I honestly think they’re just being precautious and resting him with a 3-0 lead.

Once Brooklyn makes it 3-1 they have us right where they want us. 

Maybe Stephen A Smith knows something? 

 

Some of you guys whine so much. Embiid this, Embiid that. Already expecting and preparing for a second round loss. Things in the past have been crappy but can we just let this play out and see what happens? Celtics lost yesterday, doesn’t mean they are losing that series.
 

If we sweep them today, he gets extended rest/heal time. If not, he gets a little break before we win game 5. If Embiid sits out game 5, then you should be concerned. 

Hey, if they lose in 2nd rd, in comes Wright.

Harrris, Harden, and Maxey trio carrying them right now. Close this out, get plenty of rest for Jo, and hope the Hawks can steal another game or two against Boston. 

Honestly one of tobias best games as a sixers considering the circumstance. God i hope he continues it next series vs. Boston 

also hats off to bball paul. He should’ve been given the backup minutes all year. He’s better than the garbage man dedmon and Harrell 

also melton was a hell of a pickup this offseason. Went bananas in the 4th

Melton is easily the best bench guard they've had in recent memory. Sure Curry could hit some threes, but he gave back just as many points as a complete defensive liability.

At this point I'm just assuming he either won't play again in the playoffs or if he does he'll be pretty much neutralized by the injury. Different year, same story.

If Miami goes on to beat the bucks, it’s going to be crushing that one conference finalist is gonna be Knicks, cavs or heat and the sixers will have to go through Boston to get there

Its absolutely Philly sports luck to see some sucky team in the conference finals after we once again lose to the Celtics.

It would be even more suck to lost to say the Knicks in the conference final.

If they can't beat the Celtics they don't deserve to be there anyway

I think Bucks were trying to see if they could steal one in Miami and Giannis plays tomorrow. 

I would love to go to Sunday afternoon playoff game at MSG. Seems like such a fun environment 

The Kings vs Warriors might be the best series this playoffs.

Kings played terrible down the stretch and Steph almost pulled a Webber

I tend to think the warriors win this series. However they are so damn awful on the road it wouldn’t surprise me if the kings just won every home game. I don’t see the kings winning on the road especially if it’s a game 6 where the warriors have their backs against the wall. the warriors for as awful as they were on the road, they are the exact opposite at home. The kings at home remind me of CBP when the Phillies fans finally got a playoff game after a decade and that place was super hard to steal a win until the Astros did it

It will be interesting and Kings will probably kick themselves because I didn't think Warriors played exactly well especially Game 3.

I actually thought before the weekend the kings best shot was game 4. I figured the warriors would play with everything to prove and send a message to the nba about draymond in game 3. Plus first playoff road game for a young kings team that really Barnes has the only major playoff experience. Game 4 i thought kings had a chance but they really didn’t play great yet still had a shot in the end. 

You put Tucker on Tatum and hope for the best but who guards Brown? 

Brown while as crazy as Kyrie, he has really developed into a shot creator and playmaker.
