Bartles

The mental mistakes in the final 1-2 minutes of both the 4th and OT were just inexcusable. As I said the other day, I guess this is what "It's just the playoffs" means. Whole series is like a well coached 12 seed schooling an undeservedly cocky 5 seed. One of those deals where in hindsight they're obviously better but can't blame Vegas etc for favoring the Sixers at first.

I want Boston to lose all games in all sports all the time...but Pastrnak goal tonight was sweet. Waiting for the pop-up puck to land and smacking it in at the perfect time, with a defender also swatting at it. So many rec leaguers try that every night and whiff

Watching PTI before the Heat series, I was pissed when Wilbon picked Miami for no reason other than "It's the playoffs." But that kinda looks like what's happening so far in this series. Home court does matter. Playoff experience does matter. Little things like Embiid's mask become amplified. An opponent playing over his head (Smart) can disrupt the whole series. Now the Sixers are in totally new territory of having no margin for error.

Pos rep to the entire thread at this point for no Come On Eileen Yes I know someone will quote this and post it...but it's been four pages, five days so that's a win

They have enough good players to be fired up at home, hearing how they have no chance in the series and especially this game without Brown. Rozier hasn't really even needed to do too much.

Seeing why everyone raves about Stevens. They're supposedly offensively challenged but they're finding the weak defender and torching him (Belinelli mostly, sometimes Redick)

It shouldn't even go six, though I'm not ballsy enough to predict less Celts need Embiid in foul trouble and at least a couple guys having horrible shooting nights, all at the same time

That is the assumption. But I think they are open to paying him again on a one-year deal if the big fishes don't work out. Also think he might take less because he wants to stay in the northeast near his Brooklyn home (but the Nets/Knicks aren't realistic options).

Ministry of Silly Walks is first thing to come to mind. Also the pall bearers who get tired so they take turns riding in the coffin

That's all good, like I said no way you turn him away if he wants to come over to Phila. Brett Brown has adjusted his style a couple times already, so yeah he could figure out away to incorporate 23. It's more about wanting to see it be Simmons' team going forward, which would not be the case if LeBron shows up. And there's no way around it, his next team will have to manage LeBron's eventual decline as he gets older.

If you're the Sixers, of course you want LeBron if you can make the money work, which shouldn't be too hard. But it would force a change in "the process" and maybe take the ball out of Simmons' hands which is not ideal. Plus he's gonna be 34 and the way he plays there's gonna be some drop-off soon. I hope he just stays in Cleveland.

I think that's why they never really snapped out of it. Haven't faced adversity in weeks besides Embiid getting hurt. Losing this one might not be so bad, but they need to go down fighting at least

Spotswood. I thought the reference was too dated (Team America World Police). Same avatar. Wish we had sigs under the avatar like before so I could add "Fuck Philly and their fans" which seems to come up in many threads within which I post for some reason

For now, I'll chalk this up to pro athletes having enough pride not to be humiliated every single playoff game. Definitely being more careful with puck possession while maintaining their aggressiveness. Hope it becomes a typical NHL long series

Best milkshake I've had in decades was from their Cincy airport shop a few months ago.

The whole series could turn around if we can limit the Pens to 2 goals per period

I don't even play roulette but that pisses me off

In. This will make up for the Paterno after school special. Filmmakers got several hours with Vince & Hulk and also tracked down Andre's family in France who had never been interviewed.

Very superficial and sometimes laughable re-telling of events that have been pretty much known for years. Pacino does pretty well, but given the way they portray Joe as being mostly a bystander to every conversation (which is totally believable at that point), an unknown actor would have been better for the story.

Blacklab in the money is well deserved (for this year anyway)

VU will lose Bridges and Brunson for sure, and possibly Spellman. If I was a neutral fan, I'd be a little pissed. Michigan doesn't totally suck but this isn't a championship game quality team. Can't shoot FTs, actually can't shoot much at all. Best player Wagner had all the buzz and he gets tired easily and also rattled easily. Champ games should be better than this
