a Miami Heat jersey.

I have friends in NY and they've gone to MSG for the experience but to just to go and watch games they will always opt for Barclays.
