Embiid was a difference maker in this game.   

If Philly plays this well going forward, I don't see any way Miami wins this series.

He took over down the stretch, made some impressive shots and imposed himself on defense.

With the shooters they have around him, this is a tough team to eliminate.

What did the Bulls get for Mirotic?
A protected 1st which ends up being the 22nd pick in this draft.  They also took on what's left of Asik's contract.

TP

Should've shipped out Portis but I guess he fits the Bulls long time table better.

Thankfully he's still somewhat inefficient, especially when forced to shoot from outside. Considering we have two big strong guys, I think we can still pip em.

As long as we remain disciplined and Redick/Bellinelli don't go crazy, we have a shot with our empty roster. Smart coming back too will help

Wow the Heat just collapsed in the 4th quarter.

And WOW... are the Blazers actually going to get swept by the Pelicans?? Anthony Davis only has 6 points so far yet NOP is up 15...  :o

I just realized, if the series leads hold, we could have a Pelicans-Warriors 2nd round match up!

Playoff Rondo, Davis, Holiday and Mirotic vs. GSW possibly without Curry for some games?  :o

Davis kills them all the time. If Playoff Rondo shows up, that would be a real fun series.

Playoff Rondo is definitely a wild card!

Playoff Rondo is the epitome of why this guy was such a frustrating player.

He has "it" in him. Just didn't do it consistently all the time. But he definitely could.

OMG the Blazers actually look BAD. This was the 3 seed in the loaded West?? This was the team that had a legit chance against GSW (besides HOU)??
