There certainly were more than a "couple people".
I can only assume that you don't use Twitter and didn't see it. Also a lot of talking heads on ESPN were crowning them early....even the respectable ones like Wilbon & Kornheiser.
Minnesota blew it with Butler as well. Apparently he was too much of a hard worker for them.By the way, if you really want to know what went wrong with the Sixers (aside from Embiid's injuries which clearly made things way more difficult), it was choosing Horford and Simmons over Butler a few years ago. Mind numbingly dumb decision that we're still paying for.
Tatum was already great player but he's taken a huge step forward this postseason.
He's going to win an MVP sometime down the road.
