We should help the 76ers out with their tanking for Wiggins campaign.

Paolo just for future reference. When starting game threads under the prefix tab choose game thread

 

[Paolo305613]

Bks, I will do that from here on out .

 

[Paolo305613]

And I agree , we need to help the sixers on their journey to draft Wiggins or whoever becomes worthy of being drafted first

No Wade tonight..Being held out to rest knee. Spo said this will not be the last time he gets the 2nd night of B2B off. I sort of expected this and will expect this throughout the first month of the season

And so the nonsense begins - It is only game 2 of the regular season and it is already happening. Spo claims this decision was made today but it is total BS I am sure they have a plan already in place as to when to sit down the 3 divas. The bench and our role players will have to show up again.

He had knee procedures on his knee in the offseason and never played in back to back preseason games.

If Wade can only play in 60-65 games in the regular season and be healthy for the playoffs I am absolutely fine with that instead of him playing 78 games or so and not being anywhere close to healthy in the playoffs.

 

[bksballer89]

I would have more of an issue if this was Lebron or Bosh who are completely healthy. We know Wade knees are a problem

OK OK I will give him his free pass on this one. I still dont buy into the idea that this was a decision that was made today. I will stick by the idea that they have planned days off before the season even started.

 

[Paolo305613]

Roger Mason Jr will start in place of Wade - DWade and Oden in active tonight.

 

[Paolo305613]

Slow start and Coach Fiorentino making the excuses for the Heat

 

[HammerDown]

Damn and many were predicting the Sixers would only win 15 games this season. Coming out strong here.

 

[Paolo305613]

Sixers not settling for shots - Heat are because that is Heat basketball in the Big 3 era

Worst vs best hmmm

We got this. The Sixers lost this game when they allowed Miami to make it a game before halftime.
