I am confident we will take this game with Embiid back. They have no answer for our Superstar, hopefully the mask will not be a problem again. Let’s go Sixers!!

Win or lose man, our guys are showing some **** toughness. I love it. We are going to be so much better for this. The Heat were a great team to play for our first playoff series because they are a well coached team that's gonna bring it. I just feel like we're growing so fast right now.

And we could get this for a decade!!

JA needs more minutes if J.J is gonna continue to split the bed. I want double digit minutes. He's a lion and he doesn't give a split.

Whichever one of our shooters is playing crappy JA should get some of his minutes for that day.

I do wonder what adjustments they can make to that mask, first time he played in it and he was obviously uncomfortable.

I don't really know how they could improve it though in 2 days.

I totally agree, if they are cold, then play D with JA since he's already shown he ain't scared.

I got a feeling he will be getting alot of JJ's mins.....just sayin.

Yeah, feels like Biid cant get a good sight of the rebounds because of the mask.

I don't care if he wears it to the Finals as a precaution. The things they said that could happen to him are scary, I would rather them fix it then him take it off too early.

Make him wear it too long, just so long as he's playing he changes the game on the defensive end.

Hopefully JJ and Roco show up this game.

Roco needs to do a better job on Dragic if he’s going to struggle on D.

We need to adjust our D on Dragic, just as how we did on Wade in G3.

Heat should be weaker as series progress. Dragic and Wade dont have much in their tank.

JA should get more PT once things get physical.

We either win Saturday, lose game 5, win series at their house; or lose Saturday, win game 5, win the series at their house.

I lied. This will be Ben and Embiid first time playing a game 7. Will teach us a lot about our two young phenoms.

JJ and Roco both showed up in this game too.

JJ gets a lot of attention and creates a lot of space out there. Even if he isn’t hitting shots, he is helping the team.

I need JJ to knock down his shot to give us a good start and comfortable margin for the 2nd unit.

I need Roco to not make Dragic look like he’s Steve Nash.

They didn’t have good games per SE, but they weren’t bad. They still contributed.

Fultz on the other hand didn’t.

Winslow and Anderson have a bit of a history. In college, Winslow grabbed Justin’s leg as he was running, in a deliberate attempt to injure. JA stood above him and looked poised to swing, but composed himself and helped Winslow up. While a magnanimous gesture by Anderson, Winslow deserved a beatdown. It’s not surprising that Winslow is still playing like a dirty POS, and he fits in well in Miami with Wade and co.

Fultz role is not to carry the team but to buy time for Ben, so im ok with that FOR NOW. But certainly, i want more from him
