Want to see the Sixers come out tonight loose with nothing to lose - have fun but play tough - i.e. this game is gravy and there's nothing to lose and try to make a statement.Is it possible the Celts come out cold tonight in front of their home crowd a bit nervous looking to the close out the series and are squeezing their butt cheeks a little too tight with everyone expecting them to close it out tonight.
Is it possible - if the Sixers win this game - they go back to Philly down 3-2 - and we may just have the makings of a team coming back from 0-3 down?
I know this - this series goes back to Philly - it's going to be insane here for Game 6.
Looking forward to a good game tonight (hopefully)
What was that streak - 16 or 17 in row (granted against some dogs) at the end of the year when they were even playing lights out without Embiid.
They could have won games 2 & 3 in this series.
They get some lucky bounces (which they haven't gotten unless you count Beli's miracle), don't turn the ball over (which has been a problem all year) and they (especially Embiid) plays good 'D' - they've got a shot. It's not about just playing good 'D' even. Embiid has gotten roasted a bit - fact of the matter is what are you going to do on the pick and roll when all of Horford, Tatum, Rozier (and even Smart at times), the big guy Baynes, etc are all on fire. You can leave your man to double - but what happens when 'the other guy' you left your assignment on is just as hot shooting the ball. Would like to see the Celts have a cold shooting night if possible.
