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.

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

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

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 🤣

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

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

“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 🤦🏾♂️.

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

THE THING IS EVERYONE ON THE HEAT SHOOT 3s
Can EVERYONE ON THE 76ERS SHOOT 3S?
Just asking HEAT IN 6

Yes in that starting lineup

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

@Rabid Salvation Miami got more shooters than Philly..
Paolo Gregor Tuazon

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.

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.

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

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