    Based on the 1st quarter, Sixers have this in the bag if Simmons shows up.

    Haha, you just heard a fan say: "Wow, amazing, the guy knows how to call a time-out" with the Celtics making a little run.

    Refs helping the Sixers and they still cannot do anything. Baynes is a punk with shoving guys and then flopping on the other end. Saric is soft and the whole Sixers team looks soft right now.

    The East is straight up garbage. I'm sorry. The Celtics are scrappy and 76érs have a lot of young talent, but they look like crap out there. The unmitigated gall of those East Coast homers at The Ringer for throwing a season of shade on the Rockets while repping these piss ants...SMH.

    Ben Simmons is sorta killing the Sixers. Celtics lay off of him and their offense grinds to a halt. They look much better with TJ out there.
    I think it's pretty funny that Bill Simmons was already hailing him a top 10 player and a future hall of fame player and the Sixers a favorite for the Finals after that Miami series. He's so reactionary. He shitted on the Rockets for game 2 and blabbered on our play style is so boring and predictable.

    His Celtics are winning though so I guess he's happy he was wrong and Ben is ******** the bed.

    Yeah it's crazy though how good he is considering he can't shoot worth a lick..that dunk just now was sneaky like the Harden dunk.

    What sucks is I really want the Ringer staff to suffer but half of them are Sixers fans and the other half are Celtics fans, so it's lose-lose. I don't know who to cheer for.

    Omg, what a poster by Embid on that big center from Boston. That's got to be an ESPN higlight.

    Sixes are fun to watch!

    Brilliant decision by Saric not to hand it off to Simmons, instead pushing it up court himself and passing to Bellinelli for the splash 3.

    When Philly gets hot man do they get hot, it seems like every 3 goes in. They look like a contender, very Warrior like. They can play very good defense, but their offense is just up and down.

    With that mini run it feels like Philly should be up more but they only Up 3 with Tatum being on the bench most of that second quarter

    Seems like their offense is too dependent on fast break opportunities.

    In half court, they aren't very good. Part of it is the Stevens maul and brawl defense because the refs are "letting them play".
