Legacy and Eastern Conference Supremacy | Official 76ers (#3) vs. Celtics (#2) East Semifinals Thread

[b. woods]

The 76ers are now 7-2 in the Playoffs and one win from returning to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 21 Years. Joel put the team on his back this game. Maxey came alive and Tobais and Harden were steady. I predicted a Sweep in the First round (Correct) and 6 games this round (Almost there). They are on track but I expect the Celtics to play really hard in Philly. So it's not over. Game 6 is going to be wild.

22 (2001)

76ers may get HCA if they can keep this going and win game 6!

Its not over yet sixers fans, doc has the most 3-2 series leads and losses ever.

03 VS detroit - Doc gets a pass this was an 8th seed VS a 1

09 VS Orlando - Doc gets a pass no KG and orlando did make the finals

10 VS Lakers - Doc gets a pass Perkins got hurt in game 6 and the 4th quarter in game 7 was rigged

12 VS Heat - Doc let lebron go looney tune in game 6 and they melted down game 7

15 VS Rockets - No excuses here they flat out choked down a bag of dikks and it changed NBA history

2020 VS Denver - Choked in the bubble

This is still a wide open series

No lie, I looked down this list and thought initially that in most of these the better and tougher team won out. Except for those Clippers teams, who were softer than wet tissue paper.

I'm finally starting to believe.

Dayum
In one series the Sixers franchise went from possibly doing this

To doing this

Huh? How? And Leon Powe’s 06 Wade impression in 08 was legit huh?

Lakers had 20 free throws in the 4th quarter in a game the refs let them play physical in the 1st 3 quarters.

2008 the lakers let them dudes come form 24 down in game 4. Thats bigger than leon powe getting some free throws.

Why the fukk do they need the coach to motivate them though?

Shouldn't want it themselves?

Ever since they saw what happened to JB on that dunk attempt, they've been when seeing Embiid near the paint

 

[Primetime]

Last year during their Finals run, i said the Celtics were an ideal version of the '21 Clippers.

But now that their bigs have regressed, they're basically just a worst version with the same glaring problems:

2 iso heavy wings needing to go iso heavy while everyone is standing 22 feet out to spam 3s. It looks great when everything is clicking but can get real stagnant real quick.

This chase down was special

They still need guidance though. It's not enough to want it on defense; you gotta know when to switch and when not to help out on defense.
