If they're healthy? Obviously. They're as talented as any in the East.

They have star power, obviously. They have some good depth as well. Hence why Embiid is calling out ownership to not move guys and mess up the roster just to duck the tax. Josh Harris, who also owns the Washington Commanders and NJ Devils, is a cockroach.


Bro lmao, ill admit your belief/ delusion is admirable. Most fan bases dont have ppl like you but Sixers are going literally no where in the playoffs.

Incredible argument. You've changed my mind.

Again, I'll say what the entire NBA community already knows and says. The 76ers at full strength can be scary in the playoffs. On paper they have a championship caliber team. But we all know what has been the biggest "what if" in recent NBA history has been preventing us from seeing that...

The East is relatively weak though. So yes. If they can be somewhat healthy then yes they have as good a chance as almost anyone of making a run. That doesn't mean they're favorites, but nobody wants to see this team full strength early in the playoffs.

West is winning it all though. Nobody in the East can top that conference.

History says otherwise though. I dont really need to make any points, it's the same shit evey year. You can believe or reason all you want lol, but it ain't happening. Sixers are literally the Dallas Cowboys of the nba.

Not a terrible comparison, but it's slightly different when you have the best guard in the East (Maxey) with Embiid playing at near peak form, along with PG playing his role and elite defense, with VJ balling out as a rookie, and a really good cast of role players and firepower off the bench too.

Yeah, saying they won't make much noise in the playoffs is the easy statement. Hence why I said if healthy....

Keeping PG sidelined until very late season might work out for em. He'll be fresh. But his defense will be missed big time until then. Trick now is to have Embiid healthy and fresh come playoffs.

East is kinda wide open. A lot of good to solid teams, but nobody looks great.
