Ya got us @ESisback . We're knotted up. One of our teams is bound to go sometime here in the very near future. Both very young teams. Hope it's the Sixers, Boston has enough Championships as of late. Besides, the Celtics ruined our postseason run last season.

Even the Bruins are tied with the 2nd best record in hockey. Has a city ever won all 4 professional championships?

We really have to come together and figure out cohesive rotations before the playoffs. We are too inconsistent. Its started to get better, but those LA losses for us were ugly

76ers look legit. Toronto is still my pick to come out of the East with the Gasol trade. But the 76ers have a very strong squad. Harris is the perfect fit for them. Honestly if it came down to keeping Butler or Harris, I'd keep Harris. Better fit for that squad
They looked legit last year too. They're getting closer each year. Only a matter of time.

Celtics don’t seem to have that spark that they had last year, and Hayward’s not the player he was before that bad injury in game 1 last year. Boston is deep, but their rotations need adjusted before the playoffs. They seem to lose too much to inferior teams like they did the other night to L.A. Maybe they’ll step it up for the playoffs. That seems to be the trend in today’s NBA—coast in the regular season, flip a switch in the playoffs.

76ers look good though. They have a bright future.

Too many lead dog types. We need some guys, like Brown and Rozier to play more like role players. Its probably out of there nature, but its gotta happen. We don't have the defensive chokehold we did last year

Well, I'm glad you two have met. Now I'm really in trouble. :laugh:
I'm probably the only 76ers fan in here.

I hope the Spurs get to 26 consecutive playoff appearances and break the Red Wings' record among U.S. professional franchises.

The process worked. It's just a matter of whether they can get a Championship out of it.
And like the Cowboys, it's now or never. Don't let the window close. Because if it does, it will be nailed shut for many years again.

I'm surprised they didn't get rid of Brett Brown a few years back. The fans, including myself, wanted his head. The Sixers were awful.

As it stands, with two top potential 10 level players Philadelphia will be able to field championship caliber teams for the next decade. May take a few players to figure the right mix. Or they might have it now. I like Reddick and Harris on that team. It will be interesting to see how Butler fits come playoff time though

They need to figure out how to win without Embid first. They looked like the old Sixers with tonight's circus act vs Portland. :mad:

Sixers will be fine! They’re better than the C’s right now, and rising. My Celtics are an underachieving disappointment. They lost by 10 tonight to a team that’s won 15 freakin’ games! They’re most likely a first rounder loser. Already speculating about offseason moves in Bean Town!

Im still hopeful they turn it around. I don't see them going the distance though. They are gonna have to make some moves in the offseason to balance the roster out

Think Irving’s gone? What about Tatum? Think they have a shot at AD?

I think Irving will resign. With AD and Tatum its hard to tell right now. That AD situation is so dramatic, who knows what it will be by July. I do know his stance on resigning with Boston has softened since he madr his trade demand
