Seriously - we had such a great day yesterday - today we get kicked square in the balls.  

Life comes at you fast 

Siakam really is the guy from Captain Phillips. 

There is plenty of room for optimism. 

They don't think he needs surgery for this one.  And will recheck him in 5 days.  He had to miss a minimum of 5 days for the concussion. 

I suspect the plan is to clear him at that point. 

He posted a pic in his mask and said 6ers in 6. I bet he's planning to be back after maybe 2 games.

Two games is all they can afford. Chances are they probably lose the first two in Miami anyway. But if he isn’t back until game 4, unless a miracle happens and we win game 3 at home without him, we are f’ed. 

I couldn’t sleep last night. This sucks.

We beat them once without embiid or harden. It's possible they steal one while he's out.  

Likely not though. 

I guess his plan is to miss/lose 2 and then dominate and sweep the next 4.

Please stop.  He, and the Sixers, are done.

It’s not on any of his social media.  Probably because he took it down cause he won’t be back

The report about him not needing surgery is from ramona shelborne. So, its legit. 

I dont think theyre winning the series. But I also think theres a strong chance he doesnt miss the whole series. 

Riding a broken Embiid in the playoffs is turning into groundhog day.  Next time they do the process, build around perimeter shooters.

I bet he misses game 1 because of the concussion but will try to play thru it

James Harden's Coach Used To Bribe Harden With Food If He Could Get To The Free Throw Line At Least 6 Times Per Game

totally...a bunch of shooters without faces so they can't get elbowed there. 

I thought the Raptor fans cheering Embiid's injury looked pretty bad, then someone posted them cheering Durant's torn Achille's even though Lowry is trying to get them to stop. I really don't want to hear about how Philly fans are the "worst" anymore.

Glenn should prove that he truly earned that doctorate degree at the university of phoenix and get in the OR and fix Embiids face.

I took the Sixers at +2.5 in the series spread. 

 

I feel Bam gives Embiid trouble just because he is so athletic. I think this was always going to be a series they needed Harden to try and carry the load. With Embiid missing extended time it will at least give the FO a good look at if he is going to be a contributor over the next couple of seasons or a bad contract 

 

F Drummond, Reed and Millsap.....throw a total wrench into Miami's plans in game 1 and bring out Bassey.  I believe that guy should have been playing the whole freaking time.

Bam gives Embiid trouble? That’s news to me:

Looks to me like Jojo has dominated that matchup pretty much every time. 

Get Bam in foul trouble early to make everyone’s job easier. Drive the basket easy and often.

I may have been wrong on the Bam part, just looking at his last 6 games with Bam in the side

26 minutes - 23 points - 8-15 FG's - 2 TO's - Really good

35 minutes - 22 points - 8-19 FG's - 1 TO - Average 

36 minutes - 35 points - 11-16 FG's - 3 TO's - Really good

33 minutes - 29 points - 9-14 FG's - 3 TO's - Really good

36 minutes - 35 points - 11-16 FG's - 3 TO's - Really good

25 minutes - 6 points - 3-9 FG's - 4 TO's - Really bad

36 minutes - 22 points - 4-15 FG's - 4 TO's - Below average (although the points are good)

 

However his last 6 games vs the Heat in general (I must have thought Bam played in all of them and was wrong)

39 minutes - 45 points - 16-23 FG's - 4 TO's - Insane

24 minutes - 9 points - 3-8 FG's - 3 TO's - Really bad

25 minutes - 6 points - 3-9 FG's - 4 TO's - Really bad

37 minutes - 17 points - 5-13 FG's - 1 TO's - Below average

36 minutes - 32 points - 12-22 FG's - 2 TO's - Really good

36 minutes - 22 points - 4-15 FG's - 4 TO's - Below average (although the points are good)

 

He is at about a 33% strike rate between excellent games, below average games and horrendous output. It is still a bad matchup for him
