    The 76ers look horrible offensively
    What the heck are they doing?

    I believe so. But I'm also extremely bullish on the Harden-Embiid pairing. Would easily be the best player and fit in terms of sidekicks he's had.

    If you need Harden to beat the Wizards you're not gonna be a contender lol.

    Sixers have too many limited players trying to create...they need Harden to bend the defense

    Philly can’t even run effective PnR with Simmons because he won’t even shoot unless he’s right at the rim

    Embiid looks like he doesnt want to pick and roll that would spell disater for Harden. It'd be like 2015/16 Rockets for them.

    how? harden is best as a PnR player. Is Embiid that good in the PnR? I see the value Harden brings to Embiid's game, but what value does Embiid give harden?

    Dwight actually willing to Roll now
    Seth Curry get hot from time to time
    Teams unable to put 3 people on Embiid

    yes. . . I think they could be contenders with Harden

    Does not seem like ANYONE can make their own shot out there
    and their movement is not enough to free people

    76ers getting their ass hosed by the Wizards lmfao. They would be up by 15 by now if they had Harden.

    Imagine a taller Russell Westbrook and a post-oriented Harden who gets doubled every time he touches the ball because everyone else sucks.

    That's Simmons and Embiid.

    Imagine those two with below average players.

    That's the 76ers.

    I think both the Wizards and Sixers are like 5-8 seed teams anyways. Wizards almost made the playoffs last season and they are better this year.

    This is without Rui Hachimura too who is, for me, one of the better prospects in the NBA, Deni can contribute right away, Russ can actually play (as opposed to Wall who sat out the past two years) and they have some good shooters.

    They are not going to light up the league but they are not a team you want to come in loafing against.

    I don't know who looks worse in this game. Sixers because they are playing horrible or Wizards because Sixers are playing like a High School girls team and they're only up by 7 lol.

    Honestly, I think Wizards are going to be one of the top teams in the EC.

    Westbrook brings energy, Beal brings offensive balance, Bertans is a sniper and Rui/Deni are going to be great future wings. Those two are like a poor man's Tatum and Brown.
