Wow sixers won by one point, bummer, okay we have our work cut out now, Mitch has a chance to make his mark, he suddenly became one of the most important pieces on our team!
Btw I knew the Bulls would win easily, I expect them to beat Miami too.

that bulls team is relentless. all 48 minutes. not surprised you like them. coby white put himself on the map to the casual nba fan last night. the guy is the prototype sg. very similar to shai alexander.
either way boston is getting a tough first round.

batum on a lesser deal dominated the heat. can we expect bogdan to have that sort of impact in any 1 game this post season?
if burks touches the floor this team is doomed.

Vegas has the sixers favored to win the series. Good for them. Let's get it done boys.

Yup, they count Embiid playing vs. Randle missing. But I like our chances to beat the odds. Hopefully DiVo can be Brunson's splash brother this series.

Think our habits should help here, if the rest of the roster is healthy. I mean, we are basically in playoff mode, since Thibs cut the rotation to nine guys LAST season.

An article with series odds. Not shockingly in my book.

How many points does Brunson score! That will decide the series! :hmm:
