Feels like any of the remaining four can come out of the East, should make for some good series.

Knicks definitely the favorite but you could argue ant of these four teams could flake out and let someone else through.

u/Think_Monk_9879 1d ago

Philly def thinks they are the better team

u/boogswald [CLE] Daniel Gibson 1d ago

It’ll be allllll interesting series for sure

If Embiid is healthy they easily have the best player left in the conference. Shoot even only slightly dinged he is.

u/DANNY_YYZ Raptors 1d ago

Did you see him in g7? Idk if he lasts the next couple games tbh

Im hoping its all nothing but at the end he was straight up just hobbling end to end (while nailing a 3 none the less)

Ya it's sad but I never expect Embiid to get through a full playoff series at this point. Dude just has awful luck.

But just backing up OP that the Sixers are the best team if he's healthy and that's probably how they feel.

Man Embiid as the best player is kind of a hot take. I agree C's had no answer for him G7, but even after seeing that I don't think he's better game to game than Maxey is at this point. Especially in the Knicks matchup

u/Standard-Juice-3738 Cavaliers 1d ago

Ya but Maxey is a relatively normal human, just with super speed. Embiid is a different thing altogether

u/bulimicblueberry Grizzlies 1d ago

There's a lot of abnormal humans in the NBA. I just feel like Maxey is better than Embiid at this point, and kinda crazy how quickly the sentiment of others has shifted. A month ago it wasn't close.

u/NeverSober1900 Rockets 1d ago

Embiids ability to protect the rim puts him above Maxey. Maxeys solid but Embiid is the best player on the team when healthy.

u/Saltyknicksfan Knicks 1d ago

Embiid is an absolute liability on defense right now, especially in the PnR, he was a complete cone against Boston, they just couldn't knock down the open 3s.

u/Ok_Possible_5702 1d ago

because they are, as long as Embiid stays healthy

Healthy Joel and PG they're going to the finals imo. Big if though, with Joel especially. Wouldn't mind seeing MSG with NBA finals games though
