I haven’t checked the numbers…

But I think Steph is actually shockingly bad in those situations.

You got to pick MJ for the last shot.

You had a better ability to get MJ in a one on one situation back then as opposed to now.

But stats support your position

The league has been hoping he gets hurt and leaves the sport for his whole career. It's a disgrace they don't protect him better.

He's greg Oden with better injury luck.

I can't think of a single year this dude didn't get hurt.

It's a shame because he's a beast

It is weird for him to be so forthright with this info this early. If he was really in this bad a spot, I think they’d be holding the info closer to the chest which has me thinking this is about 2 things:
1. Divide and conquer for Celtics prep on what they’re looking at for the series.
2. He’s trying to motivate Embiid.

I don’t know. Just seems weird for him to be saying this immediately after the game.

Hopefully the Hawks can steal one more from the Celtics and give him another week to heal

It's looking like a weekend start at best for that series even if Boston close in 5. Usually they try to start the 2nd round on Friday or Saturday. Friday night not happening as there's likely 4 game 6s being played

I’ve heard Saturday or Sunday.

Was thinking the same thing. Feels like some "gamesmanship" by the Sixers.

I’m glad somebody else is thinking it cause I don’t know if I’m unduly being a Homer looking for a silver lining.
