Well what exactly did you mean about great officiating again, baby?

this is very creepy. 

congrats to Celtics, Stevens has his team much better prepared then the inexperienced Sixers can take. Good news is Sxers will be back next year and better. Unfortunately for Boston fans, you guys will always suck and that won't change. Shame, but when some of your own fan-base hates you it certainly is telling

Well that's that. I've given Brett Brown a lot of credit this year but that was terrible not calling a time out. Cost us the game.

i've been behind Brett for most of this, but this series he has been really out-coached. not sure why it has been so prevalent but it is a little frightening. and the GM and front office are inept, so if Brett isn't the one to take them the next step i'm worried who they bring in to replace him. Steve Van Gundy?

 
Sixers have lost more playoff games in the past week than the Orlando Magic have in 6 years.

Let that sink in.

 
I don't know if you can really blame Brett Brown. There were 3 HUGE turnover, 2 off inbound passes in Q4 and OT that giftwrapped the game to the Celtics. You can't really hold the coach responsible for that. One less turnover and the 76ers probably win the game.

The Reddick pass to Simmons who wasn't looking cost you guys the game in regulation.

Lebron would also have a falling to with Embiid and force BC to trade him. Lebron is all about Lebron and loves to micromanage everything and honestly I don't think Brett Brown would put up with his BS. Lebron is a great player but he's never had a coach or GM with big enough balls to tell him sorry you can't have it your way all the time. It's why I've always believe I don't think Lebron could put up with Pop in SA. Pop don't put up with that ####. Also Simmons Dunk he missed he tried to be cute and a crowd pleaser. Thats one you use two hands and slam that ####. No need to get cute there with some highlight reel dunk

He did. Pat Riley was great. No coincidence 2/3 rings came under his tutelage. The only other ring Bron has came due to a Draymond suspension he had to beg the league for.

It’s amost like they were not executing set plays and instead just making it up as they went

 
Horford is just the king of cool, so composed out there. You can see the young guys rely on him and feed off of him. Not a stud by any means but smart, steady and very under appreciated.

The dude is worth every penny.  It was an excellent FA move by Boston.

you guys are so weird. It is different then all Celtics fans, who when the Celtics are up run in here to post, but if they are losing are gone. Blame the NBA, who the hell schedules a game for 5:00 on a Saturday

 
FVV starting tonight.  I have a big time worry about Cavs tonight.  Cavs have come out slow many times this post season.  Game 1, 3, 5, 6 vs Indiana and games 1 and 2 vs Toronto.  Need to get off to a good start tonight or this could come down to the wire and if Raptors win it series back on.

I had that same thought about "all home games not being equal". Like tomorrow, the Pelicans get a "home game" on a Sunday at 3:30PM. They can't be happy about that. Way different than having a game at home in primetime, imo.

The talking heads up here (esp the ones who didnt know who Rozier was til March) have been hounding Horford like he was David Price since he got here. "How does u ####in' pay a guy $29mil cant score 10 pts every game?!" It's like when someone's political stance instantly disqualifies them from credibility.

Lebron has Ray Allen to thank for 1 of them though. Riley didn't budge on Lebron's demands during contract time his second go around so Lebron went back to Cleveland who he knew were pushovers. Also in Mia Lebron a very good veteran in D Wade as well as other veterans around. However Lebron did try to get Spoelstra fired early on. Who's to say if he went to Philly he wouldn't try to get Brown fired in the first month? Lebron doesn't like being told what to do. People always get on MJ with coaches but as much as Phil and MJ fought they had a mutual respect there. MJ knew what lines he couldn't cross. I thought it was awful how he and the Cav's went about the Blatt situation. Truly great disrespect there. Just showed you the kind of person player wise this guy was. The James fans will defend him till they are blue in the face but I think Clevland's struggles lately can be contributed to Tyron Lue sucks as a HC and Lebron's micromanaging of the whole roster. IF LAL wants him go ahead. If Philly wants him ok I'll have a nice laugh when he destroys the team and the Sixers are stuck with him out of his prime. Lebron's a great player but he's not the great player I want on my team. I like my stars input but it's not the gospel truth and end all be all decision. I'll take Tim Duncan any day on my team or a Steph Curry. A Lebron no way.

This is what we're dealing with.

believe me, worst nightmare for Sixers fans would be that the GM and front office would bring in a SVG or Thibadeau. Sam Hinkie would have to be on suicide watch

Why Thibs? We Chicago fans think he got #### on by the FO. THibs wanted a few things but Pax/Gar wanted a Yes man in there. I think if you had Thibs and got an offensive minded assistant coach he'd be fine. There were a lot of pissed off Bulls fans when he was fired.

I had to look up David Price since I don't follow baseball. I presume he's a disappointment? To my recollection, Horford's been perfect for that team the entire time he's been there. What could anyone possibly say negative about Horford?

Price was a top 5 pitcher who the Sox signed to a 7yr/$217MM and did not know that $31mil a year did not come with an exemption from scrutiny and has moped his way thru three seasons. At least four times he has "injured" out after being booed for performance, once for 3 months after the soc got all over him for getting chesty w broadcaster & baseball HOFer Dennis Eckersely on the team plane. More he mopes, more we harsh him - it's hilarious.

But Horford has unfairly received similar treatment (you'll notice he's the same race as Price & this is Boston) from chowderheads who thought hounding his rich contract would yield similar results, and has kept up because his contributions dont show on the box scores. The same guys will be squawking if Al dont get MVP now, know'm'sayin?

People just ##### about how much he makes and the fact that he isn't a double double guy. He does a lot of things that don't show up in the stat sheet plus he keeps the young guys settled down. When talking heads see a max contract they want flashy stats to justify it  :rolleyes:

 
So dumb that the clock keeps running when the ball is rolling around on the floor after a score. Literally just saw 10 seconds milked off the clock for nothing.

Agreed.

Good 2nd quarter for Cavs.  Hard to believe this team nearly lost to Indiana and got blown out by 34 points in game 6 and was written off by many talking heads of having very little chance to beat Toronto or make it back to the Finals.  That said almost zero chance this team can beat Golden State.  4 all stars vs LeBron can't win that battle no matter how good he is.

 
I am not one to harp on grammar, but can we ban Djackson until he can put one space between paragraphs? 

Or pretend this is Twitter 140 or less.

How come all I saw was Cavs gear in that quick shot of Toronto people that like to stand outside and watch playoff games?
