As a fan, seeing Kawhi Leonard hit that shot is good for the game, which is lacking in recent classic moments. The Toronto Raptors are officially on the map, ending the stigma of not being clutch. But, imagine being the Philadelphia 76ers.
Following years of struggle, the Sixers’ core emerged. Behind their stars, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, they finally started winning games, as JJ Redick provides veteran experience. Mid-season, they added Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris, making them the best, on paper.
After all of that, the Sixers get into the playoffs, where they had slight struggles with the Nets, before losing in heartbreaking fashion to the Raptors. As the leader of the team, Joel Embiid admitted to letting his squad down, but tonight would be different, and they lost. Joel Embiid cried, it was emotional, but Twitter’s got jokes.
