We can see what you're doing. Gassing up the expectations while also knocking them down, so it's a lose/lose situation for Embiid either way.


How is it a losing situation if Embiid leads the 76ers past the 2nd round? I wouldn't have anything negative to say. Nurse was a good coaching hire, Oubre was a good FO move, if Embiid so happens to be the beneficiary of circumstances such as these that improve the team... then great for him.

I think what's really going on here is a win/win situation for yourself. If Embiid leads the 76ers to Conference Finals+ then you'll get to gloat while simultaneously cushioning the sting of failure by setting up justifications if they lose early again.

Bit of a cat and mouse argument this one

You’re both trying to set the scene for a told you so type of arrangement

I'm just waiting for Embiid to have a guard who plays at an elite level throughout the entire playoffs...

I guess Butler, like what...5 years ago, for half a season?

Until then I don't want to hear it. Jokic gets just as far as Embiid (2nd round) without a Murray.

The usual B)

Wonder if they’ll put Oubre back into the starting lineup after he ramps up a bit, though I like what we have going with Batum. Roco’s minutes are starting to diminish but maybe Nurse is just trying other things out

Embiid rested the entire 4th quarter tonight because of a blowout win. 34 pts in 3 quarters.

6th time this season that he has sat out the 4th lol.
