Embiid was playing hurt. It's amazing that Philly even got to game 7, given that Harden is still out of shape and Harris is mostly toast.

Dont compare prime Harden to Embiid. I'd pick that Harden over this fraud every day of the week.

It's truly unbelievable he's somehow equating him being a chickensh*t in crunch time (and really any time he's asked to shoot) against a far inferior team to the Sixers losing this game. While I get that yes Embiid now has his own history of shrivelling up like he was in an ice bath.

It simply does not change why he his unevolving and actually regressing ass got ran out of town. It won't be long until he's pushed out of BKN and then what?!?

I’d take Embiid. At least then there’s the chance that maybe one season in like 2027, he’ll make it through a whole playoffs completely healthy and show you another side. Harden’s 100% stone cold guaranteed lock to choke from Game 6 on.

I'd venture to guess Embiid isn't going to be more physically durable in 2027 when he's 34 years old.

Put Harden in the east with that rockets team and they make the finals multiple times. The only thing in the way of that Rockets team was a historically great Rockets team.

Embiid has done **** all in the post season other than get locked down by players past their prime. Thats his legacy. The child of Horford and Gasol.

But you know...Regular season next year he'll go on a tear and people will call him Hakeem 2.0 again.

They'll invent titanium legs so he'll be alright.

As for the character i dont think they'll have prosthetic for that.

Boston should win in 5 but it will probably go 7.

You can’t play with this heat team . They’ve defied odds already. Boston better awake or they will get bubbled bad


Give it a rest. Philly would have likely given any of the conference finalists a run for their money just like they did the Celtics.
