So glad the C’s never traded for or signed Whiteside.

Didn't many prominent media people say the 76ers are the favorites the win the east now?

Do you have any links to those stories?  I haven't heard anyone really say anyone but Clev and Toronto. 

Seeing that Clev is down 2-1 and another road game that could push them to 3-1.  Toronto looked mortal again on the road at Washington.  Philly is currently down to Miami.  If they lose and go to 2-2 with the heat, I don't know how anyone could really say there is a big fav at this point.

Well there's your problem lol

By the way, does anyone else despise that Lebron D-riding Nick Wright from Fox Sports as much as I do? Dude is unbearable with his infatuation with Lebron, and he's still riding the Cavs despite how terrible they've been.  ::)

That guy has also jumped on the 76ers ban wagon. And I just laugh at these baffons. And i love when their narratives are incorrect.

Is he any worse than Windhorst who writes a Lebron story for the front page of espn.com every freaking day?

The Heat are kind of like us without Kyrie and Hayward, at times they have a really tough time generating points in the 1/2 court.

With a much less consistent D. This Heat D has been incredibly inconsistent and has criminally underperformed this series.

Ilyasova is making a big contribution for Philly.  Seems like he is in the right place / right time a lot.

Yep. He has been the x factor this half.

The Heat are a team that should blow it up.

It's a major market that can draw free agents in perpetuity, their fans aren't that engaged to begin with .... just blow it up and start over. 

That roster is a lot of $$ and not a single player who is significantly above average.


Of course, some of those contracts will be hard to jettison....

Actually, no, this Heat team looks just like last year's Celtics giving up all of these dang offensive rebounds.

Good Lord, just possession after possession of terrible defensive basketball (and several bad offensive possessions, too) by both sides.

lol, wade gets 5 straight points to get them within 1, and then they give a wide open lane big enough to drive a tank through for Simmons to just go in for an absolutely easy jam.
