Sixers have some trouble scoring end of close games. Is it time for embiid to come back? They looked like those umbc retrievers from last month throwing up prayers hoping he ball goes in.

It was tough to watch.

Yes, please!
Embiid in the lineup slows things down for Whiteside. Philly is such a bad matchup for him.

They probably don’t need him for this series ... Wade nor the 6ers will likely shoot the way they both did tonight going foward



However you might want to bring him back just for the purpose of gettin him back acclimated to his teammates and the playoff intensity overall

Philly bouls, Trust the Process
I wouldn't put too much weight into what happened tonight moving forward. Wade played out of his mind, he's not putting up 28 on contested fadeaway long 2s again. James Johnson not going 7/7 again. Sixers not going 7/36 from 3 again. The fact that this game was as close as it was despite all that is a scary sign for the Heat.

Embiid should be back next game, he's now medically cleared.

Sixers got overconfident sitting him out Game 2, thinking they can possibly win the series without him


Now it fukked up their momentum

Whiteside vs Embiid in a series is gonna be great to watch.

Matter of fact, Embiid in the playoffs period is gonna be amazing to see. :wow:

I hope he will talk a lotta smack and back it up.

better chance of a notoriously clutch playoff performer wade scoring 25-30 again than there is of the 6ers hitting 70% from downtown like they did in game 1

To match the physicality, we should probably give Justin Anderson to tick too..

Don’t need to shoot 70% from 3 for them to win
