    Or we're seeing the Sixers true identity against a quality defensive opponent rather than the inflated picture a 16 game winning streak against largely the dregs of the league painted in March and April.

    Time will tell.

    You don't win 52 games during a 16 game stretch (which they played mostly without their best player)....
    Completely agree, and whilst I do think it's possible for the C's to win the series, 76ers shot terribly yesterday and Rozier and Horford shot the lights out.
    Yes, the C's are a lot better team than the Heat, but 76ers will adjust and come back. I think it will go to at least 6 games


    Agreed.

    From a glass half full perspective with the Sixers offense: C's didn't double team Embiid at all and the Sixers still got 24 open threes (4 ft of space) out of 26 attempts. That just tells me a good three point shooting team just flat out missed a ton of wide open shots. That is highly unlikely to continue.



    I was thinking the same when i was watching the game(76ers missed a lot of wide open shots). I didn't realize it was that many though. I don't see that happening again if they get those wide open shots.

    And on the flip side, will Terry Rozier continue to shoot like he has?(He shot under %40 for the year). Hell, even Marcus Smart made a couple of 3's and he can't shoot.

    Ha...they finally called a lane violation on Lebron. They could call that on most of his foul shot attempts if they wanted to

    That is funny!

    Great game last night.  I was angry as hell at shot selection towards the end but they still won...

    drives me crazy how NBA refs reward harden with foul shots when he’s the motherfucker who initiates the contact. bullshit way to get your points, IMO.

    Curry too. Cant go near him.  Anthony Davis gets tackled and still doesn't get calls

    That's because the refs can't stop staring at that "brow"...

    But seriously, Harden should be called for the foul when he launches himself at a defender.

    thank you. if he makes the shot, it’s gravy for him. otherwise, the 85% FT shooter goes to the line, which is like shooting FG’s (2s and 3s) at an 85% clip.

    Well the Sixers met their match now.  Celts in 5.
    Dude, you are so easily swayed over small sample sizes. The Celtics played over their heads while the Sixers played well below theirs. Gonna be a long series, not a short one. 
    Yep...
