Next game I’m hoping. Ben can’t do it all himself.
I’m less confident now we have to win in Miami.
Tomorrow on First Take: Can Miami take out the Eastern Conference?

I think you'll have no problems nicking on in Miami with Joel back

The turnovers out of nowhere can’t possibly help you.

Heat V Phillie looked a lot closer in game 2 (captain obvious).
Two little wrinkles outside of your obvious Phillie shooters missing open shots and Dwyane Wade scoring 20 odd points out of the contested midrange..
1. The Heat played up on Simmons and shared the fouls around. It just slightly reduced that efficiency and those accurate spot ups to the curling Redicks and Belinellis of the world. It'll be tough for him to cop that over the course of a series if the Heat can take it that far.
2. A good example of the difference between regular season and the playoffs, part of Phillie's style was slightly neutered in this game- the aggressive close outs. Regular season Phillie can close out aggressively and therefore build a habit of having teams shoot bad against them. This game saw the Heat be decisive and aggressive in attacking these aggressive closeouts. It's part of why Dragic played better. It could create a response where the Heat get better looks off the first catch.
Another little thing i noticed was that without the other two way superstar out there, Phillie's lineups had a bit less balance than the Heat's. There were long times where Simmons and Roco were the only good defenders they had out there and others where TJ and Holmes played where the offence suffered. Simmons' star power alone could them the series win alone tbh, he makes teams work so hard back, but Embiid playing is gonna be huge factor.

No doubt the passing of Hal Greer played on the minds of the 76ers today

Bucks MUST win today if they are to be more than a chance of taking the series.

Literally no one's talking about it. They went with a full court press as Miami was inbounding, with no time left. Dragic is well within his to go for it. Is it going to attract some boos in the moment, yeah sure, but it ends there.
The Saric one was funny because a) he genuinely didn't know there was some 'unwritten (bullshit) rule' against it and b) because Jordan Clarkson got so ******* worked up about it.

It is pretty much storm in tea cup type thing isnt it.
I admit I just googled dragic layup end of regulation and found little serious content.
I partially agree that if you dont want them to score a layup, play D on them, even at end of teh game.
It's like in soccer, player is down with injury, there's no rule to say kick the ball out to stop play. The ref decides. I laugh when say a Bristol City player is down, and Bristol players motion for ball to be kicked out. But Everton players play on....and eventually lose the ball. Bristonian gets the ball and plays on and on and on, instead of kicking ball out. See it can go on for ages. Having said that, in my playing days whenever a player was injured, everyone on the pitch screams for the ball to be dispatched. But thats amateurs were social and having fun is the key.
Anyway forgot what my point was.

He wanted to be back game 2. Hopefully game 3. Need him out there.
I don't understand why players get so worked up over this. The clock's still running, the game's still on, so if a player wants to shoot a basket then why not? I don't care that it's accepted that players dribble down the clock. It's 2 points in a game that has already been decided FFS, not the end of the world. Players carry on like such babies over it.
