Recently, O'Neill talked about Harden and Embiid in a podcast show and threw out the idea that their duo is far inferior to the OK group.
The Sharks denied that the two duo were comparable, and the reason he gave was simple, as the OK group went through 8 years of domination, winning three of the four NBA Finals. The Diden combination is not at all close, and this comparison must be stopped.
Interestingly, on February 7, O'Neill forwarded a news item in the US media that said that the duo of Harden and Embiid will be the most dominant duo since the OK group.
From here, it can be seen that O'Neill is still very optimistic about the future potential of the Diden combination, but compared to the OK combination, they really need to prove themselves with results. Since entering the 21st century, no team has ever created a three-game championship, and the four-star Warriors have not been able to achieve this goal.
Diden has only worked together in 5 games, the sample is small, the playoffs are the stage of testing strength, rushing out of the East to lift the O'Brien Cup, they can grasp a certain right to speak. However, the 76ers' opponents are difficult to pin down, with defending champions Bucks, Heat, Bulls, Celtics and Cavaliers all standing in the way.
Perkins tweeted: "I firmly believe that we are about to witness the best Eastern Conference playoffs ever. "With the strength and weakness of the East not obvious, the 76ers want to make history is not an easy task.
