So sucks to see anyone get hurt but Jimmy definitely moved that pivot foot and traveled making sure he got the foul call right? He’s so annoying lol

Heat zone's already forced 10 turnovers. 8 minutes to go in the 1st half.

So lemme get this straight. The unstoppable Joel Embiid and the mastermind who is Nick Nurse can’t figure out a zone, but Porzingis is a zone breaker?

We should beat the sixers or heat in 5 if we are the team I think we are. If not, well, we beat them in 6.

Easier to load up on Embiid. Porzingis has better teammates around him.

Miami, if they win tonight, might have easiest path to ECF playing NYK and then likely the Pacers in round 2.

He also had a pretty disrespectful comment to Frank Reich, HC of the Colts at the time, along the lines of “looks to me like you guys have no idea what you’re doing at your jobs”

Heat defense makes you have to think the game. It's not just about skill/talent when you're playing them. They got destroyed by the Nuggets 'cos Denver has one of the smartest offensive players ever. Same case when they played Lebron/Lakers. Low IQ teams are vulnerable.

Philly sub-40 for the half lmao. Nick Nurse couldn't figure out how to get Embiid the ball because the Heat made the genius and apparently unsolvable move of fronting him.

Hey we won a championship by doing this to a better player than Embid, when Tommy did it.

Sixers fans probably thrilled they're finally getting rid of Tobias Harris this summer.
