Ben Simmons gives jersey to young fan after game
"We have a bright future". But there was an underlying optimism about what might lie ahead for Philadelphia.
There were high hopes for the 76ers heading into the National Basketball Association playoffs after a campaign that yielded 52 victories in the regular season and a first playoff series win since 2012 - a round-one triumph against the Miami Heat.
Lurking beneath all that the Sixers accomplished this season was a danger inherent in any preternatural success.
For the Sixers to become truly elite, they need to bring in one more superstar. For the series, the Sixers were minus-63 with Simmons on the court. That starts with Game 1 in Boston, where the Celtics are 7-0 in the playoffs.
Following the loss, per ESPN's Ian Begley, Embiid said the Sixers can learn from their mistakes and "definitely" have more to show. We felt like we had a good chance to get to at least the conference finals and that was our goal.
"We feel like when everybody is on, we're unbeatable". There was a process to get to the playoffs, we did it ...
The only person standing in Embiid's way was 208cm, 118kg Baynes. JJ Redick and Marco Belinelli are among the league's best three-point shooters.

But the club didn't have a timeout remaining and couldn't generate a shot inbounding from under the Celtics' basket with 2.4 seconds left.
But overall, Brad Stevens is amused by the exterior angst.
"Coming into this building and arena the fans are wonderful here", Simmons said.
Like Boston, Philadelphia has drawn attention with its postseason run. "Fine line, obviously", the Celtics coach said.
The Celtics defeat the 76ers 114-112 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
76ers president and general manager Bryan Colangelo also has plenty of tools to strengthen the roster. On a bigger note, the Sixers have the opportunity to make a splash in free agency with big names like Paul George and/or LeBron James with a sizable amount of cap room. They will be picking 26th, 38th, 39th, 56th and 60th - and will likely have a lottery pick, as well. If the Los Angeles Lakers' pick lands at #1 or at #6 to 30, the pick will go to Philly.
What the Sixers did not learn is whether Fultz will be that guy, and it's hard to envision them doing so before the time comes to make some critical offseason decisions. But on Wednesday, the loss to Boston - and what could have been - was foremost on their minds. Ben Simmons added 18 points, eight rebounds and six assists while teammate Dario Saric had 27 points and 10 rebounds. "I'm much better than you guys think".
