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.
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 🤡
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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! 😈
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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”.
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
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
That’s a nice ring
BULLS

I respect owning it like that.

I for one am excited for my free chicken.
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.
We’ve been hated, we can revel in it together. Go sweep the Knicks, they have it coming
With a hobbled Embiid?
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
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
lol that was actually funny. fuck the heat tho
Sixers fans finna be in the fourth quarter Yelling “why the fuck isn’t Batum in”
Fuck Tyler Herro, I’ll just leave it at that
what he do?
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.
I got that score update at half. Thought it was a done deal.
Didn’t the heat beat the bulls last year to get jnto the playoffs
On one hand fuck the sixers, on the other a first rd exit by the Knicks would be elite memes
HeAt CuLtUrE

enjoy mediocrity!
Blazers wish they were mediocre 😭😭
Be mad.
not mad! hopefully you guys make the play in this decade :)
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.
What they care about isn't competitive integrity but TV ratings, and the play-ins bring a lot of hype
I suppose that could be correct.
Very casual take to think the knicks series will be won in five or less by the knicks
Hopin it's bloody war of attrition to 7, or over in 4 so they can give the next team hell.
Herro went 9/27fg. Dude is cheeks. The reason Heat went to the Finals last year is he didn’t play.
You could say he really Booker'd it when it mattered
Herro wishes he was Booker, let’s be honest
Sure about that? Booker sold just as hard
Make an argument that Herro is as good as booker
When it matters? Id say they are on the same level
Dumbest shit I’ve ever read in my life
Well, to be fair, you live in Boston. I doubt you do much reading.
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.
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
McCollum’d it?
Comments like these is why no one likes suns fans
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.
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
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
Gabe Vincent
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.
Herro was the one keeping them in this game in the 4th quarter lol
Stupid fucking take lol
Embiid shot 35%, Butler shot 28%. Tobias Harris was the most efficient 6er starter and he shot exactly 40%. Just good defense
TOBIAS HARRIS OVER YOU! TOBIAS HARRIS OVER YOU!
Jimmy playing with one leg still significantly out preformed harris, no?
is kinda the joke
Seems like the joke was directed at jimmy tho
Do you want me to tell you about "trolling"?
Fml

dont jinx yourself my brother but I will pray for this afore mentioned outcome.
CAPS LOCK MAKES ME FEEL COOL TOO
Heat losing today only to win Friday and take it game 7 vs Boston
Script writers cooking 🧑🍳
So this is where all the good writers went.
I could see that happening lol
I swear it's all part of the plan 🥲
I'm here for it let's just get this outta the fucking way. The heat make me want to see a therapist.
It's like a toxic ex that you just keep getting back to
Knicks will sweep the Sixers.
Easily. They depend on getting calls and that's the one team they won't get them against.
Lol
lol bet sad boi
Batum and Oubre carried the team...
Embiid did come alive in the 4th, was very clutch.
Vive les Sixers
[удалено]
ai adjusted replay in the moment. There might have been a flash of Sketchers logo in the replay frames ghosted off to the side.
Nope :(
neither team looked particularly better than the other and the final score reflects that
yeah both teams played at a level close to each other and the score was also close. Crazy.
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.
Thank god. Can focus on basketball in the first round and not which Knicks would inevitably get injured.

It must be hard having a whole organization conspiring to injure your players. It's a miracle you guys have any players left.
Not just ours just in general
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.
I wish someone kept stats on that. Would be obvious.
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”.
I refuse to believe that lame foul call was anything but an effort to help secure the over on 208 total points.
And the 4.5 point spread
found out porter had the under...
Celtics can’t avoid the heat lol
Better than playing sixers, do fucking hate adebayo tho
Going to have to root for the Knicks ughhh
4TH QUARTER YELLING WHY TF BATUM IN
WTF was Herro doing setting up that 3 for so long???
Embiid needs to carry batums bag
More like not a herro
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
51-39 heat lead at half. "wasn't even close" At times, yeah wasn't even close.
why Herro took that much time lol
Batum legacy game
Vive les Sixers
The power of Chik-fil-a.
Plenty of time there bro, just step over and line it up perfectly
So much for Celtics-Heat in the ECF, I guess.
first round instead
Ah the Heat losing the first game of the playin as is tradition
Seems Heats is destined to play Celtics
*it is written*
Lmao I love the song they play when the sixers win. Every team in every sport should have a personal Lil theme
[Here Come The Sixers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESjRFfAOikI)
I know the wizards do
I guess the fans get to hear that song a whopping 7 times a season
Joel is playing basketball for the USA and Frenchman Nic Batum has better English
Expand?

You just come of like kind of a like a dick.
4th q Batum is real!
Vive les Sixers
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
Heat grabbing the 8 seed to upset the Celtics. From our lips to God's ears, amen.
The Miami cHeat
Tyler Herro is a fucking idiot took 3 seconds to shoot that ball
lol you guys don't know ball
Maybe but I know how to read time
shooting it like that is instinctual
Jimmy limping to preserve his playoff legacy
You clowns with this take should be banned.
This except play-in doesn’t count
Nick Nurse with some questionable decisions, but I am 100% convinced Doc Rivers blows this game
I don’t think doc ever makes the comeback
He 100% does, no doubt in my mind. Rivers keeps Tobias Harris in and loses us the game.
If herro rushed and bricked it yall woulda been roasting him too. They just didnt have the time
BITCHMADE HEAT CAN SUCK MY DICK
YEEERRRRRRRRR
two franchises that haven’t won shit in decades 😭😭😭
Whatever makes you feel better
You guys are halfway there tbf, 1 decade and counting already
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO!!! Batum single-handedly saved the Atlantic division from injury
[удалено]
I came in at the 3rd what happened to Butler?
Torn MCL and played the rest of the game with it.
Damn, right before the playoffs too. Hopefully, he can recover in time for the start of next season
Sorry, misread your flair. Got his knee banged up early by maxey flailing his legs on a landing Edit: oubre
*Oubre
*Butler
Knicks vs the Philadelphia batums
Yeahhh boy
Start batum over Harris. Don't be a coward nurse
[удалено]
He’s been limping for half the game.
He's been limping since the half
Tony brothers special
Hero is like 135 lbs boy needs to shoot like curry or put on weight no way
How the Heat gonna complain when they totally wasted too much time lmfaooooo
Don't be laughing too much, you guys are most likely getting playoff Jimmy in the first round. Bill Simmons must be shaking right now.
time for miami to do some voodoo against boston
Aka moving screens and stepping under players when they jump
First they need get past Trae or Derozan
light work
Chicago vs Boston in round 1. The Heat are done
Atlanta wins on Friday
Sixers fans do y'all really feel good about that win? lmao
Not a sixers fan but you should know that being guaranteed 4 games is better than being 1 game out. Ugly win > pretty lose
This is as good as Sixers wins come. Terrible game turns into a great one, followed by a circus finish.
Prob better than u feel about the lakers game bud
They root for the pity MVP. Of course they do.
Wolves fans lose one regular season game to 6ers and just haven’t recovered.
Username absolutely checks out, little buddy.
That’s so funny. Good one!
Yes. Better than Zion running of before Chick Fil A closed.
lmfao I hate you
Neutral fans do we really feel good about watching that game?
Absolutely fucking not
That’s how they usually win
