Highsmith plays good defense but 52.0 TS% on open shots is not what we need in the playoffs.

Crazy that I’m about to say this, but glad to see Duncan in. Maybe he can get on a hot streak going into the playoffs

Hes going to solidify his MVP status that he finally earned 78 games in to the season. Prior to Embiids last game, it was easily a Jokic landslide win.


We’ll if the trend holds true this game just knocked Embiid from the runaway favorite to 3rd place now

That’s not his TS% on just open shots

Herros game tonight shows the importance of knocking down his open 3s on the catch and getting the the free throw line. 7-17 from the field isn’t good and he was only 2-9 from 2. Elite shooting night from the 3 and free throw line overall gave him an efficient night. I’ll take 24 points on 17 shots from a guard any night

If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Nice to know we match up well with this team however that makes getting the 6th seed that much more important assuming Philly holds position in the standings
We see you Palestine and we love you

Bring in SVG as an assistant, his tv job is probably more enticing anyways

After a second thought, you could theoretically bring back both Van Gundy as assistants.

All guys we acquired were just in the Finals and two from Dallas in the WCF with Luka...

What world of difference exactly?

You guys do not have Playoff Jimmy, or Coach Spo with when it comes to planning a 7 game series. That's the biggest difference that turns the tide in a 7 game series. Doc Rivers or any coach for that matter would never come out and tell the media whom they would prefer to play against, but deep down their is a preference. Regardless of what you think of the personal in each team, it sometimes comes down to matchup, Miami style of play force's Philly to play away from their strength and Doc Rivers would hate to have to play against that type of style.

Herro took a step back tonight. He had his shot going then he was completely careless for several possessions, sloppy with his handles and decision making when he thought it was his time to take over he got too excited and lacked focus. This is why Spo needs to allow guys to get their streaks going in the season with their 50 point games etc so they have experience navigating those big moments. Usually somone gets hot we likely dont see them take too many shots the rest of the game.

That Highsmith drive and dunk shocked me, good for him. Also the trash minutes dunk from Cain was also nice to see the quickness he got to the rim. Lowry and most of the passing was crisp and deliberate. Even in a blowout this game was entertaining.
1. Herro 2. Bol Bol 3. Seko 4. Bruno
unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington

You really think brooklyn is ready to bang with you all like Miami can? There’s a higher chance we push you all to Game 6 and 7 than Brooklyn can. And there’s a chance Embiid leaves that series injured, as he usually is in the playoffs.. We play football at the miami Heat arena during the playoffs

The guy you're talking to is a Nets fan not a 6ers fan so I'm sure he thinks they are better equipped to face the 6ers then us lol.
