Hilarious how Middleton becomes prime-Ray Allen when facing us but against everyone else he's usually mediocre/average...  ::)

Isn't that, like, a big chunk of the league? How many times this season did individual players and entire teams get hot against Boston? And every time, a certain group of fans said, "It was just a fluke." Mmmmmm, I don't think so.

Middleton has been doing it to us for about four years, dating back to the 2018 Milwaukee series.  It hasn’t been the entire league that whole time.

I was more or less referring to how often Boston has been victimized by various low-scoring players, and teams that aren't great at 3pt shooting, who suddenly come to life against Boston. More so this season, but I feel like it's happened fairly often in recent seasons.

6-23.

I think the Sixers watched the Nets and went "oh hey, let's do that too!"

Oh boy. No Conley for Utah tonight. That is a big loss.

Call me crazy, but I think the Sixers can take the Nets. They should matchup well with them. Nets have no answer for Embiid, and Simmons and Thybulle are good options to defend two of the Nets big 3. Tobias Harris is not a bad matchup against the Nets either.

I agree but they've got to get passed the Hawks first.  If the Nets try to play Griffin at the 5 against Embiid, they better have a casket on hand.  The Sixers really need a go-to-scorer/shot creator guard.

I really don't like watching Embiid play.

He falls into the Harden category for me.

Too much foul-baiting.

I really hate foul-baiting.

They have a good matchup for sure, same as the Clips I think. And Utah matches up well against the Nets IMO

You’re crazy.
