For me it’s Derrick Rose’s career if he hadn’t been injured. The youngest mvp in history with some of the most electric basketball we’ve ever seen, it feels a little like robbery to have not been able to see that unfold.

Mine is more selfish: what if Kwahi’s shot takes three bounces instead of four and the Sixers make it to the ECF? If we assume the same outcome for Golden State - everyone gets hurt and they have no chance - there’s a really good chance the entire narrative around Embiid and the Sixers is totally different. It’s incredible how much that bounce impacted.

in this reality are we just assuming the Sixers beat the Bucks

Yeah I think they were better than the Bucks. Substantially, in fact. Winning the game in OT was probably more of a question mark.
