0 2nd rd series wins

Embiid lost with the pressure on him for the IST game this season against the Cavaliers. It was a must win game to keep them alive for the IST. He shot 9/21. He had 6 turnovers, missed the game winner and fouled out.

I’m not picking on him for this game. But it’s the scenario that plays out with him in the playoffs. And since he’s so much better this season, he didn’t show it in a playoff type scenario. Embiid is right behind Dwight Howard in terms of playoff production all-time. Guess it’s hard to flop and duck people in the playoffs.

Why are you the Skip Bayless of d2jsp?

One week they're the team to beat, the next week Embiid is a choker.

Maxey is in legitimate contention for best guard in the East, so if Embiid can't get it done once again he is just solidifying the fact that he is indeed a choker.

Let's see how Maxey performs in the playoffs first, yeah? I mean he has been pretty good in his first few playoff runs, but now he's the guy so we want to see him carry the regular season production into the playoffs.

If Embiid tries to throw Maxey under the bus... LORD. He has an elite coach and an elite young guard next to him, there are no more excuses for the big baby. If the 76ers don't advance past the 2nd round it will rest squarely on Embiid's shoulders.

Not even the best Tyrese in the East, let alone guard.

Lillard, Hali, Maxey, and Mitchell are the top guards in the East. To have any one of them should be enough for an MVP caliber player

Man...coming into this season there were no expectations like that. Now it's advance past the second or bust?

They haven't even made their move yet. Morey isn't done, this roster will get even better. I am enjoying the depth though. Adding Batum, Covington, and Marcus Morris in the Harden deal has turned out to be better than expected. They're all contributing and giving them much needed wing depth, especially defensively with Batum and RoCo.

I'm just patiently waiting to see what is next. Then again, if they keep playing this well maybe they just wait until the off-season to make their move with all of the available cap space they have.

Lol ok Embiid missing the Conference Finals yet again is totally fine at 30 years old
