    Embiid's about to put up a 50 burger in game 5 as a "eff you" to the MVP voters, bet.

    There are a lot of reasons for Philly to feel better about this series than the 2-2 record would suggest.

    At this point I don’t think it would be shocking if Philly manages to win 4 straight to end this. Not what I would bet on, still feels like it’s going 7, but that’s a lot different than things were looking after game 2 with unknown Embiid.

    https://nypost.com/2022/05/09/sixers-fan-addresses-courtside-catnap-during-playoff-game/

    After he was caught slouching in his seat with his mouth wide-open, many critics had assumed he had too much to drink. But according to the sleeping fan, he was “just taking a cat nap.”

    “This is unprecedented,” David Kelleher told KYW Newsradio, a local Philadelphia station. “I mean this is all over the place. Somebody said I’m officially ‘trending on Twitter.’ There has been a lot of positive feedback. Everybody is making the assumption that I had been drinking. It’s not actually accurate… I did have a drink or two, but not a lot.”

    Kelleher said his court-side snooze was a result of two things — being tired after taking a flight from Atlanta to Philadelphia after a college visit with his daughter, and eating too much at a Mother’s Day brunch.

    Kelleher said he is a “huge” Sixers fan, whose “great seats” are courtesy of his “partnership” with the team.

    “I saw James Harden’s three-pointers in the fourth quarter, but that one moment in time, and unbeknownst to me, was captured by the whole world,” Kelleher said. “The only thing is, I saw Charles [Barkley] say that, you know, ‘The guy is drunk.’ I guess he knows Philly fans and that’s his assumption and I know Charles can play with the best of them, but that was a little disappointing. But I just fell asleep for a quick nap. I had a sales director was with me. He nudged me, I woke up and watched the rest of the game.”

    Are you going to at least re-introduce yourself or nah?

    Nobody joins Clutchfans in April after a 20 win season and starts posting in the NBA Dish as if they’re a regular. Is that you @HardenVolumeOne? If not who burner is this? The chances of this being a completely new poster for the first time are zero to none.

    Lowry said following Game 4 that “the goal is to be out there” for Game 5. But the belief is he may now be forced to miss the second-round rest of the series as the Heat takes a cautious approach with the injury, according to a league source.

    I feel like calling Kyle Lowry a star today stretches that word beyond its breaking point.

    Heat are better without this version of Lowry anyway. Sixers are disappointed with that news.

    Huge game 5 for both teams, but more so for the Heat. I think it's over for them if they lose tonight, whereas if the sixers lose I still see this going 7.

    Lowry being out hurts, but not much since he's more a liability with his injuries right now. Miami needs Strus and the others to start hitting their 3's or play Duncan Robinson.

    Philly needs either Harris, Maxey or Harden to have a big game. I expect Embiid to have a good game and enormous impact even if the stats don't quite show it.

    Lowry really flopped his way into another injury

    Heat went 14-65 from three the past 2 games

    if Duncan Robinson still can’t get any PT, then he must have done something really foul

    he scored 27 points in game 1 against Atlanta, and was pretty much banished to spot minutes from there…now he’s not even in the rotation while getting paid 90 mil
