In general this was the most boring night of playoff basketball in quite some time. Neither game really had a second of interesting ball in the second half.

Heat were my biggest concern in the EC coming into the season, but they're not the juggernaut Philly made them out to be.
Miami sure do look a soft opponent for whoever comes out of the Celtics Bucks series.

The real ECF is happening b4 our eyes..the Celtics Bucks has been the only series that has all 5 games close or closer than the final score.

Im extremely dissapointed in the Suns..they arent the juggernaut that they appear to be and tbh if the Bucks beat us in this series...i do not see any other team beating them even without Middleton.

Not sure if this is a joke or what. I wasn’t saying anything about who won. I liked memphis winning last night but that also an objectively boring game. I like seeing competitive games that have some runs and uncertainty who wins. I don’t think anyone would argue the games were super interesting tonight to an impartial viewer as they both were basically 15+ point games after a few minutes into the third. Are you really gonna argue differently?

Yeah cp3 looked so good earlier in series. Is it pressure? He doesn’t even look like He is trying to get to his spot the last few games

Agreed. That's what makes last game so much harder to swallow. But I think we force a game 7, then we'll see what happens.  With Smart, Horford, and G. Williams, this team won't just lay down.

I don’t dislike luka at all. I enjoy watching him and jokic quite a bit. The passing and shooting is very enjoyable to watch. I really meant what I said. For non-Celtics playoffs games I just want competitive games. Otherwise they get boring and I turn them off and we are running out of games.

You don't need to make any stinkin' apologies.

Both games were boring tonight.

Best wishes to Danny Green.

His injury was cringeworthy.

Thybulle has not developed at all.
Philly should trade Thybulle. Embiid and Harden need shooters around them. Not non-shooters.

I suspect Morey will be seduced by Thybulle's defensive advanced stats to the point he will be unwilling to let him go.

You think Morey is still obsessed with harden? I’m not even sure he is better than maxey. Will be very interesting to see if they bring back harden. He looks completely washed to me.

Woudn't it be not to their advantage from a salary cap point of view to let him walk? They won't create space to sign another max player anyway?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Morey double down on Harden and get rid of Rivers, who has obviously been trying to turn Harden into a distributor. Maybe then hire D'Antoni to bring the Houston crew together  :angel:

Ben Simmons and James Harden had the same number of points in the 2nd half tonight

Almost took the same number of shots, too.

very impressed with the end results of The Process as the 76ers have gone from a team that checks notes annually gets bounced in the second round to a team that… annually gets bounced in the second round.

2 players I wouldn’t have on my team:

Kyrie Irving
James Harden

We had Irving & we know his situation..Harden always disappear during playoffs
C/PF-Horford, Baynes, Noel, Theis, Morris,
SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin

Meh, I say do it.

Doc's record is so iffy. Those Chris Paul Clippers teams that kept underperforming. Then he had Kawhi. Now these 76ers. He keeps getting all these talented teams.

He is just old I think.  Can't sustain the great play night in and night out, especially with only 1 full day off between games. Lots of miles on those legs
