In 2003-04, the Patriots' run to their second ring washed away a lot of the pain of the Grady Little ALCS. I'm hoping the Celtics do the same this year to mitigate the devastating Bruins loss.

WIN.

Unless Harden has a time machine, the Cs should handle an Emiid-less Sixers team relatively easily. But that’s why they play the games.

Slaughter the Sixers!

Tickets seem to be cheap for tonight, not sure if it's Philly fans bailing or what. Cheaper than round 1 even. And cheaper than many 2023 regular season games.

If Paul Reed doesn't foul out in 20 minutes the league is rigged.

Smart gets into the mind of Harden and White always made Maxey his bitch. Dominate.

I don't care if they look soft and unfocused and they don't use their gas pedal properly and they cheesedick as long as they win. Style and aesthetics don't matter anymore. Efficiency is a dream. Flawless execution is an unreasonable expectation.

Win ugly, win pretty but just win.

Yep -- just picked up tickets for Wednesday. A bit more expensive, but not by much. And there are a TON of tickets available.

86 the 76.

FWIW, Marathon Man Wilt Chamberlain was a more winning basketball player than oft-injured Joel Embiid. He was way more fun. He played every minute.
They were and are spectacular players. Wilt only started getting gimpy after Russell retired. Embiid came to Philly gimpy with an enforced two years on the sidelines. We never worried about Wilt’s health. And I will never forget all the moves Embiid can make, the sheer diversity of his game is dazzling.
It would have been fun to watch these two heavyweights go at it. Too bad for us.

I really want Tatum to make faster decisions when he gets the ball. I miss that.
