Tobias Harris took a bit of a fall on that lady foul, but he’s up and he looks to be ok. That could’ve been way worse. #Sixers – 7:38 PM

Erik Spoelstra had some really interesting things to say when we asked yesterday about Ruth Riley Hunter, and what she’s brought to the Heat thinktank this year — pointing out that she knew the culture from her Sol days. Excellent move by the Heat expanding her role. – 7:38 PM

Call me crazy if you want, but I think Philadelphia wins tonight. Doc Rivers-led teams always have a tendency of winning games they probably shouldn’t. Go back to the 2019 playoffs with the Clippers against the Warriors. #Sixers – 4:47 PM

“It’s not a desirable job. Nobody wants to guard anybody. But from a competitive standpoint, I love the way I came into league and I made myself in the league being that. It’s like, ‘Nobody wants to guard him. I got him,’” PJ Tucker to @andscape on defense bit.ly/3vRxp6p – 3:49 PM

Philadelphia knows they don’t have the type of depth that the Heat have, but they’re also confident in their guys as they move forward #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/2022/05/04/six… via @SixersWire – 3:44 PM
