That’s a bad bet. But Doc-Harden-Embiid going to disappoint in hilarious and devastating fashion somewhere in the playoffs. Don’t let it be THE KNICKS, too

Don’t sleeep!

if they wanna call embiid out for ducking sounds like you doing the same my friend

talk a mean game but come time its a no show

It’s not a given the 6ers stay @ the 3 seed. Their remaining games look tougher than the Cavs’.

Have faith the Knicks hold steady in 5th to close out the szn.

Neither team vying for 4th is outright better than the Knicks so it’s gonna be a hard fought series, no matter the opp, in the first round.

100% - the Cavs have less games against much weaker opponents so have a good chance of passing the Sixers for the 3 seed. Sixers have the tie-break so a tie is no use.

Shameful

Embiid ducked last night, and y’all might lose in round 1.

If the east second round is the top 4 teams then the 76ers would be the worst out of the 4
Cavs are definitely a sleeper pick and can beat anyone

There's like 20 of these things now

I feel like this somehow has disaster written all over it.

People cant afford things as is and are using credit, now you can pay back later with 0% interest and no monthly payments?

Y'all man's Jokic is more likely to get upset 1st Rd than Embiid.

People getting access to leverage so easily is such a bad thing. Fintech in general is a disaster waiting to happen. People are just clicking on their phones and doing stuff and its creating a level of detachment to where it doesn't even feel real at times. Just click two buttons on your phone and boom its happening.

Its so easy to do on top of it. The total addressable market is so large, everyone spends money, 99% of the country uses leverage in some form and traditional finance is so fee heavy that everyone is quick to run away from it but IDK man...There are barriers to entry for a reason.

I agree, seems bad but its already gotten to a point where it can't be stopped.

yep that's just big corp preying on people. one way or another they'll get theirs. and it's usually people of color (usually younger) who are opting for those klarna type installment payments for purchases. very similar in vibe to the many oportunistic quick loan centers found in every hood

these companies are sharks. don't fall for the interest free magic

For real man, its just 2008 under a different vertical. Bad loans are bad loans. People should be able to enjoy life for sure, but there should be a greater responsibility amongst lenders to protect people from themselves.

Facts. At certain times, Money don’t even feel real at this point
