Playoff heat back in the building

Like clockwork

 

[AAKing23]

NBA team who can’t play against a zone

 

[iamduval]

the fact that philly can't get two decent shots in a row against a set defense is actually hilarious considering the roster they have

I don’t know if y’all have watched Miami Heat playoff basketball but this is how this shyt works

 

[Mike18jj]

Oh man

 

[UpAndComing]

Sixers playing with fire

If they lose this game, it's not a walk in the park that you are automatically going to win against the Bulls or Hawks

It’s time to give Tyrese the keys. He doesn’t mope as soon as he goes down 2 in big games like some players

JJ Reddikk with a perfect description of the Heat zone

"It's shape shifting and attacks pressure poins"

A textbook dikk head JJ Reddikk answer. Mike Breen just wanted to know if NBA players like playing zone defense. JJ Redikk, you were an NBA player. Did you like playing zone defense? What do we get from JJ? A diatribe on the f****** Heat's amorphous blob of a zone defense. I can't stand this f****** guy.

One of my biggest concerns going into the postseason was that this is Maxey's first year as a lead guard without Harden and there was no way to know how he'd respond to being at the top of the team's scouting report. He's scoring but he has 3 first half turnovers.

We make Brown and Tatum look the same way. It ain’t just the Sixers

Exactly. You would think there won't be more post up plays for Embiid who can just go in the middle of the floor. That's usually where you can attack a zone

Don't know if any brehs in here watch futbol/soccer but it reminds me of Man City's press and how 2-3 defenders will circle around the dribbler and force him away from going straight or have to pass immediately

You helped off of Marcus Smart to dig at Tatum and Brown when they drive. Don't get gassed lol
