Let's go Heat (ouch), Let's Go Heat (Ouch), Let's Go Heat (OUCH).

 

[Ed Hillel]

No foul?

 

[JakeRae]

I’d still rather Philly win this game. Even with a hobbled Embiid, this Philly team is just flat out better than the Heat.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Lol

 

[ifmanis5]

Batum Bonanza!!

Neither of these teams is particularly good.

Edit: and at this point I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that the loser definitely wins the next game.

Let's go Heat (ouch), Let's Go Heat (Ouch), Let's Go Heat (OUCH).

I'm glad the shock collar is working. May need to increase the voltage....

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Batums Over Bucks County

 

[Ed Hillel]

Himmy in his shell?

 

[lars10]

Should've projected that inbound pass a bit more..

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Heat are the cockroach of the league. They are hideous and never go away.

 

[JakeRae]

Neither of these teams is particularly good.

Yes, but the margin of Philly being dangerous is miraculous Embiid health. The only way the Heat are dangerous is if they shoot 55% from three for a series.

 

[dhellers]

I'm glad the shock collar is working. May need to increase the voltage....

I am attracted to the long shot of Miami losing this one, and losing the next one.

May need to increase the voltage!?

 

[HomeRunBaker]

He looks toasty. Maybe it’s the knee but he has no burst. He’s just shamelessly trying to draw contact but without the burst it’s not working.

100% his knee. He’s not moving well at all. Once the adrenaline wears off I wouldn’t be surprised to see him miss at least the next game.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

If Embiid and Butler are both way less than 100%, it shouldn't matter at all for the C's who wins this one.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

100% his knee. He’s not moving well at all. Once the adrenaline wears off I wouldn’t be surprised to see him miss at least the next game.

I’ve been vocally down on embiid for years but credit where it’s due—he’s fighting through it tonight and impressively so

 

[lars10]

Embiid definitely got illegally picked there to allow that dunk...

 

[Ed Hillel]

Embiid hasn’t tried a shot inside three the past 15 min or so.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Tobias lol

 

[lars10]

If Embiid and Butler are both way less than 100%, it shouldn't matter at all for the C's who wins this one.

If the Celts are shooting well, neither of these two teams can keep up.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Why did Tobi take that?

Batum is saving the 76ers. Insanity.

 

[JCizzle]

Anyone with a good feel on how Hawks/Bulls will shake out?

 

[Nator]

The Batum Game?

Or the Harris game, if they lose.

 

[lars10]

Embiid hasn’t tried a shot inside three the past 15 min or so.

since he's come back has he really drove to the basket at all? Feel like he's been much more content to shoot a lot of jump shots and not go inside all that much.

 

[lars10]

Why did Tobi take that?

Batum is saving the 76ers. Insanity.

Batum had just bricked one the trip before.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

I’ve been vocally down on embiid for years but credit where it’s due—he’s fighting through it tonight and impressively so

I was referring to Butler tonight but Embiid for sure too.

On a business note, how much money has Tobias Harris cost himself since the All-Star break? Between him and Klay, man.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Batum had just bricked one the trip before.

I saw that - Batum earned that free masonry fairly. Tobi pulling that relatively early in the clock was not optimal imo

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Anyone with a good feel on how Hawks/Bulls will shake out?

If no one watches, will the game happen?



(Who am I kidding, I'll give the game a peek...)

 

[lars10]

Is Butler's main role to be a decoy in the corner? Didn't move at all that offensive possession

 

[dhellers]

Who was it that said Batum could break the Celtics top 8? Seems to be true.
BTW: philly announcers via NBA.com radio feed MUCH more tolerable than breen/doris. Even though partisan

 

[lars10]

I saw that - Batum earned that free masonry fairly. Tobi pulling that relatively early in the clock was not optimal imo

I suppose then the question would be why any player would shoot when their teammate is on a heater.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Breen will announce that Lowry is 86 by the end of the game

 

[Ed Hillel]

Embiid foot on line, I think?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This game is good AF

 

[Ed Hillel]

They called that? Lol

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That dime by Embiid

 

[lars10]

Batum pushes Herro to cerate a backcourt and Doris and Breen think it's hilarious that nothing was called.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Bring me OT

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Heat confused themselves on that defense

 

[snowmanny]

I can’t remember the last game I wanted both teams to lose this badly.

Colts vs Jets?

lakers vs martians in a space jam fanfic?

I think it was Pats/Jets season finale.

 

[Nator]

Doris finally gets her chance to gush about Embiid.

 

[Auger34]

The Celtics should absolutely fucking curb stomp this Heat team

 

[Ed Hillel]

Has Bam done anything this half?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Playoff Jimmy and Bam saving it for the next game?

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

The Celtics should absolutely fucking curb stomp this Heat team

Wouldn’t be shocked if we get Atlanta or Chicago.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Called timeout after 2 seconds

 

[lars10]

Called timeout after 2 seconds

Felt longer than 2

 

[snowmanny]

Heros up and down the roster

 

[Auger34]

Kyle Lowry is such a fucking awful player to watch. The NBA should be actively trying to get rid of players like him

 

[lars10]

at least father time is making that a reality..
