Can the 76ers Advance to ECF for the first time in over 20 years?


The 76ers come into this series as major underdogs. Considering that the 76ers will be playing without Embiid for the beginning of this series, the 76ers might just need a miracle. In the first round, the Heat looked great and played with championship-caliber intensity. They didn't just rely on Butler to play well, they had great games from their role players and everyone was hustling. It was not a coincidence that they were the #1 seed in the East. For the 76ers to beat them they will need vintage James Harden. Unless Harden can hold it down and other players like Maxey and Harris continue to step up, this series could end before Embiid comes back, depending on how severe his injury is. Considering that Embiid is out unless Harden steps up big time I assume the Heat win in 5.
