Anybody betting the 76er Heat game?
detroit was hitting everything last night and wouldve won regardless but disgusted to see that whiteside was not injured and only played 12 minutes because of the 76ers fast breaks. layden had no problems keeping eaton in the game for 42 minutes against the showtime lakers in the 88 series limiting the lakers to under 100 points in three of the games
arguably your best player is limited to 12 minutes...just dumb
its not hard to slow the game down and manage the shot clock.
Holy shit did you manage to get a Mark freaking Eaton reference in there?
Respect man, for real. I'd forgotten about that big mountain blocking shots in the 80's. Wow.
thats how i capped the series. 76ers are a great open court team you have to make it a half court game. the heat have good defense. i bought some more heat series +650, need a win in game 2 then game 1 blowout meant nothing

Whiteside is def not one of Miami’s best players
Up until this year he was a rebounding and shot blocking machine. Altered a ton of shots too. I haven't seen much of the Heat this year honestly. I know he's been hurt on and off.
Is his regression more injury based or what? I think he was maybe a bit overrated even at his best since he tended to leave his man a lot wandering around looking for shot blocking opportunities. That said, he did make a lot of positive contributions. This year I haven't heard much about him at all.
No, i personally think he's overrated because we keep expecting that 2015-16 Whiteside that had a HUGE impact on games. Being injured def could be the reason, he still had the second highest plus minus on the team last season so its not as though he was just a flash in the pan. IDK, its tough to tell, but its pretty telling when he has the second lowest plus-minus on the entire team this season, while theoretically being outplayed by both Adebayo and OlynykUp until this year he was a rebounding and shot blocking machine.

Heat are stil alive in the series imo even if they lose game 2. Obviously they'd need to then hold serve on their home court, but it's not over even if they go down 0-2.
Sixers are more talented, and getting Embiid back soon will only widen that gap. BUT...they are inexperienced and honestly that blowout win in game 1 might actually work against them. It's possible (not likely, but possible) that they get ahead of themselves and get cocky and play TOO loose.
Lot of chalk on the board today. I like most of it tooLoading up on Mets today vs my Brewers. Gigantic pitching mismatch.
Chacin has been brutal and Thor is Thor. Mets ML (parlayed with Angels ML), Mets -1.5, -2.5, and first five inning -.5.
