Lets be honest if they couldnt get out of the 2nd round with a prime ben simmons and a prime Harden who else is out there. They still have to get through the juggernauts of the east in the celtics and bucks. And playoff heat are no joke. Theres no one out there that can get them over the hump

Prime James Harden? That's being generous.

Keep in mind the 76ers were minutes away from beating Boston in game 6 and going to the ECF.

They've also never faced the Bucks in the playoffs. The Bucks who have no perimeter defense to defend something like a combo of Maxey & LaVine. It's within the realm of possibility that they can beat MIL in the 2nd round, if we finally get to see that matchup.

And keep in mind that Embiid has had major injuries the last three postseasons. If he finally gets one healthy run it's a mistake to dismiss what a healthy Embiid could do combined with 2 other stars.
