What does it matter if you get out of the second round only to lose to the ECF's?
76ers got the Celtics in the 2nd round last season. If they had gotten any other opponent, they'd advance. Celtics were their cryptonite (and still took em 7 games). Would that mean they were successful, if they still lost to the Celtics in the following round??? It all depends on 2nd round matchup really.
Gotta make the Conference finals to be motivated to reach NBA finals where anything can happen and winning it means Immortality a Ring being Champion final team standing among 30 other teams.
Lakers last season came up short, got swept by Nuggets all 4 conference final games are 5 points or less winnable games! If and a Big IF Lakers got past Denver, lebron/AD 100% will beat Jimmy and the Heats there’s not even Herro there.
Embidd gotta win 2 more MVPs which is doable, otherwise he has to win a Championship to cement himself as top 5 Centers of all time.
Right now he is solid on top 10. Embidd need to drop 40 point per game n drag the team to finals like 2018 Lebron did.
