funny they got austin rivers to talk about the sixers when maybe the biggest difference between this sixers teams and previous ones is the way nick nurse has been making in game adjustments which Doc rivers often failed to do

@ytalchemy 13 дней назад

Perk was the only one to see that Brunson was a special, Type A player long before anyone else in sportscasting. Perk knew what Brunson brought to the table because he is a true analyst of basketball. He studies players. He also remembers, acutely and precisely, what made players great versus good versus bad when he was an NBA player. Now, Perk is warning people that Joel Embiid almost buckled twice yesterday when the76ers played the Heat.

Brunson hasn’t gotten any true MVP love because sports media refuses to admit how good he’s become, Not to mention all the candidates have had their All Star caliber teammates healthy the whole year but Brunson was able to keep his team afloat without Randle. Embiid has never been a better playoff performer than Brunson so I expect all these guys picking Philly to look stupid these next 2 weeks.

My comment to this video is this. Even if Joel sat out the rest of the season who is to say he wouldn’t just get hurt again next year? He always gets hurt. So it’s better to have him at 70% than none at all… nurse should just play him 6 mins a quarter and in the 4th quarter 9 mins.

@chimaebinama3192 12 дней назад

Embiid is just gonna have to ball out and beat these guys. Perk is trippin a bit. If Embiid didn't come back, the Sixers would have missed out on this potential path to the ECF. Potentially that e could face the Knicks and then Pacers or struggling Bucks. That's way better than starting with Boston or having to have Boston in the second round. Embiid gets hurt every year, so sitting him out this season wouldn't guarantee anything for next season, it would have just wasted this season

It’s the end of the season, I promise you Embid isn’t the only player banged up. But for some reason he always performs at a much lower level compared to the regular season. It’s not always health man, he simply isn’t a guy who elevates his game when it matters most. Foul merchant
