I guess…but even Boston would rather face the bulls than basically a perennial 2-3 seed as the 8 seed in the first round
I don’t think they care, Joel Embiid has never beaten the Celtics in a playoff series and outside of last year it has never been really close in a series

Even if Embiid never missed all this time and Philly remained in the top 3 it would've been (and likely will be) the same ending as it's always been...getting sent home in the second round.

Philly's team roster isn't good enough to beat Boston in a 7 game series and I wouldn't pick them against Milwaukee either. If Philly remained in the top 2-3 or even 4th position in the East they'd be facing Milwaukee or Boston in the second round, and as good as Embiid and Maxey are that's not enough to beat them.

The only way Philly would get past them is if something unfortunate such as injuries happened to one or two of the Celtics/Bucks stars (Brown/Tatum, Dame/Giannis) at the wrong time.

Sixers would need the basketball gods' luck on their side.

Once again…even the mighty Celtics would prefer facing an 8 seed that they’d sweep easily instead of a team that played them 7 games last year..with an mvp caliber player

It’s not a hot take

Relax
