Both teams have pretty similar title odds according to Vegas with all the Harden trade stuff going on. And ironically these are the 2 teams linked for the Harden trade.

But lets assume Harden gets traded somewhere else for swaps and 2nd rounders.

Which team the Clippers with Kawhi/PG13/RUSS or the 76ers with Embiid/Maxer/Tobias

if they both make the finals who would be the bigger stunner…

the West is a lot more stacked but the East is more top heavy so for these 2 teams to make the finals they will need to be upsetting the favorites

    The Sixers by a lot. The Clippers’ problem had largely been health. The Sixers’ problem is that Embiid and Harden’s games don’t translate well to playoff basketball.

    Philly by far. A healthy Clippers team I can very very easily see making a Finals run, Kahwi and Paul George are still elite as fuck when healthy.

    The 76ers? Even when perfectly healthy they have the whole James Harden thing to deal with and we all know how Embiid performs in the playoffs.

    6ers because they’re not as talented and their talent doesn’t translate to the playoffs. Embiod stylistically is an uphill battle as a #1 option for a playoff team.

    Sixers don’t seem to have a path given their roster, and they are likely to lose Harden. The Clippers can at least wish for health.
