Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers are a team to watch in the Eastern Conference, So far, since acquiring James Harden for Ben Simmons, they’ve looked like one of the best teams in the league. Of course, the big question is whether or not they’ll be able to carry this momentum in the playoffs.
And the big questions surround James Harden. Joel Embiid has turned in big, dominating playoff performances in the past. Harden, on the other hand, is known for slowing down by the time the playoffs roll around.
Will that be different playing next to Embiid? If that is so, then perhaps the Sixers should be taken seriously and be viewed in a completely different light heading into the postseason.
