So, I'm not saying they don't have a chance. They just need to get some damn defensive rebounds

I still believe this will go 6 or 7 games.

Do I think Sixers have a chance to extend it? Yes, like I said they had at least a 10 point lead in every game and main issue is the defensive rebounding, non-Embiid minutes, and 4th quarter Offense going to crap. My main hope is that they just don't lay down and quit like the past 3 playoff exits

I have no idea what SVG was rambling about tonight. That Tatum/Bam part might be the worst analysis you will see all postseason along. Hope KP is alright. They can still get to the finals without him but they can't win it. Derrick White saved us from a truly deplorable game on both sides. like i said more Derrick White the better.

My wife and I have been complaining about the color guys a lot this year. With his brother and Jackson you got a sense of knowledge with Goofy humor. I think that's what we are currently missing (the goofy part). Or maybe it just after so many years of them. We are use to their back and forth.

KP has the same injury as Giannis. no idea on the grade though. If Giannis is close had they been winning the series there could be hope but if he still would've been out next series it could be over. Celtics can get to the Finals without KP but that's where he need him. ECF would be murky but one you'd expect the Talent to still be there. Kornet and Tillman are solid backups but you need to limit Horford's minutes.

I hope Sixers at least force a game 6. This has been the best series so far. Despite poor shooting from both teams, another good start by Sixers. It's just about finishing

Sixers continuing to struggle in the non-Embiid minutes. Next season, they really need to get a 6th man who can be a legit scorer when Embiid is off the court
