I usually hate the 76ers but, I like their chances this this year after they got Seth curry. Kinda pissed the mavs let him go.
I feel like with their defensive pieces they can at least slow down Harden. Durant will get his regardless.

I like the bucks over the 76ers tho if they somehow get past the nets.
jrue holiday is a stud.


Seth Curry is a nice shooter but the problem is he gets abused defensively. I watched the Bucks switch onto him relentlessly and it was extremely effective. No reason to think the Nets/Bucks won't continue to exploit that weakness

Simmons is the opposite, great defender but goes complete ghost in the 4th quarter half court sets

how can you be confident in the 76ers when even the fucking Wizards could exploit Simmons and his flat out refusal to shoot anywhere on the floor and going 0-9 at the free throw line?

Embiid injury and their 2nd best player can't even be on the floor in crunch time

you need Simmons in at all times against Harden/Durant/Kyrie but the problem is during crunch time he is completely useless in the half court. that will get exposed big time. if the Hawks steal some games that will be the biggest factor



Yeah they exploited simmons big time in game 5 (triple double kek) You fail to realize the psychological factor of losing your top player during the game. Look at the Lakers last night. Look at the sixers game 4 vs game 5.

the Wizards were by far the worst team in the playoffs so good luck using that as a parameter

but thats exactly what you did. You can't have it both ways

Ben averaged:
15 ppg
9 assists
10 rebounds
+81 for the series

This series wasn't even a competition and the Sixers knew it (just like we all did). They won all 4 games by an average of 20 points. Its not like there was any sense of urgency.

538 has the Jazz, Nets, and 76ers as the top 3 odds on favorites to win the 2021 NBA Finals

would you bet on one of those 3 winning or take the field? (Suns, Clippers, Nuggets, Bucks, Mavericks, Hawks)

THE DAWN OF THE WHITE BOY IS HERE

MAVERICKS. CAP IT.

no sense of urgency when your main star has had conditioning issues for his entire career, interesting point of view

embiid was out for 2 games....

i dont even know what you are talking about anymore tbh.

when youre up 20 points in the 4th, every possession is designed to stretch the clock. there is no urgency.

if Embiid isn't at least 85% for this series there is a real chance the Hawks can steal it
