Daily News | Doc Rivers has Joel Embiid, James Harden, and the stable Sixers cooking down the playoff stretch
Those teams had obvious flaws. The biggest: Ben Simmons’ debilitating limitations on offense. Second-biggest: Joel Embiid’s immaturity and softness.
This team isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty damned good. Predictably so. No matter what lineup Rivers presents, you kind of know what you’re going to get. They are generally playing hard, and smart, and peaking as the playoffs approach.Entering Friday night against Portland, the Sixers hadn’t lost to a non-playoff team in 16 games, dating back to a Jan. 30 loss to the Magic.
OK, maybe the turnovers aren’t the most significant aspect of the run. This is: Embiid, once the poster child for the fallacy of “Load Management,” played 15 of those 16 games. Bad foot, bad ankle, bad back? These days, he’s a bad mamma jamma.
