Now Nick needs to prove he can help that MVP overachieve when it counts and not lose to Doc Rivers again in the first round

Against the schedule the Sixers played, with the players they had available? Unlikely.

It's not about guys missing games here and there. Embiid and Melton have barely played. Maxey's missed 10 games during that time. It's a miracle they've won as many games as they have.

Don't forget we were without Maxey for a part too, Tobias too some games, and we played a tough stretch, ...
Our starting line-up mostly has 3 minimum contracts on it ... and the bench, well. Think Nurse is a good coach, he just doesn't do miracles.
