What way? We’re playing great lately except for the last game. If we lose this series, it’s been a great roller coaster ride to a great season so far. We found out this team can win without Embiid but not for long.

We have a legit great shot at the ECF and hinestly a decent shot at nba finals... these chances like this dont come along often, u never know what could happen in future years.. this team needs to stop this cautious BS and try to win this year. Put the damn mask on amd lets fking go

There are many things wrong with sports today, but I don't think excessive caution about concussions is one of them.

I'd really like to see Anderson get some run tonight. He can contribute in this series.

If Embiid doesnt play, Id like to see BB go back to Amir starting and Ersan off the bench. We won 16 games in a row with that rotation. Stick with it. I get we took off in the 2nd half of game 1 with Ersan starting the 2nd half, but it just messes up the rotation starting the game with him. We were clicking on all cylinders, playing the way we were. Ersan off the bench just makes our bench that much more dynamic and provides more spacing for Markelle when hes playing with both Ersan and Marco.

I don't know, I have a feeling Biid plays. I think we still win the series without him.

Am I dumb, guys?

We are the more talented team. We have more cards to throw and counter.

Im chalking up Game 2 as simply the night we finally got cold and lost one. Weve been hotter than a dancing bobcat shooting the ball for over a month now, and it was bound to happen at some point that we went cold from 3. Add in Dwyane Wade going circa 2008 and it resulted in a loss. I dont expect the entire team to go that cold again or Dwyane Wade to go off like he did again.

This game tonight means a lot though in my mind. Whether Embiid plays or not, we need to get this one. If the Heat find a way to beat us without DWade going off, and with our shooters having a decent game, I will be FAR more worried. We cant expect Embiid to just come back and win the series for us.

Will Bam Adebayo be suspended one game for stepping onto the court during the Anderson/Wade scuffle??

NBA rules say he should be.

Who's better defensive wing trio between..

Morris, Tatum and Brown vs James Johnson, Richardson and Winslow?

Was such a petty play by Wade, completely non-basketball related move by pulling Anderson's arm with force. Love that we didn't get caught up in their dirty plays and kept our heads cool.



Really surprises me that the national media doesn't condemn Winslow for stepping on Embiid's goggles on purpose and trying to break it with his hands afterwards. You shouldn't be able to break someone's medical equiptment without a punishment. What if Embiid didn't have a reserve for example, you basically eliminate someone from the game or increase the risk of someone permanently damage his vision.

Winslow has a history of dirty plays btw.

He didn't hit him at all. One of the more bizarre plays I've ever seen.
