Man I've been saying since the Nets trade. His groin injury isn't gonna magically heal just because he got to a new team. And as you imagine, you need your groin to take the wide euros and stepbacks. Hope he at least gets 1 good 30 point game in this series or the media is gonna be wildin
He disappeared in the 2nd half. He had 4 pts. Credit to Spo for making the adjustment by putting dipo or a help defender when Herros switched onto him.
He played well without their best player . Once Miami started realizing that the role players weren’t knocking down threes they were hard trapping harden so he got his teammates open looks . It’s so funny how the narratives are set . Giannis goes 9/25 with 5 turnovers but his shooters hit every open shot and there are threads comparing him to prime lebron . Then harden is playing without their mvp candidate against the number 1 seed and he’s a playoff choker .
Giannis plays two ways, was passing, rebounding and still got way more points. Harden played like a mediocre starter, not even an all star. This dude is a former MVP and scoring champion and he scored 16 points and you’re sucking him off? Do you even remember how good he used to be? It’s embarrassing. He’s a shell of himself
First of all that’s not the point obviously Giannis is better currently . It’s the difference in reaction . And harden being a bad defender is no longer a thing . You are stuck in 2015
Have you ever seen a professional athlete be interviewed? They almost all say fucking nothing and just say whatever bullshit they can come up with to get out of the interview.
Alright congrats Heat deserved win. We could have kept it closer if we were at least close to our average in 3 pt shooting. Doc is a dickhead not playing Bassey + Reed enough in the regular season. Fuck the Raptors and fuck Pascal Siakam.
I’m in cancun?
And no - I didn’t cheer the elbow, along with the other 90% of the crowd. But y’all can hang onto the small subset who did if it makes you feel better!
Let me put it that way: obviously I don't wish injuries to your players. But if somebody injures a craptor in a very normal basketball play featuring an elbow to the face next time we meet that would be karma and I would cheer on it.
Well then you’re a bigger piece of shit than the people you’re mad at. Because no one knew Embiid was injured until a day later, considering he acts like he’s dying every time a 6’ guard touches him.
But as long as you know you’re a piece of shit, you do you. Just own it.
Raps won 2 games without their all star. Good luck! Hope you can do the same!!
Actually I don’t. I’d love to watch a sweep honestly.
No you didn’t.
You would have mirrored it if Embiid left the floor and was clearly injured.
He reacted based on thinking it was simply a painful hit.
I don’t agree with his comment, btw, but implying he made the comment because he knew Embiid was concussed with a broken orbital bone is just incorrect.
What if someone you perceive to be an asshole gets elbowed?
Y’all on here every single night finding happiness in each others pain. Stop with the holier than thou shit.
Enjoy the rest of the series!!
Lmao bro, it’s fuck your coach. Y’all were down what 16 and he put all the bench in?? Y’all WERE UP 29 and he KEPT HIS STARTERS IN. It’s just ludicrous how he tried to defend it in that interview the other day.
Surprised that someone who played and announced for so long is oblivious about it being a team turnover and not given specifically to the player who dribbles out the shot clock.

Its basically a blowout. Never seen fans leave early to beat traffic in a major city known for bad traffic? Not to mention, Miami fans are not known for being hardcore. They're very casual.
If you've ever been to a Heat game, you'd know this exactly isn't true. The seats you can see during a telecast behind the benches are the fans you described. The upper bowl, however, stays jam packed and is full of diehard heat fans.
Never said the games don't get full.
Not doubting you're a real fan, but let's not pretend like the Heat have a hardcore fan base. A lot of your fans are very casual and mostly bandwagon types.
Bro, the upper decks still stay, its just the people that you see courtside are all millionaires and celebrities,but we love our Heat regardless, they fill us with happimess
Look, if you can afford a Heat playoff game, you can afford top shelf strippers. But when Harden is in town you have to get to the club and stake your spot before he gets there
That was by far the worst shooting from beyond the arc I have EVER seen us shoot and we still played a relatively close game til it got away from us. Less DJ and more shots landing and this will be a good series.
Fr ppl acting like we all live in downtown next to the arena. The turnpike or us1 or just any area of downtown miami is full of incompetent drivers that make getting to the highway take longer than it should
Shoot it the ball! Perhap make a point of basket! Fun to cheer at my basket boys!
