The Sixers are so confident in Game 6 they have released tickets for the second round of the playoffs. What could go wrong?

If I know anything about the Sixers, I know they’ve never jumped the gun in the playoffs:

Listen, I know you have to do this to maximize value or some other business mumbo jumbo, and some guy who went to Penn in the comments is going to tell me that and not even read the article. But this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It’s not the ticket offices fault. It’s the 12 guys and coaches on the team. The last two games were flat, Joel Embiid’s thumb has more tape on it than Howie Roseman has on a Pac-12 wide receiver, and James Harden’s hamstring is linguine. This team zapped away all the juice they had from being up 3-0. So, excuse me if Embiid looking miserable on a playoff announcement doesn’t make me want to plant my ass in the 200 level.
But wait…hold on a second…is that? No! It can’t be! Is that the braceless right thumb of Embiid? –
