Wizards making the playoffs
Powell got bad after the all star break and he is trash on defense. Heat are better without powell.
Windy made a great point; Hardaway will pressure Klay to make shots. Hardaway & Bam are marksman. Aedin
Miami vs Knicks : Sixers vs. Boston. Finals(2027) : Miami vs Sixers. Miami win in seven!!
We love the love from everyone sleeping on us
Go Knickerbockers repeat 🏀📋💭📱
giannis mvp. sixers are going nowhere with broken Embiid and ancient LeBron
NEGROS MEXICANS NATIVE AMERICANS 12 TRIBES OF JACOB WAKE UP WE ARE GOD CHOSEN PEOPLE THE TRUE HEBREW ISRAELITES NO EATING PORK LOBSTERS CRABS NO SHRIMPS
watch out for ryan conwell this year , he’s a shooter fr
Keep sleeping on the wizards the capital of america if they stay healty
Tonight's a championship celebration. Somebody tell the Sixers they're the entertainment.
Knicks suck, they only won because of injuries and had they played OKC? They would’ve definitely lost lol
This is what happens all the time with Miami whenever they get a big star they get slept on and then they make a playoff run
Finally anyone speaks good about Miami FINALLYYYYY
Miami….. KPJ????
6-8 seed. They’re guards and bench need to develop
gonna be a fun year of basketball in South Beach
Normal Powell is trash af in the 2nd half of the season. Historically every year he’s pathetic in the 2nd half. He has no legs or endurance
Go heat
Tomorrow on First take : was the Knicks championship run a fluke!

I have to disagree with u Steven a 😬 I got Philly tonight
So no one is going to talk about his so called hurt leg SPORTS IS A JOKE NOW
Who the hell is that white girl. She fine af
They shoujd get knecht if anything he wont hurt and cab help the spacing off the bench
The heat don’t have a go to scorer
everyone seems very low on the miami heat
Miami will be in the finals. Mark my words 🤫
Giannis will miss 20+ games and they already lack shot creation. On top of this, they dont have the team chemistry built up yet with all of the additions.
Giannis is my pick to win mvp especially if the Heat finish top 3
I always thought the Heat was THE TEAM Bron should have went to for this season. And before JB got traded to Philly, maybe Miami was the pick.
But the thing is Miami has THE EDGE on Philly in terms of defensive protection for Bron. Giannis, Bam, Wiggins, and Mitchell would have provided plenty of defensive protection in the starting lineup.
They also have the edge on Philly in terms of three ball shooting. Wiggins, Mitchell, Conwell, Hardaway, Portis, and the recent addition of Klay shows that. Plus Bron would be playing with a top 3-5 player in the league in his prime in Giannis.
And finally Bron could be the primary facilitator AND be the 2nd-3rd scoring option seamlessly. Embids durability is the key to Phillys success. Which is a huge gamble in itself. Positional versatility wise, the Heat is gonna throw interesting lineups out there as well. That would have been right up Brons alley.
A frontcourt of Bron, Giannis, and Bam would have been the best blend of positional versatility and athletic ability in the frontcourt of all time. And at times you could even put Bron at PG flat out (like the Lakers bubble chip team) too.
How can the Sixers replicate what the Heat did in 2010-2011 season when LeBron is 42 and he was 26?
If Giannis healthy in 67 games, Heat will be top 4 in East…
Delusional if we think Heats roster is comparable to Giannis Bucks championship roster lol
Heat going to the finals this season
Let's go knicks
I don’t believe but agreed Steve a smith heat gonna miss Colin Powell I don’t know wat heat thinking powel is walking bucket way better 3 points shoter location Thompson past 3 years
Do we believe Stephen A. in 2026?
Heat are going to the Finals or I'll delete my channel
Us Heat fans are keeping receipts of all this disrespect.
Basically if Democrats win, then the 76ers get their refs. If Republicans win, then we still get real basketball where LeBron doesn't get to have the refs help
If im jimmy im trying to Holla at pat 😂😂😂😂
Putting $100 on Philly not making the Play-offs
They still need someone who can run the point
Yall forget who Norman Powell was mentoring when he was in Miami pelle Larson is going to win 6th man of the year watch avg 21 and 1.7 stls and 4 to 5 assist and 6 rebounds he’s a an rabid animal
Miami should be fun to watch.
Stephen A looks like he's pulling a second shift on Fantasy Island
