It was like a kind of, it was a new level of bravado for him because it was like, could have gone badly.

If you blow the game, that ends up looking badly and he was fine with it.

And I like him.

And I love that he told Philly fans, don't sell your tickets.

Get all the tickets.

We can't have these Knicks fans coming down on Amtrak overpaying for our tickets.

We don't want it to sound like Madison Square Garden.

He laid down the gauntlet for the Sixers fans who have been waiting, waiting for this team.

So let's do it.

It's amazing how it's turned from Hawks series is not going well.

We got to fire the coach.

Like, where's the honest trade to summer?

What's the move to now?

Like, oh, the East has broken right for us.

The more painful series loss is definitely the Knicks.

As painful as it would be for Philly and their fans to get a taste of this and then have the rug pulled out in the same round where the rug is always pulled out for them.

I think...

to get those three games against that team, the Celtics, and to vanquish them the way they did and to just get a glimpse of what this team could be, if they continue to play well and lose to the Knicks, I still think it feels like a fun season with some hope for next season for the Sixers.

And we eliminated the number two seed Boston Celtics, our ancient, ancient rival for the first time in a long, long time.

Yeah, first time since 82.
