So we go from 'lucky to get Embiid back' to getting past the second round?  Changing the parameters on the fly a bit.

Pretty impressive 29 point win the first game.

Lucky to get Embiid back from an injury that sidelined him for his first two years. That comment wasn't about this year. I think Philly will get past the first round cause the opponent is weak, but the second round will be a different story without Embiid. It doesn't matter tho, it looks like he will be back before then anyway.

Yeah, LeBron's young supporting cast acquired at the trade deadline look like doo doo out there. LeBron gonna have to play his best ball.and heavy minutes of his playoff career.  He's got no Kyrie to help him.out. Just LeBron and a bunch of role players.

They shot incredibly bad this first game, along with the Pacers shooting very very well. I don't think that particular combination will happen again. I still expect LeBron to advance.
