Nets-Sixers sounded like a great playoff series back in January. Now, it's looking like the Sixers will be on cruise control until the real test begins in Round 2.
PHILADELPHIA --The Sixers will take on the Brooklyn Nets, beginning with a Saturday tilt at the Wells Fargo Arena.Joel Embiid and James Harden against Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving; Ben Simmons against his former team and ... Oh, wait.KD and Kyrie have moved on to new teams and Simmons is done for the season, again.
So we are left with a matchup that heavily favors the Sixers. After all there's nobody to match up against Embiid.Plus, Embiid has been simply dominant the past few months. He's won Eastern Conference Player of the Month three of the past four months. Now you never expect a team to be looking ahead, but we all know that the East is a Beast and Brooklyn isn't part of that monster.
