And honestly, who could blame people for doubting his decision? Simons leads in rbounds with 10.8 and in assists with 9.8 per game.

Embiid showed this type of potential in his year at Kansas. The mantra has come to fuel an offensive machine that, at the most important time of year, is humming along in high-octane fashion. Joel Embid said “Our time is now” and the Sixers are looking like they could make Embid look like a prophet. Yes, you read that correctly. The Celtics hold a 3-2 lead in that best-of-seven.

While his performance on the court is obviously crucial to the Sixers success, his presence off the court could prove to be just as vital.

This is the kind of team where they don’t let you off the hook.

Ben Simmons helped guide the Sixers to a 106-102 win in Game 4 with his first triple-double of the series. “Well, he hasn’t been back to The Finals since”.

Sam Hinkie may be gone, but the fundamental strategy – gutting a middling team to recharge the roster over a few years – seems to be paying dividends.
