He is the only real offensive player in this team.

Im with you— my hot take is that he’s Tyreke Evans 2.0.

Spoiler:

I would like to see ESPN write a piece about the 6ers.

Seems like they arent getting enough media run lately.

Its admittedly scorching hot, haha, but he just reminds me of rookie Evans.

Rookie Evans put up 20-6-5 on similar efficiency relative to league average. Everyone hailed him as the next big thing, but then he never grew any further. Luckily for Mitchell, he’s on a good team with a great system— he should be able to develop much better than if he were in a crap organization like Sacramento.

I would have loved the C's to re-sign Gerald last summer.

Right now he'd be huge because of the injuries but we honestly didnt have much of a need for him before the injuries. Brown and Tatum got all the minutes at the wing to help their development

Illyasova’s face is very punchable. I don’t know why, but it is what it is.

Simmons and Embiid are so fun to watch

Lol at KO locking up Embiid

Heat are taking some brutal early shot clock bricks. Grateful that the C's have been valuing every possession in the post season.

This is a hell of a game.

Fun game. Started the night looking forward for the NO Portland game (will not watch any GS games as I do not respect them), but cannot tear myself apart from this miami phili game.
Thought it was a nice touch on Winslow ' s part when he stomped on Embid ' s face mask.

I thought when Kyrie had to wear the mask, he couldn't go black. Am I remembering that wrong? Or does Embiid's have just enough clear in it to circumvent that?

Miami needs their money back from Hassan
