Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid may have “Troel” as his nickname on Twitter, but he's not here to troll and joke this time around. Instead, the Sixers star is all about business as his team enters the postseason with the championship in mind.

While the Sixers are already secured of a playoff spot after topping the Eastern Conference, Embiid knows the job is far from over. However, he wants the rest of the league to know that they are coming to the postseason to win it all.

Joel Embiid and the Sixers took down the Orlando Magic, 122-97, on Friday to secure the No. 1 seed in the East, so the All-Star big man has every right to be confident heading into what could be their biggest shot to win a title.

Embiid has been a monster on both ends of the  floor this 2020-21, which is why he as been an MVP candidate all season long. Meanwhile, his All-Star partner in Ben Simmons has been on point on the defensive end–establishing himself as one of the Top 2 candidates to bag the Defensive Player of the Year,

With an offense anchored by Embiid and  a stingy defense led by Simmons, the Sixers are one of the favorites to come out of the East. While the Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks pose a threat, there is reason to believe the Sixers are the true team to beat in the East.
