The NBA released the first four start times for the Sixers/Raptors playoff schedule:

I didn’t even know we were still having a playoffs after the Timberwolves won the title last night:

Good schedule. Remember the Monday, 5 p.m. start time for Game 2 in 2019 vs the Nets? That was truly awful scheduling. I hope that guy got canned immediately after that series.

Is it me or does this postseason have the least amount of juice since Andre Iguodala led the fighting Doug Collins’ in the 2012 playoffs as an 8 seed? Now those playoffs ended up turning out awesome. These I don’t know how. I’m more worried about the matchup against the Raptors than I would be if we drew the Heat in the second round. Great coach, hungry young guys, and most of the core from that championship team in 2019. I’m holding out hope that Joel Embiid knows he’s going to get smoked in the MVP voting so he goes on some “Fuck You Tour” and puts the Sixers on his back. Doc might not be the greatest X’s and O’s guy, but he’s a good motivator. We need a “nobody believes in us” speech better than Kurt Russell in Miracle. I’m hoping James Harden has a week to rest his hamstring and comes out looking like what we saw in his first five games as a 76er. I’m hoping a cooked Danny Green can give us 30 minutes in Games 3 and 4 or we get good Tobias Harris. I also hope someone knocks on my door one day hands me a duffel bag with $10 million in it and I can go retire on an island somewhere early.

It’s the hope that kills you. Sixers in 6.