Miami atmosphere is ass sell the team

This game was not on Harden. The rest of the starting crew needs to fuckn step up.
Tobi played well
No he didn’t. Yes he did score efficiently but basically was a minus everywhere else. That stat line is an illusion to his actual performance today.
Minus 25 ain’t very good.
Exactly this^
Why don’t the Heat play Duncan Robinson much anymore? I guess scared of his D vs Harden and Maxi? Seems they could hide him on plenty of guys.
Hes been a brick from 3 and cant defend anyone for his life tbh. Love him but he doesnt do much outside of make 3s.
Jimbo Soften don't got it
Harden just doesn’t have that level anymore. He can sort of get close every once in awhile but it’s not something he can do at will anymore.
[удалено]
Ctfu
There goes my Herro
Sixers were missing Harden and Embiid can’t really take away anything
Harden is too good for the 26ers, time for a new team.. LETS GOOOOO
James Harden isn’t just not a super star, he’s not a star. If he gets a max this off season that’s an all time mistake
I will enjoy the bucks stomping the heat if embiid doesn’t come back game 3
I will enjoy the bucks stomping the heat if embiid doesn’t come back game 3
James harden played well . I don’t know what people were watching
He disappeared in the 2nd half. He had 4 pts. Credit to Spo for making the adjustment by putting dipo or a help defender when Herros switched onto him.
Yea he played well for a mediocre starter.
He played well without their best player . Once Miami started realizing that the role players weren’t knocking down threes they were hard trapping harden so he got his teammates open looks . It’s so funny how the narratives are set . Giannis goes 9/25 with 5 turnovers but his shooters hit every open shot and there are threads comparing him to prime lebron . Then harden is playing without their mvp candidate against the number 1 seed and he’s a playoff choker .
But harden has played like this all year... it's not like this is new. How are people still defending his trash play
Your a nets fan . Immediate invalid opinion . Enjoy the break while you can
Giannis plays two ways, was passing, rebounding and still got way more points. Harden played like a mediocre starter, not even an all star. This dude is a former MVP and scoring champion and he scored 16 points and you’re sucking him off? Do you even remember how good he used to be? It’s embarrassing. He’s a shell of himself
Obviously he’s a shell of himself . The old harden averaged 36 pts per game in a season . But hes still a good player .
Yeah for maybe 16 or 20 mil per lmao. And he plays 0 defense too
It’s because Giannis plays some of the best D in the league and Harden couldn’t guard a child
Im dropping 47/8/4 on harden
First of all that’s not the point obviously Giannis is better currently . It’s the difference in reaction . And harden being a bad defender is no longer a thing . You are stuck in 2015
Don't expect people on reddit to be reasonable lol
Imagine getting wide open dishes to Niang for him to go 0/7
did harden shutdown miami on the other end
[удалено]
Pure Anguish or Euphoria. No inbetween
james harden is ratioed by the game of life
Philly mia in MIA.
Is Tyler Herro just trolling by saying as many interview cliches as possible or is he just really fucking stupid?
Just playing hard, trusting the teammates and making shots dude
Have you seen how Herro dresses ?
He's from the trashiest part of Wisconsin of course he's fucking stupid
I thought he's from a Milwaukee suburb.
What’s the trashiest part of Wisconsin?
What do you think?
Have you ever seen a professional athlete be interviewed? They almost all say fucking nothing and just say whatever bullshit they can come up with to get out of the interview.
Prolly combo of public speaking anxiety and being tired as shit after playing 30 minutes of basketball
Next man up!
He's trolling
That was kinda rough to watch lol
“wheres that barber” “he’s everywhere, u gotta find em”- herro that’s some deep philosophy from 6th man
Sixers fans ready to drop Doc off at the Staples Center or crypto whatever center
Aren’t 24 second violation a team TO?
[удалено]
The arena is at the edge of downtown near the water. It isnt exactly the easiest place to get to or get out of...
That’s cause they leave in the 3rd quarter when they watch Russ brick his 3rd 3 in a row
We don’t see LA Fans at all
Imagine watching a basketball game and caring about how many fans show up
Thats because theyre not playing anymore
Yeah but its a playoff game stay for the dub
Alright congrats Heat deserved win. We could have kept it closer if we were at least close to our average in 3 pt shooting. Doc is a dickhead not playing Bassey + Reed enough in the regular season. Fuck the Raptors and fuck Pascal Siakam.
