I'm rooting for Cavs so I can potentially go to a game, but the Magic are definitely the easier opponent.
I think Mitchell and Garland would give Boston some issues. Think I would rather play the Magic with their lack of 3 point shooting.
Adrian Wojnarowski@wojespnMilwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (Achilles) are both working to try and make a return vs. Indiana for Game 6 tonight, but still unclear if either will be able, sources tell ESPN. Bucks are trailing 3-2 in series.
Quote from: A Future of Stevens on May 02, 2024, 12:00:53 PMDid you guys see the 76ers bought 2000 tickets to give away to Philly fans? They didn't want a repeat of Knicks fans traveling and being loud in Philly's arena.That is one of the weakest things I have heard of from a front office. Can you imagine if NYK or LAL did that for Brooklyn or Clippers games? They would be eviscerated by the media.For buying tickets and giving them to first responders? I think they would receive universal praise in any city for doing this. Get a bunch of hardworking underpaid people into see a playoff game. What exactly is the problem?

The reason they did it is not enough of their own fans went to a playoff game. I'm all for something good coming out of it, but buying your own tickets so that an opposing teams fans don't travel and boo your playoff team on their own court isn't a great look.
It's funny. You have two fanbases tonight who both believe that the absolute worst is going to happen to them. Knicks fans convinced that Reggie Miller 2.0 just happened to them in Game 5 and they're destined to blow a 3-1 lead now.Sixers fans convinced that it's such a Sixer thing to pull you back in with that Game 5 win then promptly lose at home in Game 6.

Probably about the best way the 76ers could have handled it.
If people watched Game 4, there were a ton of cheers for the Knicks and even MVP chants for Brunson lol, also chants of "F---- Embiid" inside the arena itself. Wild stuff. If that happened at TD Garden I'd be pretty livid, and it'd feel so weird.

Lakers came into town and the Laker contingent was pretty vocal and even started an MVP chant for Kobe. And I'm talking like arena wide. Not just the small opposing fan pockets you see at games. Pretty embarrassing.

Pretty embarrassing.I feel like we are being a little unrealistic here by not acknowledging too major factors. One Philly and New york are way closer than Boston and New York. It is about 220 miles from Boston to New York and like 70 from Philly to New York? One is a very feasible trip to make leaving work early. The other you are either a maniac ok getting home at 3 and leaving work very early or you are staying overnight. This certainly plays a major role in how many fans will go buy tickets. The other is that Boston is a more comparable cost of living to New York to Philly and everything is a bit cheaper including sports tickets. So that combined with the distance is why the fans are going into Philly, not anything really related to how passionate the fan base is or something they should be super embarrassed about. If we were that close to New York we would definitely have to deal with it more though the more expensive tickets would help some.
Dame is a go. Freak is out
