Sixers needs to be healthy and defensively active if the want to beat Brooklyn.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Tbh I am more worried about the Bucks and Heat, the 76ers aint winning anything with Doc Rivers as their head coach. Hes going to find a way to screw up even if he leads 3-1 in ECF.
:lol

[AirBonner]

Celtics are the 76ers kryptonite

But you have trust in Steve Nash who never coached nor won shit. The logic here baffles me.

The irony in choking a 3-1 lead. Durant knows that all too well. Yikes

[tpols]

Embiid isn't scary in the playoffs. He can't pass out of doubles and has tunnel vision so that will be exploited as usual. Sixers are going nowhere. As others have said, the Bucks scare me more because there's no way for us to wall off giannis. He's going to look like prime Shaq.

Swept you easily this season. Brett brown not here anymore. Try again

[fourkicks44]

How many points does he score tonight?

[Airupthere]

This. Status quo until proven otherwise.

[AirBonner]

Congrats on beating a depleted Celtics team in the regular season. You should hang a banner for such an accomplishment

[tontoz]

Looking forward to some epic trash talking in the playoffs. Stocking up on popcorn. The Wizards will be with me on the couch.
:lol

Depleted? Great excuse

[coastalmarker99]

How many points does he score tonight?

32 points to 35 points is my pick.

[LoneyROY7]

Philly's defense has ZERO chance against a healthy Brooklyn team.

Kyrie playing by himself is scoring with ease. Now throw in KD and Harden lol.

[hateraid]

Jojo on a mission to finish strong and win MVP. He historically abuses Jordan so it's not gonna be a fun night for the Nets frontline.

How so? Philly has elite perimeter defenders. Green/ Simmons/ Thybulle all have length and defensive awareness. How is that gonna be easy?

All those "elite" defenders that can lock in on one player tonight...and Kyrie has 23 at half. :oldlol:

Let's see what happens when you add two of the greatest scorers ever into the mix. It won't be close.

[AirBonner]

1/3rd of Brooklyn is keeping pace with a healthy 76ers. Nets are crazy stacked

No Dwight tonight.

Mike Scott holding it down at back up C has to ring some alarm bells. He is pretty cooked these days.

109-89 so far = keeping pace? Yikes.

[Derka]

Embiid would still get my MVP vote if I had one.

[Mask the Embiid]

Didnt we sweep you scrubs :oldlol:

The Celtics are brett brown's kryptonite... not ours

[LoneyROY7]

No Dwight vs. No Harden, KD, Aldridge, or Griffin. :lol

Sent Embiid and you crying

[fourkicks44]

Washed ass Aldridge is your best big man, homie.

Nets interior is their weakness as the OP post stated.

As Ben said. There is one ball.

But the paint is large.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Nets defense....SHIT...all you need to know. Just a weak ass embarrassing effort by this team. To allow nearly 60% shooting throughout the entire game has nothing to do with Harden & Durant not being in the game. Our offense was good enough to an extent but it's difficult to win when you allow the 76ers to score 125 points when they average 113 as a team.

[LoneyROY7]

Yep, there's only one ball. And that means one of 3 of the most unguardable players in the league will have it at ALL times.

[LoneyROY7]

109-89 so far = keeping pace? Yikes.

8 point game? Yikes.

[RRR3]

Sixers have been massive chokers for years. Can’t stand teams who can’t close.

[LoneyROY7]

3 point game. :oldlol:

Alize Johnson dominating. Nash not even putting Kyrie back in lmaoo.

[AirBonner]

109-89 so far = keeping pace? Yikes.

Ooof this post aged poorly

[Proctor]

Emchoke looks terrified of Johnson :facepalm

[AirBonner]

Emchoke with a playoffs preview?

[It's A VC3!!!]

I'm glad that Steve Nash used 5% of his brain and FINALLY decided to double team Embid. As soon as the Nets doubled him the entire game changed. Unfortunately it was too late.

[fourkicks44]

Sixers lock up 1st seed.

Home court till finals.

[GOBB]

Easy win. 1gm ahead of Nets 9 games ahead of Boston.

Easy lol looks like you were struggling vs a team missing two stars

[fourkicks44]

:oldlol:

Tie breaker against Brooklyn and 5th easiest strength of schedule to end the season.

Nets have 6th hardest strength of schedule to end the season. Half their team still cheerleading on the sidelines.

Good luck.

Playing Durant vs Twolves and sitting him vs 76ers hahaha what a rookie move by Nash

[Mask the Embiid]

Big Wiggle with another MVPiid performance tonight 39....13... 2 blks....50 % from 3....postive +/-...the big fella gave espn a treat tonight by showing a little bit of everything


This is the early favorite to be the mandingo performance of the night (trademark warrior fan)

:kobe:

I wasn't laughing bc I'm concerned about the 1st seed.

[StrongLurk]

OP is PRAYING the Nets don't make the finals. PRAYING.

I said this earlier today...embiid can't pass out of doubles. Its why he always flounders in the playoffs. I remember when brook Lopez started getting good on the nets he was the same way. Could put up numbers, but always choked because he couldn't handle a double team.

[dbugz]

Celtics are the 76ers kryptonite

:roll::roll::roll:

Joel's playoffs series win against the Celtics? nothing

Going straight ot the tunnel again crying

[Manny98]

Shouldn't of been that close considering we're coming off a back to back + missing half our roster

[imdaman99]

I watched the 4th quarter. The nets got some great role players. Brown and even the Johnson dude (where did he come from lol). I'm not big on Shamet or TLC (mentally) but Claxton, Brown, Johnson are great 7th, 8th, and 9th options on an already stacked team. They really have no excuses.

[noonereal]

The Net's were only short 4 of their big 5 last night and they would have won if Nash did not pull the plug on the game with 8 minutes left.
Deplorable to leave Kyrie on the bench the last 8 minutes when you are down by 3 with one minute to play. He was scoring at will.

[noonereal]

3 point game. :oldlol:

37 points in 33 minutes, scoring at will and Nash prefers he cheers in a skirt from the sideline.

Fire Nash.

[dankok8]

Any good offensive player is the Nets' kryptonite...
