If the tables were turned and Mil play vs a short handed Bos. Who wins 2024 playoffs?

[Mask the Embiid]

If the Bucks played vs Boston last year and boston was shorthanded (no Porzingis) Would boston still be world champs?

Embiid still wouldn't have made it past the 2nd round.

Celtics won the East without Porzingis last season so OP makes no sense as usual.

It must be hard being a Sixers fan these days. I empathize. No hard feelings, no matter how many bitter, stupid topics you feel compelled to upchuck. Instead, I present you a peace offering, in the form of good news:

Ben Simmons wants to come back to Philly. (https://www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/ben-simmons-said-if-he-was-to-be-traded-he-would-want-to-return-to-philadelphia)

You may savor that with my blessing. Happy days will be back soon. And he probably won't cost 30 mil per this time. The thought of facing Embiid, George and Simmons on the same Front court has me worried. On paper, in 2018, that would blow out the Celtics. I think we're going to have to call that a superteam. In fact, Philly already is a superteam. Between that and Darvin Ham's IST dominance its all over for the Cs. Oh well.

I Forgot Giannis didn’t play in the playoffs last year. And Dame missed a couple games of that series on top of it. Those two. Jimmy Butler. Donovan Mitchell. Randle with Brunson breaking his hand at the end. Embiid on his usual bullshit. Halliburton going down. Kawhi missing the playoffs after actually playing most of the season. Zion doing the same after playing 70 games.

I don’t think a postseason has ever done more to damage my fanhood than that run of bullshit. I don’t know what there is to be done about it. Not like it’s load management in the playoffs.

You can’t have seven or eight series with All-Stars not playing Making the entire exercise a chore to get through.

It’s because players are moving around the court far more than they used to imo. With the pace and space and 3pt style in affect, players are running all over the court way more than they used, hence more injuries.
