Not sure if Philly or Phoenix is having a worse season, Phoenix has no excuses like Embiid not being healthy at all this season.
Phoenix is 2-8 in their last 10.

Both teams are why I think it's ridiculous to say players like Lavine are just bad players because they couldn't carry Chicago to the playoffs. Kevin Durant isn't going to either, and he's 1st ballot HOF and top 15 all-time.

I was thinking this yesterday! We're ahead of teams that have
Embid, George, Maxey
Scottie Barnes, Quickley, RJ Barrett
Lamelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges
DeAngelo Russell, Cam Thomas, Cam Johnson, Nic Claxton
Pelicans had Dejaunte Murray, Zion Williamson, Herb Jones, and Brandon Ingram.
Jazz Collin Sexton, Markannen, Walker Kessler, John Collins
Spurs have 1 more win than us with Wembanyama, CP3, Devin Vassell, Stephen Castle, and Keldon Johnson, plus Harrison Barnes.

And people are talking about fire Billy and AK, lol.

Our three of Giddey, Lavine, and Vucevic, who apparently all suck at defense, contribute nothing to winning, and outside of Zach, terrible shooters and athletes, have led us to more wins. Bulls go 1-7 after losing Lavine. Not trying to hear about other team injuries with Ball on a minute restriction all year and Pat Williams missing games.

Philly still has Tyrese Maxey and Paul George, with Andre Drummond as Embid's injury replacement. Both of those guys are considered better than the top Bulls player.

I remember before the draft you were praising his game. I know he had some off court issues, but I'm surprised that he didn't get picked earlier than he did. Couldn't Denver or Milwaukee use him?
