I don't think you can riot alone. You need a minimally sized group of people who share the same opinion and temperament, and if possible- carry torches and sharpened farm implements.

If you riot alone it's called something else, a rant maybe, or an enthusiastic monologue.

Embiid's not close to right. Gimme Philly (or Chicago/Atlanta).

Rather face Heat and get it out of the way. Don't need the Heat role players start building there confidence on the weak minded Knicks and Milwakee/Pacers

I honestly don't care who we face. It would be good though if these two teams beat each other into submission and then tomorrow's game is a slugfest too...

Chicken is the greatest food known to mankind. Even without whatever's going on in the basketball world, this is a simple fact of life.

Kevin Love at center in 2024. What a time to be alive.

For all of Jimmy's macho man talk, it's amazing how ineffective he is when the refs don't give him tons of foul baiting and flopping calls. Keep it up refs.

Nurse's adjustment... put shooters on the floor and hope they make threes.

Heat POA defense and Embiid's uselessness leave Nurse with pretty much no other options so... bombs away?

If the Heat weren't so tragically bad at running the fastbreak this would be a 20 point lead for them.

About to find out who we play Sun @ 1 PM. Chicago or ATL won’t beat either of these teams. Who you got?

Love how refs are allowing all the contact on the drives.

Probably won't love it as much when JT can't get any calls lol.
