Went to bed after the 3rd q. Woke up surprised, and also not surprised that they almost 'Raptored' it last night.

If the statement is “Celtics might be in trouble if they are missing Hayward, Baynes, Smart and take 30 less free throws against the Sixers” you are probably right unfortunately.

[YouNeverKnow25]

don't give two shits about statements or non-statements, but when you get yourself ejected I don't think you get to factor into the "we didn't have him" equation

Smart is an idiot for what he did last night and that’s on him but I’m not sure what to say if you don’t think him being on the floor changing things late in games.

[YouNeverKnow25]

yes...but when he himself is the reason he's not on the floor, him not being there to change things can't exactly be waved away. it's like saying "well that win doesn't really count because our best player fouled out." fouls are part of the game. being ejected is part of the game.

So you agree with my statement. If smart continues to pull that shit and gets ejected the Celtics are in trouble.

Not sure how stating facts is arrogant. Bucks have played like ass lately and are still the best team in the league.

Bucks fans getting arrogant

Lakers fans are gone.

Sixers fans actually showing up in thread.

What is happening?!?!

[Rodey]

Sorry for being arrogant, guys. Guess I should ignore season-long stats and metrics.

Pretty funny that someone who has stated the Bucks could easily lose in the playoffs is being called arrogant. Let alone by a Sixers fan who keep proclaiming every win a statement.

[Rodey]

And we haven't even talked about how Embiid had to go 40+ minutes for the Sixers to beat a shorthanded Celtics team.

To be fair he spent at least 10 of those minutes on the floor.

Playoffs gonna be tough for you since there's no LeBron, hey? Should have picked a Kittens team.

[Speilmen230]

My buddy's dad is friends with Luke Kennard's family. It will be fun to watch him in the playoffs. Not picking up a kittens team though.

Just gonna sit back and enjoy the playoffs.

Yeah I think you have the wrong poster for that last part.

[Noles20]

I was just backreading the golf tips thread to see how it started. The 3 of you are all over the first few pages. Rodey, did you ever get your driver straightened out?

[gonz085]

That was rough to backread hahaha. Cannit believe I used to post things like “ur”.

I was reading posts I made in 2009. I was really good then. I've played so poorly these last few seasons. I also found posts about taking my son out who was 4 and 5 at the time. He is now 15 and a 3 handicap. He'll be scratch by the end of the summer.

That is awesome. I rarely get to play anymore but went out with a buddy this fall and was able to put up a 79. I wish I could get out more. Thankfully that same friend is a golf fiend so he’s good for finding us good deals every now and again.

Really impressive to hear about your son. Truly.

[Rodey]

Now that you mention it, no. I haven't straightened out my driver.

Haven't been golfing in awhile, though. Makes me want to get out.

[Rodey]

Sixers were at full strength and lost to the Hawks? Yikes.

[smokew11]

statement win for the hawks

[gonz085]

They always play down to shitty teams. It’s my number 1 gripe about them. Told my buddy they’d probably lose to the Hawks on Thursday. Incredibly annoying.

Most nba teams do. I’d be more worried about the Sixers record against legit opponents.

Either they show up round 2 or they don’t. That will be the test. Anything until then doesn’t mean much to me unless they fall apart. Watching that game last night made me way too frustrated.

That would be the definition of a dumpster fire.
