Everyone here is hindsight experts. I love the experts that predict winners after the game is over. Just about everyone on the planet had the Sixers winning this series. As an NBA fan, I would say it is over, but as a Sixers fan why not us? We are seemingly the better team. Win game five in Boston and we have a series. Still, I said preseason that a playoff series win is the ceiling for this team. They already did that. This was supposed to be the transition year before the big offseason and we completely exceeded expectations. We have to look at the big picture.
Also, so many people live in the moment. Tatum was completely outplayed by Simmons last night. I guess Simmons is better than him again? Simmons played better all season and Tatum has a few good games and all of the sudden is the best rookie. It is hilarious how people change their opinions after every game. Not to beat a dead horse, but this is the point I was making to you the other day. You were talking about Houston being in trouble in the next round because they lost one game to Utah. Is Golden State in trouble in the next round because they lost one game to the Pelicans? Everyone overreacts to one game, especially in the playoffs. I remember the local guys on NBC Sports Boston proclaiming the Bucks series was over after the C's went up 2-0. It's wild to me that people who have watched sports their whole life can get so caught up in the moment. I didn't know anyone was saying Tatum was better than Simmons, though he's certainly had a better series to date. I didn't expect Boston to sweep (hell, when the series began I didn't even expect them to win), but it would've been nice to get it over with now that Cleveland is resting up for the ECF. Hopefully the Celtics can get a win tomorrow, but they're going to have to play with more focus than they did last night. I agree, fans can be fickle. But isn't that part of the fun? The drama? The surprise? The unexpected? |
