Ok, Monroe, I see you didn't read my post about NO turnovers! Let me say it again, NO TURNOVERS!!
Thanks.

We've only attempted 61 shots. Philly has 79. We can thank turnovers for that.

We're hanging around a 10 pt deficit, going back and forth. Time to lock down defensively, and pour on the offensive barrage.

Looks like we're heading to Game 5. Still our series to win, but we should have finished them off today.
Oh well, a benefit is we can do it in front of our home crowd.

Really could have used Playoff Al today. Too bad he doesn't show up every game.

One of those games where it just wasn't going to happen for us. It seemed the Sixers had every shot that bounced around go in, and loose balls were finding them too. At least we hung in there.
Brad will figure out how to beat the Philly pressure D. I just hope we didn't lose another player tonight (Larkin).

Time to cheer for Toronto to win this game, so that CLE won't sweep and have time to rest their players.

Too many turnovers (about twice was many as Philly) and too many offensive rebounds given up (16-6 edge for Philly). We've bounced back from bad performances before, we need to do so again.
Seemed like in the 3rd we cut it down to 4 then had back to back T's which snuffed out our momentum.

And another player hurt. This is becoming ridiculous.

And the foul on TR that led to the techs was a case of Reddick faking the refs out. We just couldn't sustain any momentum and the refs didn't help. But we can also play a lot better.

The annoying part is that Embid was running his mouth after the game staing that he already had his bags packed for Game 5. At least he won't have worry about packing to go home for the off season after they lose Game 5.

OK, a loss. Everything went PHI way, however twice the number of TOs did not help the cause. Making progress, with 1 road win. Time to close it out at home.

I’ll be very surprised if we lose Game 5, or at the very least, if we don’t play tougher than the Sixers.
Brad repeated stated to the media that the Sixers played tougher than we did, which seemed concerted, like he’s lighting a fire or issuing a challenge to his guys. And i can’t fathom Marcus Smart, Morris, Baynes and Rozier not eager to take up that challenge. Especially Morris, whom may have a personal grudge against Embiid, who began taunting in his face.
Bring on the pain, boys, unleash the wrath!! Bury these Sixers.

I don't like giving them any momentum, but I expect a little favorable referring due to home cooking could help in allowing us to play tougher and close this out.
