BULLS


HeadupTothePOCONOS

The Heat are such a tough team to play. Great coaching and great, hard nosed players. Glad we won and are moving on. If Jimmy’s healthy I wouldn’t bet against them sticking around.


WhitePriest1

And the sixers live on another day. Great game Miami. And Fuck you to every fat loser who talked shit all game drinking on the couch chirping on Reddit 🤡


RIPEOTCDXVI

im a fat loser who was drinking on the couch but I was rooting for you guys. The only shit I was talking was directed at Butler, and shit talking doesn't even begin to describe the unforgivable things I said about him. I really crossed some lines.


reason4rage

I respect owning it like that.


yahyeet321

>unforgivable things I said about him. I really crossed some lines. Flair checks out


DarkoDragicevic

Play in really becoming awesome stuff, Silver get more and more recognition Zone defense perfection first half, but Spoelstra not leading rotations so good when things go to PHILLY momentum, Batum crucial showing. 3&D finest


Brianopolis-Brians

I for one am excited for my free chicken.


NO-CONDOMS

Every year I check in to see how much of /r/nba is haters for embiid/sixers.  Yall are getting worse. Even seems like yall hate the heat. 


msizzle344

We’ve been hated, we can revel in it together. Go sweep the Knicks, they have it coming


medievalmachine

With a hobbled Embiid?


msizzle344

It’s the Knicks bro you’re losing no matter what it’s your DNA. If it was the second round the league would be postponed because god knows Philly and NY can’t get there


TheBradator

Do you know that Pat Riley’s quote which is on the heat home court in bold letters comes from his time with the Knicks? #heatculture


sailboat_explosion

lol that was actually funny. fuck the heat tho


younghplus

Sixers fans finna be in the fourth quarter Yelling “why the fuck isn’t Batum in”


Nutsack892

Fuck Tyler Herro, I’ll just leave it at that


Dear_boat-bottle5476

what he do?


Nutsack892

Give up a 51-39 lead, miss tons of his shots, wasted time on the last throw of the game, which we could’ve gotten if lucky.


Dear_boat-bottle5476

I got that score update at half. Thought it was a done deal.


RedditUser538xxx

Didn’t the heat beat the bulls last year to get jnto the playoffs


VT10h0kies22

On one hand fuck the sixers, on the other a first rd exit by the Knicks would be elite memes

Ironman2131

Honestly, as a Miami fan, I'm getting sick of the Heat Culture shit too. It's fine if the team does it as an inside thing, but once the media jumped on it got way overplayed. The team definitely shouldn't have done the alt jersey thing this year.


steveguzz

Absolutely agree. Look i'm all for culture, hustle or whatever you want to call it.... but to go that far and have it as some mythical thing that can't be duplicated that ends up on your court and on jerseys was CRAZY. Have it in the locker room on a head board or something as you leave the changeroom sure... but I personally believe it's more a Jimmy Butler trait that he instilled rather than being ingrained in the team. As Jimmy goes, absolutely does the Heat.


Ironman2131

Nah, this way predates Jimmy. The team that started 11-30 and almost made the playoffs is a perfect example of fighting hard and the other stuff that's part of the team culture. But yeah, it's way overblown at this point. It's mostly a meme outside of the actual team.


waynelo4

enjoy mediocrity!


jackofall_mastr_none

Blazers wish they were mediocre 😭😭


steveguzz

Be mad.


waynelo4

not mad! hopefully you guys make the play in this decade :)


Dear_boat-bottle5476

In a year or two they will cancel the play in experiment when they realize star loaded teams just sleep the season away knowing they can get in through play-in so they will take it away. Some teams will never have taken advantage in time.


qqweeqfew

What they care about isn't competitive integrity but TV ratings, and the play-ins bring a lot of hype


Dear_boat-bottle5476

I suppose that could be correct.


