    Harden is definitely gonna have to step up offensively if the sixers have any chance against Miami

      @LONDO How can you can stand in defense of the condition of NBA commentators? Does it not play at your heart to see the filth of Miami upheld before the cleanliness of the 76ers? Does it not call you to action, in order to provoke justice, when the bad is said to be good? Alas, in my meditations I grow weary at this confounded “progress” our men of modern laurels and accolades speak of. For all that is transitory, all that bears its roots not into the depths of eternity, is just an image; a twisted phantasm, and to worship such a thing is to deceive oneself. Facts and stats fall in the face of destiny.

      @First Name Last Name you need to start accepting the fact that your Sixers will not make it past the 2 round and Harden will probably leave again..

      @First Name Last Name Maxey is a baby in the league, if your hope is in a 21 year old to play like an experienced vet, then wish you luck my man

      @Will Roman My hope is with destiny. Joel Embid is imbued with spiritual purity that stands above any and all stats.

      @Russell Westbrook yelling at women and children who’s guarding embiid if bam gets into foul trouble. Deadmon?🤣

    • BruceWayne

      April 21, 2022 at 12:13 pm

      @Russell Westbrook yelling at women and childrenwe are not getting rid of the 76ers in 4 I wish but that’s wishful thinking

      @BruceWayne  Team defense bro just heres a great example the Celtics are exposing the Nets

    • Beanin Beanin

      April 21, 2022 at 8:21 pm

      @Carlos Largaespada team defense don’t work on embiid breh he shooting over 50 percent being triple teamed😭

    6ixers are hype as if they passing the second round smh

      April 21, 2022 at 12:01 pm

      The sixers are peaking at the right time

    • TopDawg_TC

      April 21, 2022 at 2:03 pm

      @Nasty Nate 215 peaking😂😂😂 everyone in the east have a harder first round match up than the 76ers

  5. JumpBall

    April 21, 2022 at 12:07 pm

    Not saying this matchup won’t happen but can y’all at least wait until the first round is over 🤦‍♂️

    • Anthony Pena

      April 21, 2022 at 2:37 pm

      you really think atlanta or toronto really have a chance at this point?

    • blshotlexusjay

      April 21, 2022 at 9:32 pm

    People are really sleeping on philly never seen a mvp level player with this good of a roster be disrespected this much.

    • LDNballer

      April 21, 2022 at 12:47 pm

      The roster ain’t that good lol they’re OK, embid is just a beast

    • TopDawg_TC

      April 21, 2022 at 2:01 pm

      what roster Maxey is his only help offensively

    • The One Above All

      April 21, 2022 at 2:08 pm

      And I’ve never seen a number 1 seed team get as disrespected as they are. Heat never get mentioned yet now that people are paying attention to them, even after all the hype the media gave Philly, NOW y’all feel disrespected? Sorry but I don’t empathize

    • Neil CP

      April 21, 2022 at 6:57 pm

      Don’t tell that to the heat fans coz the heat is probably the most disrespected 1st seed in the history of the nba 🤣

  7. 인생은like candy

    April 21, 2022 at 12:10 pm

    heat has shown what they can do
    and as great as heat, they are just that.
    but for sixers, they are still growing,
    especially, foe Maxey, and rest of sixers’ team chemistry;
    their potential for further growth, just might far exceed anyone’s expectation.

    one thing for sure tho, the stronger team they face,
    it just means they can become stronger

    • Niko Holiday

      April 21, 2022 at 12:21 pm

      🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    • na uy

      April 21, 2022 at 1:07 pm

    • Neel Patel

      April 21, 2022 at 4:11 pm

      Harden and Embid going to get waxed

    • Erick Schaefer

    When Stephan A pick your team you know what that mean right? Smh

    • Paolo Gregor Tuazon

      April 21, 2022 at 9:11 pm

      Chuck picked the Bucks to win it all last year and his predictions before that were mostly wrong. What is the argument here?

    April 21, 2022 at 1:42 pm

    “Pick a side/stay there”-Ja Morant. This season the Heat will go down as the most disrespected NBA 1st seed in media ever. You did them dirty all season 🤦🏾‍♂️.

  12. TopDawg_TC

    April 21, 2022 at 2:04 pm

    everyone in the east have a harder first round match up than the 76ers

    • LONDO

      April 21, 2022 at 5:56 pm

      Hawks are definitely not a harder matchup than the Raptors lmao

  13. AllIGotMedia

    Celtics defense is better than the bad boy pistons

  14. Jesus On my mommy

    April 21, 2022 at 3:15 pm

    THE THING IS EVERYONE ON THE HEAT SHOOT 3s

    Can EVERYONE ON THE 76ERS SHOOT 3S?

    Just asking HEAT IN 6

    • Rabid Salvation

      April 21, 2022 at 5:01 pm

      Yes in that starting lineup

    • Rabid Salvation

      April 21, 2022 at 5:01 pm

      Tell me you don’t watch the Sixers without telling me.

    • LONDO

      April 21, 2022 at 5:57 pm

      @Rabid Salvation Miami got more shooters than Philly..

    • Paolo Gregor Tuazon

      April 21, 2022 at 9:09 pm

      Bam does not shoot threes and Embiid does. The thing is, Bam can guard anyone anywhere on the court. Embiid will not be as effective in three with Bam guarding him.

  15. BigES14

    April 21, 2022 at 4:33 pm

    Let’s Goo Heat!!! 🔥

  16. AIvaro

    April 21, 2022 at 6:27 pm

    Can’t really use regular season examples, playoff are a different scene. Both teams have beat each other while missing their best players. Game will be decided by coaching.

  17. mk

    April 21, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    I pick heat because of the chockness history of sixers they don’t prove anything since 2018. And doc history of chock.

    • Paolo Gregor Tuazon

      April 21, 2022 at 9:13 pm

      Embiid, Harden, and Rivers have a track record of underachieving in the playoffs.
