They're going to get bombed out by the Bucks.
Lowry is a very good and value player too. I've always enjoyed watching him. Contributes a ton in a variety of areas (and even did tonight). He just chokes up come playoff time, though, and his normally reliable shot is nowhere to be found.
I'd like to say I'd hope it will come back for him against Milwaukee, but I know it won't. But Siakam can and should play much better than this at least. [Reply]

Even in the 3 minutes he missed tonight, I think Philly was like -11.
Yeah, not saying embiid was a star. He wasnt his best because gasol played him well. But where gasol seems better built to handle the minutes, embiid can't. Toward the end of the series you could really see it take a toll on him. Late in the game yesterday he just wasn't putting effort into box outs and can't say I blame him.
I wasn't a fan of Philly trading for butler given his attitude issues. But yesterday was a good illustration of why they needed him. He was spectacular in the closing minutes. Ben Simmons... Man, I really want to love the guy, but that's just so hard to plan around a player you're blatantly trying to hide. [Reply]

wow lucky you that you got to experience that. Just watching the replay's of that shot...fuck that was just an incredible shot. [Reply]

For sports moments I’ve attended, it was right there with the Bautista bat flip. Maybe higher. [Reply]