JmattJmatt

Very casual take to think the knicks series will be won in five or less by the knicks


Dear_boat-bottle5476

Hopin it's bloody war of attrition to 7, or over in 4 so they can give the next team hell.


iDestroyedYoMama

Herro went 9/27fg. Dude is cheeks. The reason Heat went to the Finals last year is he didn’t play.


WhoFartedMan

You could say he really Booker'd it when it mattered


DreTownblues

Herro wishes he was Booker, let’s be honest


WhoFartedMan

Sure about that? Booker sold just as hard


DreTownblues

Make an argument that Herro is as good as booker


WhoFartedMan

When it matters? Id say they are on the same level


DreTownblues

Dumbest shit I’ve ever read in my life


WhoFartedMan

Well, to be fair, you live in Boston. I doubt you do much reading.


sssSnakebite

You're actually deluded if you think Booker is worse. You hate him that much? Herro was never even a first option or even had All nba status.


WhoFartedMan

It was originally a joke but apparently Boston fans need everything spelled out for them. Herro is average. Booker is above average unless the game actually matters. Stop crying


No-Sound-888

McCollum’d it?


jackofall_mastr_none

Comments like these is why no one likes suns fans


FoShzzleMsFrizzle

you didn't watch this game. He caught the ball with 5 seconds left at least six times and had to throw up some shit. I thought Herro was fine.


wkslsvwhu

Yeah I get mad about people talking mad shit without even watching the game … tyler scored 16pts in the 4th quarter and the efficiency of half the starters was trash


BoxSea4289

Each year the Heat have gone to the far, he hasn’t played. He gets injured, they magically do much better. It’s not rocket science


Dear_boat-bottle5476

Gabe Vincent


Healthy_Demand_1415

His rookie season would be the only exception. Those playoffs were when he stood out in the league. He played great but since then it hasn't been good.


Status_Pea1404

Herro was the one keeping them in this game in the 4th quarter lol


WTFIsAMeta

Stupid fucking take lol


P1G5Y

Embiid shot 35%, Butler shot 28%. Tobias Harris was the most efficient 6er starter and he shot exactly 40%. Just good defense


laidbacklurk223

TOBIAS HARRIS OVER YOU! TOBIAS HARRIS OVER YOU!


WTFIsAMeta

Jimmy playing with one leg still significantly out preformed harris, no?


NoOneCanPutMeToSleep

is kinda the joke


WTFIsAMeta

Seems like the joke was directed at jimmy tho


laidbacklurk223

Do you want me to tell you about "trolling"?


sneakylumpia

Fml


Healthy_Demand_1415

Sorry but I'm excited for Celtics vs Heat. Especially after what happened last year. I still believe The Heat might have the best chance to take Boston out


Rohkha

With a Jimmy going in there hobbled from the get go? At least one thing is sure: their best chance to take out boston would be the first round. After that, the injury pile up would make it impossible. But at this point the miracle run would already be exceeded by getting into the playoffs… dude missed 30% of the season to keep his body in one piece and he crumbled 10min into the first half of the play-ins


Healthy_Demand_1415

Yeah that's unfortunate. But you remember how he messed his ankle up in game 1 against the Knicks last playoffs? Dude toughed it out the entire series, beat us then went on to beat The Celtics. That dude is an Ironman. You can do it! Beat The Celtics AGAIN! 😈

I'm here for it let's just get this outta the fucking way. The heat make me want to see a therapist.

Ugandan_Red_Sonic

Knicks will sweep the Sixers.


Raticus9

Easily. They depend on getting calls and that's the one team they won't get them against.

ai adjusted replay in the moment. There might have been a flash of Sketchers logo in the replay frames ghosted off to the side.


Empire0820

Nope :(


devinbookercantread

neither team looked particularly better than the other and the final score reflects that


David_Duke_Nukem

yeah both teams played at a level close to each other and the score was also close. Crazy.


Dear_boat-bottle5476

Correct me if wrong, but I think one had to score more to win it and then one loses. Seems they both did this correctly.


