Game #72 Raps at Bulls Monday March 21st 8:00pm on TSN

[Jclaw]

Well, since you asked, add a Lakers (improbable) loss and a Philly W.

Why mess with a good thing?

Even so, absent of Fred last night,
(and after the 1st quarter)
that wasn't the ending I expected.

But credit Coach.
About 1 quarter in he figured out that
Gary/Scottie/Pascal/Precious/Chris
was the line up that worked.
And worked it did.

Did you see the work Precious put in on Embiid last night?
(well, of course you did but play along)

I know.
Apparently Joel had a sore back last night .
Not surprising seeing as though he's carrying the entire team on it.

Also,
I sense there was some frustration about a certain player missing 2 free throws in crunch time last night.
But go easy on him...
He's only a ten time allstar, former MVP and 3 time league scoring champion, making $44 million this year.
He'll come around

I also feel a bit bad for the Sixers.
They have the unfortunate task of playing Kyle Lowry in back to back games.
The play the actual him tonight.
Last night they had to deal with him in spirit

and with the throw in in his trade

All in all a fun night.
Didn't realize it but Sixers tears taste just as sweet as those from some other Atlantic foes

Whew...that was a lot of work. But the Raps Sixers thread is done!

What now?
We're playing again tonight?

Welcome to Raps at Bulls!

You want playoffs?
Here it is.
Games this week against the Bulls and the Cavs that will go a long way in determining
whether we have a play in game against the Nets
or we ascend to the (gulp) 5 seed

Won't be easy.
I was going to start by saying don't sleep on Gary tonight.
He's bound to have a rebound game now that he has Freddy to feed him shots.
Sleep away.

Oh well, to paraphrase the big bad wolf,
all the more 6'9" forwards we can throw at you.

Here's who we're facing tonight

PG

SG

SF

PF

C

Guess we'll go with something like
Freddy/Scottie/Pascal/............

Going to need someone to bang with Vuc and someone not to bite on DeMar's pump fakes

It's a back to back but we can do it.

Let's make it 0-16

Go Raps.

NHL trade deadline and a Raps game.
Homemade chicken parm in the oven, cold beer in the fridge.
I'm good.

trent is out with a sore toe.....they just cant get healthy

[Jclaw]

the opposition agrees

[G__Deane]

Looks like we broke the Sixers:
Reports: 76ers' Harden, Embiid will not play against Heat

[gambler]

they are reports that simmons has a herniated disk

pretty hilarious....1st 10 minutes of the 76ers podcast they are insinuating that a playoff series against either the celtics or raptors would be a pick em.

If we are fully healthy, yes.

[Dvdvideo]

This is why you need sometimes to stay the course, all of the sudden Chicago doesn't seem so great, the nets look weaker, and Philly isn't what they hoped either. And the bucks are over rated in a 7 game series. So a big yes, who knows come playoff time what could happen if we have a healthy team.

[G__Deane]

Sixers, Bucks and Celtics are all for real if healthy. Nets too, especially if Simmons comes back but I woudn't count out Durant and Kyrie.
Heat, Bulls and Cavs are all arguably playing over the heads.
Like most of these teams, Raps could go a few rounds or be out in the first.

[bertarapsfan]

Calling a few more timely armoni brooks 3s tn. Gotta hit 2 or 3 to make up for no Gary

[Jclaw]

We broke the Sixers......again

great minds

[bertarapsfan]

Enjoy the Trex bowl everyone!!

[The Claw Reborn]

Just so tiring to see this slow start YET again

Sub Birch ffs

interior defense, rebounding and even those 5 footer bunnies…he cannot even justify the 18 million dollars

and I so wasted all those posts debating with DanH insisting to start Birch over Scottie

[The Claw Reborn]

Birch is so helpless out there

this is Baynes all over again

what a nightmare

[Jclaw]

Hang in there while coach tinkers
