The 76ers have been meshing with each other well you got guys like Thybulle, Milton and Korkmaz who deserve a chance in these playoffs. You got unstoppable in the paint in a guy like Embiid who can just post you up and draw a foul. Simmons is a top 2 defender. I dont have them over the bucks because Simmons will rely on passing it to the paint and the bucks have guys like Middleton and Holiday that can steal it from him. Embiid will draw attention from a big frontcourt and Thanasis(I am Joking) and Lopez. Bucks have shown to outlast teams to the last minute and I believe they can do it. Nets: You all know there superpower dynasty and you think I am on crack for not making them reach the Conference Finals. If they were in Phillys bracket 76ers fan wouldve been mad cause I would have had them advancing. Now Giannis 2 games in a row had outmatched KD and Kyrie. I know they didnt have Harden but Holiday played such good defense. Nets are a offensive threat and a defensive threat in the perimeter. But the Bucks have bodies to wear down them and it'll be the best game 7 of all time. Bucks: Now this is my bracket so I have the Bucks making it to the finals. I fear Giannis when he is seizing a finals trip so I give him it. Giannis can knock open 3's. The way Coach Bud turns around is like Playoff Rondo (ok not all that). But Giannis has Jrue Holiday who can defend and is a smart playmaker with him instead of Bledsoe I think they could make that finals run. Knicks: You guys have had a stellar season. When a player gets hot on your team you guys get that juiced 2k takeover and do it. Defense on the post has been one of yor strengths. Your 3 point shooting has been ok and Bullock is the reason why. But I think a team like the Hawks would run such a fast offense and they have a true rim protector in Capela and a vet in Gallinari. Hawks: Now the Knicks are a hard team to beat butttt you guys have Trae and when Trae go crae crae it may may as well be over for the other team. Him Clint and JOHN COLLins are a great trio and will stop Randle from his full strengths. Now the Nets its a different type of Listerine the one where they can go fire back 10x times harder (pause) but still. Heat: I believe in you guys making a strong matchup against the bucks. But there is times when you guys cant score and just rely on like Kendrick Nunn or a circus shot from Precious Achiuwa. Butler was great last season and there is a great chance he might to prove me (the hater wrong). The Bucks are now more grittier than last season so I have them over Miami. Yes (I didnt forget about Oladipo). Celtics: I will keep it short you dont have Jaylen Brown and Tatum's duffle only lasts for so long. Wizards: Russell has been amazing this year and he wil get some energy going at embiid. But Simmons can clamp and go match Russ statline besides the points. Embiid is hard to defend and they lack that. You guys do have Beal who can revive you once your getting blown out. WESTERN Jazz: Donovan Mitchell will come back in the 1st round and healthy. The reason I think you guys take the warriors to 6 is cause Stephen Curry can just go off and the Jazz just dont have a option for those types of players. Jazz play team basketball and shoot a lot. Against the Clippers I think your efficiency will go down as they can lock up players. Mitchell will have a terrific series but its down to Clarkson to carry the bench. Gobert also needs to work on his offense against guys like Zubac, Ibaka. Suns: Lakers are a tough opponent but I will believe that you guys can knock them out. When Booker does will the team does too. Chris Paul is a smart player and will go up against Lebron to lead his team. Ayton has developed into the fit and I think he can hold onto his own. Even though the Lakes have no.1 defense the Suns also have a good defensive team. Nuggets: Suprisingly you guys have been winning without Murray not suprising porter jr. step up. Now Jokic is a superstar and when he controls a game he does do that and he will find guys like Porter or Morris. But Jokic can be jokingly like a clown and flop or argue with the refs but, they could handle a team like the Blazers. Clippers: I am bias first of all. Ok against a team like the Mavs Luka can scare me and their big rotation and Kleber porzingis is hard to beat. Once they are on a roll theyre good to go. But the Clippers just have weapons and now Rondo who will setup plays for PG13. Kawhi has been hard for the mavs to defend and the clippers make the mavs pay for their turnovers. Mavs: Mostly what I had said for the Clippers but Luka Doncic has been tortured by the clips at times. Hardaway Jr. can step up but he is inefficient. It is also Porzingis who helps them with his threes and his energy to get the mavs to crazy runs and help them win. Blazers: Lillard hasnt had his best season record wise though he can carry this team on his shoulders with McCollum. Nurkic can get injured too much and against a team like Denver it will be hard to guard a guy like Jokic. Covington is either really good on defense or not. They have offensive weapons in Powell but they have to get that playmaker and defender to keep up with Denver. Lakers: Lebron says hes not 100 percent and he has to show up. AD hasnt been that efficient since he has been back. Harrell is frustrating as their rim protection off the bench hasnt been good. They dont play guys like Gasol with likes of Schroder and bron that much and just dont bring enough support off the bench. They need KCP performance as he plays good perimeter D and Horton Tuckers underrated production in the playoffs. Warriors: Play in teams like San Antonio and Memphis are hard to beat but Steph will try to get redemption. Curry is on a mission. Wiggins has been playing good but shot selection at times get scary. They can probably hold it down against Gobert but the Jazz skillset is unmatchable. Poole and Lee are guards that provide well but without good rim protection and Looney Sucks i dont see them being good this season. PLS SUPPORT BY SHARING AND VIEWING 😀✌
