Mark, via email: Can Joel Embiid s MVP level of play translate to the playoffs?
Can it? Absolutely. Will it? We ve all got to see it to believe it.
There are reasons to be dubious of the Sixers winning formula holding up under playoff pressure. Officials are less inclined to let you live at the free-throw line in the playoffs, something we see hamper Embiid in crunch time even in the regular season. Beating double teams will almost certainly be tougher for Embiid in the playoffs. Not only will he be up against better defenses, he ll be up against defenses that can prep for him exclusively, picking up on weaknesses and forcing role players to beat them in big moments.
