Butler 3/11.....but 6/7 from the line. Pathetic how the refs hold him up.

Honestly I'm watching the game and all of them have been legit. Early on the Sixers literally bumped into him and it was obvious calls.

Embiid has taken 7 and yeah, like 4 of his were clearly flops or late whistles

Why is no one giving the heat credit? Yeah the 76ers do look like hot garbage but the heat also clearly flipped a playoff switch and are playing like they were at points last postseason. I want nothing to do with them.

Because they are playing like trash too. Instead of holding them up on a pedestal, you can take a step back and realize they're shooting 43% from the field and 30% from 3 in that first half.

Whatever you say. There intensity clearly got turned up and there zone defense is causing fits (like it has every time we have faced them in the playoffs)

Yeah, they’re trash though

Sure would be nice if you looked at the C's - the objectively much better team - with these kinds of rose-colored glasses like you how view the Heat.

I would take the Celtics in 6 or 7 games against the Heat, so clearly I do. I’d never count the Heat out though like you do.

Sixers fans are already melting down on Reddit  :laugh:

And honestly they should be.   Their team looks like hot garbage so far.   Embiid looks like he is in no way ready for playoff basketball.   The rest of the sixers seem like they have already given up in this game.   

Maybe the 76ers will wake up before the end???

Gotta get Hield involved. Only 4mins. 2 shots 0-2.

Man, Embiid only played 39 games this year. I did not realize he missed so many.

With Embiid = 31 wins 8 losses (65 win pace)
Without Embiid = 16 wins 27 losses (30-31 win pace)

Is anyone really afraid of either of these two teams?  We might end up with Atlanta after all.

Embiid averaged 34.7ppg in 33.6mpg in those 39 games. Most points than minutes per game. Amazing.

5.6 assists per game along with those all those points.

Both of these teams kinda look like ass.  Not convinced that it's just good defense, either.

I just think with PHI/MIA it'd go 6 or even 7 games, but CHI/ATL definitely only 5. That's all. I don't predict anyone to beat Boston. Only one with a slight chance could be Denver but I mean, we can worry about them later and even then I still pick Boston to win it all.

Miami's offense sucks.

This is why they need Rozier. Then he wrecks their defense. And they don't improve at all. Probably get worse overall. Hurts their D more than he adds to their O.

This could be a good finish. Sixers only down 2 now and with momentum.

Can "Himmy" do something about it