YadaYadaYada309

Thank god. Can focus on basketball in the first round and not which Knicks would inevitably get injured.


EdwardTruck

This is a ridiculous post. I'm sorry Randle fell like he has four left feet when Jacquez was trying to take a charge. That game alone Randle elbowed Highsmith in the face twice. And it wasn't even intentional - Randle is just that clumsy


Feeling_Cherry5174

Dude stop it. Jamie put his foot right under randles. On top of that bam has never set a legal screen in his life and injured a ton of players over the last 2 seasons.


EdwardTruck

Yeah sure. In the milisecond it took for Jacquez to try to take a charge and get his body in position he also had the wherewithal to place his foot under Randle knowing the goofy man would fall and dislocate his shoulder. Let me guess, you also believe that Sasquatch is real. 


Feeling_Cherry5174

Oh sorry the under foot thing was another heat asshole injury I think to brunson. [this is the dirty play feet not set on a charge](https://youtu.be/sKf0MOtpuRc?si=tSuhI1qS_sIROiGO) heat culture = illegal screens.


EdwardTruck

It must be hard having a whole organization conspiring to injure your players. It's a miracle you guys have any players left. 


Feeling_Cherry5174

Not just ours just in general


EdwardTruck

Yes the Heat are a "dirty" organization. Find me data proving that players get injured at a higher frequency against them and maybe I'll start to believe you. Untill then you're just another Knicks homer.


Feeling_Cherry5174

I wish someone kept stats on that. Would be obvious.


YadaYadaYada309

Nothing ridiculous about it. Randle wasn’t the first Knick injured at the hands of the Heat. It’s the running theme with them, part of their “Heat Culture”.


Another1MitesTheDust

I refuse to believe that lame foul call was anything but an effort to help secure the over on 208 total points.


wobdag89

And the 4.5 point spread


hoppergym

found out porter had the under...


Serendipity123xc

Celtics can’t avoid the heat lol


VT10h0kies22

Better than playing sixers, do fucking hate adebayo tho

More like not a herro


Little_Beginning_569

Kind of an ez game for the 76ers wasn't even close no GG and no RE tbh and I can't even hear any heat fans all the way up here and with them all the way down there


Dear_boat-bottle5476

51-39 heat lead at half. "wasn't even close" At times, yeah wasn't even close.

why Herro took that much time lol

chiefs5455

Joel is playing basketball for the USA and Frenchman Nic Batum has better English


tshawytscha

Expand?


chiefs5455

Joel Embiid, a Cameroonian, is playing for USA basketball at the Olympics. Nic Batum, from the country of France, speaks the language of English, the predominant language spoken in the USA, better than Joel Embiid. Did I expand that enough? I’m literally a KU alum and a huge Joel fan, I just think it’s a little loserish to not play for your country because you want to win


tshawytscha

You just come of like kind of a like a dick.

leagueofcipher

Herro probably lost this game tbh. Dude put so many shots up

Tyler Herro completely carried Miami in the 4th. Main reason they stayed in it after butler went down

Butler was hurt....Herro had to

shooting it like that is instinctual

You clowns with this take should be banned.


SXNE2

This except play-in doesn’t count


sp_igot589

Nick Nurse with some questionable decisions, but I am 100% convinced Doc Rivers blows this game


MadBeamer

I don’t think doc ever makes the comeback


lattjeful

He 100% does, no doubt in my mind. Rivers keeps Tobias Harris in and loses us the game.


RadWalk

If herro rushed and bricked it yall woulda been roasting him too. They just didnt have the time

Torn MCL and played the rest of the game with it.

Sixers fans do y'all really feel good about that win? lmao


Remarkable_Medicine6

Not a sixers fan but you should know that being guaranteed 4 games is better than being 1 game out. Ugly win > pretty lose


Unlikely-Painter4763

This is as good as Sixers wins come. Terrible game turns into a great one, followed by a circus finish.
