    I think we were overrating Tobias Harris too.

    Say what you will about Rockets fans but they wouldn't be booing their own team in game 1 of a series. Or ever. Though they might leave early like Sixers fans are currently doing.

    Even if philly escapes this series, they won’t be coming out of the east with as many holes they have.

    I give Philtydelphia less than 3 years before they start breaking up the team. Impostors.

    The game that they clinched the playoffs they finished the game with Dudley at the 5. Atkinsons is a absolute lunatic

    This is the way Brooklyn plays, which always surprises me to see how trash their record is.

    You must be kidding. Butler was the one that kept Philly in the game. Butler was the only one hoopin. Butler would be perfect in Houston.

    It took them a little bit to get to playing with this kind of chemistry at the start of the season.

    You think he fits well with us? Every time I watch him play - seems like the fit wouldn’t be good - I can be persuaded

    I second this. He might be the only reason they didn't lose by 30. I'll take him and all of his baggage provided he understands it's Harden's team.

    People forget they had to battle injuries. Both Levert and Dinwiddie missed time because of injury. everyone stayed healthy this year I think they would have had a better record.

    They do seem to be jelling at the right time.

    I think one of the most underrated parts of moreyball is that it gives a team a true identity. It allows you to plug in role guys who know exactly what their job is. Philly just looks like they don't know what they want to do from possession to possession, you know?

    Didn't BKN beat us rather handily this year?

    Agreed, he's a good player but not a game changer, too bad for Philly they paid for him like he is a game changer.

    Jimmy is basically the only one who didn't choke in this game, not shocked, still the first game though, would be shocked if Sixers don't pass this round just with their talent.
