4. Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers quietly had one of their best seasons in recent history. This is a team that will head into the playoffs as the 1-seed in the Eastern Conference and a team that has the talent and depth to make a deep run.

It appears that the gamble paid off for the Brooklyn Nets. This is a team that is going to be healthy heading into the playoffs and we’re about to find out whether it was all worth it in the end for this club.

Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden haven’t played much together this season, but they’re going to be a full-go when the playoffs begin. Does any team in the Eastern Conference have enough fire power to keep up with their big three?
