Play-In Games Wednesday April 17: Heat at Sixers, Hawks at Bulls

[Street Hunger]

Wednesday NBA Play-In Tournament Games:

7 PM ET: Heat at 76ers, ESPN

9:30 PM ET: Hawks at Bulls, ESPN

[Real Men Wear Green]

I'm a big Bulls fan until the end of the week.

[Hey Yo]

Neither of these games really move the needle for me.

[Street Hunger]

Embiid healthy

[Street Hunger]

First game is definitely more interesting than the second. Feels like both the Heat and fixer should have have had a better record this season

[Kblaze8855]

Herro fouled the **** outta Lowry. I think the refs gave him a pass because of the effort.

[FultzNationRISE]

The score is tied but I just feel like Miami has looked better executing. They've missed some shots but they're getting decent ones. Philly had a few nice possessions to start and have been very sloppy ever since.

I like Miami's chances right now.

Edit: Assuming Himmy's injury scare was just that, a scare.

[Street Hunger]

End of first quarter: Heat 23, 76ers 22.

Heat zone has helped to disrupt the 76ers, who have seven first-quarter turnovers.

[k0kakw0rld]

What was Oubre thinking, this ain't Karate. I hope Jimmy G is okay

[Street Hunger]

Crowd needs to get fired up

[FultzNationRISE]

Wow. Miami’s zone is EMBARRASSING the Sixers.

This Miami momentum is really dangerous right now for Philly. Obviously Joel has a lot of quit in him. Philly’s not a team I expect big comebacks from. They need to be in the driver’s seat.

[Kblaze8855]

Playoff Jimmy is Deion Sanders this year.

[Axe]

Ofc, the heat are going to hit hard on this one. They prefer facing NY instead of boston in the first round so bad, after all.

[RRR3]

Need to hold on I’m not trying to face the Celtics round 1 :lol

[FultzNationRISE]

Philly looks like theyre in a LOTTTT of trouble.

And I dont mean just this game and this season.

[StrongLurk]

Herro really doesn't provide impact for this Heat team.

He puts up empty stats in the regular season and then his play drops off even more in the playoffs. Heat literally made the finals without him and I am suprised he is still on the Heat. They should trade him.

[Wally450]

Embiid looks like he doesn't want to be there.

[StrongLurk]

Lowry is literally flopping every possession. Get him off the court, he isn't making a single "basketball" play. Shit is embarrassing. Refs have done a great job at not falling from his bullshit.

[Axe]

Herro really doesn't provide impact for this Heat team.

He puts up empty stats in the regular season and then his play drops off even more in the playoffs. Heat literally made the finals without him and I am suprised he is still on the Heat. They should trade him.
One of the probable main reasons they're clinging to him is because he's still young. FO think he could improve more in the future.

[FultzNationRISE]

Herro really doesn't provide impact for this Heat team.

I agree he's not a guy who really moves the needle a lot in general, I dont think he's been bad this game. He's been active and put a good amount of pressure on the Philly defense. I know he's missed some shots, I am kinda surprised to look at the box and see he's 4-15. It doesnt feel like he's been THAT off, especially with Miami having a solid lead.

He's played better tonight than his box score looks but I agree he's not a huge impact guy.

[Axe]

Philly trying to close the gap atm.

[StrongLurk]

How the **** is Spoelstra letting Herro go 4-17 from the floor and we are still in the third quarter???

Bench him and get him traded.

[StrongLurk]

Refs have been amazing not calling all the flops.

There has been an INSANE amount of flopping this game by both teams. Embiid and Butler are free throw merchants, but damn it's like everybody is flopping.

[bladefd]

Herro really doesn't provide impact for this Heat team.

Absolutely. They can get someone decent for a package of him & future 1st. He has quite a bit of trade value.

[SATAN]

Good game. Good atmosphere.

[FultzNationRISE]

I questioned LAC including Batum in the Harden deal and I loved it for the Sixers.

This is why.

[StrongLurk]

Another Herro miss and turnover :roll:

[StrongLurk]

ANOTHER Herro miss.

What is Spoelstra doing???

[FultzNationRISE]

Another Herro miss and turnover :roll:


Yeah it's getting bad now. They gotta get the ball out of his hands.

[StrongLurk]

I've seen enough, Batum is GOAT.

