Jimmy might play, he is GTD and has not been ruled out.
Embiid is also GTD with ankle sprain, but likely to play

Dont even want Jimmy to play. Rather see others carry the load.

Its wild to think how Philly deconstructed their roster entirely for young talent and picks and now they have less young talent on their team than Miami who refuses to tank and has been to the ECF 3 out of the last 4 years.

Imagine if we didn't pass on Maxy and would've taken him over Precious.

Just imagine DOM

The process hahaha...Ya Riley doing the "retool" not rebuild does make for consistently good rosters. Honestly Wade played a huge part in getting Butler here though from the sound of it, it was like his parting gift and guy to pass the torch too. Since then not really any notable moves other than Lowry and Oladipo trades obviously both not ideal.

I swear, the only good move they made was Joel during The Process. Everything else turned to poop.

P**** boy shaking in his boots at the thought of Bam ruining his Christmas. Good business decision as he’s been dominating these others scrub centers. Don’t want to put his 30 point streak in jeopardy.

It's honestly been looking like a thing where he avoids Jokic matchups and now Bam maybe as well. Empeed just a taller Harden hahaha

His production really drops in the playoffs. Forgets how to shoot from distance and ppg drops by a lot. With his size and skill level he should be averaging 50 a game when it matters.

He’s a p**** scared of the smoke, almost as scared as you Bam detractors watching the leaps he makes year after year and realizing how stupid your takes have been all this time.

Take a seat, right next to Embiid. “No one could play after this” gtfoh :lol: he only managed to put up 31-11-9-2-4 after that.



The only footage that matters.

He's not afraid of Bam. Dude just dropped 50 on the NBA best defense. He is just hurt.
Embiid deserves a lot of credit for his season. He's the clear MVP favorite and its not close. I thought Philly would fall off after Harden but they've been really good and have beaten good teams too.
Embiid only problem is his playoff record. If he wins another MVP he'll have to win a chip or it's a major blight on his career.

Return to Miami Heat
