You’ve been through a lot.
The Process. Navicular bones and thoracic outlet syndrome. Burnergate (and the Colangelos in general). The collaborative front office. The Kawhi shot. Not keeping Jimmy Butler. The Al Horford era. Ben Simmons ... well, Ben Simmons. And, of course, second-round exit after second-round exit.
You’ve been hurt, over and over. How can you possibly be expected to open your hearts and love again?
Well, this post won’t ask you to do that. If you’re worried about the health of Joel Embiid and James Harden for the postseason, that’s fair. If you have concerns over Doc Rivers’ rotation and player usage, also fair.
