Easily!! no doubt about it... I was there.. these Sixers fans went from cheering everyone of their players saying they are amazing in the first half and that they have a good chance to win it all... yes again they were saying they would win it all!!! And then the second half they were talking trash about all their players besides Simmons and that they would lose in the first round... lol smh these Philly fans were crazy!

You can praise Cedi and preach patience for his development as an offensive player/shooter without blaming the work that still needs to go into his shot on the coaches.

And it’s the other team that puts Cedi in the position to shoot the wide open three by sagging off him. He has to either:

A: make the shots
B: drive and kick/shoot
C: find someone else with a pass

Nope. He didn't have to stand at the top of the 3pt line. They trapped James and left Cedi wide open because we gave them that opportunity by using Osman as an On Ball screen setter/Roll Man. They wisely took their chances on Cedi after being embarrased by James on similar actions. If Love set the screens they wouldn't have doubled James.

You put your worst 3pt shooters in the Corners and you attack the side with the strongest shooters.

You don't want to do that? sub in one of the best shooters in the history of the game.

Coaching Rich.

Coach Lue is one of the worst coaches I’ve ever personally seen... we weren’t giving up 30 point leads in a half with Larry drew coaching.. who I personally don’t think he’s a very good coach either.. but Lue is just on a whole another level of shitty coaching.. this team will never win another championship with him as coach.. whether we get another superstar or not.

I mean Lue literally came out after last night and Thanked lebron and the players for bailing him out that game cuz he wasn’t back into coaching form yet... like wtf? What coach says that kind of stupid shit?

He played 33 minutes after not playing at all for I don't know how long.

My gripe is with that right there. Screw the "next man up" and "always stay ready" routine. How does a guy not see the floor and is then asked to play 33 minutes including like 20 straight?

Against Philly.

Nobody on this team knows any semblance of a regular rotation and nobody has a clue about how many minutes they're going to play on any given night.

Have to think that as a player, that must be difficult for game preparation.

Yea cuz Lue doesn’t know wtf he’s doing.. I mean I was shocked to read this morning that jr and TT may not be in the playoff rotation... well then why am I still seeing them play in these regular season games over Larry nance and other players that are supposedly getting their playing time in the playoffs? Jr played almost 30 mins and TT played the same amount as Larry nance? So wtf is Lue really doing for lineups when the playoffs come around in a couple weeks? Or does he not even know himself yet still?
 
Philly fans really are pretty crazy though.. in a stupid kind of way.. they were talking shit to me all game long but then were silent whenever I bet them 500 that we would still win in the playoffs in 6 or less games if we ended up meeting each other there.. lol
 
Lue has zero idea how to manage a rotation. Green starting is still fucking absurd.

Really?? I get the overreaction. But Frye was slow as fukk and couldn't keep up with the speed of Philly. Jefferson's jumper was broke.

Frye owned Embiid when he played...
 
I don't understand this team. I am absolutely disgusted by their atrocious defense and I only hope to the basketball gods we can out shoot anyone in a several minute stretch.

Does this all but lock up the 4 seed, neither team owns the tie breaker? Someone help me out. I can only imagine this team is taking on the James mantra of seeding doesn't matter because if some guys wanted the 3 seed and still sucked that badly for an entire half, we have more to worry about.

If it's a given, Cavs the 4 seed. I think they sweep Indiana but then their toughest competition is the 2nd round with the Raptors...if they make it to the conference finals (they will), that could be as one sided as their first round series.
 
Philly about to moonwalk to the eastern conference finals as the 3 seed.
