Kevin O’Connor

It feels like every other game, once it's Jokic and Westbrook, then it's Jokic and Murray, then it's Jokic and MPJ. It's always a different connection. Their offense, sometimes I felt like it got a bit dry.

Sometimes it was always Jokic-Murray end-of-game situations, but there's variety now that makes me think, wait a minute, is Denver actually just the only true contender besides OKC in the Western Conference? Are they actually the team that could take them down? Because I'm not... I'm not totally sold on Dallas anyway. I think they have too many holes. I'm still worried about Luka's health.

I mean, when you're coming back post-All-Star break with that type of injury, that's the type of thing they can get hurt again. And Kyrie in and out still as well. A lot of questions there with them, even prior to Lively.

I don't think you can throw away the season. You can't. Like you said, with Embiid, if he's healthy, they've been good after he got back in December. Granted, he's missed a lot of time since then. But if Embiid's healthy, you know you're competitive. The problem is the fact that you get Paul George and you're saying, well, he's just going to be better than Tobias Harris.

He's going to be way better than Harris that has been for us. And then he looks like Tobias Harris for you. And so if Paul George is actually... Is that an insult to Tobias Harris? I'm not sure. Yeah, it is. Because Tobias Harris is very average, below average with the Sixers. And he's been pretty good with the Pistons.

That would be fair if he did say that he's at least been on the court. But with Paul George, he just looks like a complete shell of his former self. So if the Paul George decline is beginning and this isn't just an off year at 35, 36 years old, whatever he is, you have to take advantage of these years, especially if like Embiid is healthy come April and you sneak in as the seven or the eight seed.

You can't waste a year.

You can't waste a year.

You can't waste a year.

Yeah. That's what I mean. If they win the two playing games and they sneak in in that case, and there's a seven or eight, like you gotta, you have to go for that possibility. You can't completely tank out here, but if MB doesn't come back, Moving up in the lottery is your silver lining here for Philadelphia. But I don't think you can tank for that. It's not worth doing that.
