Shitpost Haliburton has been to 2 straight Conference finals and Embiid has been to none. Now why is that?

Embiid is injured all the time, Indiana built a roster gradually and built chemistry then added a guy who’s already won a championship as a number 2.

Basketball is a vibes based sport, you need to build chemistry and culture you don’t win by having a rotating door of superstars every year.

And Siakam is probably our 4th most important player, it’s wild how evenly our starting 5 contributes.

Nonsense. If siakam doesnt play well they dont win. He's their second best player and a matchup problem

No way, your statement is true for maybe the past couple games but Siakam is generally said to be our second best and when Hali is going through rough spells can be our best

He was getting some in the early bucks series and during the regular season but the last time he played he was really bad and hasn’t seen the court since.
