2024 NBA Playoff Capsules (Second Round)

Previewing Wolves/Nuggets, Knicks/Pacers, Thunder/Mavericks and Celtics/Magic.

Joel Embiid carries the weight of expectations differently than others. As his fanbase and national media have constructed stories that have him as the potential messiah in a decade-long process of experimental team-building, coupled with the unusual rabidity of Philadelphia sports fans, he has accepted this role sincerely.

I kind of think Franz's first quarter was the most critical though

Paolo (Superstar type game)
Franz (he opened the game up for us and got it all started, we were super tight in the beginning)
Suggs (rabid 3-D player on display)

I voted PB.
Franz
Suggs

He had 2 points.. Not that he was bad. I am glad he was re-inserted into the starting line up, but he's not going to get any votes for that. Its crazy we blew them out 38 points with 2 of our starters combining for 4 points.

Yeah, the offense was dire until Franz and Suggs drained some shots to get things going. They get the catalyst award for sure.
