I think Miami is a toss up. I lean towards Miami cause embiid isn’t fully healthy and spolestra imo is a better coach than doc. 

Yes, but I have an irrational dislike for Herro. Therefore, the Sixers will win. 

Quite a Philly sports night with the crown jewel being the Sixers win. Seems like they at have a shot at getting by Miami. 

Kind of loved Joel embracing the villain role with the Toronto fans. He was feeding off their heckling.

BANG BANG GEORGE NIANG! Kate Scott is done calling our games. So at least there is that to look forward to!

On a side note, Ben was practicing his shooting. Some video game nerd took a screen shot of Ben playing call of duty for 24 hours in a row during game 4. Wouldn’t that be difficult with a sore back. 

Doc needs to spend an entire practice working on boxing out and rebounding.

I mean they were out rebounded in the 1st half but ended up winning 47-37 on the boards.
Frankly a big part of the reason Toronto had so many rebounds in the first half was the offensive rebounds. They had a big edge there, but had also missed almost twice as many shots as the Sixers so that’s a lot more offensive rebounding opportunities.  

Really think looking back CJ Mccollum and Larry Nance would have been a better deal and not a massive CJ fan.

I hope I didn't revive him in zombies outbreak.

playing zone defense makes it more difficult to box out...especially if you're not used to playing a zone. i think they'll be back to man-to-man against the heat since miami doesn't really have the type of athletes that will go right around defenders like toronto does. 

heat are deeper but i think the sixers can make a series out of this matchup. heat have some guys the sixers can hunt on defense (herro, robinson)...remember maxey & shake destroying them the last time we played miami? long, athletic guys give the sixers trouble...but the heat don't have many guys like that.  i expect miami's experience & depth to eventually shine through but there's no reason the sixers can't take this series to 6 or 7 games.

Mattisse won’t be useless this series. If there was ever a time to make up for his first round issues, this would be it. Play elite defense, grab some boards, score in transition and slash to the rim when harden is at the top of the key.  But please, please Ben Simmons 3 pointers 😂

If Oladipo comes off the bench and has a few games where he goes off like last game that will be a huge advantage.

Embiid needs to be d-head Embiid, not ouchy Embiid, if they want to win the series

Let’s hope there are "F Embiid” chants in Miami. That should do the trick.

It's ok, I used to do everything drunk, it's why I haven't had a drink in 18 years.   Say it with me, my name is DaEagles4Life and I'm an alcoholic.
