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

[Mecca]

He had one game this season where he scored more than 11 points against the 76ers. Saying he gave them fits all season is strange. Like I said, he’s a good player and it’s no surprise he’s putting up some points. I don’t expect this to be an every game occurrence.

He has 11 in the first half.

If you have 5 or 6 guys that can check him, why aren't they doing it?

It's not like anyone else on the Heat is burning down the nets.

My bad....he has 13...lol

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Huge back to back 3's.

There are probably 5 or 6 guys on the 76ers you could put on him.

They better start then. 13 points in just 13 minutes. 5 of 8 from the field and he also has 5 rebounds.

Keep forcing it Ben.

I agree

 

[DJ]

Tighten up the damn defense in the 2nd half, both you teams!!!!

 

[Gman]

Good game.

 

[DJ]

Stop forcing it Ben.

Playoff basketball causes some unusual feelings in youngsters.

 

[DJ]

He hasn't fallen that far down the rabbit hole.

Maybe Howard 2.0?

Not as good as HE thinks he is.

Very serviceable. But, playing in a era that's contrary to his skill set.

Howard revived his career a bit this season, which he needs to. Gotta play another 7-10 years since he has little kids being spit out at rabbit levels.

...14 now.

Maybe the 76ers need to put those 5 or 6 guys on the floor at the same time?

Yep.

He finally got the message that he isn't a #1 option and has settled into a not certain role in that team.

But, I think Mitch is gonna trade his ass.

* not sure if there is bad blood for the Lakers days *

I expect wholesale changes to that roster.

They should go Samson and Delilah biblical on him... cut his hair when he's not looking.

Philly better hope Embiid is ready for Game 2

 

[DJ]

Simmons on pace for a trip-doub but he has 5 TO"s and is 3-of-9 from the field.

It's a 4 point game and we have an entire 2nd half to play......plenty of shit can change.



ESPECIALLY IF BOTH TEAMS PLAY MORE DEFENSE!!!!

 

[DJ]

Shit always looks better on TV but I did enjoy the triple melt nachos. The burrito sucked.


Damn Mecca not cooking for me.

It's still a close game.

Outside of that Dude who had the 76ers by 30, nobody expected it to be a blowout without Embiid, right?

 

[OregonDucks]

76ers are a fun team to watch. Whoever that GM was who started "trust the process" should be given the key to the city. Fun team who is going to be scary scary good in the East in a year or two. If not able to make a deep run this year.