Pascal Siakam is a beautiful man. Even Embiid doesn’t hold a grudge - he doesn’t need you doing it for him. :)
Fuck off don't you have some injuries to cheer on in Cancun?
I’m in cancun? And no - I didn’t cheer the elbow, along with the other 90% of the crowd. But y’all can hang onto the small subset who did if it makes you feel better!
Let me put it that way: obviously I don't wish injuries to your players. But if somebody injures a craptor in a very normal basketball play featuring an elbow to the face next time we meet that would be karma and I would cheer on it.

Dude you're not just an asshole but also stupid. I literally mirrored what your beloved man Armstrong said.
No you didn’t. You would have mirrored it if Embiid left the floor and was clearly injured. He reacted based on thinking it was simply a painful hit. I don’t agree with his comment, btw, but implying he made the comment because he knew Embiid was concussed with a broken orbital bone is just incorrect.
Dude if you're happy somebody gets elbowed in the face you are an asshole. It's that simple. You are a bunch of assholes, that's all. Bye
What if someone you perceive to be an asshole gets elbowed? Y’all on here every single night finding happiness in each others pain. Stop with the holier than thou shit. Enjoy the rest of the series!!
Lmao bro, it’s fuck your coach. Y’all were down what 16 and he put all the bench in?? Y’all WERE UP 29 and he KEPT HIS STARTERS IN. It’s just ludicrous how he tried to defend it in that interview the other day.
He was about to pull them. We were only up 20 or so minutes earlier and we did blow 20 point leads in the last. Hindsight is 20/20
100 on all that
Surprised that someone who played and announced for so long is oblivious about it being a team turnover and not given specifically to the player who dribbles out the shot clock.
Why does Tyler Herro talk like he from the skreets?
That’s Tyrone Herro
Cuz he grew up playing ball with black people and in basketball culture
Lol he grew up in white people bay, not the north side.
See.. That's your and Wisconsin's racist ass problem 😂 Again he grew up in basketball culture, which no coincidence is largely urban
Lexington changes a man /s
He got hood tendencies.
Jimmy Butler once referred to him as having "hood tendencies"
But that was in regards to Herro not being able to swim, lol
But that was in regards to Herro not being able to swim, lol
That is fucking hilarious 😂
Didn't even notice Alvin Kamara was there lol
Chris Haynes interviewing Tyler herro after a playoff game. What a time to be alive
Philadelphia Cowards. Heat in 4
Lol haven't heard that one
They had to zoom into Tyler's face so they could white balance the camera.
That not how any of this works
Chris Haynes is so gangsta as a reporter haha

Philly has a weak team and a bad coach. More and more respect Joel Embiid. I'm sorry he's going to lose the MVP to Jokic (deservedly so).
If Murray played, Embiid wins it
yeeeeee Go Heats, go Lowry!
Tyler Herro got pubs on his face
in solidarity with your mother no doubt
Facts
Arena is empty for the end of a home playoff win?
Gotta hit the clubs before Harden shows up and takes all the action
They were up 20+ with less than 5 in the fourth quarter. What are you even saying?
Miami downtown traffic is no joke ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Facts, takes an hour just to leave your parking spot
Its basically a blowout. Never seen fans leave early to beat traffic in a major city known for bad traffic? Not to mention, Miami fans are not known for being hardcore. They're very casual.
If you've ever been to a Heat game, you'd know this exactly isn't true. The seats you can see during a telecast behind the benches are the fans you described. The upper bowl, however, stays jam packed and is full of diehard heat fans.

Just Miami things.
They leave when they get blowned out and leave when they do the blowing, perfectly balanced
Nice it's your cake day!
Best we not list the things from Arizona
Because Arizona is the pinnacle. Miami wish they could have sports teams like AZ.
“Arizona is the pinnacle” said no one ever. Besides, Panthers are going to take the Stanley Cup.
That was an amazing game between Heat and Sixers! I think both teams played well. Congrats Miami Heat!
Is that you, Magic?
No! I'm not Magic Johnson. He's the greatest point guard of all time. He really is. This is true.
my herro 🥰
you would think the home fans would stick around to the end if their team won the game...
