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

Somebody didn't want Oladipo in the playoff rotation.....

LOL.

Your point? Every single person covering the Heat thought the same. Duncan struggles after game 1 vs the Hawks made this a very easy decision. Had Dunc continued his hot shooting, solid chance he doesn't get into the rotation

I’ll take prime westbrook just because he gave it everything he had. Way too many bad decisions but the guy was an alpha

At their prime...

But today I would prefer to have Harden, but I don't like either of them.

I would still take Russ in the right situation where he can still be Russ. Harden in a perfect situation and still looking crazy

MVP back in Philly sitting in a dark room. “Perfect situation”

I don't see Westbrook being a good fit for any winning team. Maybe he'd be fun to watch and would sell tickets on a terrible team.

Not talking about now. Talking about going to Philly

Philly is the perfect situation for him to be Harden again and he's been a failure

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Their chance to steal one was the first game.

Well, if Embiid comes back Game 3 and it’s worth watching. You can’t shoot like shit and steal a game short handed. Jimmy Butler is fun to watch. Surgeon tonight.

Would stealing a game or 2 back home in Philly be considered a thing for the Sixers now at this point?

Asking for a friend.

Yeah when he first got there he and Embiid looked like the best pick and roll duo ever. And it all went away.

 

[bksballer89]

So what happens when the home team win every game? Does the series never start?

I’d take Harden at his peak over peak Westbrook any day. I’m not even a fan of the guy, but to me that’s an easy choice.

It was a bad call.

But, the crucial point of the game was the entire 2nd half when Harden quit.

If you are thinking that singular incident broke their spirits, clearly, they were broken before then.

It was right after matisse had a clean block and they called him for a foul on a 3.

 

[eaglesnut]

lol @Sixers fans blaming the refs because their team traded for the wrong guy.

Maybe Lakers fans can blame the refs for Westbrook? lol

We were trading away a steaming pile of shit. We got what we could get.

 

[Sparhawk]

True, the rest of you are blaming DeAndre Jordan and the refs.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Combining Maxey, Harris and Harden those 3 shot pretty well. The issue was and is that they have no one else past that they can count on.

Korkmaz led the team in rebounding.
With 6.
In like 13 minutes.

The issue is that the MVP is out from an elbow to the face. Spacing is better. Team defense is better. Shit, every aspect of what they do is better with him on the floor.
