Brooklyn at Philadelphia 1:00 ET
Nets (+) over 76ers- No. 3 seed Philadelphia is hosting Brooklyn the sixth seed tipping off the NBA Playoffs. The 76ers swept the beleaguered Nets 3-0 this season with all three wins in double digits. Joel Embiid certainly gets my vote for MVP and with NBA assist leader James Harden running the point they can beat anybody anytime. But, playoff history has not been kind to James Harden played teams as his early departures are common. This Nets team has been hit with more crap including player demands of trades and defections as well as a coaching change and they are still standing. Their is something about the integrity of this team I like and will play them in game one. Take BROOKLYN!
