Dwyane Wade says the Philadelphia 76ers are a “special” team

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is shaping up to be the answer to Philly fans’ prayers, and he shocked parishioners by showing up during the middle of some at a small Roman Catholic church this weekend.

“Just taking time to think, that’s all I’m doing”, said Wade. “That’s what was really needed and we’re capable of it”. “We have a special team and I feel like now we have a pretty good chance to go forward”.

It took four games for Ben Simmons record a triple-double, but he’s averaging 19.3 points, 10.8 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game in the series.

The Sixers have not been impressive just because they’ve won three out of their first four playoff games, it’s have they’ve won such games.

The Sixers are rolling through round one with a group of guys that doesn’t have much experience in this setting. They have been outscored by 42 points in fourth quarters. It’s about us. It’s about these 15 guys going on the road against a team that’s looking to close us out to win their first playoff series. At the end of the day if they blitz me I did my job. “That makes me elevate my game”.

Just one game away from possibly closing out his first-ever NBA Playoffs series win, Sixers larger-than-life big man Joel Embiid found time away from the hardwood shrine to attend a Sunday night church mass in Delaware County.

Furthermore, without protecting the ball and preventing turnovers, the Sixers will continue to run in transition and get easy shots.

“It was annoying”, Embiid said of the mask. “. But it can’t be an excuse”. Embiid had more to say about the Heat and the rest of their series, which resumes Saturday with Game 4. With the Celtics missing their top two players and LeBron James and his Cavaliers down 2-1 in their series against the Pacers, the Sixers’ opening in the East may be as wide as it will be for the foreseeable future. This proved detrimental to the Heat, who are known for their stingy defense, as they couldn’t keep up with the fast pace and quick shooting of the Sixers. We’re going to get back to finding out what it is to try to get better, to get to that point.

In a more general sense, Brown believes his young Sixers aren’t done developing.

What has been so impressive about the Sixers is that they have done so with two players in their second years of National Basketball Association action (Joel Embiid and Dario Saric) and a rookie (Ben Simmons) in the starting lineup. “I look at that as a real exciting opportunity”.

“From that standpoint, I’m confident in the energy and effort we’re going to bring. And we need to”. So as the Sixers prepare for Game 5, here are three reasons why this game should be considered a must-win scenario for Brown’s squad. “This series has been a lot about what we bring up here [in our minds], too, and we got to be better up there”. So there is a lot of stuff that I can do offensively.

Brett Brown predicted this.Brett Brown said on Friday that the already physical Miami Heat would elevate their physicality in Saturday’s Game 4 of the teams’ Eastern Conference quarterfinal matchup.
