I would love to have Jimmy Butler on my team. Good leader.

 

They were going off on Embid for reading his stat sheet on the bench when down 30 plus points...

 

Embiid should’ve just sat. There was no benefit to playing sick if he wasn’t ready to go. Getting torched all over the place now.

 

He was awful. Besides the horrendous passes he would mostly just camp out at the 3 point line. I know Toronto played great D but at times he showed to could get to the hole when he wanted. Effort was just s***

[connorp]

Everyone stroked Boston’s wang as a coming dynasty but it could go south fast. Kyrie goes, Tatum and Brown haven’t really developed, Hortford on his swan song, Haywood a cap killer, etc

 

I thought they’d come together come playoff time but hasn’t happened

lol

lol

 

You got something to say twinkle toes?

Fantastic job by Boston of showing how not to play an elimination game.

[Abomination]

GS with a 17-0 run! Yikes.

Durant may have just suffered a major injury. With Curry unable to hit a shot, it could be a turning point in the series.

Yeah... no...

[Abomination]

Yeah... no...

 

Still could be, but Houston had a golden opportunity and Harden disappeared lol.

The Bucks dealt surprisingly easily with the Celtics after the Celtics dominated game 1, and the Bucks bench looks like a real asset. I think they could push the Warriors a lot closer than many anticipated if they get past the Raptors/76ers.

 

Obviously if Curry, Klay and Durant all shoot lights out it doesn't really matter who the opponent is, but all 3 being on fire in the same game hasn't happened much in the playoffs this year.

[Krylian]

Yeah... no...

 

Losing Durant couldn't be a turning point?

[connorp]

So now Houston fans can’t cry about no Paul last year. Now GS is without their star player (who’s better than CP). We’ll see what happens

[connorp]

I haven’t read anything on Embiid’s condition but if he’s feeling better, tonight should be a good game.

[Carlos Danger]

Not going to lie, I am nervous.. I have a feeling this might be like game 2 or 3.. I hope to heck not... Do NOT want to even think about game 7.

 

I think Jimmy Butler will be very strong tonight..

I think Sixers take it tonight in a close one. Raps in 7

[Abomination]

I feel like we're gonna take this one, but not in a blowout. I actually think we could see a big night from Lowry.

[connorp]

Embiid looks really passive. Had room to operate top of the key but tosses ball high in the corner to a covered Butler.

[Carlos Danger]

Stop giving the ball to Ibaka to take shots if he is not on tonight. He could barley make a free throw and can't make a 3 to save his life. Use him for D and set up guys who can make a 3.

I know the Raptors broadcasters are biased but honestly ESPN is supposed to be a national broadcast and they're so obviously pulling for Philly.

Who is the *chick?? I guess I have not watched an ESPN broadcast of an NBA game recently..

 

Edit to add annoying..

[Abomination]

We have no intensity out there right now. That's not the effort level we need.

[Carlos Danger]

Man, they are making every three and we are making none.. We keep giving the ball to guys who should not be shooting threes.

 

They better tighten up before this gets out of hand.

[Boxcar]

Jesus Christ, they are just hitting everything

[Horses Fart]

What time is tip off on Sunday?

[Boxcar]

Wow, what a great game this is

 

HELLO

GET THAT GAHBAGE OUTTA HIYA

[Carlos Danger]

Missed 8 consecutive 3's. 2-12... ESPN is good for something.

[P2F]

Nice run; it's a game again.

[Boxcar]

3-16, Jesus that's bad

[Carlos Danger]

Why are we fnnn leaving these guys open for 3 point attempt rebounds.. Wide open...Our African combo can't hit a three to save their lives...

[Abomination]

Those last two possessions hurt.
