The Sixers are different this year because they no longer have perennial losers Doc Rivers and James Harden on their team. I think this might be the year they break through and get to the Finals. I know it's crazy to think that but the Sixers with Nick Nurse coaching them and Harden off the team are better. This Knicks/Sixers will be a long series though and I expect the Knicks to give the Sixers a run for their money but I think the Sixers find a way to get it done.Rooting for the Knicks
But not having a second shot-creator could be problematic in a series like this
Feels like a 7 game series
Sixers do have a little "chokey" ness to them though. And I don't think Embiid is 100%
Oh it's not crazy that they're better without HardenThe Sixers are different this year because they no longer have perennial losers Doc Rivers and James Harden on their team.

Yeah Embiid's health is the only drawback backing them because he could get re injured at any time but realistically I think the only team that can beat Boston in the East is this Sixers team imo. Only if Embiid is completely healthy because if he is I think the Sixers can pose huge matchup problems for Boston. Of course they have to get past the Knicks first and I don't think it's a given even though I picked them to win this series.Oh it's not crazy that they're better without Harden
Harden is a chubby choker
They could get there, but worry about Embiid's health
Yeah some good points hereYeah Embiid's health is the only drawback backing them because he could get re injured at any time but realistically I think the only team that can beat Boston in the East is this Sixers team imo.

And dominates it’s bizarreAnything involving the 76ers is unwatchable. Embid coming down the court looking like he needs an oxygen tank all night isn't quality basketball
