The Sixers look awful. I don't see them beating Atlanta or Chicago either if they keep playing this way.

If this is the Philly team we will have to face, then that’s awesome. They have the ball security of a peewee team out there right now. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything like it.

How do teams crumble so badly under the Miami zone and why don’t they play it all game every game if this is always the result?

LOL Tobias Harris just missed like 5 layups in a row, including two of them wide open. Sixers fans booing him hard  :laugh:

No Rozier. Heat are playing bigger without him and will likely be much better defensively with that extra size defensively on the perimeter.

Boy, just turned on the game. Philly looks soft against this Miami team so far from what I've seen.

At this point, it seems lucky for us because they look like trash.

Idk... they have Nick Nurse who is an upgrade over Doc, an improved Maxey and a much better roster/bench than previous years. But yeah so far today they look mediocre, and are absolutely spooked by the zone defense.

A long way to go in this one. Miami controlled the game last time these two played before blowing it in the 4th. Neither one of these teams want the 8th seed, take that as solace.

Well considering this has as much to do with the heat as it does 6ers, I don’t see any chance Atlanta or chicago beats either of these teams and this is exactly why I want nothing to do with the heat. All the people falling into the “Heat are trash” nonsense after last year are delusional.

The way I see it - and I've said prefer I want Miami because I want to send them home - Philly looks underwhelming. Joel is janky (what else is new?), Maxey looks shocked, and the rest of the team can't live up to the hype in front of their home crowd.

Are we supposed to fear this?

They can't win 4 out of 7 against us.

The Heat are 1000% more active and hustling than the Sixers. The steals, rebounds, etc.

Philly looks terrible.  Good lesson on how not to play against the zone.

Is Philly better then they were last year? If anything they are about the same minus a guy that can get hot for 40 in Harden. If we can't trust this C's team at this point then it's pointless to expect anything out of them again. No the C's aren't going to walk through the East but they have no business going 7 against any of the teams IMO.

Miami might be better off without Rozier.
