You don't expect them to win.

There are too many variables for this team going forward.

But they're a really scary matchup because...

When you're talking about top three talent, there's not a lot of teams in either conference that can really match Maxie and Bede and Paul George when they're all going, when they're all playing well.

Like, I think they played okay in this game against the Hornets.

I thought Maxie was kind of the best.

Like, you can tell that he was missing time with...

a finger injury rather than a knee injury or something.

That's going to hamper his burst going forward.

Cause this dude was flying that donkey head.

Like you're talking about the lefty one there in the fourth quarter.

I heard Eric Collins say he was shot out of a cannon on this one.

He used that phrase multiple times on Tyrese maximum.

So that's how you know Maxie was playing pretty well.

He looked like his old self.

Paul George can hit big shots when needed, can take a little bit of the responsibility from Maxie, and then Embiid is pretty steady.

And I thought he was bringing it on the defensive end against the Hornets as well after kind of letting Moussa run wild with getting the offensive rebounds, that kind of stuff.

They're a super talented team.

Yeah.

And if they get the right matchup, people will take them in a first-round playoff series.
