    Bitter Ex gone Bitter Ex.

    And BTW, why are you cats so worried about who hugs another man's nuts? I see that over and over again amongst your group. It's just weird.

    Harden is done as an elite player or yes washed. I've been saying for a while dude. You guys need a better schtick, This angry baby mama routine is lame as hell.

    He was the best player in the nba in the first round just a year ago, we’ll see how he is when he gets healthier. I doubt he’s actually washed

    It is actually hilarious just how little effort was required to set you off.

    I know a child when I see one.

    Take a nap, kid. You're embarrassing yourself.

    It's too bad game 3 is tonight and not tomorrow night. Embiid is doubtful for tonight, but probably would be back tomorrow.

    Philly down to +1.5. Vegas is accounting for Embiid playing which looks very likely still

    well that is a beautiful observation that somehow escaped me, thanks, in his multiple years in nba embid never done anything of significance and was mostly 1st/2nd round fodder despite being surrounded by multiple allstars, a huge home crowd and top picks all the time...so fitting for a son of the tank...losing can only produce more losing, there is no substitute for winning!

    Interesting stuff. Even if he comes back I assume he'll be hobbled. This one looks like a sweep to me.

    Embiid is obviously a game changer. that's what mvp caliber players are. And he puts everyone else back into roles that are more ideal to how they want to play. I wouldn't bet on a sweep with Embiid coming back. The heat merely held serve at home. They still need to go on the road here

    He needs to play game 3 cause if u r down 3-0, most likely the season is over.

    They so busy hating
    They never tell you who they love or like
    Then again . . maybe they dont because either
    1. They don't like/love any players
    or
    2. Don't want their beloveds criticized

    Honestly. Barring something crazy . . . .. like Philly tying up the series 2-2
    I would probably not play him anymore
    Maybe at 3-2/2-3 I'd play him
    but
    Why risk long term injury to someone with injury issues

    Embiid has AD like injury issues
    Except his appear more random and weird

    I think the big thing is . .. I looked at the Box Scores for these first two games

    Game 1:
    Jimmy 15 pts 9 reb 3 asst 2 stls 2 TO
    James 16 pts 9 rebs 5 asst 0 stls 5 TO

    Game 1:
    Jimmy 22 pts 6 reb 12 asst 2 stls 2 TO
    James 20 pts 4 rebs 9 asst 0 stls 3 TO

    Which one is washed again?
    Let me guess. . . Eye Test

    This series is interesting once again if Embiid is close to himself, as Miami hasn't really impressed me. They are a good, tough and focused team, but their offense has been average at best these playoffs.

    Gabe Vincent and Strus are their starting backcourt for most of these games. No knock on those guys but, they aren't exactly, Morant, Curry, Luka, Booker, Cp3, Holiday, Brown or Maxey/Harden,
