Rody, to clarify, I quit posting on Celticsblog a while ago. Back in the day I had been the lone Celtic fan who thought Philly had a bright future and that Embiid would eventually get healthy.
People here were convinced he was the next Greg Oden. I took a ton of heat for playing devil's advocate and believing in Philly.

I decided to hold my ground on Sixer island and it finally paid off this year when they had only their second 50+ win season in the past 30+ years. Given that I had been CelticsBlog's Sixer foil for a couple years, it was only fitting that I be a part of the first (of probably many) Celtic vs Sixer playoff series. Boston pulled it off. People had a laugh at my expense. I plan to crawl back in my hole in a couple weeks.

He is a great talent but let's things come to him and isn't exactly assertive on the court. He is also playing out of position
Come on, you have to stay until after Free Agency!
