This team with its flaws looks determined and their chemistry is impeccable. Nice to see.

This team? What about the Sixers?
Never mind Al or not having Redick or Shamet.
Besides the stupid contract for Al, giving Harris a max deal may have been more stupid. I was wrong about Tobias. I thought he'd mature to be an aggressive scorer with the size to dominate his opponent and be an effective three point shooter.
In this series I heard it said that he is 0-15 from three. I don't even remember one play he made tonight! This guy s/b leaving it on the court and I don't even see him ... He's a friggin' ghost. This guy, along with Horford, is the reason the Sixers suck. He's got a vagina for God's sake. He is unable to man up in the playoffs ... thank God Danny didn't trade for him ... He was right. Mea Culpa.

I am glad we got Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Kemba Walker. Those are three bad dudes. I am so glad that we no longer have Al Horford and Kyrie Irving. I miss Aron Baynes - he was the Embiid-neutralizer! At least we know we won't play a team in the East with a better center than does Philly from here on out. RE: At least we know we won't play a team in the East with a better center than does Philly from here on out. Is Milwaukee & the Greek Freak not going to make it? |

We cant even put in words the amount of bad decisions the sixers have made in just three four years. And to think Brett is taking the blame is pretty awful. Elton Brand haa been really bad. |

Yeah, Baynes played tough down inside...Theis gives his all, just doesnt have the beef....not sure why Coach wont put RWill out there a bit...Kanter is good on the offense and has the size to play better D but doesnt seem to want to fight like Theis... |

Marcus Smart makes winning plays. It's not far-fetched if GSW does offer the #2 pick for Smart. If you guys have League Pass, check out the steal that Smart gets with 1:40 left in the 4th qtr. Not only did Smart steal the ball, he directly passed it to Brown and Brown ended up converting a 3-point play in transition. What a play! Smart could just have stolen the ball and not pass it to Jaylen. But Smart knew they had an advantage in transition. Again, what a play by Smart. Epic play, not to mention Smart passed it behind his back...Smart is crazy fun to watch....
Edit: Guess I was thinking of another steal by Smart...they show the clip in this article...

Smart is a great player but I do agree he takes bad shots/still can't shoot very well lol.
Does anyone else feel like when JT is in foul trouble, and Hayward has backwards anklesitis again, that Jaylen Brown should have been force fed like 25 shots? Run the offense through him instead of keeping him on the baseline as some sort of weird decoy? I don't get it. I know kemba finally had a nice day shooting but I cringe when he hoists up a bunch of threes without running plays. Get Jaylen more shots. He's the most efficient shooter on the team.

I believe Jalen needs a lot of space to shoot his jumper. If he's perfectly squared up it looks beautiful, but he's not like Tatum that can get a shot off when he's not Square. I would like to see him take a drive to the hole and Kick It Out most plays. |

Jaylen was also having a bad shooting night in Game 3. Kemba was the only one having a good shooting night. Compared to earlier in the season, before the bubble, Kemba has been shooting less 3s. |

The Sixers have nobody that can even think about staying in front of Kemba Walker. And they can't sag off enough players to get help. You can see why he said he'd never seen so much space.
When you can literally get into the 18 foot area and hit a shot 70% of the time, no sense in shooting many threes.

Not only the Sixers, when Kemba is 100% he's so quick and crafty no one can stay in front of him! He's almost wide open every time he shoots! |

And Kemba only played 19 minutes against the Bucks in the first game of the bubble.

Yeah if he was playing on our team from 5 years ago it would be like IT time only Kemba time every night.