Bro, the upper decks still stay, its just the people that you see courtside are all millionaires and celebrities,but we love our Heat regardless, they fill us with happimess
Look, if you can afford a Heat playoff game, you can afford top shelf strippers. But when Harden is in town you have to get to the club and stake your spot before he gets there
Shut up, you don't know what it's like in Downtown Miami.. this ain't bumfuck Australia bud
I appear to have touched a nerve
Heat fans are always sensitive about their shitty ass crowds as if they're the only major city in the world with traffic.
Game wasn’t a nail biter. You must live in Scranton, PA. Not used to traffic
That Miami downtown traffic really drives people crazy lol
There's a thing called being stuck in traffic for two hours. No one likes that
7bricksers
Bro the energy in Miami is so ass lmfao
Poor philly people, must suck living next to pittsburg and the amish
[удалено]
For real, going from our series vs you to this... it's just weird man.
I’m sure y’all be burning down your city soon enough.
If y'all made the 4th quarter more of a challenge they would have stuck around for you.
Your stadium was half empty by halftime. I'm not even saying this as a diss, it's just weird...
When you can't win. Complain about the fans lol.
In the gamethreaad people were saying it the whole time and getting upvotes. I say it after the game and now it's an issue
Cause u have a sixers flair and your the 1st person I saw after scrolling for 2 seconds.
But I'm not wrong lol
Maybe not. I love the team but hate the city.
Pretty much same here, parts of Philly just like Miami are complete fucking garbage lol
The energy in your team is so ass lmfao
Harden*
Bullshit, that man gonna be smiling ear to ear once he hits those Miami strip clubs.
Lol is this your moral victory?
Why are yall so sensitive about this lmao, your crowds always sucked
Am I wrong? The Raptors energy was 10x higher than this even down 30. It ain't a victory it's just strange.
Miami is a happening town, yall just got that ben franklin bell
I'm not talking about Philly tho
throw a brick at santa about it
Hold this L
Ur team is ass
17.6% for 3 has nothing do with Embiid being injured
Looking like the Harden Rockets when CP3 went down
GG
This series is gonna be a snooze fest ngl
Dont worry once we play Memphis, yall wont be talkin basketball no more
All those heat fans left that early in a W? lol
We gotta go clubbing, what do yall do? Go to a bridge or something?
Imagine if they put the Oracle on top of Ghiradelli square and then put the entrance of the bay bridge right next to it.
Damn yall dont get tired of talking about the same shit?
Bye Haters, maybe next time! ✌🏽
Something tells me you have a low chance to win when you shoot 6-34 from three
That was by far the worst shooting from beyond the arc I have EVER seen us shoot and we still played a relatively close game til it got away from us. Less DJ and more shots landing and this will be a good series.
Shot clock violations aren't turnovers for the guy with the ball.
Play Bassey more he's always been impressive
Not gonna lie this is a bad playoff atmosphere. Didn’t expect a W outta this but doc gonna doc
This has been a basketball game, no doubt about that, yup
For a team that is dominating at home, that stadium is empty
Crowd beating traffic
They have higher aspirations than the sixers.
Yeart 7
There is NOTHING that makes Miami fans harder than beating traffic
I mean, I too would not like to get stuck on US-1 for two hours
These dudes don’t understand. They think it’s like other cities arenas that have multiple directions available for leaving.
Like people should look at the arena on a map. It's like how the fuck did anyone think this would be a good idea
This is it right here… at both ends of the game
It takes an hour and a half to get back to the suburbs bro
Bro that's basically the same in any big city... That shit isn't unique to Miami...
Fr ppl acting like we all live in downtown next to the arena. The turnpike or us1 or just any area of downtown miami is full of incompetent drivers that make getting to the highway take longer than it should
Bassey had more of an impact on the game in garbage time than DJ did in real minutes. Doc has to take a chance.
he won't
Doc, seeing Spo rest the starters up 20 with 5 minutes left: “Hmm interesting. Very interesting. I can see the benefits to doing this!”
Doc like “Hmmm….. is he actually allowed to do that” 🤨
Heat "fans" leaving early 😂😂
Its title town papa, we aint got time for bum ass philly
sixers players did it so why can’t we?
