I would love the 2024 Sixers to go on a run and win the title. I’d be happy if they did.
But I am realistic.
I haven’t made excuses for these bums since they brought Simmons and Jo on board. I don’t just want Jo to “win a title” somewhere like a scorned lover.
1. Embiid can’t handle the physical nature of the playoffs and the lack of whistles. 2. Embiid’s body language when things aren’t going well is horrible. 3. They would have gotten smoked last night if Nic Batum didn’t have his best game of the season. 4. Maxey still is, just a guy. He’s not a difference maker. There’s only a handful of them in the league. 5. Tobias Harris is a bum.
Remember, Embiid earlier in the year was injured playing needless minutes chasing consecutive 30 point games and his 2nd MVP. He’s 7’2” 285. If his knees or feet get injured jumping, that’s what happens. I never want to see that clumsy oaf on the floor again, but every game like a weak bitch he’s knocked around. He got injured vs GSW because he was on the floor and someone fell on him.
You can’t wish for something to be true just because you want it to be, Balls.
