This gets said every year but I honestly believe this is the year where Sixers finally have a deep playoff run. I think Tyrese Maxey is going to be invaluable as the #2 option on the team and he seems like the kind of guy that would be a playoff riser

I still think they need 1 more player in the mix. In the playoffs teams are still going to double Embiid. Which puts the pressure on Maxey & Harris. Harris has a history of not showing up, and it's hard to expect Maxey to go crazy every game.
And Boston is still a bad matchup for them. Double Embiid, Jrue on Maxey. They can't depend on Harris & Melton to bail them out.
I think they need one more piece in there for when Harris or Maxey have an off scoring night.
Nurse is a great coach, who knew?
Lakers will make the playoffs if they're healthy. They'll probably make a trade at the deadline too I think.
what trade are you prediting?
They were third with him last year
they were tired with Embiid?
i think its just better coaching and maxey getting more touches. They gonna need a half court playmaker in the playoffs though
Basically someone who can create against a set defense.
Lakers were way worse off last year this time and still made the playoffs. They should be okay. Sixers look great but Boston clearly has a mental edge over them that theyll need to break if they ever want to get out of the east.

TBH I dont think 76er will win Boston
We have the number one net rating in the league after the game, and our record is tied for 2nd best in the east, 3rd best in the league. But more-so than our good wins like this one this year, we haven't had any bad losses, which give me more hopes for our playoff hopes than even these wins do.
By this time last year, we had at least 3 ugly disgusting losses to non-playoff teams, some by double digits.
We haven't lost to a bad team at all this year, and the only game we weren't really competitive in was the Minnesota game where we were on a b2b and Embiid was not playing, and even then it wasn't even a 15 point loss there were times in the game we made it close.
Who knew players and teams play better when they aren't watching a guy dribble the ball for 20s and play no defense
Harden a detriment to any team, he thinks he should have the ball 22 seconds each time hes on offense, would be a better player if he just plays off-ball and not worry about stats.
