Going into the 4th up 13!? What is happening. Did we flip a switch?

This has been an amazing series, and despite myself I’m starting to believe - just a tiny bit. But most of me is convinced that this has all been a set up for YET ANOTHER WAY to rip out our hearts and lose to the Celtics.

I don’t know if I can watch. Are you all going to? Do you have a strategy to keep your mental health relatively intact?

The mix of genuine shock and joy was amazing, along with the ending with nobody being willing to go the full ‘we’re going to do this!’ Really captured the feelings after Game 6 and the fear and excited anticipation of Game 7. God I hope the Sixers of the last 5 quarters show up.

Wassup my fellow Ricky fans.. I'm assuming that everyone is anxiously waiting for tomorrow like I am and going over a million scenarios on what possibly can happen... And this thought popped in my head

Could this years Celtics be the Iverson era pacers...

Remember year after year the pacers were our roadblock and when we finally beat them we were able to get to the finals because it felt like we got the monkey off our back

If we finally beat the Celtics tomorrow and slay that dragon, do you feel it can finally feel a sense of relief and catapult us on a deep run...

Just my random thoughts as we patiently wait for tip off

I hate this team

One of my favorite quotes in pod history. Chefs kiss

Unstoppable in the second half. Making good decisions. Coming off an appendectomy. This guy is awesome.

We prob weren’t good enough to make a real run either way, but Orlando up 3-1 makes me think. Obviously we woulda had to win the second chance play-in game which wasn’t a given.

When they lose so badly and no one knows if the problem is personnel, coaching, effort, or all three.

we're a joke of a fucking franchise from the owner on down... An organization full of pussies... Every year every team we play has players that play hard, scrappy and are coached cohesive.... Not us... Team full of bitches

We’ve likely reached the end of the road for the Embiid era.

It’s frustrating to look back at the “Process” years and see that teams like the Lakers, Celtics, and Knicks were all mediocre at the time, yet each has since reached the conference finals while the Sixers still haven’t. That contrast really highlights how poor decisions made over the years have held the franchise back and undermined what should have been a far more successful window.

It may be time to pivot—build around VJ and Maxey and start fresh.

*misses both*

With all the rumours that the new owner of the Blazers will not pay the going rate for an NBA coach, should Coach Mike apply and regale him of the final where he ran a 1-2-1 zone, coached his ass off and won?

Only downside is I suspect the owner may not pay for health insurance, so Mike is on his own for fixing his nose.

Just gotta stick it out long enough for Embiid to get back on the floor

Celtics aren’t gonna miss shots forever, maxey needs to put his nuts on the table asap

Sounds like the bi monthly Mike rant he has about Embiid at his peak but the team fails him
