After Harden left the 76ers, the team’s ranking surprisingly climbed to fourth in the Eastern Conference. The collaboration between Embiid and Maxey has been exemplary. Is Harden a detriment to the team? Do you think the Lakers have a good chance of making the playoffs?
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.
