Will Philadelphia 76ers Make It to the NBA Finals This Year?

Riding the wave of Philly’s fairytale postseason, Andrew Sharp and Ben Golliver of the Open Floor podcast discuss the Sixers’ run thus far and contemplate their future.

Andrew Sharp: We should just talk about this series, and for me, to my eyes, I think that this is the ultimate testament to that cliche, “Styles make fights.” Because Philly is great and is clearly the better team, but this Heat is so perfectly constituted to bother guys like Ben Simmons.

They go 10 deep with athletes, they have an unlimited number of fouls to throw at these guys, and they’re a great foil for a Sixers team that is ascending and looks like a legitimately great team.

We could not have asked for a better test in the first round, and I have to give you credit here, because on our playoff preview a week ago, you said that this was the series you were most looking forward to.
