"Heat" host Philly tonight. Philly hosts the "Heat" tonight. (I was on soccer time.) Second of a back-to-back for "Sixers". Jimmy's gonna be back but...Joel Embiid is taking the night off (back soreness). This is Exhibit 1M+1 why I hate back-to-backs, and the length of the NBA season--it cheapens regular season games, doesn't cheapen the prices fans pay, just the quality of what they're paying to see.
