    How nervous are you with no Gordon Hayward in this win or go home situation? :emoji_smiling_imp:

    Fire Brett Brown. Sixers team is a joke. They looked like a G league team last night. I thought I was watching the 10-72 Sixers again. Disgraceful. Celtics coming through with the sweep

    I like our full healthy team. However, it’s been evident the last couple years that sometimes, less is more. Hayward’s playmaking is elite but I’d waaaay rather watch Tatum take 20+ shots and score 30+ every night lmao.

    yeah, tatum has really stepped up. i think the celtics have a good as chance as anyone in the east, especially since you guys have multiple guys capable of having big games.

    that luka injury is gonna be tough to comeback from being that they have to play every other day. but at least its nothing too serious. he's obviously a big part of the future of the NBA. anthony davis obviously was great in game 2. but he had one shot on the baseline in which he spun before making the shot and it was nasty--especially considering how tall/big he is. very impressive.

    Many don't know (and I didn't either till this year) that AD was a point guard when he was younger so that's why he has some of those moves in his game too, but yeah I've never seen a big man be able to do some of the stuff he does..he's ridiculous.

    It's crazy that him and Bron are on the same team, I hope it's a long term duo..to me both those guys are players that aren't really comparable to anyone else in NBA history, both truly 1 of a kind.

    Huge game 3 tomorrow, you know the blazers will put out a better performance than game 2. Lakers gotta take control of the series.

    Philly is a mess so I don’t want to get too overly confident, but it looks like the Celts are gonna be tough to beat in the East. Kemba Walker looked amazing today. Tatum and Brown both made a huge leap this year and carried the team throughout the 4 game sweep of Philly.

    It’s a d--- shame the they lost Hayward. Arguably, he was playing the best basketball of his career before he sprained his ankle. It’s insane how injury prone he became once he signed with Boston smh. At least the ankle he sprained isn’t the same one he completely destroyed a few years ago.

    Insane! I don’t have a dog in this race but I really dislike this clippers team lol. I am definitely not a Mavs fan at all but I’m pulling for them to beat the clippers.

    I've never had feelings for anyone as strong as I do Luka Doncic. He's a dreamboat.

    I hate the Celtics due to being a Sixers fan so I have a shaded bias but trying to pull the wool down they are a solid team. They have good depth and smart adds that much needed grit to the team.

    It will be interesting to see. Brad Stevens is a good coach and they have more playoff experience now. Bucks are always trash in the playoffs so I really think it will come down to Celtics or the raptors. I guess the heat could throw their name in their but I don’t think they will be able to keep up as the playoffs go on

    It’s official. Brett Brown fired as Sixers head coach. Any speculation towards a replacement?

    I wouldn’t mind Ty Lue (which would be ironic) or Jay Wright (if he wants to leave college) but knowing Philly they always go with someone out of left field

    I feel like I might have originally learned it from one of the 2ks with it being mentioned in one of the four commentary lines recorded the entire game.
