Old guy picks 76ers.

If Embiid is healthy for the playoffs (and other Sixers are, too, obviously), this team will be a problem for the rest of the East.

Tough offseason for Brad Stevens. Maybe Hugo Gonzalez locks down LeBron.

Embiid hurts them. Maxey and Edgecomb would get out and run, and then Embiid would play and he'd go from FT line to FT line, catch it at the elbow, jab for 20 seconds, shoot a mid range shot while flopping to the floor. Works in the regular season, stops working come Playoff time.

LeBron will work seamlessly with Macey and Edgecomb- embiid never will.

Lebron made a good decision going to the Eastern Conference but it will end with a thud imo.

Hmmm. Maybe. But in the three straight wins to close out the series against the Celtics, Embiid averaged 28.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 7.4 assists, and he was obviously not even healthy.

Yes, that Caleb Love signing was bigger than people other than you give credit.

No, LeBron is the GOAT.

[MuggsyB]

Stop disparaging the 🐐 population.  The whole GOAT stuff in all sports is conplete fking nonsense.  Let's see how a human mountain climber would do vs an Ibex going up or down mountain cliffs.  Ibexes are superheros, tremendous athletes.

Beats dealing with morons who think Jordan is better

Wasting time on that is for the Birds.  Eventually you Wilt from trying to Russell up the next argument.  There is no Magic answer.

Korma is a solid curry preparation but this has nothing to do with the greatness of Ibexes.  They are able to navigate/scale vertical dams.  Have some freaking respect.  Humans would be flying on the route to darkness very, very, quickly if they were in the same situation.  Our hubris, and lack of appreciation of prime-time animal kingdom members, continues to stain our species and overall character.

When I read Scoop, I read from the bottom up. So when I read comments, I haven't seen who the writer is.

There are at least a dozen posters I can almost always predict. Your post was a no-brainer. Puns/wordplay always work.

Wait.  'No-brainer'?!?!?!

Those morons remind me of the round-earthers.
