  1. The Sixers best bet is trying to get the number 1 seed, to try to avoid Boston. They’ll play the cavs then in the second round and the bucks can probably beat the Celtics. Although tk achieve this the bucks would have to lose at least 2-3 games and the Sixers would basically have to lose none until the end of the regular season which is highly unlikely.

  2. Philadelphia won't make the conference final as usual. Embiid can just boost during the regular season for the mvp race and disappear during the playoff.

  3. Also people forget the last two matchups against Boston maxey was off the bench. I think him in the startinb line up will help. I do agree with perk abo it embiid getting into foul trouble against Lopez. That is going to become a huge issue and PJ tucker is really undersized against Lopez.

  4. First these guys clearly don't watch the games, especially after hearing Perks statements, but it's understandable, considering they have to cover the entire league. But Stephen A. has it right. The Bucks should be favored in my opinion against the Celtics and Sixers. But as a Sixers fan that watches every game, from a matchup standpoint, the Bucks are a better matchup for Philly. The Sixers thus far have not shown they can beat Boston yet, and the Celtics have 2 wings that get buckets and play good defense is a problem for us. But one thing is for sure, in a 7 game series we can definitely beat the Celtics and Bucks, it would be a fun series for sure. I'm looking forward to the next two games against the Bucks and Celtics.

  5. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nobody cares about No damn 8 game winning Streak🤣🤣..Bucks just got done with a 16 game win streak…omg..the irritating $hit that comes outta y'all Mouths…

  6. Every now and then Perk actually makes some decent points and I actually agree with his initial response to the question

  7. As a Sixers fan, the Celtics scare me more. We match up better with the Bucks than the Celtics. Boston always seems to shoot 50+% from 3 with their damn backups. Boston has no answer for Embiid as Williams is too small and Horford is 70 but our other big players gotta step up vs Boston. Maxey, Harden, Milton and Niang need to hit their shots. I truly feel the Sixers are the best team in the league currently but they gotta figure out how to beat Boston in their next matchup or it’ll be in their heads come playoff time.

  8. How can you say “I have concerns for aging Al Horford” and in the same breath say “although he’s been playing great this season”. What is the concern then?

  9. Right now Philly can beat either of these teams ,If Joel plays like hes playing now in the playoffs they can win ,Maxey, Harden, and Tobias need to step it up as well.

  10. Can't believe they didn't bring up Harden until the end of the clip. His play is why 76ers are so good, but is also going to be the X factor in a 7 game series against Boston's or Buck's physical perimeter defenders.

  11. Perkins better hope the sixers make a push. He's pushing an MVP on a guy that hasn't done ANYTHING in the playoffs his entire career.

  12. Playoffs is about matchups. Sixers matchup great vs Milwaukee and Cleveland. Their worst matchup is Boston and that’s why they need home court against Boston, more than they would need it against the Bucks.

  13. I want the Sixers to face the Hawks/ Heat/ Raptors for revenge for eliminating us in the past, in the 2nd round the Celtics to erase doubt that we cant beat them then the Bucks to eliminate the so called "best player in the league" then the Nuggets to settle that Jokic "best center debate" once and for all in the grandest stage of all. And the championship will be more meaningful and impactful. Season MVP Finals MVP and championship will put Joel Embiid as the best player in the NBA.

  14. Bucks and celtics are too strong unfortunately. If we can win the conference finals, we win the NBA finals

  15. I don't care who you try to throw at Giannis..Embiid,Tatum or whoever, nobody stopping the Freak.
    BUCKS IN 6!!

  16. In 1983, these same 3 teams were the class of the Eastern Conference. 40 years later, the more things change, the more things stay the same.

  17. Perk only says MIL bc Giannis 4th cousin on his moms side, is a darker black then Perk.. 😂😂.. its a joke ppl, laugh… if u cant take a joke, eat a dddiiicckkk

  18. Unrelated but imma tell you why I can call racism on the nba and the media if they give jokic the MVP because when Gianis won his second mvp he was also the mvp the third season and they didnt give it to him because he didnt win the chip. And they wanted others to win it so now here's jokic with the same circumstance and i hear it was a clear favorite to win his 3rd straight MVP without a championship at all. And he has a squad let's not act like he dont.
