Daily News | This Sixers playoff run has a different feel — and that starts with Joel Embiid
76ers defeat the Brooklyn Nets in the first roundThere’s a chance they could avoid a nightmare second-round matchup if the Boston Celtics fall to a yet-to-be-determined first-round opponent. However, the more likely outcome has them in line to face a Boston squad that they have struggled mightily against in recent years. Then there’s the elephant in the room: the Sixers are 1-12 since 1986 in second-round playoff series.
“I’m super excited,” Reed said of the postseason. “I feel like this year is going to be a much better year for us as a team to excel because we have much better team chemistry and team dynamic now. I feel like we can really make it to the Finals.” Even when trailing by 20 points, they don’t panic. That much is evident during timeouts, when the Sixers keep reiterating for everyone to hang in there because they’re going to win.
