Sixers Conquer The Heat And Are Officially Focused On Beating The Living Piss Out Of The #2 Seed Knicks

IN NIC BATUM WE TRUST!!! Who would've thought the Sixers got the better superstar for sending Harden to the Clippers? And we're not just talking about the season saving 20 points (6-10 from downtown) off the bench. No no no no no. St. Nic also got the game saving block heard 'round South Philly:

Helluva effort from Batum and the boys. Well, at least in the second half. Don't really understand how you Wwn 8 straight to get ready for the playoffs and come out chub soft during the actual postseason. In the first half the Sixers had11 turnovers (which included 4 Jimmy swipes) and only scored 39 points. Yikes. 

But then...midway thru the third...a blessing came before our Philadelphia 76ers. Destiny by way of free chicken...

Momentum via free chicken is some of the best momentum one can have. Probably. Sure, it was a battle from that point on. Hell, an unwarranted Tobias Harris chuck with 4:38 left in the game almost sealed the L. It was such a bad decision and brick I'm not positing it out of respect for him and his family, so we'll just leave this completely different, random sequence from his game this evening: 

Good thing for humanity Joel Hans Embiid decided enough was enough and with just over 2 min to go delivered a MVP-Hard three pointer and followed it up with a 3-point play the very next possession. 

Also had a dime to Kelly Oubre Jr underneath the basket for another 3-point play, too. JoJo came into the 4th quarter with 12 points and scored 11 in the final period. That's just the MVP doing MVP shit while playing at around 75-80%. Long live Joel Hans Embiid.

It wasn't pretty, but the Sixers got the job done. Onto the Knicks. And judging by their fanbase, it's going to get ugly. Too ugly. 

Now do me a favor and CUE IT!
