holy shit that Sixers hawks game yesterday was insane. can't believe the Sixers even were able to come back and put it in range like that but the hawks are going to be a problem because I don't think they'll lose at home.

i’m not too shook about this series, doc made the necessary adjustments and we shot like shit. i think we’ll come out with more intensity next game and it’ll be closer. i’m def not counting this hawks team out though, trae is becoming like reggie miller 2.0 the way he makes people irrationally angry with his hoopin

It's the hair/brow/goatee combo. It drives people insane.

If Atlanta wins Tuesday-at home, after stealing game one on the road (unreal that Philly let that happen)-the series is over.  76ers have one game to figure out how to stop Trae, and if it is by doubling up on him that leaves someone open on a team stacked with nasty deep shooters.  I'd be slightly shook.

we lost by 4 after being down by 20 something. doc just gotta keep matisse on him and we’ll be fine.

I have nothing but respect (and fear) for the 76ers.  But it isn't totally clear whether or not Doc figured it out or if Atlanta just started choking (which happens with us). 

Atlanta 21-2 (13 straight) in last 23 at home.  They were missing multiple starters in those 2 losses.

idk if you can call it choking with the shooting percentage y’all had

That last quarter was pretty bad-i mean, it was probably a combination of Philly figuring some things out and the Hawks collapsing.  I think thats about as likely to happen again as Atlanta opening up a 20 point lead on the road in the first half (not likely).

we put matisse on young for the last Q which might explain it

The nets made the bucks look like a college team tonight. They couldn’t miss. I don’t think they can come back from this but I hope to eat my words.

And if this nets are firing on all cylinders against the sixers it might just be a wrap.

Yeah it doesn't look like anyone is going to beat the Nets.  The instantly assembled/bought superteam thing sucks.
But the Nets are going to kill the Hawks next round, not the 76ers 

[BallDontLie]

I think (and hope) Brooklyn/Milwaukee will be a barn burner

Welp... didn’t age well. Thought the number 1 offense versus number 1 defense would make for a good series...


And in all fairness, i can’t be mad at Brooklyn. I mean I can, but super-teams ain’t going anywhere. Imagine if they had a healthy Harden AND LaMarcus had he not retired.

Long as we get picks 1-4 in the lottery....picks 5+ End up with OKC. Kind of expecting that to happen honestly though.

Got any prospects you're interested in for the draft?

[BallDontLie]

Cade Cunningham out of OK state is my number one for sure. Evan Mobley out of USC number two, even though he’s a little more raw than Cade.. both only 19.

March Madness was actually super fun to watch this year. The earlier rounds at least.

Nah.  Good game last night though, 1-1.  See you in ATL, where Philly will not take a game, just like the Knicks.

It's just game 1. I already had my "the sky is falling" freakout after game 2 of last series, so I'm just gonna see how the rest of the series goes

LOL check out Atlantas home record since we got our new coach then hit me back.  Legitimately one of the toughest teams in the league at home.

No the bet is only that Atlanta wins the next two games at home, you win, philly wins either or both, I win

[DaleSr]

I love the stakes being raised in here. Unfortunately i will not be making any sort of clippers bets because i already feel like God made a Job like bet with the devil to see how much suffering he can inflict on me to break my faith in the Clippers
