    Joker will always be better than Embid simply because he's available when it matters most. Embid as your franchise player isn't it. Can't trust him.

    Boston would still be the favorite even if Embid was healthy.

    So we now have confirmation this is not a grade 1 sprain. That means Embiid is doubtful for the entire series IMO. Grade 2 is at least 3 weeks recovery time.

    Philly is done. Harden/Maxey is a solid duo but not anywhere near as good as Tatum/Brown at this point in Harden's career, and Boston has way more depth and home court advantage to boot. I liked them to possibly make the finals with a healthy Embiid, but without him, they have virtually no chance against Boston.

    The idea being that Embiid playing or not playing doesn't matter......? That's a take i suppose
