Simmons really plays like a 6’10 prime Rondo.

Referees taking over the 76ers game. Heat don't have the firepower to catch up now.

A good summary of the totality of Olynyk the basketball player.

I despise the Heat with every inch of my being.

I hate Wade and LeBron, this does extend somewhat to the current Heat now that Wade is back there. But I find my rival fan mentality hates what the Sixers have done over the last several years a great deal, so I would really like to them crash and burn in the first round.

Eh, there are plenty historical reasons to hate the Sixers. Being salty over their tanking is the least of my concern. That said I hate the Heat way more as I wasn't alive for the Sixers rivalry.

People whining about tanking is a lot worse than the actual tanking.

I do miss having KO. Such an unusual player.

I know we joke about him and all but, he legit did play well for us in the playoffs fairly consistently. Just can’t use up your cap on guys like him.

He was built in a high tech government lab from all the parts they had leftover after they made Russell Westbrook.

Sixers got all the calls early on, too. Dragic kept getting fouled repeatedly in the first quarter and nothing was called.

Yo I think I went at you pretty hard the other day mistaking you for another poster. My fault, man.

Wade going to get frustrated and hurt somebody.

****. THE. HEAT.

****. THE. RAT.

****. THE. JAW.

Would've loved to play this Miami team. Nothing resembling a star out there and they wouldn't have the coaching advantage against us.

Would have been a boring series though.

When KO is your best player, you probably don't belong in the playoffs

And unlike the people on here who claim to be upset about Lebron beating us on the Cavs when our best player was 5'8, it would ACTUALLY be sweet revenge to knock out this Heat team early in one of Wade's last years, with all of the injuries we have.

It wasn't just Lebron who destroyed our big three's last few years, it was Pat Riley, Dwade and the Heat organization as well.

Well, yeah, but I'll take winning a boring series over losing an exciting series.

If hear Hubie call JJ Redick "Ridick" one more time...

No problem. I was wondering why you were being so snippy.
