Again, spot-on for capturing my Sixers fan experience for the whole Embiid era… you hinted at Spike’s article but after Friday night, and the starting center getting dunked on 4 times and only getting 5 rebounds in 30+ minutes, I just want to move on… like I’m not sold that trading Jo lowers our ceiling, especially if your article is correct and the ceiling is lower than we thought anyway… at least it would lower expectations and we could enjoy a young Maxey and VJ-led team…
The trappings of being 'grateful for an excuse' are tough to avoid. Great job calling out that those excuses for the moment are gone. It's go time. Time for this team to remember how it used to throw its best punches, compare it to the punches they've been throwing, synthesize them and hopefully come up with their strongest, most battle ready game ready to make a real run.
