We didn't manage to win a road game against the Bucks. Let's see if this team can finally learn how to win on the road in the playoffs.

They had game 4 in Milwaukee. A couple bad calls went against us late that swung points in their favor.

Had we had Smart in the game, we win it and probably don’t even go back to Milwaukee again in game 6.
Not really true.  We had some bad calls go in our favor too.

Listen...if Philly can’t win today...at home...then they flat out are overwhelmed and will be swept. I expect we see everything they have and then some. Lots of off balanced threes falling.

Game threes on the road for teams up 2-0 are the hardest to win in the series.
All the pressure is on the sixers which is exactly what they don’t need. C’s only have to win one in philly.

Yeah we just have to get one of the next two.  Probably easier to win game 3 either way, because if we lose game 3, Philly will have momentum going into game 4.

Yeah, the NBA 2-minute report disagrees with you. The Bucks legitimately only won that game due to officiating errors down the stretch that they scored on.

C's gotta be ready to get hit in the face right from the start.  It is a long game of runs, be ready from the start.

Simmons got away with a hook on Rozier.
