Stephen A must not watch Heat games cuz Duncan been great off the dribble taking it to the hoop all year he’s expanded his game so much since he got that big contract, casual take by SAS
Boston is not ready for MVPIID
Yea let’s take the serial playoff choker over the team that made the finals twice lmao
It'll be the 7th straight season they'll have a "what if" debate for Joel Embiid😂😂
The Sixers were never really a a threat. But playoff Jimmy and Spo. Never count them out.
Gotta say Miami. In a 7 game series their depth and defense can beat anybody in the East. 76ers are too top heavy. Miami isn’t as top heavy but deeper.
76ers are being slept on this year there gonna be a tough out like the Heat in previous years
It’s the sixers
They’ll learn one day… Heat in 5 🔥
The Miami Heat have done a fantastic job of marketing mediocrity, and their fanbase has continued to convince themselves that their mediocre performance in the regular season will somehow switch off and Jimmy will turn into a God in the playoffs. Miami Heat are dead in the water rn, and everyone is going to be chomping at the bits for them.
Day without hating on some white player is a day lost for SAS.
Also if the heat make the finals again it would be bad for basketball
No one is beating celtics in a 7 games series. We only lost to denver because of bad free throw shooting we were not out played.
The Heat are not a good team. The east is weak.
Sixers. This is the worst the Heat have been in some time, and the best the East has been in some time. Embiid is, hilariously, about as healthy as he's ever been for the playoffs, and his style of play is better suited to those games than anyone in the East – he grinds, he gets to the line, he plays smart D. I think it's C's v Sixers for the ECF with Embiid healthy.
Anybody: Hey Perk, you have no idea what you talking about…
Perk: OH YEAAAH, SO LET ME AKSIU A QUESTION!!!!
My Heat 🔥
76ers can make it to the conference finals with how conference is right now. Bucks can't play defence, Heat are too inconsistent, Pacers and Magic are pretty inexperienced
Flop Embiid 😂
Stephen a had a parlay put in for Duncan Robinson😂😂
The sixers had no answer on the zone defense 😂 spo ran man to man on clutch time smh
Boston this year is gonna beat both of them
Orlando Magic.
So happy that Giannis’s Milwaukee is so bad right now after he constructed his super team
People still sleeping on Miami after the runs they've been making in the playoffs the past 3 or 4 years its getting ridiculous at this point 😂🤦♂
76ers ! but molly is bae
There are no threats in the East, except maaaaybe Celtics if they finally get over the hump
The answer is the Sixers !!! And I’m calling it rn ! they’re going to the conference finals at least as a sleeper team possibly the finals.. ( Lol watch come back to this comment)
The Heat are playing soft this year without udonis haslem around
76ers is potentially better, but imbiid needs to perform
As long as the big guys are healthy and rested. The playoffs is going to be ridiculous crazy 😧😧😧😧😧 🏀 🎉. The gotta keep those knees well and not foul out. Man its on!
I am truly shocked with how little people must actually watch the games. Jokic, Giannis and Embiid are all amazing players but they are bigs. In the modern playoffs, a big needs a guard/wing to push them over the top. Duh. Jamal Murray was a killer who got buckets and pushed Jokic over the top in those playoffs. Khris Middleton was a killer who got buckets and pushed Giannis over the top in those playoffs. Embiid has never had that guy. Simmons? Old, bad attitude Harden? No! Maxey might be that guy.
If the 76ers or Heat play bucks in a 7 game series I’m taking both
If possible im hoping for a Heat vs Buck ECF
109 to 105, it took maxey to dro 37 and embiid with 29 and only won by 4😂😂yeah just go ahead and stop talkin about Miami cuz y’all love playoff chokers
Can the Orlando Magic get some love? They ranked pretty high for team that has Banchero as the best and he’s still not somebody and a nobody at the same time.
Miami just finds a way man. As long as they have jimmy and Bam and Spolstra at the helm they can beat any team in the league other than the Nuggets.
Lets see if Sixers close the season out right which is winning there last 5
Neither is a threat to Boston 😂🍀
Perk is actually stupid bro he's acting as if the other years when the MIA Heat made the NBA finals, during the regular season they were bottom/mid tier on offense & they were top in the playoffs lol when do these guys learn they turn it up in the playoffs not the regular season. Tyler Herro is a main part of their offense and he's been injured… I'm not even a Heat fan but this just funny
As a Cleveland Cavaliers fan, I am absolutely terrified about both the Philadelphia 76ers and the Miami Heat. We know what happens when the Heat get into the playoffs, Jimmy Butler transforms into “Playoff Jimmy” and HEAT CULTURE takes over. Plus, the Heat absolutely blew out the Cavs in their last regular season meeting. The 76ers were able to beat the Cavaliers twice thus season without Embiid, but now he’s back and I believe he’d destroy Jarrett Allen and/or Evan Mobley over the course of a 7 game series.
If you play with fire you will get burnt
SAS: they the heat they can take it
Jimmy coming back to philly next year 😀
Heat duh
Fire malika
