Play in Game for the 7th seed: Heat vs Sixers...

[Andrew Toney]

Me: 8 game win streak to end season, Joel back….looking good, gonna be hard to stop us

Sixers: Hold my beer

I'm sure Nurse prepared them for a zone, they just don't have the guys to beat it.

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.

I bet we will start questioning the coach, it's what we always do to lie to ourselves and avoid admitting our core was never good enough, especially in terms of character and leadership. But of course, changing a coach is easy, that's why it's easier for people to think it's all about coaching and blame tactical adjustments.

Agreed. It feels like fast shooters can get decent looks whenever they want against that zone, but Miami just isn’t worried about oubre, Harris, Batum, etc beating them on threes. Maybe time to go more Hield and tell him to have a fast trigger.

[Negrodamus]

I'm sure Paul George will be the elixir to this anemic offense. Maybe we'll have a non-washed offensive creator on this team for the first time since... Jimmy? Jrue?

[phillynative]

The second half is show and prove time for everyone on the sixers

Should be interesting

Hield has been hesitating like he’s Tobias out there.

Not a real shooter.

[Mik317]

yeah they are done.

they should tank the next game

I don't want to watch this team anymore lol

You had to put that bad juju in the air with your damn thread lol...couldn't wait till after we lost.

I kept it in last year and then last year happened.

thought getting out into the open would help lol

[NYSixersFan]

It's fair to criticize Embiid, but it's very hard for a Center to dominate with no help. You need shot creators and ball handlers.

For everyone begging this team to play with more pace....Do you see who we have out there?

Ish Smith ain't walking through that door

[Negrodamus]

Good start, Tobias.

[Murray_17]

That foul is clearly before the shot

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

C'mon Tony Brothers...LFG you burnout.

[phillynative]

J.J ,Doris and Reggie are the biggest wood eaters of game commentators

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

Tobias Harris is the gift that keeps on giving!

[Murray_17]

I'm so done with Tobias...

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

Miami's not even that good. We just suck.

[Murray_17]

The Heat offense is horrible, the fact we're losing this **** is just sad.

[brannigan73]

We lose this game the big guy is going to crushed in the media and rightly so.

[Murray_17]

Why is JJ praising Herro? he's the only reason this isn't a blowout

[Negrodamus]

If you asked me where Tobias's "spot" is on the court, I couldn't even begin to guess. It's certainly not around the rim, my god.
