Spoelstra showed the world he can't adjust the last 3 games

Philly would sweep them

How are you going to build a contender around a very ball dominant 30 point a game scorer who shoots 40%?

As a first or second option, that is really hard.

The 6ers did it in a different era with a bunch of gritty defenders who didn’t need the ball. That wouldn’t work today.
And I get what you're saying, coach. And you're right about me thinking back to a different era. But as has been documented frequently around here, Kyrie is an acute headcase. Kinda factored into my thinking lol...

Thought the Sixers were going to blow that one for sure.
Yeah they looked in control then the Clippers fought back. Two really good teams easily could be Finals matchup

so basically spoelstra is ok with having point and shooting guards the best bigs in basketball.

Guy is in so much denial for using a terrible defensive scheme. Being stubborn going to lead to them either not making the playoffs or getting completely embarrassed in round 1

Way to go!!!!!

Embiid just led the Sixers to wins over the Nets and Clippers. He was dominant in both games

you dont have to like it- but at this point the truth is obvious


Joel Embiid is the MVP
Just noticed Kawhi didn't play tonight and Sixers barely won

Does last year even count? He barely even played.

He came up with more excuses to not play basketball than Justise Winslow. lol

He played enough games to prove he could score efficiently.

Did he make the team better? That is a different question.

I don’t want Kyrie as my team’s leader. But I don’t want AI either. As a complimentary player, give me Kyrie all day.

Totally agree.

I just don’t think AI was a team player either.

A lot of his quirks are glorified today because people like him. But he had his fair share of warts, just like Kyrie.

We are just a lot more aware of Kyrie’s flaws because he is playing right now and in the world of social media.

Iverson played at a time when you had monsters in the paint..

Today , court is wide open.

Not a fair comparison .

Like Brady vs Montana , most felt Montana was the better of the 2, sentiment has now changed too Brady, because of the times.

Brady going to TB and winning it all was the clincher for me

Joel Embiid is the MVP

He's been the best player in the league year but the 18 missed games is going to be tough to overcome. If they win the next 4 games(Warriors, Sun, @Buck, @Bucks) then there might be some momentum for it.

But Jokic has been great this year. Offensively a tremendous season. Defensively, he's not great. And defense is a big part of being a center. But I think he is still the favorite to win it.

Patrick Patterson out of nowhere had the game of his life. Was really upset at the Sixers 3rd quarter.

And I really hope it goes to someone else so he comes into the playoffs on a mission.
