Gotta throw a Good Luck out there to the Sixers before the playoffs. Franchise record 15 wins. Came a long way fast this season and made believers out of a lot of non believers.

Yea I can agree with that but they have been on fire. Much more than I thought they had in them. Didn't think Embiid would get as much PT as he had and when he went down had to wonder if the rest could step up. Reddick has been crazy and Simmons looks like the absolute real deal. I hadn't really enjoyed, or even watched, the Sixers much over the last few years but the games I have seen this year were very enjoyable. Guess that comes with winningWait until next year is a terrible philosophy

I'm looking forward to Embid's return...probably on Thursday (?) in Miami.

The process has been long but it's really coming together now. What a fun team to watch. Simmons is the game changer getting all these guys who can hit open threes but were stuck on bad teams the open looks they need to succeed.
I'm actually concerned Embiid and his half court offense presence may be a bit of a pothole but he's such a force that I'm hoping they find the happy medium. The team's defensive rating with Embiid on the floor is one of the best in the league.

I took much pleasure in seeing these guys come back late against Miami, especially after Miami thought they could unnerve the young Sixers by getting all bad with them.

Bucks take the Celtics to 7 games. This is great as a very tired team will be coming up against our rested guys plus Embiid's eye gets more time to recooperate. Looks like he needs to wear the mask throughout the playoffs regardless though.

I was wondering what you thought of the game. Grandson had a DH last night that didn't end until 945 so I didn't see game. Read Embiid and Simmons comments today and from that I will be interested to see how game two comes out.
Never know how a team reacts to layoffs or how a team comes back from seven game series. I would've thought a game one win was in the cardsWait until next year is a terrible philosophy

He sure didn't look happy sitting on the bench in the 3rd/4th. Rightfully so IMO. You know you are playing poorly and you know you can't fix it sitting on the bench. They're certainly in a hole but it isn't a done deal. They can come backWait until next year is a terrible philosophy
