Sixers are going to come out and get close to if not actually double their 1st half score in the 3rd quarter.
Well they didn't quite get to doubling, but got to 30 in the 3rd vs. just 39 in the 1st half.  It appears Philly will win now, as they should.  They are a much better team than Miami (at least the version with Embiid).

As I said earlier today, I think Boston plays the Hawks and I'm still sticking with that.  The play-in might as well be called the Hawks invitational.

Embiid looks hobbled and now Butler might be hurt.

Things are looking good for the Celtics at the moment.

Miami should play K-Love down the stretch against Embiid instead of Bam. Embiid cannot defend Love at the three point line. Use Love.

Bam got away with a blatant hold to stop Embiid from contesting that Jaquez drive.

Butler being able to play immediately after hurting his knee (and seeing how he is moving now) reminds me a lot of a partial meniscus tear I had a few years ago playing flag football. Hopefully he is alright, but he won’t really know until he wakes up in the morning

Ohh man. Tobias Harris is having a stinker!

Only 9pts with Embiid hobbled. Not good enough. Tobias Harris is an 18-20ppg caliber scorer. Gotta be better than this.

Good back-and-forth. Batum is carrying the Sixers right now

Bam probably gets away with more of that stuff than anybody in the league.  Draymond might have an argument.  Nobody else is really close.

I mean hell, Horford does it a ton too, but Bam is just on another level with the uncalled violations he tallies up.
