    Definitely didn't see that outcome happening.

    Didn't see someone dressed like this to have a playoff career high in Boston

    You can clearly tell who watches our games and who don't. But cool, we're the underdogs again, lets get it

    Soften competing with his former teammate Brick and of course Kuz for worst dressed.

    Why is Soften dressed like a teletubby?

    I think they are just complacent. Same happened to Atlanta. They seem to feel that they can turn it on when they want, but sometimes it doesn't work and they're learning it.

    I think they may get surprised by the Heat or Knicks who are both very hard teams who never give up.

    Good to see they will need to sweat a bit more to get through Philly.


    Harden is leaving in the summer. Doesn't seem to have any chemistry with Embiid. Embiid was all cheerful and enthusiastic celebrating with everyone but with Harden he just gave him a tap.

    Well, well, well... that was vintage Harden. I am impressed. Boston so sloppy, not focused enough. If they lose -- Miami to the finals please. :)

    OMG Harden took the canopy fabric from his hotel and wore it.

    well that wasn't something i was expecting

    too bad it's just a tease. without a healthy embiid there is no way philly wins this series unless harden plays like this every game (he won't)

    If the Lakers play the nuggets. TT is going to have to play some minutes against Jokic, if they meet in the WCF

    44 and 45 minutes for KD and Book, CP falling apart with another groin injury.

    Their bench is trash! Of the available 240 minutes, the bench cobbled together 71 minutes and made TWO baskets and 4 points on 16 attempts. Holy s*** Batman!

    At least one of you predicted CP3 gets injured and doesn't finish in the playoffs this year. This was at least a month ago. It was at least one of you. Not that it takes Nostradamus (I'm joking).

    I think the story here was: PHO - led by Booker telling the press before this series he expects to face the Lakers for the WCF - looked like turd in Game 1, had to come out strong in Game 2, but faded. Their bench: 4 points for the entire game. If Denver wins Game 3, everyone has full clearance to start comparing PHO's move to get KD to DAL's move to get Kyrie: mercenary loserville.
