Series Thread: 4) Philadelphia 76ers vs. 5) Toronto Raptors

Need Embiid to put up a 40 piece. At the same time, I’ve lost that “belief” that this team can do anything. I was there already pre playoffs and then Games 1 and 2 messed with me. But I’m back to where I was. This is another exit short of the ECF.

Not feeling optimistic. I see a historic choke coming. Hope I am wrong.

I hear ya. It’s all about how they adjust to this lengthy no guard lineup. Counting on a Doc team to make adjustments is always touch and go.

Maybe

But I'm excited for the draft

Philly ends it tonight

What's he talking about when he says "Nobody gives me credit for getting out against the Pistons who won the title"? When Orlando blew a 3-1 lead to Detroit the Spurs beat the Nets in the Final and the year the Pistons won the title Orlando won the draft lottery and Doc was canned.

Detroit did win the following year to be fair.

Yeah, they also added Sheed, Prince was a shit ton better in his second year than his rookie season and Larry Brown wasn't the coach yet. The Nets also swept them in the ECF. Don't think you get points for blowing that one, Doc.

Oh, man. You gotta have more confidence in your team than feeling like one guy needs to score 40 points in order for them to win.

All true

Can't forget Darko, either

You guys think Harden put his big boy pants on?

He probably left them at the strip club.

They don't fit anymore.

Can he though? That’s the question. I don’t think he’s that guy anymore. Hasn’t taken 20 shots in any game as a Sixer. Shooting 37% in the playoffs that’s probably a good thing.

In doc I trust.....to make no adjustments and panic and watch his team fail.

 

[Darth Dawkins]

Barnes might be something...

Even if he was 100% correct, which he is not, it would be a classless thing to say to the media.

We all made fun of him for it, but Andy Reid after every loss would always say, it's on me. Even if it was Donovan McNabb doing some stupid shit in crunch time. Take responsibility. You are the coach. This was total bullshit by Rivers IMO.

Looks like Harden came to play, that's good
