With The Playoffs Around The Corner, How Do We Feel About Our Chances?

  1. Good but cautious. My heart can only take so much after the Phillies and eagles

  2. allstar278

    I’d give us a 25% chance to win the East. 75% goes to Mil/Boston.

  3. Embiid has never been healthy in the playoffs. If he’s 100% along with James harden we have a legit chance. Big if tho

  4. Colonelforbin25

    Still 2nd round Breaks my heart Just being honest

  5. We need to try for the 1 seed. It’ll be very difficult, but it dramatically increases our chances of getting to the conference finals. Getting the 2 seed would also be beneficial as we’d have gone court against the C’s.

    I think the team looks the strongest we have in years… still, not without our flaws, and the top two seeds right now would be really tough in a series.

    but trust the process ![img](emote|t5_2scmr|8121)

    Feeling better than I have in years. I also think Embiid has a good chance for a late season mvp push, but the priority needs to be having him healthy in the playoffs.

    Boston looks to be slumping, hopefully that gets worse and if we end up as the 2/3 seed a Boston matchup is more winnable than it’s seemed all year

    Best team in the Embiid Era 100%. I’m just praying for full health and then I think we got as good as a chance as any team. Embiids never really been fully healthy for a full playoff run and has had some terrible luck between the Simmons debacle and the Kawhi shot, so I’m feeling good!

    In my eyes, if fully healthy, the title goes to either Suns, Bucks, Celtics, Warriors, or Sixers. LFG!

    I think we lose in 6 to Boston or milwuakee in the second round unfortunately

  11. InspectorNS

    I think that barring any injury we can reach the conference finals. Unfortunately depending on who we see in the conf. finals, we could lose. Regardless of how far we go tho, I think the second round curse will end this year!

  12. theytook-r-jobs

    Harden and Embiid healthy. Better playoff wings than before.

    Still have Doc and playoff Harden so refuse to get my hopes up but I’ll take being surprised and wrong.

    They next few weeks will go a long way in determining my feelings. They have some good tests in the last stretch of the regular season, if they continue to play great ball through to the playoffs I feel ass good as I have in Embiids career. This is all provide that Jo can get through the playoffs without a freak hand injury or broken face.

    The best team we’ve had but the league is the best it’s ever been

  15. FilthyMcnasty90210

    Was thinking about this earlier…

    I’ve felt as good as I do now about the sixers in years past and they’ve always lost. This may be the best team in the process Era up with 2019 but I’m gonna try to temper my expectations. Could we win it all? Yes.. Will we? lol

  16. leyendadelflash

    It’s the best team we’ve had since the Jimmy year by a good margin, and with Embiid’s improvement I feel this team overall is better. Unless we get hot we’ll have to go through both Boston and Milwaukee, but I like our chances in both series and would actually favor us against Milwaukee.

    But really we’re going as far as the big fella takes us. That simple

  17. iH8Celtics

    I think us and MIL are the 2 best teams in the league. Boston not far behind and it’s hard to tell what PHX is yet but they could be up there

  18. JokersRWildStudios

    Get at least the 2 seed I feel exponentially better even against Boston

  19. Glenn has improved. The team has always had an energy problem (not enough dawg in’em), and that killed them in the Heat series last season. Reducing PJT/Harris’s minutes in favor of McDaniels, Melton, House, and Reed seems to have remedied that. With those guys in, they’re far more aggressive and do a better job contesting on the perimeter. If that continues, they should breeze through rnd 1 and handle the Cavs should they meet. If Glenn goes back to playing Harris and PJT 36+ MPG, I think they’re doomed.

  20. iwillwinandthrow

    It doesn’t matter. Embiid and Harden need to be healthy, that’s it.

  21. This is their best/most balanced roster of this generation.

    I’m willing to roll with these guys and see what happens.

    They’re not the favorite, but they have a realistic chance.

  22. jocar101

    I’m not getting my hopes up unless we get past the 2nd round, which I continue to believe is a big *if* considering Glenn is at the helm.

  23. ReservoirBaws

    I know it’s just the Wizards, but for Embiid to be able to sit the entire 4th quarter and our backups didn’t blow the lead is huge

  24. I_am_Burt_Macklin

    Best I’ve felt since AI willed the team to the finals. I think we match up well with Milwaukee and as long as we could get over the hump with Boston I can’t see anybody else in the East beating the Sixers at full strength.
