Woulda been really nice to have a really good perimeter D player on the court here.
They literally just couldn't get a stop. Ridiculous.

Don't know why the Celts would tank. Seems like you really want to get that 3 seed. Especially with poor teammates that can't play in away games...

I think the tanking is specificallyforthe 3 seed, and to avoid the 2 seed and a possible matchup with Durant in round 1. Had they beaten Milwaukee last night (and pretty likely they would have if Tatum had played based on the way things played out), they'd have been almost a lock for the 2 seed and a potential Brooklyn round 1 series. Sixers did the celts a great service by losing last night, can basically see how Milwaukee does tonight and Sunday afternoon as well as how you guys do tomorrow and determine whether to win or lose against Memphis Sunday night to secure the 3 seed.
So we're in the 4/5 matchup against a super-hot team without one of our best defensive players in the road games. I'll say Raptors in 6. But at least Doc started playing B-ball Paul.

Thybuille is an idiot. Now he gets his 1st vaccination but too late to be eligible to play in Toronto. Why the fuck are you getting it now if it doesn't help you get eligible for this series?

I think he got his 1st shot last summer or something. Doesn't make any sense. What a lousy teammate.

That's not what I read. It's worse than that - he comes from a "holistic" family/upbringing. He got his initial/1st shot last year, but then felt that was "enough".

I didn't see that he got it last year. Geez that might be even dumber. so he's a half-wit.
I still think the Sixers win the series. Next round is probably their ceiling this year. Next year is the championship window after Morey can replenish the bench in the off season.
Maybe this is the real reason why Thybulle wasn't included in the Nets trade?
I still think we can win...if we get a middle ground of the Harden we saw in the first couple weeks verses the last couple weeks since the trade. That guy who's still one of the best passers in the league, but with a lot less lift, but who also makes more of his open shots that he missed the last couple weeks. I think we can win with that guy for the time being....definitely will not be easy Our starters have more talent, but they're like gnats who never die and will out hustle you. We need to match that intensity.
Also think we have a decent shot if Miami's the second round opponent.
THANK GOD its a 6pm tip on Saturday. Will be on the golf course all afternoon. Phew.
I feel like Harden has been holding something back since those first couple games. Hopefully I'm not wrong!

^ You think? I hope your right. But I have a feeling the hammy still isn't right and they're just not saying so. Having a week off should help.
I "think" - um, wishfully.
Next time DJ is in the game fans should start a B-Ball Paul chant to mess with Doc.

Did you see Doc's condescending answer to Derek Bodner when asked if he regrets not paying him before the last few games? Doc is such an unlikeable guy. Not a fan.

Yeah as I've seen his "do you know who I am?" routine gets old. Or how dare ever to be critical of valid concerns.

His answer of only playing Jordan on bigger 5's and Reed on smaller 5's made zero sense too as he refused to play Reed against anyone prior to the last few games.
Yeah Doc comes off as a real knowitall jackass, like he's the only one who knows a basketball is freaking round. That was perhaps the most eminently fair question asked in years by a Phila. sports writer. Doc's response should be up there with "I got mixed up because my 2-point conversion chart got wet in the rain."

I know everything happens in a vacuum, and in a normal world a coach in his 2nd season shouldn't get the most scrutiny, but the microscope has to be put on Doc now. All the changes that can be made have been made. If they come up like completely, woefully short then I want the crosshairs directly pointed at him.

I just hope all 20,000 fans wear their masks, even if the guy next to them is eating and drinking without their mask. Gotta stop that spread
If they don't make Conference Finals Doc is gone. Despite his denial he wants back to LA

I like before the game they were saying "Can Maxie handle the post-season pressure yada yada" - anyone who watches this guy knows the answer to that.
The fans' B-Ball Paul chant is Philly fan legend - up there with the EVA chants of 2008. Thousands of fans sticking it to their own coach during a rousing victory. Gotta love this town. I'm pretty sure Doc is gone no matter what - if they win 15 more games he'll be in LA before the parade.

Because it's easier to inspect 20k people walking into a venue with a mask on than inspect 20k vax cards. I really still do not understand the inconvenience of all this. God forbid, you'd think you're being asked to have your dick cut off. THE TYRANNY.
They should walk in this game, definitely expect a closer game. But it's absolutely crucial to take both games before heading to TO without Thybulle.
Yeah they really need to win with Toronto being so short handed tonight.
How did you feel about Harden's game on Saturday? I'm good with that kind of performance out of him, at this point. Basically, if Maxey is this budding star, or possibly a fringe all-star caliber player, I think this new slower/but still master playmaker Harden can be a good mix with him and Jo. He just needs to realize his role.
Definitely need him to hit 36%+ of his threes and make more of those shots around the basket though.
