Middleton would be the obvious answer I was talking about. Middleton is clutch down the stretch. Unfortunately Giannis can't keep carrying the entire offense. 

I don't even think this is a series of Middleton is healthy with the way Giannis has played

That’s how i feel. Frankly i am not sure any team in the east and maybe even the west could beat the bucks if Giannis plays like this and during last years finals with middleton healthy. 

How we feeling about tonight? This game will determine the series IMO. If Sixers win, I see them closing it out at home in game 6.  If the Heat win, I think the Sixers push it to game 7 but Miami wins it at home. 

I still have low expectations - much easier to take the inevitable heart-breaking loss that way

role players like green, niang, etc. tend to play better at home...so i don't expect much from them tonight. 

Whoever wins this game wins the series. Huge game.  Need Harden to replicate game 4

I agree, that’s why I think Maxey is the key. He needs to be aggressive right from the start. If he can score in the mid-20s, along with Embiid just making his presence felt on defense and getting to the line a bit, they can win. 

Looking like a loss. I understand Lowry isn’t going to play, which is a big positive for the Heat. Georges and Danny will come crashing back to earth. I’d be surprised if they make 6 shots between the two of them.

This.

weird edit with some bad music...

 

but how badly did horford sandbag it while he was in philly?     now dude goes for 30 & goes toe to toe with giannis in the 4th quarter. 

I don't see how they dont win tonight. Joel hasn't had a great game back yet and is due for a dominate performance.

Yeah, he was a little better in game 4 than he was in game 3. I’d expect he will just keep getting better the more his conditioning recovers and the more he gets used to the mask.

James Harden wants either Doc Rivers gone this offseason or he’s gone, per Legion Hoops.

 

The 76ers want James Harden to take a major pay cut for in order for him to stay on the team, per 76ers intel.

 

After a frustrating 31-47 season, LeBron James could possibly seek a trade this summer.

 

According to LeBron, Philly was his first choice before joining LA because he wanted to play with Embiid, but his agent, Rich Paul, declined the meeting with the 76ers.

 

This blockbuster trade sends James Harden to LA, in exchange for LeBron James.

 

 

They go on to propose LeBron to Philly for Harden, Thybulle, and a 1st.

Bunch of crap all that is.

Im not sure that part is true either though. I know LeBron never met here, but I think I recall his agent meeting here. 

At best its partial truth.

I doubt this team has the balls to move Harden.

But, Ive been feeling there is a chance LeBron leaves LA this summer to go try to contend somewhere. The team he built there isnt getting it done.

Tbh i think the winner tonight wins this series. If the sixers win then i see them closing it out at home in game 6. If the heat win I’m not sure the sixers win a game 7 on the road. Even if it’s Miami on the road. That said we haven’t won a game 5 of a conference semi-final since 2001 so we are definitely due.

Jeannie buss said there is no chance in hell they move lebron. They said even if he doesn't extend they are keeping him his last year. Dude is just buying time to play with his kid. That's all he cares about right now. 

I say Sixers close it out Thursday night.  

Man I love the optimism I just don't see it  I hope I'm wrong

I don't doubt that's how she feels but seems players have all the power.  If he wants out, he will be out.

He can get himself on his sons team whenever,  if ever he gets in to the league.  That's not happening all that soon is it?
