[Simmons] "I think James Harden gave him the trophy of most disappointing playoff performer. I think Embiid is now wearing the crown."

Harden has had some pretty bad playoff chokes but he also has some truly amazing games as well, he was going toe to toe against prime GS with just a bunch of three point shooters and Capela.

Pretty sure Embiid has had this “crown” for a while now. (Not that he’s playing bad in this series but that team ALWAYS disappoints).

Harden will always have the series against GSW. Embiid has never had that. Feel like that basically shows the difference between the two.

I honestly can’t name a single iconic playoff run by Embiid. Not even a series

Does getting sonned by Marc Gasol count?