[Mask the Embiid]

[SATAN]

Batum saving Embiid's ass :yaohappy:

[RRR3]

Herro is so useless.

[Mask the Embiid]

We have the big fella…..everybody just be cool. Even Playoff Jimmy can’t match him


https://i.postimg.cc/ZRcxtYQN/IMG-1957.gif

[RRR3]

Herro is easily the dumbest player I’ve ever seen.

[SATAN]

Batum saving Embiid's ass :yaohappy:

This

[FultzNationRISE]

Tyler Herro iso on repeat against Thicc Batum is not the way you wanna go.

[SouBeachTalents]

What a choke by the Heat, they go from getting a very winnable series to now facing the overwhelming title favorite.

[Mask the Embiid]

This

Who do you think is hitting him in the face for open shots left and right? :oldlol: they say anything to discredit greatness

Btw you forgot to switch accounts

[FultzNationRISE]

Sixers NEARLY blew it at the last second :lol

[Axe]

Yikes, that's gotta sting. Ran out of steam in the second half. :ohwell:

[Proctor]

Trae with the "trade me" game.

Welcome to New Orleans!

[Proctor]

Drummond injuring more of his teammates. What the ****.

:roll:

[SATAN]

Drummond you dumbass. Ran straight into him.

[NBAGOAT]

Herro is easily the dumbest player I’ve ever seen.

think they got rozier to setup a herro trade in the offseason. Having both on this team doesnt really make sense

[Proctor]

**** you Trae. Pathetic effort

[bison]

Jimmy is ‘feared’ to have an MCL injury per shams.

Celtics getting a first round bye.

[RRR3]

**** you Trae. Pathetic effort
He’s gonna be a Spur.

[SATAN]

edit: already mentioned

[Proctor]

He’s gonna be a Spur.
Young/Vassell/Wemby would be :bowdown:

[RRR3]

Young/Vassell/Wemby would be :bowdown:
Not that high on Vassell tbh. He has a bit of Dion Waiters disease.

[SATAN]

Very impressed with White in this game.

[Carbine]

Young/Vassell/Wemby is not going to bring a title back to San Antonio, that's a weak "trio" with two guys that can't do much without pounding the rock and taking tough shots.

[Axe]

Great victory by the bulls. But i doubt they'd win another.

[tpols]

So old Batum goes nuts while Klay goes 0/10 with 0 points. :facepalm

I hope steph goes to a team with a real star on it next year.

[SouBeachTalents]

Damn, Zion AND Butler both done, makes for a weak final night of the play in.

[Duderonomy]

I'm a big Bulls fan until the end of the week.

The Bulls or the Heat without Butler aren't much a battle either way.

[Axe]

I guess the bulls should send drummond away this summer. He's proven himself to be useful at times but has become low iq the last few games that negatively affected some of his teammates. It may not be intentional but his clumsiness is still super dumb and unnecessary.

[Real Men Wear Green]

The Bulls or the Heat without Butler aren't much a battle either way.Bam is a challenge for the bigs.

[beasted]

Bam is a challenge for the bigs.

C'mon son.

The Heat have no chance against Boston without Butler. Herro incessantly chucks without Butler and Rozier to keep him at bay. That's absolutely a losing gameplan.

I don't want to see some inspired bs. A lot of the Celtics losses this year came from playing an opponent that they should beat easily in paper but the other team played harder. That might be a motivation thing. Tatum and Brown walk in disinterested without Butler to challenge them and some guy like Duncan Robinson hits 10 threes while the Celtics are wondering how this team is still in the game. With Chicago you have Derozan who there is someone on the internet willing to argue is better than Tatum and Brown and there would also be people saying Colby White is better than Derrick White plus at some punt in their careers I'm sure Andre Drummond has given Porzingis a hard time.

[bison]

lol its so obnoxious seeing celtics fans on the internet acting all paranoid and insecure about celtics play off run this year as if they aren't monumentally stacked. this is probably gonna be the biggest cakewalk to an NBA finals a team will have since lebron was on the cavs

Life is hard. How did Ingram do last game?

[bison]

Life is hard. How did Ingram do last game?

He was killing it until Green pulled him in the 4th to tank the game in order to avoid playing Denver first round.

[Real Men Wear Green]
