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

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Heat need to find a way to defend the 3 better. Too many open looks tonight from simple screen action. Nothing complicated

It’s Whitesides fault.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

He already said he's not doing any farewell tour. He will likely go out the same way Duncan did. Just announce it in the summer

He’s done it for 2 years now.
Pretty much going out like Elton John.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Fuck.

234 on the Heat +6.5.

Down the drain.

I bet 5k.

Good news is the Heat are playing like crap. This is much better than playing a really good game 1 and still losing on the road because you know the chances of you playing that way in game 2 is not very likely.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

At least I didn't put 5k on them.

You summabitch...lol

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

He didn't help his cause in the few times he did that ball. He still takes that stupid floater which almost never goes in

To be fair to Spo, he had a quick hook with most of the players tonight. TJ, J-Rich, and Hassan are all around the same minutes tonight. All 3 been bad.

The only player with more minutes than he deserved is probably Dragic....He's been just as bad

It’s a clusterfuck, good or bad, when before the game starts you have in your head a mapped out minutes rotation for 10 +/- 1 players.

 

[Bolts]

76ers showing that stupid tanking pays off, the 2022 NBA finals between Philly and Phoenix should be great.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Let's go Heat......I ain't giving up on you yet.

I agree with this. Minutes/rotation should be determined by what takes place in that game.

I'm ok with having a good idea of the 9-10 guys you will play but having the minutes/substitution pattern mapped out is silly

 

[bksballer89]

God I hate Ben Simmons

 

[Gman]

Brutal performance in the 2nd half by the Heat... they just don't have any bread and butter on offense.

 

[bksballer89]

Dude is so arrogant and a fake tough guy on the court.

I would put in UD in this game to send his ass a quick message

Johnson and Olynyk have been it on offense.

Not sure why Dragic has been invisible.

The Kings need to start a process.....maybe hire somebody out of the Philly front office?

Maybe they can throw some cash at the assistant office assistant or something?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Going with the Pelicans and the points and the over 217.

Anyone who watches the Heat, knows who is coming in, and when.

Congrats, Philly fans.

My GAWD...

Marco and Illyasova were terrific pickups.

Ben is a grown ass man.

Great 2nd half.

[knowyourenemy]

...14 now.

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

Yeah. Olynyk is really killing them. I remain unworried about him.

 

[Gman]

Johnson and Olynyk have been it on offense.

Not sure why Dragic has been invisible.

Even with the guys you mention showing up... I just don't have the feeling watching them that they have anything reliable that they can hang their hat on when they need a bucket.

Olynyk will shake free for some baskets here and there, sure... but they don't seem to have a "go to" play or player.
