Amazing how some people on here were ready to anoint the Sixers as the best team in the east a couple nights ago...

I will say in some people’s defense, when embiid is going he looks like Shaw. And even if Simmons is most overrated in league, butler is all star player and reddick and Harris are solid players. That could be a very good team when embiid plays like Shaq. Unfortunately embiid is really out of shape, injury prone and, according to their local reporters has awful diet. He may be capable of being like Shaq if he can get serious about fitness and diet. Otherwise he will be a big disappointment because he has so much talent
He's 25 years old. It really should be time for him to take it seriously soon.
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Yea nba players always say your career goes quicker than you think. But I think it harder in practice to become overnight celebrity traveling Cory to city

Embiid with more turnovers than rebounds. So beautiful

So satisfying seeing Philly lose by 30+ well played Toronto well played.

Yeah, Philly seem to be collapsing in this series in a similar manner to us.

Nah Celtics just cant make open shots, Philly sucks really bad the plays they draw Butler should leave asap... Nice try Clippers sending Harris to Philly to try and boost them so Kawhi leaves Toronto. Their plan didn't work lol.

Outside of the C’s, I’ve been calling Toronto to make it all the way to the Finals against GSW. If we get eliminated (which looks more likely by the day), I’ll be rooting for Toronto temporarily.

Toronto winning it all means Kawhi will stay in the east.

Well, if we do get eliminated by Milwaukee, one piece of consolation I can think of is not having to face Toronto in the ECF.

I think that team would've killed us. That's why I was rooting for Philly to beat Toronto but it looks like Philly really blew it by losing game 4.

If the Celts do get eliminated, I am rooting for Portland all the way. Damian Lillard is becoming one of my favorite non-Cs players and really taking the league by storm. If Nurkic didn't get injured, I would've said they would eliminate Denver and have a really good chance of eliminating GSW or Houston.

I want Lillard and the Blazers to win it all. They are the most likable team and fanbase among the remaining teams. Lillard is really a humble guy and live a simple lifestyle.

But they need to get past through Nuggets first.

And to think they were stuck in an elevator at Emerson College a few months ago.

I wish someone on our team knows how to roll to the rim while Kyrie is getting doubled.
