Stan Van Gundy’s wall is down. The armies of the dead (led by the reanimated corpse of Jared Dudley) are heading towards our city. It’s time for the Philadelphia 76ers to ban together and make a stand. You might say they need to #PhilaUnite.
A win tonight in Game 2 over the Brooklyn Nets would (at least, temporarily) quiet the building controversies swirling around this team as fiercely as the tornado warning that hit Philadelphia in the middle of the night. Plenty of would-be contenders have been slow to start the playoffs and dropped an initial game to a less talented opponent; an eventual five- or six-game series win would allow us to look back and laugh at the time nearly three-quarters of the team failed to show up for a playoff game.
