Didn't get their ass kicked

It was the missed opportunity at the 6-minute Mark that
changed the game

But thanks

Embiid was dropping guys. Wrecking ball.

How did they get their asses kicked when it was a close game for all four quarters ?



But hey you're looking at the box scores and the end of the game where it's called stat piling

just like football ..

What's funny is I should do that to you, because you're completely missing the point.

And if the Heat were up to it they should've stopped them. That's just something we tell ourselves to make us feel better, they got rocked. Embiid was unstoppable.

Some one did not watch the game lol

- gerbe75pts

I'm sure that's true. I'm not one of those people.

Again, look at the post I quoted again. Do you know how many things you got right? 1 - Embiid played. Everything else you wrote was wrong.

And if Embiid plays this whole series, it's almost certainly 3-0 Sixers.

To be clear, I have no dog in this fight because both teams have former Duke players in prominent roles (I follow players, not teams in NBA since Kyrie left Cavs - I used to live in CLE for school). I just want good games, and this series has delivered for the most part.

I hope it's just as good a game. You're right that this one was close until late in the 4th. I hope every game goes that way.

I'll be much more interested in BOS/MIL.

I have minimal interest in TOR/WAS.

I'm probably going to watch team LeBron but it's just not fun watching him struggle when his whole team is garbage

I like watching the Raptors suffer so I'm hoping John Wall has a good game

Is the Toronto thing related to your brother?

I may try to watch some of the Cavs game if I'm able at work. I do respect James and enjoy watching him play. Adding Hood made me much more interested in the Cavs, but a lot of the new guys seem too intimated by James to just take shots. He doesn't want you to defer. If he gets you the ball, take the damn shot. He gave it up for a reason.

What lies?

The only lies are the ones we tell ourselves. That the game really was closer then the final score. The only exception being empty net goals in hockey.

A 3 point game in the 4th quarter that turns into a 24 point loss in football was not a close game. You lost by 24 points.

It's called rationalization. Everyone does it. The Heat made it a game, but were ultimately handled easily. I just saw one play where Embiid broke a guy's ankles and then bulled through another for a basket leaving 2 Heat on the floor. That's all I needed to see.

He also made a 17-foot jumper, then a contested 3, then 2 free throws in a couple minutes to expand a 7 point lead to a 14 point lead with less than 5 minutes to play. He also had a block and a few rebounds in that span. To say he had no impact on the final outcome is wrong.

I have a bit of cognitive dissonance going on with Kansas, but that mother(frank)er is good.

I don't like Kansas or Kentucky, in particular, but you're right.

I still have to respect Embiid and the Brow. And Booker, apparently.

- homiedclown



Yeah, that's been a thing for weeks.

But if the Browns do take Darnold does that make the Giants more or less inclined to move?

This close to the draft assume everything you hear is disinformation. I don't believe that NFL network thing from tonight that the Bills aren't going after 2OA.

Yeah, probably, unless it's to 1 and I just don't see that happening short of the biggest overpayment ever, literally.
