Injuries are the worst, yes even when it's the Heat. Hopefully he just got scared and it's not a season ender.
edit: yup, he's fine.

Not for me. I'm over here rooting for the roof to fall onto the court.Injuries are the worst, yes even when it's the Heat.
How long until he sacrifices his acumen for emphaticBlah. It took Doris about 3 years.I had no idea JJ Redick was even among the broadcasting crew. They should try to give him more lines.
Seems like a 1990s game so far.This game is going to struggle to get into the 90s.
They combined for 36 pts in the final 7 min of 1Q. Brutal shooting start thoughThis game is going to struggle to get into the 90s.
I’m with you. Embiid is clearly hurt.I think I'm rooting for Miami.
And the aforementioned roof cave in.
How about you guys?
I'm rooting for Morey reluctantly having to sign Harris when the rest of the league snubs PhillyAt least Tobias shot that 3 with confidence.
Today is an upgrade from the molasses he was running in a week or so ago.Has Embid been this slow since his return, or just today?
Philly. Embiid looks hobbled but in theory I could see them giving the Celtics more trouble than Miami. Plus I want them to get the opportunity to curb stomp Miami.I think I'm rooting for Miami.

So how was he putting up 30 in the last regular season games? Lousy teams (except for Orlando)?Today is an upgrade from the molasses he was running in a week or so ago.
good call—that is what it is likeSeems like a 1990s game so far.
This is the is optimistic view. The pessimistic view would be...Playoff Heat.Playoff Sixers.
I'd like that. There are a lot of really good series, good for them not to get lost.Once we get down to 16 teams, maybe we can do a separate thread for each series? The main reason I ask is if I’m behind watching, then I can safely talk about the early games without getting spoiled on the later ones.
Yeah, that blob zone looks like it could be a problem.Playoff Heat
You don’t think Buddy Hield is the answer? Neither does nurse apparentlyThe Sixers just don't have enough answers in terms of getting the ball to the weak side and attacking. Miami can overload on to Embiid like crazy and then recover, with no consequences.
Haha, yeah. He's just not good at attacking in space and exploiting the advantage. Sixers look totally lost at creating and executing the 2-on-1s Miami is conceding.You don’t think Buddy Hield is the answer? Neither does nurse apparently
Philly just scored 39 points in the first half.. against that same Miami team.. Do we really think the Celtics are going to have more trouble playing D against Philly than Miami has?Philly. Embiid looks hobbled but in theory I could see them giving the Celtics more trouble than Miami. Plus I want them to get the opportunity to curb stomp Miami.
At this point it is not a certainty that Phil beats chicago/atlanta.Philly just scored 39 points in the first half.. against that same Miami team.. Do we really think the Celtics are going to have more trouble playing D against Philly than Miami has?
Guy can still shoot and still gets a good amount of FTs... he's looked like an absolute station on defense since he's come back.. and he's landed awkwardly on his bad knee a few times.So how was he putting up 30 in the last regular season games? Lousy teams (except for Orlando)?
Amen.. let NY and Miami have a rock fight. I don't want to see Miami until the ECF if at all.Yeah. I have a horrible time trying to root for the Heat, even though the Sixers are in my mind the C's #1 rival. And Philly poses obvious challenges. That being said, I'm totally OK with shipping this Heat shit off to NY and dealing with Philly.
If Lowry was a Celtic I'd stop being a Celtics fan for a while.Buddy Hield, Kyle Lowry, Nic Batum and Tsunami Papi are 4 of the Sixers top 7…..would any of them make the Celtics top 8?
Yeah I’m not sure how you play that defense v BOS, they’ll murder you with corner threes.If Philly somehow wins this game, there's going to be a lot of film on this Heat zone. It's not uncrackable: they're relying on Philly's guys in the corners being really undynamic, and the above-the-break guys being bad too.
Batum, Harris and Oubré have been the biggest offenders.
Id have to boo him specifically. There are very few players that I legitimately can’t root for and he’s one of them (Draymond, Pat Bev, Kyrie the others)If Lowry was a Celtic I'd stop being a Celtics fan for a while.
Batum is a really interesting connective role player.Buddy Hield, Kyle Lowry, Nic Batum and Tsunami Papi are 4 of the Sixers top 7…..would any of them make the Celtics top 8?
