00:00Tomorrow, the 76ers will be without Paul George and Joel Embiid.
00:09You had to see that coming, right?
00:11You had to see it.
00:12I mean, I didn't see Embiid.
00:13I didn't know Embiid was going to miss the game.
00:17I'll make this last point and we're going to get JPM.
00:20So I went through the whole deal.
00:24I think I've landed on the, I think my belief is fully healthy.
00:31The Sixers have the best roster in basketball.
00:34And I truly do not think there is even a single person in the world that convinced me they
00:38are worth betting to win the title or win the conference because of this.
00:43Because of the, last year with Joel Embiid, they were as good as the Boston Celtics.
00:51Win percentage, net rating, you name it, they did it.
00:54They did it with Embiid.
00:58And then the same thing that always happens, happens.
00:59And now Paul George, who's an injury guy, again, it's unfortunate.
01:04It is unfortunate, but it is reality.
01:08If the 76ers show up to the Eastern Conference Finals fully healthy, yeah, maybe I'll bet
01:13on them.
01:14But again, they've also never even been to the conference finals with Embiid.
01:19The roster is legitimately great, great.
01:25It doesn't matter.
01:26I will not touch a future.
01:28And there are people out there who's, I know that are betting that teams like missed the
01:32playoffs.
01:33What if it all goes bad, play in?
01:34I get it.
01:35I like, hear what I'm saying to you.
01:38I think that this team fully healthy is the best roster in basketball, and I'd rather
01:42bet them to miss the playoffs than win the title.
01:45That's how little trust I have in their health situation, because they've given us every
01:49reason to believe that you shouldn't have trust in it.
01:53This is, listen, I was correct about the Clippers thing for a long time, and then Paul George
02:01left.
02:02People would have convinced themselves again, by the way, to bet the Clippers this season.
02:04I promise you that.
02:06To like win the West and everything like, oh, if they're healthy, right?
02:10The Sixers seemingly are in a comparable boat.
