Series Thread: 6) Miami Heat vs. 3) Philadelphia 76ers

[flyerhawk]

It looks like Embiid is definitely out for game 1. That might be the one for the Heat to steal HCA. A roster that is new to the playoffs, probably have a little too much adrenaline going.

If the Heat can take game 1, it may shake the Sixers confidence a bit too.

If the Sixers take this game, this will be a short series I think. Assuming that Embiid will be back by the time they get to Miami.

Huge advantage for the Sixers that this is a home game. They have been untouchable at home for 4 months or so. They are 22-2 since the new year at home.

If the Heat win it then this is likely to be a really tough series and the Heat could pull off the win.

Not for nothing - the 76ers beat the Heat without Embiid earlier this year. Different situation, different vibe, I don’t think Wade was with them then, but it may not be as big of a deal as some may expect. That -550 line has me feeling pretty good about the chances of taking Game 1.

That line is way too high.

That line is way too high.

Almost makes you want to bet on the Heat, doesn’t it? Which is why it’s got me feeling pretty good. It’s hard not to see that line and think betting on the Heat is a great value bet.

Staff predictions: Who will win Heat-76ers series?

Isolation is pathetic fucking basketball.

 

[eaglesnut]

I'm counting on the Heat to temper the hype. Its gotten a bit out of control, imo

Sixers haven't lost in a month.
They pass the ball all around the floor and get open 3s with the whole roster.
They are longer and faster than everyone.
They are deep and their biggest beast will be fresh.
They're 25-1 at home since Christmas.
Hype on.

Good way to feel stupid when the Sixers are up by 30 with 2 minutes left.

2 month avatar bet since you're so confident

Sixers won't be up 30 with 2 minutes left tomorrow night.

Deal?

They'll close it to 20 before the buzzer.

If the 76ers are up by more than 30 w/ 2 minutes left you should have to keep the new avatar for 4 months. I mean how's your Friday so far?

Itching to get these playoffs started. Sixers fans talking all tough about how they're going to be up 30 tomorrow night.

Rumors are that the Heat flight to Philly was canceled. They decided not to show up for this series. Instead, they'll be playing some golf tomorrow

Heat last played the Sixers on March 8th. Not much changed from now until then except the Sixers had a very favorable schedule with a lot of home games and took advantage of it. Good job.

Best thing about the playoffs is everyone starts at 0-0
