Yeah losing embiid was a big blow to the sixers this game though of we can't disregard dwade's efforts. I'm sure hr can keep that kind of play if given a chance and we're about to be treated to a wade/simmons show. It's a classic young gun vs old horse experience match up.

But that's not the thinking prior to that game, others just think of it now because Miami Heat literally spoiled the Sixers momentum. Game 1 result lead others to think that Sixers is strong and can handle the Miami Heat even without Joel Embiid and now the idea was changed.

For Miami Heat, Eric Spoelstra might now be considering removing Wade as 6th man and take the momentum at early phase. It's a good tyming to test it since they will have a homecourt advantage next game. Literally, it's not a good idea since it will destroyed the current phase as Miami Heat is used to play without the isolation play of DWade but since a homecourt advantage is a factor, it can be tests even for few minutes.

DWade delivers when it needed to, that is what real star do.
I will still bet on the heat in game 3, it gives me a good value because the Sixers are still the favorites of the game.
I think Embid will be back and it's gonna be a big challenge for the Heat.

I am sure that the momentum of the series shifted to the Miami Heat with their veteran superstar D-Wade stepping up. But i am also sure that the Sixers will make the necessary defense to limit Wade on the offensive end. Rooting for Sixers here for Game3.

The thing is they are not a defensive team, they rely heavily on outside shooting, the only game changer here is Embid, if he
can play then there is a big chance they can take the lead in the series.
As I notice, whiteside is not performing well, maybe because he is not fully healthy yet?

Whiteside should be a big factor in the series if he's playing well and could even put up against joel embiid when he returns. Experience will be miami's main advantage here since the sixers are led by talented youngsters. And if wade plays like that all series, it's going to be a very interesting first round
