And now Embiid is out, possibly 2-4 weeks.Philly is nice right now. Young, but not soft...feel good about at least a series win.

Sixers win their 13th in a row, beating the Cavs to take over 3rd place in the East. With JoJo on the bench.
Yea, I really like Mikal Bridges though, guys like Porter, Bamba, Bagley, Young and so forth clearly have a higher ceiling but I wouldn't be shocked at all if Bridges ends up a better pro than all of them. Same could also be said for Carter to a lesser extent, although I definitely like Bridges more.Bulls completely fucked their draft positioning.
I know what happened, my point is that there is nothing about a top 5 pick that means a second star is "in the bag". Obviously your chances are much higher picking at 3 vs. 7, and obviously you'd rather pick at 3 than 7, but my point is that there isn't anything about a top 3 or 5 pick that guarantees anything, especially if you look at recent draft history.I don't hate Bridges and Carter but they are role players and not future top-10 or top-20 players in the league. They are your Luol Dengs or Joaqim Noahs at best.
The Bulls need a second star to put next to Markkenen and they had it in the bag if they hadn't had useless win after useless win this season, even after trading away Mirotic.
They just last week had like a three game win streak, beating Orlando, Washington, and Charlotte. If they hadn't won all those games, they are tied for 3rd right now.
Even if they had beaten just Orlando, they are tied for 5th.
Instead, they are tied for 7th and they MUST lose out the rest of the way to keep 7th. And they only have the most remote chance to maybe tie for 6th if Sacramento can pull out a win.
We are talking about the difference between Doncic or Bagley versus Wendell Carter or Bridges. We are talking about potential future all-stars next to Markkenen versus just solid journeymen starters maybe.
What a waste.
Looking forward to Rockets/Warriors in the WCF.I guess I'm the only Rockets fan on the board now.
Amazing regular season. Just amazing. I'm still nervous going forward.....

It's been a long time since I've been this excited about the 76ers.
Yep. Especially considering they've continued the second half of this winning streak without Embiid. Amazing.It's been a long time since I've been this excited about the 76ers.
Toronto is a regular season team, I doubt their matchup vs. Cleveland will look any different than it has in years past unless the Cavs suffer some sort of injuries.I'm hoping Toronto finally get over their postseason mental block. They are the only team in the East who have a legit shot at beating Lebron, IMO.
