2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

Embiid looks even more out of shape than usual after they layoff from his injury.

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

So I guess you clearly didn't read my posts earlier

Embiid himself said he’s only 70 percent. That’s not going to cut it if they draw Boston.

Melton and Rozier both out with back injuries. Both expected back for next games.

Their defense has been very impressive though. Same level it was last post-season and prior to the Rozier trade.

Has it? Of their 11 turnovers, I feel like half of them have been unforced. Just dumb passes and lack of awareness. Of course, I'll look that up afterwards, but that's my "eye test."

The Heat are doing a good job defensively with the zone but I also wonder... is Embiid not 100%? Idk he looks very sluggish out there and definitely isn't moving fast. Like in a series against Boston I think the strategy could be to just run up and down the court and in transition.

Beverley > Lowry

ESPN said before the game that Embiid said he was only about 70 percent

The way they are going they may get bounced by Chicago or Atlanta.

Bulls have some talent. Just so inconsistent

I did not realize Embiid is in his 10th year already. That includes the first two he missed with injury. So 8 years playing. Yet to get past the 2nd round. Just turned 30 years old recently.

Time is ticking ...

Already putting the excuse out there. Embiid you are never healthy in April!

The Bulls have some individual scorers but little defense and little teamplay.
