    Sixers bought their own hype in this game ... didn't defend at all ( JJ on Tatum was a bad move)

    C-bags D is very good though.

    I still think Sixers in 6 .

    They defend at an elite level and their "role players" have been great at home .

    I know I may sound jealous, but it's so frustrating and upsetting seeing the C Bags be successful. They traded Isaiah got Kyrie, lost Kyrie and still made it to the second round. It's so frustrating. Even in 2007 when they got Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, it's not fair. I hate seeing them win.

    Need to get Markelle in there for those. And Simmons himself.

    Sixers will shoot better and C-bags worse . However Sixers can't score on halfcourt sets against the Greens D without Embiid .

    It's going to take more than 30 minutes of Embiid to win a game at the TD Garden , which is the key of the series since C-Bags shouldn't win a playoffs game on the road with this roster.

    @Weezy I'm equally frustrated regarding the C Bags. I just don't get how they are getting it done with so many key players out.

    They are the definition of "next man up". Terry Rozier was always good but I didn't think he would be this GREAT. Tatum was always good but I didn't think he'd be THIS good in his rookie year IN THE PLAYOFFS. Jaylen Brown I thought was a bit overrated...but he's showing out in these playoffs and making me eat my words. Horford is an all star but I didn't think he could CARRY a team in the playoffs.

    I'm very frustrated and I hope the Sixers don't blow this.

    He is a great coach, no question about it. But 6 days of little to no basketball will give the opposing team some rust.

    With all that said I would rather have the rest if we're debating which would you rather have. I also thought the 76ers would get back in rhythm during the game but never did.

    I still have the 76ers winning the series.

    He was impressive yesterday. I haven’t paid attention to him so I’m not sure if he is just now coming into his own, or if the injuries have given him quality minutes. But damn, next season the C Bags will be stacked, as will Philly. Lakers better get things done this summer with PG or somebody.

    I'm not sure how CLE can win this vs Toronto. Raptors guard duo is going to make the series very difficult for Bron.

    The Raptors are pathetic. They’re the Washington Capitals of the NBA. You can’t beat the worst team LeBron has had in like a decade? DeRozan with 18, Lowry with 15, these are your stars? Valanciunas has missed so many gimmes at the rim he should change his name to Kwame Brown.

    If they lose tonight, I wouldn't be surprised if they got swept. Pathetic.
