Cleveland was decimated by injuries all year and still finished ahead of the 76ers last season. They have a rising star in Mobley. Lots of really good young players that could see a bump as well like Allen, Garland, and Okoro.

Milwaukee didn't have the injury bug as bad, but they did miss a significant amount of games between their top 3 and still finished with a top seed as well

and yes, I'm saying they will finish ahead of Philly and Indy regular season standing

Embiid can play a maximum of 68 games if he is sitting out of all b2bs, we also know he rarely ever plays games at altitude so that's another few games knocked off. then whatever injuries he has to deal with

realistically Embiid plays 60 or less games and PG13 is already dealing with hyperextended knee

Indy is mega overrated


Indiana is not over rated bro all them mans got to the second round last year and are just getting into their Prime years Haliburton still hasn't hit his ceiling and this is Year 2 with SiakHIM.

we expect them to take Boston to 6 in the second round and they will and everyone will be happy about it. Thats not under rated or over rated thats exactly what everyone expects

Indiana is very overrated, they'll be out in the 1st round

I'll put my 10k vs your 10k that Indiana won't advance

No they're not, and if they are (in the regular season) it's ONLY because Embiid and PG will probably miss half the season lol. And even then, they may still not be better than the Sixers 😂

Last season, Embiid only played in 39 regular season games, missing more than half the season. The Sixers still finished with the same record as the Cavs, Pacers, and Magic and only a couple of games behind the Knicks and Bucks for a top 2 seed. And now this Sixers team around Embiid is a lot better equipped to handle his absence.


I might have to agree with him. Give me giannis, dame, and and Middleton over embiid, pg, and maxey. Middleton is washed but the other two are proven. This is taking health into consideration. Pg is trash in the playoffs as well

PG literally posts the same averages in the playoffs as he does in the regular season in recent years....

Dude was fucking unreal in the playoffs a couple of years ago carrying the Clippers when Kawhi was out in the postseason. Gave them a hell of a run.


And now he's a #3 option. The best #3 option in the league, by far.
