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

[Bolts]

Isn't the phrase something like a series doesn't start until a road team win a game?

Yep

 

[flyerhawk]

Best thing about the playoffs is it doesn't matter how many points you win or lose by, they all count the same.

Sixers didn't win 3 games last night because they won by 27

The Sixers aren't going to shoot 60% from the 3 again most likely.

As I said last night, if they play that way for the entire playoffs then they're winning the title and going 16-0

Lose by 30 in game 1 and this guy is already conceding game 2

I'm not actually

The Heat need game #2.

You cant go 0-2 in Philly when they are not even using Embiid yet.

It'd be nice for sure. When Philly goes small, it basically phases Whiteside out for the game (that and a perceived lack of effort, maybe I'm being too critical). If Embiid's in the game, it allows Whiteside to play to his strength. If I'm Philly, I let Embiid rest for the series, because Philly has a nice steady rotation of perimeter players.

Yeah I more or less agree with this. I wouldn't be surprised if the Sixers wait until they lose a game before Embiid shows up.

Heat 2-1 vs Philly with Embiid
Heat 0-2 vs Philly without Embiid

Basically everything @Heatles84 said is true. Heat can still play Hassan but honestly unless he has one of those games where he is dominating from tip then I would only play him when Amir Johnson is on the floor. Use Bam/JJ at C otherwise

The Sixers are real, and the Heat are in trouble.

Heat aren't technically in trouble until they lose a home game

And 27 isn't technically 30. Blah blah blah your week will suck.

You're not good at this trolling schtick.

 

[bksballer89]

We'll see.

I don't get all the celebrating for 1 home win in a best of 7 series

Did they have a parade yesterday?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

You totally called that Shit, got to give you props.

It was a convincing win. So, you deserve to clown all you want.

Just don't go Casper if /when your team gets bounced.

 

[trojanfan12]

You didn't answer his question though.

What you guys need to understand about @TurnUpTheHeat is he looks at it from a different perspective than the rest of us because he is a season ticket holder and has been for several years now.....which is much different than most of us who maybe go to 1-2 games per season at most and are not investing in season tickets yearly and are just watching our favorite team on TV

Yeah, I completely get Turnups view.

Over the past few years of the Lakers "process". I have still enjoyed the games because I've enjoyed watching the kids develop and learn.

I'd like to say that I would feel the same if I were a season ticket holder, but I can't honestly say that I would.

devoting a 1/4 ofyour payroll to that type of player in todays pace and space league just may be counter productive....
