It's a common fact that role players don't perform well on the road.

I've never seen so many Lambo SUVs on the street than I have in the past year or so, people must really like this ride

no wonder he was out for blood in this game, he channeled his whole Cousins vs the world type of attitude

after taking some time to watch the replay of this one, Sixers are basically toast if Embiid isn't averaging 40+ in this series. Once the ball touches Maxey's hands, 8 out of 10 times or maybe 9 out of 10 times that shot is going up. If that is the best help the Sixers can give Embiid, then he may as well request a trade after the Knicks eliminate his team in the first round.
God I wanted Dame to have a good life in MIL but ever since Doc came in I've been laughing hysterically at turning the second best team in the NBA into a .500 squad.

Hali putting the team on his back even when his 3 wasn’t going down. 16 assists and the game winning shot. That dude is a leader
I was pretty sure post-Process Sixers are a lock to be eliminated in Rd 2, so this would be a first for him? If they got knocked out in Rd 1 it was in the bubble year and that doesn't count.

I stand corrected!! I could have sworn I read that he's never made it to round 2, but I guess my brain is playing tricks on me again!
The wild thing to me is pre-Process the Sixers were a perennial first or second round exit (made second round the year before). They voluntarily got rid of all NBA worthy talent and went into five straight years of lottery, and have the same results to show for it. I'm sure they are infinitely more watchable but as we've seen after only one wonderful season in Sacramento, expectations are through the charts - and Philly "booed Santa Claus" so yeah. Imagine doing what they did and that being the end product? (and it appears we may truly be seeing the end product now).
Presti is perhaps the real "process" genius since he appears to have completed a second one successfully, but that's a young team with a lot to prove and it remains to be seen how far SGA's whistle will go in the playoffs.
Downgraded from mid when coached by Doc Rivers.
