Series Thread: 1) Miami Heat vs. 4) Philadelphia 76ers

[bksballer89]

You watched the game right? Most of those points came in BBall Paul minutes. And in those minutes the Sixers were +3. You would think when Spo puts the training wheels on and has him play vs the 6’8’’ back up that should be a double digit plus for Miami. Didn’t happen.

Basketball is a 1 on 1 game? We need to quit acting like Bam wasn't good last night

 

[bksballer89]

Doesn't matter who the points came against. I didn't say he was scoring on embiid. I said he played well last night.

21/7 on 9/12 shooting is a really good offensive game. Nothing you guys try to say will change my mind on that.

Yeah, fair statement.

Bam had a good game, stat wise.

But, He should have dominated the Reed minutes.

Well, all the non-Embiid minutes.

Lets see if he responds next game.

 

[DJ]

What do you think of the Kid in Atlanta, Oneyeka?

Is it a case of just needing minutes?

Yeah, he needs more playing time. Don't like him as much as Mobley but think he can play.

They might deal him if they can't find enough playing time for him.

 

[bksballer89]

Basketball is not a 1 on 1 game. The guy shot 9-12. Miami not going to force Bam the ball with Reed out there. They are still going to run their offense.

Only thing I see is still being tentative but I mean you still see that with a lot of players. It seems like at times he can dominate and then he just stops being aggressive, other than that clear #2 for Miami

I think they will deal Collins, maybe Capela.

The GM said it was a mistake keeping the band together.

I like Collins.

But, he sounds like he wants to be the guy.

Tray needs to share more.

But, it's clearly his team.

I'd deal Capela and go small with Collins at C. They are a fun and gun type team.

Yeah, Young shoots too much.

Yup all he needs is a consistent jump shot and I'll be satisfied because he is a top 5 defender no debate (top 3 to me)

Fair enough. If that’s good then Sixers in 6.

Jimmy needed more help.

Bam had the only obvious advantage when Embiid sits.

The 3's were not falling.

They should have gone inside more when Embiid sat instead of launching brick after brick.

3s need to fall for them to win the series. If they shoot 34% or higher for the rest of the series, they should win

 

[DJ]

The Hawks are going to have pay Hunter after next season.

 

[bksballer89]

Fair enough. If that’s good then Sixers in 6.

Ok

 

[fightinfunbags]

See this is a funny statement to me because it seems like Miami offense in Philly through games 3 and 4 was stand around and watch Jimmy be great.

His coach specifically put him on the floor to avoid Embiid and that resulted in his team being -3. It is what it is. If that’s “good”. Then I’m good on all that. Gimme some more please. Willingly take your best cover of Embiid off the floor and have three midgets gravitate to Embiid. That just gets Harden off for a 16 point 4Q to close.

Gotta exploit the advantage instead of all those 3's when it was clear they weren't falling.

Agree.

They just didn't have it going. But, continued to launch.

Vincent should have gotten more of Lowry's minutes.

He was 0 for 6 from 3 and clearly laboring all game.

Is Duncan and Martin injured?

He used his normal rotation in this series as he used in the hawks series when it comes to Jimmy and Bam

Herro got good looks. Strus been getting the same looks he got in the Hawks series but yeah they are just sitting around watching jimmy

Nope. Can't preach depth then refuse to use guys when strus and others are playing Ike crap
