OT: Teh Philadelphia Seventy Sixers are here to Shake part 2

[Schwarbomb]

I liked this but I didnt mean to. I think we beat these guys tonight and in a series.
Boston doesnt look more dangerous to me than Mil or Tor.

I hope we get them at some point in the playoffs so we can finally put this BS to rest.

The best predictor of the future is recent history, they haven't inspired any confidence that they could deal with the C's. Maybe a win tonight could really help their psyche.

I think history tells you nothing about this team, basically the only players with "history" are Embiid, Simmons, TJ and Reddick [Amir hardly plays] - and Embiid and Simmons are works in progress. Everyone else is a "newbie."

Tonight should be a better indicator of what to expect in the playoffs than past history. The last time they played Butler was new and Harris was still a Clipper. Butler in particular has been looking good recently and is probably the best perimeter player (at both ends) that the Sixers have had during Brown's tenure. The game is in Philly, Boston isn't great on the road... I certainly feel a lot better about their chances tonight than say, last season in the playoffs.

I also think the Sixers will be significantly improved a month from now, though I don't think they're ready for a long run yet.
Resign Butler, Harris, Boban, Ellis and Scott, develop Melvin, Smith and Bolden.
This teams needs depth, and for Smith to start and Reddick to come off the bench (spare his legs and avoid bad defensive matchups).

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

I hope we can try and defend the 3s tonight

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Oh hey, they're still playing like shit the exact same way as every other game.

 

[Protest]

Every time I turn on a Sixers Celtics game:

"Embiid, Simmons, JJ, and Jimmy to the bench with the game tied up"

Followed up by

"This game was tied at one point but the Celtics have exploded for xx points in the last 3 minutes"

 

[Cody Webster]

Let's get a little noise defense here

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

40 points in one quarter, that's really solid D.

 

[Jack Straw]

Sixers only shooting 37% from the field. Just need to start making shots.

 

[Embiid]

Yup lookin all too familiar....I do think the Celtics are in the Sixers heads...big time. When the Sixers let guards like Irving get going early, it is a bad sign and typically makes for a long night.

 

[Embiid]

Building and team seem to have very subdued energy....

 

[Prongo]

They just can’t defend them. The Celtics are too athletic. They are almost always a step behind. Also doesn’t help they literally have nobody that can defend horford

 

[Prongo]

Does rozier have meth head teeth?

 

[Embiid]

At this point gotta hope we avoid them in the playoffs and some other team knocks them off...

 

[FLYguy3911]

Boston shoots lights out against this team every matchup.

 

[Embiid]

Depressing....

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Same shit different day.

 

[Embiid]

Depressing....

 

[Protest]

 

[Prongo]

Boban is such an ugly f***

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

why can't we play great against this team.

brown is always being defeated royally by stevens.

we needa new HC

 

[Prongo]

I love the walk doesn’t exist anymore. Although they did call one earlier lol

 

[Prongo]

Celtics will come out with a three play

LeBron killed the travelling call years ago.
