What an awful game. Neither team looked good. The sixers are going out quick this year.
Embiid injured and out of shape as always in the playoffs. A few times put up great regular season numbers for half a season but can never answer the bell when it counts. I have no idea why the caption here has anything to do with Embiid. He was trash gasping for breath while bending over at his knees.
Deuce McBride locks down Maxey maybe better than anyone. That was a more recent game though. He might be important.
Butler is the hardest player to figure out haha like is he great or good or bad or injured or emo? Like that dude trips me out. Ive never seen anyone be able to dominate a series, yet have such bad games. Hes been atrocious this year
4th quarter Batum provin why tf he in
Are you guys ready for the best part of the year? Where we constantly make excuses for superstars not livig up to the hype like Embiid and Tatum and Giannis getting bumped in the first round. I know i am.
Embiid was trash. Obviously out of shape and injured like he always is in any playoff setting while letting his team mates down once again. I have no idea why this caption would even mention him name. He's been a piece of trash playoff performer his whole career. Yet idiots in the national media keep pushing his narrative. I guess Jason has joined that amusing crew to line his wallet. I'll give Embiid credit for making some nice commercials. The Ju Ju pom pom barber shop piece was nice.
At this point in Jimmy's career if he isn't getting 10 points off free throws.. he won't get 25..
Are you interested in pursuing a coaching job at the college or pro level ?
7 home games for the nova boys
Embiid makes his Js in the playoffs .. his overall scoring goes down tho.
Butler MCL injury
Your opening description about playing Miami is 10000000% spot on 💯
Idky I thought you actually know what your talking about , but after this I’m. Disappointed . If you watched a lick of basketball this year you know the Knicks beating Philly and you know Chicago beating Miami . SMDH
Batum saved Philly. Embid was not healthy and played below his norm.
Embiid leads with 35% shooting from the field and ten FTA as usual
Golden State didn't invent that style – 2014 Spurs set the prototype throwing 157 more passes than Miami PER GAME in that series. GSW took that blueprint and ran with it.
You can't be coasting then turn up when you feel like it rather it's the play in or the playoffs hope Butler injury is not serious
Knicks gonna sweep the 76ers to get some rest.
What did Embiid lead? 35% FG, 9 out of 23 points from free throw. Playoff Joel is back
Stupid title Nick Batum led them Embiid was terrible
Who's a better finisher at the rim Giannis or prime Lebron?
Nic Batum won them tha game
Is shapeshifting zone what we are calling a match up zone nowadays? As someone who grew up watching Temple basketball. That defense was scary. I don't think it is quite possible in the NBA because of the lane rules but Miami's is close.
Embiid couldn't even get to his spots to make those mid range shots. It was rough but I'm glad he didn't give up. When he played the knicks in Jan his knee was already and issue and he rolled his ankle in that game but stayed in the game to increase his 30 & 10 record. Smh
1:12 Jontay missed this part of the vid
Goin to be a fun series
Great analysis
If there was always someone on embiid while the heat were in zone, maybe it’s a box-in-one? Saw the same coverage against kemba in the bubble playoff series against Boston
I did not like Embiid, i did not like Maxey, neither Buttler or Hero. Batum won the game
So Embiid after being 2 months out and playing the last few regular season games gets a pass for not being his usual self, but nobody gave this pass to Giannis last year when he got injured vs Miami in Game 1 and rushed back for games 4 and 5 without being 100%
embiied struggled efficiency wise but he was playing elite defense last night and showed up in the 4th not sure what folks are talking about here
Clap your hands 🎶 everybody 🎶 for Philadelphia 🎶 76'ers!!!! 👏❤️🤍💙👏
Batum said he’s retiring after this year so he’s not a trade asset.
The fact he finished the game and still was somewhat effective is remarkable. But their defense was remarkably at some point. Not sure why they stopped the press and shape shifting zone.
Embiid was ass juice Batum saved his bum ass
And the adjustment was simple for the shape shifting zone give embiid the ball at the top of the key and let him make the pass or go to work 💯🤷🏾♂️
76ers looked like hot trash. Celtics really are going to easily walk to the Finals.
Joel Embiid's performance had Miami feeling the Heat…literally! 🔥
What's the upside for the 7th and 8th seed teams in the play-in-tournament?…, risking injuries playing for a spot you've already earned…get well soon Zion & Jimmy
