Heat don’t know how to guard the perimeter

They were supposed to steal this game before embiid comes back

Ben Simmons going to pull out a win with a triple double in his playoff debut.

Heat have no answers defensively. Olynyk can't rebound consistently. Whiteside is too slow to guard the perimeter and Wade is too slow to chase the likes Belinelli and Reddick off the screen.

Terrible effort and execution by Miami in the second half, but they’ve let the 76ers dictate the pace all night long. 76ers are playing much faster right now without Embiid, and combined with them hitting everything they’ve thrown up from three point land, that’s not a good combination.

Spo is a good enough coach that I expect some adjustments and a better showing next game. I think the Heat can still win this series, as the Philly young’uns still have yet to experience the playoff atmosphere outside of the comfort of Wells Fargo Center.

Would be interesting to see a Boston/Philly second round, though, as we matchup much better with Philly defensively and can really challenge their shooting.

76ers get their first playoff win since Game 6 of the 2012 of the East Semis.

But Eric Spoelstra should be able to adjust. He's been in championship games in the past, at least with the right personnel.

Paul Pierce wasn't there to bail out the Wizards today, hence why the Raptors won  ;D

And that game is why I REALLY wanted to face the Heat in the 1st round.  We could have swept them and gotten some rest going into the 2nd round.

Rondo is so fun to watch when he is fully engaged.

Rondo's court vision is really a thing of beauty.

EDIT: That lob to Anthony Davis... Sheesh.
