    remember Butler had three stops before Miami ....

    I have the opinion his locker room leadership may have issues...

    In the Heats locker room his is the alpha

    They are the same players they were when with the Sixers. The issue is that Miami and Boston do not run their offense through a plodding center that is a bad passer and bad rebounder. In the playoffs, teams only scheme/practice to play against that one series opponent and can lock in on player’s weaknesses. Embiid has shown that when the going gets tough in a playoff series, he will make mistakes and sometimes simply disappear. His bad passing and rebounding gets amplified in a series. His stamina has been an issue since day 1. Next season the Sixers will have a new coach and probably some new players. Next May people will once again be having these same conversations about why did the Sixers get bounced early. The problem is staring the team in the face.
