2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

This game might end with like a 90-88 finish lol

[Who]

I hate all this tipping the ball.

Go up and grab it with two hands. Then go back up strong. You'll probably draw a foul. You hardly ever draw a foul on a tip. And you don't have good control on the tip-shot. Two hands!

Whatever they are paying Tobias Harris, it needs to go to Batum instead. He's been awesome today

[jpotter33]

Yeah, watching Embiid they may be the easier matchup at this point. He's clearly laboring out there. Miami's offense is very suspect, but you just never know with the shooting variance (ala last year) and their excellent, scrappy defense.

[Who]

K-Love is a tough cover for Embiid. Embiid not moving well enough to defend out at the three point line.

[Phantom255x]

I didn't realize Embiid was this slow/hobbled already. If I knew that before the game I might have rooted for Miami from the start 

[Who]

Philly are a -8 with Embiid on the floor.

So +3 without Embiid.

Might be time to go with Reed here. Let him defend K Love at the three point line. Only bring Embiid back when Bam comes back in.

[Who]

Butler now 4-16 FGA.

His only field goal in the 2nd half was from those two 3 point attempts, missing the first and making the second, when Embiid was switched onto and refused to go out to the three point line to contest leaving Jimmy wide open.

[Who]

this “look” in the playoffs has been a stain on this organization since the Toronto loss. it is the uncertainty, indecisiveness, afraid to make mistake. no leadership

[SCeltic34]

The Heats inability to execute in the half court is on full display.  Herro is a dangerous offensive player but he's just off today.

[Who]

Good D by Hield on Herro. Herro thought he had the mismatch. Couldn't beat Hield. Had to give it up.

Yeah, I came into the game rooting for the Sixers, but not I want the Heat to win. KP and Horford will just have wide open 3s all game…like wide wide open.

But if we do get the Heat, that whole zone thing won’t work against us this time. Not only did we finally figure it out last playoffs (before Tatum getting injured), but we now have KP to totally blow it up

The Heats inability to execute in the half court is on full display.  Herro is a dangerous offensive player but he's just off today.

I hadn't realized he had missed so many shots. He is 4-19 from the field. So Jimmy is 4-16 and Herro is 4-19. Together they are 8-35. Less than 25%.

They have taken almost half of MIA's shots. 35 shots for those two vs 37 for the rest of the team. The rest of the team is 19-37 FGA. Those two are killing MIA.

Maxey looks so passive and indecisive. Much different from the beginning of the season when the sports media went crazy for him.

[Who]

I don't see it with Highsmith.
