We, For Some Reason, Asked Scary Terry Rozier About Guarding Scarier TJ McConnell Way Back When In November

HA! What a shockingly relevant clip that in no way should ever be relevant, let alone in the playoffs. Devlin straight up SCOFFED at my notion of the scrappy bench warrior TJ McConnell being “The hardest guy to guard in the NBA” (as he should have). Terry, not so much.

“He’s fast…don’t think you’re gonna take a night off playing against him…”

Scary Terry wasn’t wrong.

A career high 19 points, 7 bourds, 5 assists, and Philly’s first win in the series later, the little Sixers engine that could validated Terry’s November point. Will it matter much in the end? We all want the Sixers to win in 7 so, so bad. But it probably won’t happen. And by probably I mean it hasn’t happened in the previous 129 times a NBA team has fallen 0-3 in a 7 game season, so that’s that.
The Celtics will most likely close it out at the Garden in Game 5 (love me some reverse mush). At least TJ will be out there again annoying the ever living fuck out of Rozier and the Celtics. Well, that is if Scary Terry and Embiid don’t end each other first.

Love it. Can’t wait for the next 10 years of this rivalry. Still should’ve taken out Terry Rozier when I had the chance, even though he would’ve killed me instantly, eaten my heart, and carried my head around on a stake. Damn you, destiny. Why must you always smite thee?
