well asking any team to take 2 on the road, especially a young one is a really big ask.

Doc will make some adjustments, but I think Nate is a better strategist.

Sixers would be losing much harder if the refs called all the fouls on them tbh. That Bogdanovic situation is one of the examples, the defender crashes into his back, Bogdan starts falling, and the goddamn crowd is going crazy because there's no travel call instead of shutting the **** up :lol:

GSP wrote:Embiid is one of the most overrated defenders in the league. Hes a good defender but not great. Doesnt have good feet. Poor pick and roll defender, doesnt come out much. Great rim protector and paint defender but thats basically it.

What Embiid fans dont want you to know is the defensive advantage he has over Jokic is much smaller than the offensive gap Jokic has over him.


He's good msotly in the paint and he drops back on every PnR, which tells you all you need to know.
Good assessment:

Anyone who thinks Embiid is in Jokics tier should slap themselves in the face and stop watching basketball

Jokic out here beating a healthy Portland with 2nd year Mpj as his Robin and rolling with Campazzo, Austin Rivers, Jamychael Green, retirement home Millsap and Monte Morris

Embiid got Ben, Tobias, Seth, Danny, George, Maxey, Dwight and getting rekt by Atlanta lol

Bogdanovic is so bad on defense tho. I've seen him 3 times where he's completely blown coverage.

Who the **** cares about Lowry, I don't understand why he's being mentioned in every PO game thread. Yeah, no one traded for him, so what.

you'd think that none of the three offers going through is more of a reflection of the Raptors' FO than those FOs, but I guess Raps fans don't see it that way

like nobody's going around posting "could've had something for Lowry but now you missed the playoffs and might lose him for nothing" every opportunity

If the Sixers flame out of the playoffs again...not having Lowry means more than the team missing the playoffs and losing him for nothing.

And to be honest...we had him for his best years. Can't be mad at that.

I'm pretty sure the offers Masai got are because you got Lowry for his best years, too

The 6ers should just shut Embiid down for the series now. Hawks look like they out talent then by quite a bit.. crazy turn around after 1 off season

I am not disagreeing with you about Jokic but I don't think beating a Portland team that has been knocked out in the 1st round in 4 out of last 5 years is that strong of an argument.
