Paul George to PHI makes the East even tougher

I agree first and foremost is us vs health.

Also, we need not be worrying about the Clippers, I mean Sixers, when there are clearly a lot of other match-up problems like the Knicks, Bucks, and Heat.

All I think are better and have better chemistry than the Sixers.

Those are the top 3 teams in the East to me. Below us, of course.

Also, don't sleep on Orlando and even Indy.

My eastern Conf Power Rankings break down as follows.

Celitcs
Knicks
Bucks
Sixers
Magic
Heat
Indy
Cavs
Hawks
Bulls
Hornets
Raptors
Wizards
Nets
Pistons

I don't know about you, but I was underwhelmed by Embiid's performance in the Olympics. I'm not saying he's done, but he looked old and slow in the games I saw.

I actually was impressed with his play vs Joker, but outside of that, this proves that without phantom foul calls and flops, he can't pad his stats.

Also proves, when he doesn't get as many touches and isn't the best player on the floor, he kinda isn't all that amazing.

Still, without having any other competent bigs on our roster, he did enough of what we needed to win.

Notice in the gold medal game he started each half but only played 6 mins of each as well.
