Led by the star duo of Joel Embiid and James Harden, the Philadelphia 76ers look to stand out amongst the heavy-hitters of the Eastern Conference during the 2023 NBA playoffs.

The Sixers’ opening series felt like a long time coming, too. Philadelphia faces Harden’s former team, the Brooklyn Nets.

However, it’s not quite the Nets team one would have envisioned facing over a year ago when Harden was traded to the 76ers. Sent in the other direction was Ben Simmons, who is out with a back issue. No Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving on the other sideline, either.

But Brooklyn’s defensive might is led by Philadelphia native Mikal Bridges, who attended Villanova and was eventually drafted by the 76ers.

There will be no easy outs in the postseason, and the best thing you can do for your Sixers is support them harder now than ever.
