That post wasn't about what said, it's slightly deeper bro
 
You have to understand Embiid changes everything on the defensive end. Without him in that game we lose bruh.

Today? Maybe. But I see what dudes was talking about in here when they said the games might be closer with Embid out there. The offense bogs down when they feed him the ball and when he's playing like he is today? Any good on defense he does is negated with how bad he was on offense today. That was some sloppy ass basketball. I still dont' know how y'all sit here with a W after that shit but its a credit to y'all. Shit should be demoralizing to the Heat. Dragic offensively was solid, Wade was, Richardson was a savage on defense....got a pulse out of Whiteside, Johnson had some big shots.....and niggas still sit here with the L. Heat just got too slooppy with the ball when it mattered.

If Embiid played game 2, this series would be over already.

I ain't gonna put that on him. I don't think he lacks heart...I think mentally he's drained and he can't compete in this series...that being said, he had a much better game today. You can tell the team and their coach doing whatever they can to get his confidence up. But to his credit....he D'd up Embid well. That's about all he's good for this series.

Agreed he did do better today, mentally he does look defeated. Defeated by the coach and by Embiid and his presence in the game.
 
If Heat couldn't win today....I Don't know if they got another one in them to win. They were dominating this game and only had a 10 point lead to show for it. Their problem is when Dragic goes to the bench. The level of play goes to SHIT. They wasted a solid effort by Wade too. Stopped being aggressive and stopped attacking the Sixers. Heat should get anything they want against the Sixers but they are too busy trying to find themselves. Spo should've figured this shit out during the season. Sixsers play Ben Simmons like he has a jumper. They gonna look back at this series and regret some of their defensive efforts. They finally learned how to defend the 3 today....Took them 3 games to figure it out.

Man Heat ain’t winning shit in Philly. :smh:

Its hard to say. I'm not saying Embid is a liability by no means. When those 3's aren't falling which they do stop falling you guys are vulnerable which is why today's game was so close. So when the 3 isn't falling that essentially makes y'all useless offensively. At that point it is all on Embid. But Embid offensively wasn't shit today. So I can't say if he plays Game 2 you guys win. If your 3 point shot is falling in Game 2? Y'all might pull out the W. But its clear what you guys are. A jumpshooting 3 point team with a point guard who can't shoot and a dominant big in Embid. Y'all won today because the Heat shot 52% from the free throw line.....AT HOME. That's bogus as fuck.
 
Probably not. If they coudln't win today they probably can't win no more. Today wasn't that Philly was the better team. Heat just shot themselves in the foot time and after time for no reason.
Lost the game at the free throw line too. Bret Brown said we had no business winning this game.

Yeah I noticed that too. His rotations are crazy.

I can tell him straight up that his best lineup is whatever combination of Wade, Dragic, Richardson, Johnson, Olnyck/Whiteside.......this nigga went out here today had Whiteside AND Olynyck in at times.....at times looked like he had Johnson at the 5....his team needs to get stops. Whatever lineup gives him the best chance at getting stops is what he needs to go with. Its sad how bad they get when Dragic leaves the game.

He's right. Not even on no hate....the Heat outplayed y'all. They left 12 points at the free throw line....Dragic needs his ass whooped too because I think he might've missed his first 2 or 3 from the free throw line. In close games like this that shit matters. But that's where the Heat are at. They can't afford to fuck up and still try and win. You guys can fuck up and still win. Heat can't afford to miss any wide open shots. You guys can shoot transition 3's and miss them and still be good. That's where this series is at. Heat have to play perfect to win the game.
 
Pelicans better realize that they are facing a team that has their vacations already planned. They can injure you and not give a fuck.
