Herro and Jimmy are 7/26 from the field combined btw.

The Issue is Joel and Maxey are 7/22

It's almost like we're better when Tobias isn't in the game.

I don't know, aside from Maxey's turnovers early on, my only complaint has been his lack of aggression. I also feel like he's getting zero calls. Otherwise, he's looked pretty good to me. One of the bright spots actually.

Maxey hasn't been the main issue, it's not easy when you have to be the primary ballhandler. Embiid is constantly floating on offense and moving with low effort to get himself into better position.

J.J obviously bet on the Heat.

The refs bet on the Heat

Oubre and Hield are key.

That tech, especially in a game like this, is unconscionable. Every point matters and they gave a tech for essentially nothing.

It's like when a QB who struggles to read complex blitz schemes in the NFL struggles mightily vs them and fans go "They weren't prepared for the blitz." No, sometimes they are and the QB just sucks at dealing with it. Embiid has never handled aggressive double teams well. Ever. And the Sixers don't have a lot of good shooters or guys who can beat you off the dribble penetrate a zone. It's really that simple. You wanna beat zone defense, construct a roster that's good at doing it.

You live and die in the playoffs with your stars and the Sixers star every single playoff series is easily taken out of games with aggressive double teams and forcing him to process information fast and rely on subpar role players to win. Get better players, get better results.

They have a bunch of guys with good career 3pt shooting averages. They have to make shots. You might want to look at Nic Batums, Tyrese Maxey, Buddy Hield's, Tobias Harris, and Kyle Lowry's career 3pt shooting averages. They have guys that can hit threes.

Oof Embiid, get him out. If he's moving like late stage Larry Bird, he's not worth having out there.

Embiid lol

2 point game and we got ball and he throws up that bs. Then we get the offensive board and he loses it trying to euro…he will never get it
