These casino advertisements for the new place in MA are the best advertisements for a place I don't think I will ever be. I'm more likely to end up at DMatts house speaking Japanese.

Ugly 3rd quarter. Didn't help that Smart got ejected at the start, and the refs gave Embiid 1,500 free throw attempts.
We lost our momentum, but still have a 5 pt lead.
Kyrie has been doing his part. He's going to need help in this last frame. Horford and ESPECIALLY Tatum need to provide some big production.

How can an opponent shoot 35% from the field, 31% from 3s, and still only be down 4, to a team shooting nearly 50% and 39%? By giving them a 40 to 13 free throw advantage.
League trying their best to give this game to Philly.

This was a league screw job. This is why people stop watching the nba because this is how the rigged perception was created.

They had their chances. It definitely looks to me like there's no way Philly can beat us in a 7 game series, especially if we had home court or if any of their major guys were to get banged up

It's a shame we couldn't hold on. Playing without 3 of our top 8 guys and still Philly barely eked out a win.
Embiid and Simmons will never win a title. Embiid is too dumb (jacking up 3's when he's terrible from out there and has a huge size advantage inside) and Simmons simply can't score outside the paint. In the clutch they had to turn to Butler. If Philly doesn't win it all this year and Butler leaves, I think they are screwed. They'll be the mid-80's Bucks, a solid 55 win team that isn't ever quite good enough. If we have all our guys healthy and play them best of seven, they don't scare me.
In a very short time I've developed a real dislike for the Sixers. Maybe it's the way they tanked for several years in a row in order to get high draft picks. Maybe it's Embiid's mouth. Maybe it's just Reddick's sour face. Maybe all of that, but I can't stand them.

Same here. Can’t stand these Sixers, especially Embiid.
They needed a huge night from Em-Baby, a ton of help from the refs, an injury to our big man stopper, an ejection from our defensive heart and soul, and they still nearly loss this game, on their home turf.
Yup, they got lucky.
If there is any consolation to this loss, we went from the 21st pick to 20th, and maybe 19th if San Antonio can get this win against the Heat.

I watched the first half. Awesome, sans the phantom foul at the end of the half.
There is no consolation. BOS can not play a game for 4 quarters, and every team knows it. Its not just one player, or the coach. Wyc said it best, this team can make the final or be beat in the first round. I am disappointed.
