I just hope they go 7 with a couple double overtimes.
Damn. No more local broadcasters for playoffs. I really enjoy Alla and Zumoff
Great 3rd qtr by the Sixers. 4th qtr was a mess. The Heat cut the lead to 8, but the Sixers kept their composure, despite some pretty rough fouls from the Heat.
Appeared to be quite a festive scene at the game.

I'm back an forth on this.. but I think Milwaukee so Sixers have home court though they're probably the more dangerous team. I think the Sixers win either way and then it'll be an absolute war in the conference finals especially if it's the Cavs or Raptors.

Man this is going to be a fun ride this year and years to come. Time to enjoy our trusting the process and its fruition
Bring it on Tom, let’s see what you got. ID all the players in the photos and no looking them up.
hmm, the pics are from a long time ago.
bottom pic:
Wilt dunking over Russell. I think that's Larry Siegfried in the background.
top pic:
Wilt shooting over Russell. Cousy is #14, just enjoying the view. The Celtics future coach, Tom Heinsohn, is #15, and boxing out on the play. The other Celtic that is boxing out, I'm not certain, but I think that's Frank Ramsey. I'm pretty sure the Warrior behind Cousy is Paul Neumann. The Warrior that Heinsohn is boxing out is shielded from view, so I could only guess as to who that is. Lastly, Ramsey is boxing out the Warriors' Tom Gola.
Sixers now favored to win the East.
"As for the Sixers' odds to win the East? How about a slight favorite, according to VegasInsider. Philly (8/5) is just a tiny bit ahead of Toronto (17/10) with Cleveland (3/1) being the only other team with a shot better than 20/1."

Serious question about the second picture: Why does Bill Russell's jersey say "Celtics" on the front, but #20 says "Boston"?

Pretty impressive. Polite golf clap on getting Gola. I think the person blocking him out is Bill Sharman. I wasn’t sure on who the Warrior was behind Cousy. I saw the number and I thought it was 5 which made me think it was Guy. But that certainly doesn’t look like him.
Excellent question. I agree with Tom though on it being Seigfried. But you raise an interesting question .
Bucks - Celtics going to a game 7. Sixers will have almost a week off. As I said earlier, a triple overtime Saturday night would be great!
Prime time in his home Country.

Can’t wait to finally get this started. Not sure much scares me with the C’s. Can’t see who is going to body up Jo-Jo or Ben. C’s got a TON of points and chances of offensive rebounds which I don’t think will happen with the way the sixers rebound. Plus the Bucks didn’t seem to offer much in the way of interior defense. I would be disappointed if they don’t split in Boston and would hoping for a 2-0 lead coming out of there.
After that physical battle with the Heat, I don’t think there will be much of that with the C’s. They like to play open as well. That works for the Sixers
This team got plenty of rest, everyone is “healthy”, and they are confident.
Prediction...Sixers 4-1 again

Betfair has the Sixers as the 2/1 favorite for Lebron James if he leaves the Cavs. Odds are also 2/1 he stays with the Cavs.

Saw a blurb that Sixers-Celtic have met 20 times in playoffs. Eight more than any other teams.
Jaylen Brown is listed as doubtful and most likely out for at least the first game of the series with a hamstring strain. Will be interesting to see if this causes him to miss more games or impacts his play upon return.
