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

[fightinfunbags]

Expect the Heat to go with these defensive matchups

BAM on EMBIID
Strus on Green

These are the obvious ones. The 3 below they can honestly mix up in a few different ways but I think at the start of the series, it will look like this:

Lowry on Maxey
Tucker on Harden
Butler on Harris

I also think you guys are more likely to go zone vs this team. But they’ll change it up and Spo will have a great plan.

 

[logic]

I want the 76ers in 6, but I think it'll be Heat in 5. Would love it if it went 7.

 

[fightinfunbags]

This is a tough series to handicap. Sixers and Heat played 4 times. All 4 times the Sixers were on the second game of a B2B.
Game 1 - No Butler, Bam, Herro for Heat. No Harden for Philly
Game 2 - No Bam No Harden
Game 3 - No Harden
Game 4 - No Harden Embiid

I wouldn't

I don’t care for Harden and I really dislike Embiid.

I don’t care for Lowry and I really dislike Butler.

Coin flip. Heat in 7.

4 of the most respectable men in the game.

Lol you're a chump.

Job one for the Sixers is for everybody to build up Mattise. Heat are already gonna play a lot of zone and they absolutely need his defense against Jimmy Butler. He’s really down right now. I think the public scrutiny about his vaccine stuff got in his head.

Yeah people like you are stupid assholes.

Sixers in 6

Lowry is a flopping bitch. He’s no Philly guard. No self respecting bull from Philly would flop the way he does.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yeah people like you are stupid assholes.

Haha! This one was retarded. His principles didn’t matter when he took the first shot but then he had principles and didn’t take the second shot to the detriment of his team? Horrible take. If he’s standing on principle I can disagree but I get it. But to take the first and not the second and you cite a principle? That’s some inconsistent bull shit.

I cited canadian politicians needing to be murdered along with their families actually.

You said Harden's one of the most respected players in the league. What a good laugh.

He demanded a trade outta Houston. He demanded a trade outta Brooklyn. The only place he's respected is that Houston strip club that retired his number.

 

[avalon2423]

I hope Oladipo earned himself some serious playing time. He should be taking all of Duncans minutes and more of others. He can be that difference maker on this team.

Nice matchup. Heat in 6

Yeah I was gonna say that. Harden is arguably the LEAST respected player in the league. But that guy had to go there, because he's a Sixer now. It's how sports fandom works.

 

[fightinfunbags]

They’ve gotta hunt him and make the Heat pay for having him on the floor. He’s their most gifted offensive player.
