Imo Sprolestra is a better coach than doc and generally gets the most out of his players (they were awful early in the season and have ramped it up over the last month). That’s a series where Miami has talent to make it a a competitive series and the coaching to make up for lack of talent compared to the Sixers. Butler is averaging 22 ppg, 7 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals. Probably the best year of his career and could definitely see him calling Ben what he called KAT the other day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still of the opinion that as long as Embiid stays healthy throughout the playoffs, they have as good a chance as anyone of winning the whole thing. They could legitimately win it despite Ben. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oladipo is a solid player but he’s not a great player. Now he can’t stay healthy. With impending free agency unless they got him for peanuts it made no sense. Furthermore he’s not what they need. They need a shooter who’s also a scorer. Not an inefficient scorer. Plus he’s no where close to being what he was prior to that injury. i still think markkanen would’ve been a nice pickup for the sixers especially when embiid is out he can give you some better scoring then having to play Mike scott 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a stretch 4 whos still really young. I know he’s super unhappy with the bulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is such a waste of a roster spot. But yeah, Markkanen would have been especially nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d almost bet with the limited cap space they have and him being already on the roster they’ll re-sign him and then use that salary to match contracts in a trade.

I’m sure they prefer the one seed but believe they can beat anyone with the trio they have in place. If the playoffs started a week or two ago I’m guessing he would’ve returned sooner. Since the nba playoffs started later by nearly a month this year they were fine just completely shutting him down and resting him for the extra 3 weeks to make sure he was close as he could he to 100%.

That arrogance could bite them though. The Sixers are a completely different team at home than on the road, especially now that the crowd will be back in force for the playoffs.

However i think they viewed it as they rather be fully healthy and ready to go then going after homecourt. I probably would’ve slowly brought back Hardin a couple weeks ago by building up his minutes and so they get some more chemistry. It’s definitely a risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why i wanted to see how the sixers at full strength besides thybulle would handle a full strength heat team. I don’t remember the last time the sixers had their starting 5 played a good team that was fully healthy. Feels like that utah game before the all star break. Really bad sign for the sixers to get destroyed by a Miami team clicking at the right time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
