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

[Jack Straw]

Holy crap

 

[Halladay]

Ben almost threw that away.

 

[Embiid]

OMG...….

 

[Embiid]

LMAO.....Jimmy! Resign him tonight!

 

[Embiid]

I cantz beeleeze mine eyezzzz!

 

[Jack Straw]

 

[sa cyred]

I hate the word clutch.

But J Butt is literally the definition of it.

 

[Jtown]

what just happened

 

[Jack Straw]

Butler is Mr 4th Quarter

 

[Halladay]

As long as they don't collapse they will have the third seed.

 

[Embiid]

That Butler stance after that shot.....classic!

 

[Jtown]

Ben almost threw that away.

that last sequence is what drives me craxy with this team. Embiid gets the rebound. Simmons needs to make himself a non option. Sprint up the court with your back to embiid, and embiid stop passing to simmons. Simmons has to do better than that lob, thankfully nothing bad happen.

Spread... -3.5

 

[Embiid]

That Smart incident was a catalyst to waking the Sixers up...

 

[Jack Straw]

That Smart incident was a catalyst to waking the Sixers up...

I don’t think Sixers fans will forget him if they meet in the playoffs

 

[DancingPanther]

Spread... -3.5

That's a bad beat Scott van pelt

 

[Lotusflower]

Needed this one in the worst way and the refs + Marcus Smart came like mana from heaven

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

from a big mental hur4tle to finally beat them is huge

 

[deadhead]

This game showed how much they've been hurt by first the Fultz fiasco, then the Zhaire Smith injury.
Smith was drafted for the Celtics, an ultra athletic guard who could shadow Irving and make him work hard, then be able to bring Reddick off the bench without exposing him to gross defensive mismatches.
Sixers simply didn't have anyone to guard Irving or Rozier.

Milton can score off the bench, but I'm not sure he's quick enough to cover top guards.
He is back after the broken finger, and might get some PT before the playoffs.

 

[Jack Straw]

It’s on...

 

[Ruck Over]

There was much consternation and gnashing of teeth during the live play of the game. Who here still thinks that Brett Brown needs to be fired after this Sixers win?

TRUST

THE

PROCESS

 

[Schwarbomb]

Never a doubt.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Figuring out how to beat this team is part of the process. For every young core on the rise, there’s an opponent that you have to grow to overcome. It takes time.

You have a coach who is seemingly beloved by your two young stars. That’s by far the most important thing in this environment.

 

[Jack Straw]

Perfect
