Good first 3 quarters but Sixers outtalented us. Had GREAT seats though. Sat behind the owner, Micky Arison. A few seats down was Kevin McHale on the TNT broadcast who took a pic with my sister. And of course the Godfather nearby.
Welp at least I got to see a lot of my favorites including Wade on the court one last time. Not sure Wade retires since he has a show with his wife now and he's basically a journeyman at this point.
I've liked this Sixers team and Embiid is certainly an entertaining player. Had no idea that Simmons was Aussie. Looking forward to seeing how they do.
Anyone watch the Bucks/Celtics last night? How do the refs blow a shot clock violation that bad!?!? Wasn't even close, I feel that took so much momentum from the Bucks and another 24 seconds off the clock at crunch time... Way to go Refs!
Hes probably done it 10000x but in the 3rd when he went coast to coast with the euro step, we all just looked at each other and shook our heads. Nothing you can do about it
And neither were the '11 Mavs but Bron couldn't post up on 5'2 JJ Barea.
Fair enough. I just don't think there's much challenge for the Cavs in the East except maybe Boston. LeBron had nothing to "fear" in that game winning shot because well, his team is up 2 games. It's not like he makes it and the entire season is lost. It was a tied game too. Different circumstances for me as an observer.
Mind you, I think that mid-season trade to shake up the Cleveland roster has been fantastic for them.
Kyrie is done, yeah. He had surgery last month to remove screws from his kneecap, left over from when it was broken a couple years ago.
What I'm curious about is, let's say Boston not only manages to close out the series against the Sixers, but then also somehow gets by the LeCavs (remember, they will have home court advantage, and they've proven they can beat a 1-man team with Giannis)...
Ainge and Stevens are denying it, but IF they make the finals, I have to believe they would seriously consider bringing Gordon Hayward in off the bench. He got hurt opening night - he's gotta be ready by now! They just don't want to risk it, which is understandable... unless you actually get a shot at a championship!
Zero percent chance Hayward plays. The celtics have been playing with house money since Kyrie went down. They could get swept by Lebron and no one would care

Yeah they're not gonna bring him back in the semis. I'm just saying that IF they make it past LeBron and they're actually in the finals... you don't get that shot every year! I think that if he's medically cleared (which I don't know about - they've been keeping things pretty close to the vest with him), I would be surprised if they didn't bring him in as a "secret weapon" to give them a boost. Especially if it's against Houston. If it's Golden State, I agree that they're pretty much boned if they're not at full strength (i.e. Kyrie AND Hayward plus the current team). But Houston's another glorified one-man team. Their D should be good enough to at least give them a shot.
Obviously as a fan that would awesome, but I just dont see Stevens doing it. I cant imagine Haywards first full game back in probably a year being in the Finals. Seems like too much to ask of him
You're probably right... but it would be freaking epic! Especially if they do it in Game 3 at the Garden... can you imagine the fans going apeshit when he trots out there?
