Embiid is already exhausted, can't even make an effort to close out towards the perimeter.

Good on the refs for not falling for both teams' flops tonight. They've not fallen for several of Butler flails already this quarter. Love to see it.

With MIA's offense doing so badly, why not play Duncan Robinson? He is a top shooter who can spread out the court.

If the C's struggle with either team that's a bad sign.

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

Being fair to the Heat is against my religion.
Still don't believe in Joe.

Believe it or not, they miss Harden. Their offense would benefit from a better playmaker who is able to get others involved, as well as get the ball to Embiid where he needs it.

God, Butler looks awful right now just flailing for fouls. Super impressed that the refs aren't falling for it.

Can you imagine if Embiid and Butler were on the same team?  ;D

Great job by Jimmy to attack quickly once he saw Maxey was the only guy near him in transition. Forced the switch. Attacked before the double. Got to the rim.

Missed the layup.

Jimmy has wasted four consecutive offensive possessions flailing for calls he doesn't deserve.  Lowry hasn't been much better when he's in the game. Credit to the refs for not falling for this garbage in this quarter.

Yep. Even last year, I know Harden didn't really show up in some games but there were two games where he took it over himself and made some clutch plays to give PHI the wins in Game 1 and 4. Unless Maxey becomes that guy suddenly, they don't have it. Embiid puts up monster stats against the C's often and it usually doesn't matter.

There is no way Boston should mess with either of these teams

Heat really struggles in the half court.

The Sixers really don't have anyone to cover the Jays. Who are their guys? Harris and Oubre? Lol. Our guards should also be able to overwhelm Lowry and the non-Maxey guys.

This is better from Hield. 5mins 7pts here in Q3.
