OT: Sixers 18-19 Talk

[Iggloo]

I have the feeling that unless we get the MOJO back that we had on Thursday night, this series is going to be over. Embiid is childish, and he embarrassed himself with his childish actions last week. He must grow up, and FAST, or Toronto wins this in 2 more games.

This series is hard to predict, but I have a bad feeling about that loss. They had Toronto on the ropes. That was a game they could have won and really put the pressure on the Raptors. Too many missed free throws and other basic mistakes cost them the game down the stretch. Credit Kawhi for hitting a big shot but that was a winnable game for Philly.

outside of Jimmy, everyone played like shit for most of the game. Embiid is playing hurt and sick. He spent all his gas on the defensive end. The fact he was still tops in the plus/minus department is surprising. what childish antics was he pulling?

 

[eaglesnut]

That's a loss that should tighten us up a bit. Too sloppy out there with the game on the line.

I think we'll get their best game on Tuesday.

I know that Embiid was sick, but the word is that he does not take care of himself - bad eating habits, etc.
Last week, he acted like he was all -world, and behaved like a teenager. Last night, he might have been ill, but did not show that he was trying to win. IMO.

 

[Screamin Eagle]

Embid needs to grow up and stop his childish habits. He should be better than he is on a more consistent basis.
Why the prolonged illness...? The McNabb syndrome?

I was referring to game 3 when we blasted Toronto, he was flying all around, actin like t ten year old (or 6?). Just play the game hard, and give 100% all the time. If you go out partying, then you aren't taking the game seriously.

 

[Northern Eagle]

Yes! Momentum back on our side - a nice, gritty win with one of our main guys not playing at 100%, found a way to grind it out. Toronto is going to be ROCKING Tuesday night. Time to put this series away!

Yup. Agree with you OD. This game and series could easily be 3-1, instead of 2-2 heading back to Toronto. Nothing pisses me off more than missing easy free throws. To make things more frustrating, Embiid does act childish and Simmons seems to turn invisible at the biggest moments. Good thing we have Butler or this series is over. Embiid should not get owned by Gasol three out of four games.

Guys like JJ and Jimmy take their time and concentrate taking free throws. It's not rocket science. Any BB player should be able to hit at least 80%. It's FREE!

I can hit 80% after warming up and I barely play!

I know. I hear about you!

 

[mall3013]

So hopefully Embiid is healthy enough to play game 5 effectively. From what I have read, he's fighting some kind of illness and needed an IV prior to playing game 3. Not what you really want to hear heading into game 5 on the road.

 

[old duke]

I know. I hear about you!

OOPS! "heard".

 

[Iggloo]

Impossible to predict which Sixers team comes out on Game 7 at this point, given how mixed it has been. But hopefully they pull this off.

Of course Milwaukee will now have like a full week off between series.

That can be a good or a bad thing. If they are all healthy, they could start a cold streak with that kind of time off. I'm gonna be in Canada for the weekend. I'll be glued for this game. Hope we pull this out.

 

[Northern Eagle]

AARRGGGHHH

Should have finished you guys off in Philly the other night - this damn series has been Jekyll and Hyde for both teams.

 

[old duke]

Well, no matter, I think Kawhi signs with the Sixers after this season.
Next year we have: Kawhi, jimmy, JoJo, Benny, and Harris, with JJ coming off the bench!
Sorry to ruin your Mothers Day!

Welcome! Good luck boys, may the best team win.

Tonight's the night BoyZ! I really think we will play our best and not only win this series, but will finally put it all together throughout, and win the darn thing!
