I do think there's a possibility that in the future people could look back on this Sixers team and think the offense was underrated. Like yeah it was only 13th during the regular season but that was dragged down by how much time Embiid missed and the Sixers inability to get another center that is a good offensive fit with Simmons.
Now that Embiid is playing and logging playoff minutes, the offense has been churning points. Against bad defenses of course, but I don't think the Nets have that much better defensive personnel than the Hawks, and the Bucks aren't exactly blowing them out of the water with offense especially in the half court. Sixers aren't a historically great offense like the Nets are when healthy but there's some evidence here that they're better than what people give them credit for.
We'll see, hopefully they get relatively good health luck the rest of the way and get to show what they can do. All you can ask for at this point.
I been really baffled at the stuff the Bucks are doing in offense against the Nets, it's like suddenly they forgot how to play. A lot of it is Giannis too, he's has been taking jumpers the entire series....
If they keep playing like that and the Nets cannot get healthy, i really like our chances
