Game #81 - Philadelphia 76ers 98 - Toronto Raptors 122

[Demographic Shift]

Johnny Barbado in for the Yanks bottom of the 6th...

Here's why I care, a little bit, about how we play this game:

The last two years haven't shown that this organization, under Casey and led by DeMar and Lowry, has the ability to turn "it" off and on when needed. So being "off" when it doesn't matter is fine, but I already have some concerns about the playoffs, and those are less than a week away, and I'd rather see us working on the things that haven't been working lately, like our 3pt defense, than simply throwing a game away to the worst team in the league and saying "it didn't matter anyways".

Completely agree. We aren't good enough to think we can just go into the playoffs with bad habits and turn it on whenever we want. Especially since our defense is KEY to us winning in the playoffs. Our offense isn't good enough. I don't care where we are ranked in offense. It's a very easy offense to stop. Especially when you have two guys who love to go ISO. So yea I'm with you. I at least want to see good defense which we aren't seeing

meh if they kept Sixers at 0% from 3 I would not taken it seriously because it's Sixers.

I don't entirely disagree but we have had a strong season (in b4 'yeah but first round sweep') and it is simply not reasonable to ask a group of 12 human beings to be tip top perfect every single day. And we're still gonna win anyways

The burden of expectation. When you beat a bad team, it's not an accomplishment. But when you shit the bed to a bad team, you still have to sleep in it.

[GLF]

All I'm saying is we shouldn't be looking THIS sloppy at this point in the season no matter who we play. If we can still play this bad that's not a good sign for the playoffs. These type of games should be behind us by now.

yeah unless one of our guys gets hurt.

Carroll for 3!

[ball4life]

I like this lineup

[GLF]

Carroll has literally looked VERY good when he's used correctly. He's hit a very good percentage from three since he's come back. START HIM! Demar and Kyle will get him those open 3's

[Barolt]

yeah unless one of our guys gets hurt.

But that's different. If we were giving guys the night off and lost because of that, that'd be one thing. But when everyone's 'playing', but noone's PLAYING, that's less acceptable to me.

[Hotshot]

See!!!!
