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

That's next week.

Next week? So you have the Sixers sweeping the Heat then?

 

[Sparhawk]

Well, that escalated quickly.

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

You are in for a rude awakening.
Sixers growth over the last month has been obscene.

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

Yeah I'm looking forward to tomorrows playoff action as well. And I don't think they'll be up 30 either. But if I was gonna talk some shit (which I never do!) I would have raised the bar a bit & said 76ers by 40.

Something like that.
Heat will be a worthy stepping stone.
Be proud you get to face us for our launch.

Chew clock, never let Philly speed up the pace. Heat can steal a game or 2, then who knows.

4th longest streak of 30+ assist games ever.
Ever.

You haven't seen this sixers team yet.

They are playing great.

If you had a healthy Embiid the full series, that 30 point comment would be easier to swallow.

It would still be an exaggeration, which was likely your intention in the first place.

Noooo, not you!!!!

I think the Heat suck & will lose in 3. But I'm just trying to stir things up right now.

Lol at the Philly fans cockiness.

All of these years of losing has caused brain damage.

Guard the 3 point line. Brett Brown said you were the best at that.

Perfect first round matchup to grow us, IMO.

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

I’m not going to bet against them. I’m making the case that the casual fan will probably put money down on the Heat at +400 and it’ll be a total sucker bet.

Sixers growth over the last month has been obscene.

They played a total of 4 playoffs teams since losing to Miami on March 8th.

Went down to Indy in Philly
Beat Minnesota who are a bad team without Butler
Nearly gave up a 30 point lead at home to Cleveland who were banged up.
Beat a Bucks team who wanted to lose that game so much to avoid LBJ in round 1

Lmao. I think a Celtic fan would be worrying about losing to the Bucks in 6.

Haha, I was talking to a sixers fan when I said it.

And what has all of these years of losing caused Heat fans?

Asking for a friend.....

Dude, I am totally feeling you Philly fans.

I know @Sparhawk and @flyerhawk will continue to post regardless of the series outcome.

But, please make sure you come back if the 76ers get snuffed.

For the record, I like your bravado.

Philly fans have a reason to be confident.

How big a lead again? One word answer please...
