Lol based on what? A few bad games against Boston? As if he didn't have three straight games of dropping 30+/13+ against them too.

Majority of the time in the playoffs he's shitting on his opponent if he's not having the entire defense trap him like the Nets did. Hard to win like that when the other big name on your team isn't doing anything though (they crushed the Nets because everyone else was left open ofc).

Same shit as every other year under Doc though. No creativity in the offense, no off ball movement. Predictable offense in the playoffs that makes it easy for defenses to just swarm Embiid. That isn't the same with Nick Nurse, he's an entirely different coach.

Who carries? Tell me. Name a player that carries. It's a team game, no one superstar is carrying these days.

We watched the Nuggets win it all last season with Jamal Murray putting on an absolute clinic and one of the best postseason runs in recent memory. As we all know, Jokic never gets outta the 2nd round without him.

These 2 seasons were his "Mvp, NBA SCORING leader" seasons

Among starting units with at least 200 minutes played this season, the Sixers' lineup of Maxey, De'Anthony Melton, Tobias Harris, Nic Batum, and Embiid has the best Net rating (+34.0). The next closest is the Denver Nuggets, who have a net rating of +20.8.

Many factors have led to this success, but fit stands out the most. This five-man unit has done so well for the Sixers because of how they gel on both ends of the floor. Melton, Harris, and Batum are all positive defenders and are capable of spacing the floor. This has opened things up for Embiid and Maxey to attack opposing defenses.

Looking at this year's starting lineup, upgrading at power forward has been huge for the Sixers. Replacing P.J. Tucker with Batum has done wonders on both ends. The veteran forward can still hold his own defensively and is knocking down close to 47% of his threes. Also, his entry passing to Embiid has made him a huge complement to the reigning MVP.
