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

[Shanemansj13]

You know if a hand hit you or if it was a ball. Pretty obvious.

 

[DJ]

Damn, the Heat balling.

 

[fightinfunbags]

What a difference home court makes, amirite funbags?

Gotta give it to you.

At the same time, how do you show up for the biggest game of the season with zero energy? That’s just unacceptable to me. Mind boggling. If that’s a product of the road, ok. But man, that shouldn’t be if you want to be a champion.

All that being said, they can’t play worse. They have time to turn it out around.

Hey!!! I’d like to know what flight gives you a 12 ounce BOTTLE of beer like the one on the commercial with Butler on it?

 

[fightinfunbags]

Imagine if Doc had played B Ball Paul before the playoffs.

If we’re gonna bang on Doc tonight it’s on him not having stuff to get Embiid touches closer to the rim for him to work.

Fair point. Usually cans

Heat are doing a great job rebounding.

Embiid really bailing them out by not attacking. Have to think that is related to his injury.

 

[fightinfunbags]

This is disgusting because they haven’t even shown up to compete in a Game 5 of a playoff series.

Since Embiid waited until Adebayo subbed out to do anything aggressive offensively, that must mean he isn’t an MVP caliber player.

Right?

This is the opposite of the way you would think a guy who wants to make a statement would come out and compete. I agree with the comment on the injuries. At the same time, if you’re going to take the floor your team needs you to compete.

A chartered flight

Schadenfreude. Love it!

Yeah, I was with you. Thought he would come out on fire today. Hasn’t been the case.

Not just Embiid though.

Almost seems like something may have happened behind the scenes that has the whole team distracted.

Who knows. But either way, what is being put out on the floor is unacceptable.

You buying the Joel is pouting over the MVP narrative?

He doesn't strike me as that weak-minded.

There has to another reason.

I don’t.

Maybe the injury is in his head, or maybe something else is causing everyone to be off.

I hope we find out later.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yeah, home crowd elevates the team especially the role players. Nothing new

 

[tlance]

I don’t usually advocate for punting on a playoff game this early, but it is almost time for Philly to go to the bench.

 

[JayVee]

Man. I'll give you credit where it is due. You hang in good or bad. The other loudmouth Philly fucks like to tuck and run.
