Katz argues that Joel Embiid now faces the greatest pressure and will bear the blame if the Sixers fall short.

“the pressure has gone to a billion is Joel Embiid. Because if they don't perform, it will be his”

Dan Katz argued that in crunch-time possessions the 76ers have become Tyrese Maxey's team rather than Joel Embiid's.

“when you have two possessions at the end of the game that are like gotta-have-it possessions, it's Tyrus Maxey's team”

Katz said the effect of the series win on Joel Embiid's legacy remained to be determined depending on how far the 76ers go.

“I'm saying it's... to be determined. You can't be like, this is definitive. This has changed everything”
