They didn't play Vuc yesterday. At all. Because Embiid cooked him so badly he had to be benched lmao

And who's the "real big"? Queta had a GREAT season. Unfair to get mad at him because Embiid is an all-time great and one of the most dominant scorers in the history of the league.

Seriously, who's the real big? Robinson and KAT are about to get that smoke from Embiid AGAIN just like the last playoff series when Embiid averaged 33 a game vs em with one knee and Bell's Palsy. Difference is now he has a better team 😏


bro got so frustrated he had to intentionally injure Robinson. wonder if he can even play 4 games this series as he was limping around in game 7

Thats the same game (3) where Embiid dropped 50 points, yeah? And had 34 game 2, and 29 in game 1?

Frustrated by who? Robinson is BBQ chicken. And we already know KAT doesn't stand a chance in hell defending him.


But yeah only thing that'll stop Embiid is....Embiid. injuries.

Probably frustrated with Tobias Harris who averaged 9.0 PPG in that series playing 36 minutes per game. On 43% FG / 33% 3PT. Not to mention a ZERO point performance in the very close game 6 elimination game.

Now we've got PG doing things like this in a series vs Boston shooting 50% FG and 55% 3PT in the series over 17 PPG. While locking down on defense 🗜

Boston shot under 30% from 3 in all 4 losses. They also insisted on bricking more 3s despite that. Also starting Garza and Harper Jr seems pretty brain dead but hey the HC deserves a lot of credit for dragging this team to a 2 seed

The Knicks are deeper and I suspect they’ll put Embiid in the PnR nonstop to test that limping

76ers also adjusted defensively and stopped giving up as many wide open threes. Look at how many more contested threes they had to take in those later games.

And most importantly, they adjusted their rebounding and fixed that issue.

But MOST MOST importantly? Embiid came back and Bona stopped getting time 😬

Also, I think you just have to admit the fact that while the Sixers always had injuries and played together very infrequently, they always had that potential to be an elite team if everything aligned. PG being suspended was a blessing allowing him to rest before the playoffs (he has looked outstanding since), Embiid coming back looking relatively healthy considering and still dominating, and everyone else available. It was always "what if"

Is it all that surprising when things FINALLY aligned? Maxey, Edgecomb, Oubre, PG, Embiid as your starters with Grimes, Drummond, Edwards and Barlow off the bench. That can win the east IF everyone is available and healthy which is a huuuuuge question. This isn't your typical 7 seed when everyone is available which we are very lucky they have been.

OKC is the clear favorite to win it all.

The same bums that played a role in winning 56 games this season and securing the 2-seed?
