    Robert Kraft looking like, "How did I get here? Why did I go see Meek in Prison again?"

    When Boston tries a 3 and it misses, it bounces straight to another teammate and they hit the second 3. When Philly tries a 3 and it misses, it bounces far away and leads to a fast break easy layup for Boston.

    I swear Terry Rozier has the defensively mentality as PBeverley and can be as fast as anyone in the league like John Wall. What a underrated appreciate player Boston have in their team culture.

    That’s why I am taking Mitchell over Simmons. He’s got a jump shot

    Simmons is a shooting liability. The league will leave him behind in the dust if he doesn't develop a jump shot quick.

    No help Def from Saric. Not well formated Defensively positioning with the remaining game clock compare to shock clock times.

    Philly is accustomed to losing. They still have that tanking mentality that will be permanent.

    good comeback for boston but we know they struggle on the road so it can easily be 2-2 when the weekend is over

    Unfortunate loss for Sixers. Would be interesting to see how they will respond in their building against Celtics down two games.

    philly is great at home as well. but i don't put too much stock into them struggling on the road even though that's what happened last series. they had a top 3 road record during the regular season i believe. bucks were just a different matchup and also a solid home team. i just can't concede that they will be bad on the road (and the sixers shouldn't either) automatically.

    stevens is coaching circles around brown right now. horford on simmons, exposing key contributors like belly, saric, and ilyasova on defense. they are so much more athletic than all the white boys on philly. anderson might have to play over belly. more tj time, might even have to throw in fultz. need another creator. i agree that the series is not over though.

    why does it seem like the most obvious teams always ends up in the western conference finals? like it doesn't seem to be any surprises anymore.
