i wouldn't count out the sixers in round 2

IMO the heat are very beatable. even though it was just a meaningless regular season matchup, the sixers handled them without harden and embiid a month ago. butler and lowry are banged up and have their own injury issues to deal with. contain the heat's 3 point ability, and they are in trouble.

i think the sixers have a respectable shot to win in 6.

playoffs vs regular season? man i would be careful comparing that situation to this one.
not having embiid is why the heat are bigger chalk at -$400 than the suns are vs the mavs. Then you have the major problem of spoelstra > rivers. total mismatch

[dxp]

oh, no doubt. that's why i said meaningless regular season matchup. but if butler isn't 100%.. the heat are hugely reliant on dropping triples and D'ing it up. between harden, maxey and harris.. the sixers still have plenty of firepower.

Sixers have zero depth.

why? coaching mismatch. roster mismatch. then you subtract the runner up for league mvp, seems to justify the -$400
