A healthy Robert Williams makes such a huge difference in the interior game. Watch the impact he has in the next round vs Miami and then whatever big man comes out of the west, be it A, Davis, or Jokic.

Tatum went from ICE cold in game 6 to red hot in the g6 fourth quarter, and then came out and did this in g7 with a rookie head coach. They might actually win the title this season

Honestly this tough for Embiid. Imagine seeing your team steal home court advantage without you, then you go on to return and get blown out. Then have the night of your mvp party spoiled in game 3 on home court, then after taking the next 2 games with momentum all on your side, the guy who arguably should’ve won MVP to start the season goes on a slump only for y’all to get outscored by him alone in the 4th after his worst playoff performance ever to steal the game you should have won. And to top it all of, he drops the single greatest game 7 elimination playoff performance of all time on you while your getting blown out and locked up the entire game. Tough but they were given all chances to succeed and they couldn’t take it.

Such clowns. Celebrating narrowly winning a GAME 7 against an equally good-at-basketball team. Every time a series goes to 7, the winner ought to either be disqualified from taking the championship (they hardly ever do), or the series ought to be extended until the better team is known (and wins).

Jokic is once again the real MVP. What a joke “MVP” is. Instead of voting on “MVP”, why not MEASURE value, and declare the most valuable player the MVP?

This game was soo poetic. Embiid gets cooked in pick and roll, and JT and JB combined for 76 points. 10 years of “Trust The Process” and all it got you was an MVP and a bunch of 2nd round exits smh
