How does Ben Simmons get such an open lane to the basket in that situation? Heat have to be better prepared than that.

Terrible defense by the Heat

Simmons is a little bit good isn’t he?

Young team in Miami coming off a big win + an early start on Saturday typically spells trouble.

Half right— Philly was definitely hung over. Too bad Miami was straight ass on their FTs.

This is why I dont do sports betting :lol:

I hate our injuries. Two teams with the most annoying/obnoxious fanbases might just reach the ECF. I think the Sixers would be favored against us if we get past the Bucks. They're like Milwaukee but with more shooting, versatility, and reliable veterans.

Very Big win on the road for a young team when they didn’t even play that well, but they gutted it out. I find the Sixers love in cringe, but props for sure.

Sixers would beat us rather easily.

Rondo's so fun to watch. Those passes to AD and Holiday were insane.

So much hate against the sixers here, the salt is real. Guys here are seriously afraid. Embiid and Simmons with pretty average games, including 15 TOs. Btw, they are playing a much better team.....

Miami is really bad. No offense at all. Whiteside is so dumb on defense.

Refs and the NBA love the 76ers. I can't wait for a C's-76ers series. With Smart back, I'm sure we can give them troubles.

Pelicans crowd kinds of sucks for a team that’s about to sweep a series.

The coaching advantage alone makes them much more dangerous but sure, after the deposition of Hinkie the NBA miraciously loves them :lol:

Not so sure about that. Miami has close to zero firepower even with Spo pulling off miracles. I think that would have been an easier series for us.

No question, Brad would be licking his chops with the ability to help off Winslow every play for threes.

Rondo 5-9-5 at the half

Did u see what he just did to provoke this 7 footer Collins? LOLOL.
First he slaps ball away, then he puts his nose in his chest, then they both get Ts, then he tells Mirotic to move so he can stand next to Collins during FTs and further provoke him.

is there an automatic ejection if bench players enter the court during an altercation?

I'd much rather watch us lose to the Bucks now and watch a Bucks vs Sixers series, than watch us lose to the Sixers...

Ideally I'd like us to beat both but I don't think we can overcome this injury bug.

Almost looking like that Cousins injury was a blessing in disguise for Pelicans. Imagine if the Pelicans had traded Cousins for someone good that fit better. Davis is killing it like he did in his last playoff series years ago vs Warriors but now his supporting cast a bit better and Portland doesn't appear to be built for playoff basketball. Davis isn't 2008 KG on defense but he is more gifted than KG on offense.
