Oh, absolutley. Bucks were a great matchup for them and they weren't at the level they are now (didn't have Jrue Holigod either), and the Warriors without KD and then losing Klay too?

Raptors with Kawhi during that run were easily the toughest opponent of the playoffs, obviously. And they went down to the wire of game 7 (on the road) against them.



tl;dr from this thread: Embiid is a generational big man, and tanking for a few years to get him was absolutely worth it lol.



Corey might disagree with you on the bucks

Corey will always disagree, but facts are facts. Bucks only went 6 games against the Raptors, despite having the #1 seed and home court advantage.

They were a good team, but more regular season. The moves they made after the fact, primarily replacing Bledsoe with Jrue Holiday, really tipped them over the edge that they were already close to.

He would be hiding too if the KD had a smaller foot and Budenholzer would’ve been fired too last year.

Sometimes teams gets that little breaks that changes every narrative. Raptors and masai got paid off for their risk taking and Lowrys narrative completely flipped.

Embiid just hasn’t gotten his being stuck with Bum Simmons, breaking his face on Markell’s Fultz shoulder, and Elton brand.

Now he’s stuck with Doc Rivers.

He deserves 3 mvp for just having to deal with all of those bums, that is a feat by itself.

That’s a good question, he probably will be if the 76ers don’t make the ecf

I’d like him fired tomorrow

Another poor playoff finish and he should be gone
