Dwight, get mean. Come clean …
Yeah you get the 20/20 but where’s the 30/30? Why not a 40/20, 40/30 or even a 40/40?
Do you really think this is beyond comprehension?

... I actually was going to pick the Sixers here because of how they limped into the playoffs. 1-6 the last seven might give one the impression the Sixers are gonna get blown out, but dude, they’re playing Orlando.
